$6000+ is already pretty significant.

Trucks and true SUVs hold their value better than sedans in general. so you have that going for you at least. Also, these cars are highly unlikely to drop in value for the first 12 months, when demand will exceed supply. The same happened with the Model S when it launched and is now even still...

I wonder if they are going to have a bed extender cage attachment much like Dodge offers with the RamBox system. Something like this is really necessary if you want to utilize the tailgate as bed space. Image in case you don't know what I am talking about - I have this system on my current...

Pricing of Rivian in Canada was first released back in November and was based on an exchange rate of about 1.34. Since then, the Canadian dollar has appreciated significantly. And currently there is a $6000 difference between buying a base model R1S in the US and applying the exchange, vs...

How is Rivian reaffirming delivery in such a short timeframe when they still have **so many information gaps** on the vehicle??? Surely if they are delivering in under 4 months then they should be able to answer any question posed.

What's more surprising to me is that they don't have their social media reps monitor monitor these forums and answer questions directly. Engaging in the community where they are, is kind of marketing 101 in 2021. It's not like these forums are hard to find.

The regulations may be different for motorcycles, not sure. The reason I was told that Tesla has a 12V battery is a safety and regulatory one - that critical vehicle systems have to be kept working in the case of a main power failure, so you can safely get off the road. Just like if your engine...

Sounds a lot like what Honda tried to do... which was a massive failure and in the end they threw up hands and supported AA/CP. It could change launch, if enough people start complaining enough / delaying their order when they open them up for confirmation & payment. As you say, this is...

Not particularly.... it indicates that its non-standard and that aftermarket tailgate options are unlikely to work though. But you may still be able to remove it.

Ugh... this is extremely, extremely disappointing if true... because it won't be better. Tesla has already tried this, its a failure. People want their phone and their infotainment to be seamlessly integrated. It has nothing about UI, it is about INTEGRATION. I want *the live state of every...

Alexa auto is just a voice interface. It only covers like 5% of what is required in the Infotainment system. You can't compare it to Android Auto / Carplay, which can technically be the entire Infotainment system all by themselves (see Polestar as a carmaker who has gone all-in on Android for...

All the bed step talk in https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/bed-step.977 has me asking another question - is the tailgate going to be removable? In most trucks, removing your tailgate entirely is trivial, and necessary in some situations. It also allows you to easily put in an...

The camp kitchen was a cool idea but when you can buy an induction burner for $50 and full blown outdoor camp kitchen for $100 the price is way, way, way out to lunch. It should cost $500 or less. I could justify $1000 to give a decent profit margin. I think you're overestimating the power...

Does Rivian come with roadside assistance in Canada? Most all new vehicles in Canada nowadays have 5 years roadside assistance standard. Will Rivian have a suite of roadside partners who know how to properly tow the vehicle?

I don't even think you're in the minority. Anyone who wanted to tow with this truck wanted that battery.

Agreed 110v @ 15A is not enough for running real equipment - but then again I would be somewhat worried about the sine wave coming out of this before running expensive power tools from it, the modified wave could wreck some. I doubt they will be using a pure wave... supposedly the Cybertruck is...

Has Rivian published any expected Wattage / Amperage ratings for the AC outlet ports in the rear of the vehicle? I am presuming they will be identical for both, but am interested specifically in the R1T. Will they be able to handle 1500 watts , 2000 watts (ie. will they be on-par with the...

I have an 8000lb dry weight (likely ~ 9000lbs loaded) 32 foot camper. I currently tow it with a Dodge Ram 1500 with a 5.7L I don't move it regularly as it is kept normally at a seasonal site, but I need a vehicle that can tow it at least few hundred KMs in a single shot when needed. This is why...

Not having the large pack as part of launch edition of the R1T is stupid.

I am really not sure what to do here. I wish they gave the range information in the configurator. I think I am going to have to email them. Since this truck will be arriving in Nov in Canada I am thinking I will get the AT since they should be good in the snow, and then will not have to get...
