Good question, maybe this is a good time to ask. There are third party back up cameras that would work if the standard camera is blocked and not easily relocated, though it would be a shame to have to relocate at all

An option that was brought up in the "what we know" thread, which I thought would be useful for anyone planning an overland build.
I was wondering if that was a thing, that one looks pretty good, but it would require a licence plate relocation since the hitch/tire would be covering the plates
I didnt spend too much time making sure the dimensions were just right, but it would look something like this. This would possibly...
This move to consolidate the launch edition choices may be the right call, but it seems to leave at least half of us disappointed on at least one point.
If the open roof bothers you, I might suggest a roof rack with a solid or tight mesh bottom. I know its not the same as just being able to opt...
Reading that as written, it would appear that all the R1S launch edition stock has been spoken for. They had previously said that if you configure sometime during this early access week, it should be fine, but Rivian's reputation for reliability in making statements has taken a hit lately in my...
Not to me, but i have heard that tesla owners complain about glare on a glass roof. It doesnt seem that the roof has a slider to close it off, so I wonder how that will be. I prefer open top vehicles so ill put up with it no matter what
If you have received information directly from Rivian (email, chat, twitter) that is not currently available on their website, post here and I will add it to this original post.

RJ is vegan and one of the reps at Fully Charged Live said the vehicle is vegan, so it would appear that the choice is based on values and not for political correctness. I consider it a good move to capture the entirety of the target market, since the current configuration is a strong selling...
Yeah, the forest edge interior is a warmer color, while the limestone is more in the neutral band. Personally I dislike Forest Edge. The dash looks cool but I think the seats look strange and would prefer a little more grey in the seat color
I am ordering the launch version for now, despite desperately wanting the larger battery pack. I am late to the party in terms of preordering, and I was thinking about how this would effect the ordering priority. Some thoughts:
Some people will not pull the trigger when it comes time to buy...
I see what you mean about a potential clash of color there. Limestone is currently my runner up, and while i think it would go very well with Ocean Coast, its hard to say if it will work with the green leather. It will certainly go better than pairing it with the blue or red, and it might work...
I like the granite over the midnight personally. Consider that the design of the Rivian headlights feature a black trim around the headlight display, which pops better when there is a contrast, but will totally blend in against the Midnight.
Personally, I am really liking the white and the limestone. I think classic overlander defender white is going to win out for me.
I didn't like how the site kept cycling the colors, even when I slowed down the playback speed, so I made this and I figured I should share.

Heh, there are few things that I'd like to keep to myself. For me this vehicle will be about unplugging (no pun intended). Believe me, I know just how hard it is to keep your data private. I'm not looking for a perfect privacy footprint, there is just something about having a microphone on me at...
