Wondering about the black composite looking panel where the front fender goes, labelled with a green R, and the sill panels labelled fr (front right) and rr (rear right). Thoughts?

The hummer is twice the price of the cybertruck and Rivian with similar specs. Complete non starter for most people, $100k for dual motors?! Contrast that to the ct and r1s with 3-4 motors and top acceleration trim at $70k. The Lordstown is cheap, but not cheaper than the cybertruck for the...

It's funny, when the Rivian was initially announced, that was a lot of power. It was the most power of any electric vehicle with intent of production. I also REALLY liked the quad motor idea, for infinite torque vectoring. Having seen videos of it in action, I am now second guessing the primary...

This is a BIG one. Being able to winch yourself out is absolutely necessary for one rig overloading, and still really nice to have when overloading with a group.

I wondered why I hadn't seen any photos ANYWHERE of the rear seats folded flat. One of the reasons people buy an SUV over a truck is having that huge, flat load floor for hauling long things and for car camping. Remains to be seen how flat, but fully flat folding seats are a major bonus to...

While the Rivian essentially has full time all wheel drive , keep in mind it could weighs 2,000lbs more than your jeep. Sand driving is all about momentum and contact patch, the Rivian has the power but the extra weight means you might have to air down a bit to ensure you don't bury the tires...

As far as the roof rack, we've seen plenty of photos with all sorts of things attached to the racks on the Rivian, so I think a generic roof rack wouldn't be too hard to fit up to the crossbars already on the roof. Generally I've found those sheetmetal bumpers can be fabbed up by your local...

I have no doubt the camp stove will run on the same 120v inverter that powers the 120v bed plugs and possibly the air pump system. Much Thinner gauge wire required if you use 120v vs 12v for feeding those items. Theres supposed to be several plugs around the vehicle, in the frunk, in the bed, in...

A different material? They are all aluminum, its just that the silver r1t 20's are definitely forged aluminum, and the r1s 20's are also likely forged. They just decided to offer the r1s 20's in black as well, both on the r1s and r1t. I prefer the style of the silver r1t 20's anyways, but I'm...

And the confusing thing is, are BOTH 20 styles really forged? The r1t silver 20’s look forged, the r1s 20’s “look” more like a cast wheel.

Yeah, so it appears there are 4 styles of wheels. The standard ugly 21’s, the r1s 20’s in silver and in black, and the with r1t 20’s in silver or the “filled in” style from the r1s in black. Personally I dig the forged thin spoke r1t 20’s, but with they came either all silver or all black. And...

I personally wouldn't dare to repaint a brand new car, no way it will turn out as well as oem paint quality. That being said, I'm very tempted to switch from launch green to white, and get a wrap. Since I plan on taking this on trails, and even easy trails have brush and branches that will...

Well thats the point- Its not a new powertrain now, its already been vetted for several years and hopefully had its issues worked out. In the 4xe, it will have 3 drive modes- hybrid, electric save, and fully electric. So apparently they are learning from the mistakes, and they know that jeep...

Great question I haven't seen asked before. Besides comparing side by side photos, I don't think we have an answer right now.

I WISH I was looking forward to the new f150 hybrid. However... its got a Prius sized battery. I'd expect at best half a mile at walking speed before the ice would kick on. In my mind its an absolute joke, compared to what it could have been. It needed to have a 10-20kwh pack, like the new...

Agree, all things considered its quite a good value. The ONLY thing currently making me hesitate is the cybertruck reservation I have, and the promise that for the same price as the Rivian, it will have 200 more miles of range plus the bed cover solar for 10-15 miles per day of charge. I am...

As mentioned before: The ability to level the truck for a camp spot or something -"Off-road mode" with a selectable 5-10-20 mph speed limiter to limit the ability of your right foot to give way to much speed all of a sudden -With speed limited off-road mode active- Ability to have the truck...

Yeah good points. What I also noticed, in the configurator, is now you can pick the "base model" 135kwh and while it only comes with the black trim (no wood) and black or white seats, that $7500 savings plus saving the premium color cost of $2500 would pay for that enormous 180kwh battery. Not...

Well, having been to events and watched the vehicles running around for over a year now, I was half expecting the blue, named after the founder, to be a launch color, not the most expensive optional color. I have trouble justifying $2,500 for the color of my car, when there are much better ways...

I’m in a similar boat, but cybertruck not hummer. As I’m sure a few other rivian reservation holders are. On paper nothing holds a candle to the range per dollar of the cybertruck, but time will tell. It’s gonna be an interesting summer, as the official details roll out for the production...
