The last week of October 2021 they made 104 (based on SEC filings). 200 is not a stretch. The article points to "people familiar with the issue" which is journalism speak for anyone that would throw out a number to us. The article is just trying to drive clicks and isn't bringing any new...

Considering they were at 100 the last week of October this is kind of a non-story The last week of October they were able to produce 104 (back from the S1 filings for the IPO). 200 isn’t exactly a stretch. This isn’t really news based on “people familiar with the matter”. Instead it’s random...

I wouldn’t worry about a servo. As long it is properly specced for the weight to move the vent they will last plenty long enough. For comparison think about a good 3d printer (or rc car steering) which can easily run without maintenance and “non-stop” for years.

I’m not sure why it’s disappointing? It will never be as big as a full size truck since it’s a foot and a half shorter, but a Ridgeline and R1T isn’t small or cramped.

I have a Ridgeline and when I sat in the R1T at the event in Normal, IL it felt very similar.

There is “super low” (one inch lower than normal driving) which doesn’t allow driving, it’s for getting in and out of the truck. Then there is “super high” which gets you to 15” (one inch more than normal max off-road) and also isn’t for normal driving. It’s used to get just a bit more clearance...

Olathe Kansas (Kansas City) is in the list.

This is continuing to happen across all industries as tech gets "good enough" that people stop feeling like there is a significant reason to buy the newest version of a widget. A company now needs to get continued income after their market is saturated. Subscriptions are one of the easiest ways...

Rivian was producing 15 a day (assuming a 7 day work week 104/7) for the last week of October per the last amendment of the S1. They certainly haven’t gone down in production rate in the last month and a half. We will have a new production rate on the 16th with their quarterly results.

The interest in the R1T is you don’t need another trim to be configured for on-street luxury. As delivered you can put it in sport mode and get 0-60 in 3 seconds, dampening for cornering, etc. All the reviews I’ve read (edmunds, motor trend, etc.) say it is the best on-road truck (and better...

That was written by a guide team member (or other marketing/non-engineer)... was never true, and will never be true. :D

Mythbusters and other have done studies of this. A pickup truck with an open bed didn't negatively affect mileage (opening the tailgate actually made it worse).

The AT tires are also decent snow tires, so some will choose them just for that purpose even if they aren’t used off-road a lot. For me the most compelling and sensible reason to get the R1T is not only is it great off-road, but it’s great on-road. So being on pavement 99% of the time still...

No, it won’t. I have a Ridgeline, essentially the same bed length with the tailgate down. Strap it properly (only way to legally put stuff in the bed of a truck anyway) and 16 foot lumber will work just fine. If you want fewer straps get a hitch mounted extender and you’re done.

with the tailgate down it’s just under 8 feet. 2 feet overhang won’t tilt.

I have a Honda Ridgeline, similar size bed. I’ve easily transported 4x8 plywood and drywall, 10 and 12 foot 2x6s, bundles of 16 ft trim, and 10 foot cut trees. One or two straps, it’s easy.

Page 156 of the R1T manual shows the jack points. https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/rivian-r1t-owners-manual-guide-is-here-?.2217/

I wouldn’t put much stake in the driver’s knowledge about their delivery schedule. From the S1 they will have already started delivering R1Ss at the end of this year. S1: By the end of 2021, we intend to produce approximately 1,200 R1Ts and 25 R1Ss and deliver approximately 1,000 R1Ts and 15 R1Ss.

Comparing the R1T's second row floor mats to the R1S's both look like the same size, but in the R1S animation we see that the seats look "set-back" at least 3-4 inches from where the chilewich mats are. Basically the animation has the seats with maximum middle row legroom (possibly more than the...

Yes, a bike can sit on the crossbars in the bed (I'll try to find the pick and edit this post with a link). I remember seeing someone said the configurator blocks more than one of the racks because of supply chain issues. The kayak mount(and the other accessories) are all available in the Gear...
