Surprising that this topic hasn't been discussed but a search found zero results... Google search came up empty too. In the SF Bay Area we have a system called FasTrak for bridges/tolls (https://www.bayareafastrak.org/). The transponders typically get mounted anywhere on the inside of the...

I've never 3D printed anything but all the DIY activity around here has me feeling inspired. I also happen to be pretty familiar with SketchUp, having used it for remodeling and random woodworking projects. I've seen a lot of folks share designs of their prototypes on here but wondering if...

I don't like hammocks. I tried two different ones with my lab and they didn't work well. They didn't sit properly on the seat so it was like walking around on a, well, on a hammock... I also tried one that had a rigid bottom that supposedly created a platform but the rigid stuff broke when my...

Gearing up for delivery in a few weeks (days?) and just starting to get my head around charging infrastructure and maps. I was thinking that Plugshare should be pretty reliable but after literally about five minutes of searching, I've already found discrepancies. Here's what Plugshare says...

I did 1-6 the minute things opened up for me and I was assigned a VIN. But (color me skeptical) I decided not to send my payment (step 7) until I had some inkling of when I could expect delivery of the truck (step 8). The Rivian process even says you can punt on step 7 and delay your payment...

Insurance company (USAA) wanted to know if Rivian has daytime running lights and if there’s a vehicle recovery system (like OnStar). Anybody know the answer to these?

Looks like Rivian is going to deliver my R1T about 9 months before my contractor wraps up our remodel (and installs my Rivian charger). That means I'll be without any kind of home charger for quite some time. This may be a really dumb question but what do you do without a charger? I'm guessing...

I finally got an invite to the shop last week. I want Ocean Coast but for the right paint/interior combo, I will consider pulling the trigger sooner. After seeing about 7 days worth of inventory come and go in the shop (about 10 trucks total) zero of them have the Reinforced Underbody Shield...

Might as well start a new thread to celebrate/commiserate. I was banished from the July - September good time thread but I'm learning to love my new estimate.

Caveats: I work in tech / private equity and have a July 2020 order for an R1T. While I've been somewhat confident that we might pull off a soft landing, my economic outlook has darkened over the last few months. Pick your poison: war in Europe, Russian oil/gas embargo, China lockdown, 40-year...

I've had a reservation for two years and (supposedly) my delivery window is fast approaching. Ha. After a really fun test drive of a Rivian in Sonoma last fall, I haven't really wavered in my commitment to follow through on the purchase but this company is clearly having quality control issues...

Any reports of people taking delivery of anything other than the powered tonneau? My order of preference is 1) manual cover, 2) no cover, 3, buggy and guessing soon-to-be recalled power cover. Just curious if anyone has been able to order and receive delivery of 1 or 2?

Got my test drive today, so here's yet another set of observations for those curious: The good It's fast as hell. I've seen some speculating that it won't hit 60 in three seconds and I will counter it by saying that it definitely hit 60 before I could count to three-mississippi. Not scientific...

(Moderator please feel free to move this. Didn’t see a dedicated spot for Rivian sanctioned events…) There are at least three other posts about the Sonoma First Mile, which starts today and runs for the next couple of weeks. I have an upcoming test drive scheduled but I’d encourage others to...

Maybe the wrong forum to post this but... currently doesn't look like Rivian gave too much consideration for the front plate, so I guess this will be a mod? Ha. This recent photo taken in the wilds of California (where it is illegal to run without a front plate) obviously shows no plate. And...
