Rivian has a beautiful light bar & presuming regulations support it, what do you think of achievement unlocks to display (as an option if you choose) badges on your lightbar, a few ideas: 26.2 badge - unlocks if you drive to GPS coordinates of a marathon event & the vehicle is stationary during...

I'm working on some design proposals I'd like to publish on my dribble & wondered, for anyone lucky enough to have their R1T or R1S, what is the full resolution of the light bars? I'm realizing this might not be easy to determine even looking at the bars up close, but I feel like there has to be...

Throttle House posted their review of the R1S: Of note, they went into detail on the suspension’s handling at ~3min. mark; I keep hearing of owners who throw their ride into stiff mode (instead of comfort). Really can’t wait for a first-ride to actually experience this in person.

Rivian Stories dropped their YT video of their conversation with Tony, highlights: Covers the new options for us Max Pack holdouts, die-hards, crazies, fanatics Dual Motor architecture overview with Mason (the engineer from their Instagram post) TBD on the “commerce” of buying/upgrading to the...

Fascinating post & story from a reddit user, it seems that the trunk latch failing to fully engage prevented his Rivian from going to sleep fully. Wonder if phantom drain could be traced to incomplete closures and/or sensor glitches on other thresholds like a door, the gear tunnel, and/or the...

Looks like Ford got in with the US Forest Service. IMO it would be worth the cost of the trucks & the charging infrastructure alone if Rivian were to get the chance to supply a number of their trucks for their move to EV vehicles...

More glowing reviews: Of note, Cory took it over Thanksgiving & prefers the handling over the R1T, interesting. maybe that’s because Cory couldn’t break the rear glass panel on the R1S from a poorly supervised forklift movement, ha! Highlights: Cleaner, more simple assembly w/out need for...

Interesting comparison on the structural frames of the Ford Lightning & the Rivian R1T. Highlights: “Limitations” for Ford (existing 150 line & design) vs. Rivian’s more agile approach Challenges potentially for ramp up for Rivian Lightning is simpler Rivian performance spectrum & much more...

More on Rivian as a company, a broader perspective than just the vehicle, from Performance on Wheels Channel: Highlights: It's a viewer's car they'll have access to, promising more detailed analysis later Touched on Rivian's unique characteristics as a company, diverse team - that...

It’s finally here, @OutofSpecKyle’s overall review of the R1S, especially as compared to the e-tron, the Mercedes EQS, BMW iX, the new Range Rover & of course the R1T (not that many vs. R1T). Key takeaways: Kyle argues the cooling is over-active & noisy (I actually like this, it tells me...

Amongst all the advertisement-level spam surface-deep reviews on YouTube these days, the relatively substantive & fair cuts in this video was quite refreshing: Key takeaways / highlights: Good demo of the camp-mode auto-level mode Fair takes on pricing Range hit on the wind/rain (rare for...

Yaaaas, @OutofSpecKyle delivers, thanks man for the “totally awesome” killer off-road analysis comparing the R1T & R1S: But honestly, best review from them yet is the FULL family review, like all the YouTube comments pointed out, none of the other advertisement/reviews on YouTube went any...

Jerry’s dulcet tones & distinct hand/eye/talking to the camera is here after his 6mo. with the R1T, he compares his first drive with a loner R1S (off-road) to his experience with the R1T: Key moments: He caught that the rear window heating elements also extend to the farthest back two side...

Thanks on behalf of all of us pet-lovers out there @OutofSpecKyle!

https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/long-term-2022-rivian-r1t-5000-mile-update.html Hmmmm…they seem to be a bit harsh on the first-gen/first-year-new-model type issues. Not great that the passenger side window framing came loose & that the window stopped rolling all the way up, but seems like a...

SnazzyLabs channeling the same vibe as Doug Demuro: of note, it’s the first video I’ve seen of the small spare inflated & on a wheel of the R1S, made it clear to me I’d want to mount a swing-out full-size spare on the tailgate.
