yeah that seals it for me, even though it might heighten temps during hot periods, I think I’m going to select the underbody armor when it comes time for me to use the configurator, I’m not impressed with the non-armored underbody screws, they seem to be slipping out; quite surprised that they...

Me as I continue to hold out for a Max Pack: But seriously, glad you finally got your Truck! And do let us know how it holds up in the areas/trips with fewer chargers, I’ll be watching this thread for your honest take about how it is to not have the increased range. TBH, if the RAN was...

+1 to this, Peak Design’s charging car mount is pricy but it looks great, is rock solid, plus it’s made by a great small American startup.

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...

Wow, all y’all in this thread: If you’re bitter & want a Rivian now, there’s a shop here & prices aren’t too much higher than MSRP, ha! https://carsandbids.com/search/rivian

thanks for making such quality videos! seriously, I felt like your snow performance comparison for each car was not only fair, candid but also quite informative; it helped me to prepare adequately in my planning - if I plan to take a Rivian up into the mountains on ice or snow, I’ll definitely...

I have the same question. I’m likely to opt for an R1T, but the R1S would be my preferred form-factor, as I’d rather have an SUV & shorter vehicle for maneuvering.

Aaaaaaannnd here’s another instructive example of why I am holding out for a Max Pack, though let me stipulate that I think he’s likely very biased toward Tesla, & he could have been far more strategic in recharg For me, I want a Max Pack R1T because I expect the charging curve to be very...

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...

? - which is unfortunate because really it would be no skin off of his nose if he was just a bit more transparent & vulnerable as Alex on Autos has been here, but as it is, it doesn’t look great, so undermines all of his opinions. Also, I’ve noticed that Kyle can be more honest, blunt & critical...

Yeah I liked this video, very fair review, glad he was candid about his finances, had good points, & I noticed the melodrama in the comments, but can’t say I disagree with the shade they are throwing to other YouTubers…hmmmmm

Will be following this thread closely (thanks for posting it!), I’m in a similar predicament about the choice of R1T or R1S. Here’s what I’m weighing (in case this helps you or others making similar choice, if any of these are applicable to others): Winter use (trips from Bay Area to Sierras)...

Am I spotting the 20” all-terrains on your display model, are those the tires you’ve been getting these awesome #s with?! Awesome if so!

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...

FWIW, a few brands commissioned a build for SEMA that included an Overland Ruff Rax Bed Rack (I like their style, but might not be for you): https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/optima-overlanding-rivian-r1t-build-teased-for-sema.9445/post-232175 Also, some screenshots from Instagram of...

Haha, sorry, not an engineer, so I’m sure “pad” is the absolute wrong term, but I did stay at a holiday inn express once: But the point is: theories abound that there could be challenges in rapid cooling of the large pack, part of why I’m holding out for a newly-engineered Max Pack design.

I haven’t found independent confirmation of this written anywhere but @OutofSpecKyle mentioned in his driving review of the R1S that he believes that the coolant pads don’t reach the entirety of the battery pack in the large-pack design, in reference to the charging curve performance (not regen)...

Thanks that’s good to hear. I think it’s short-sighted of the street not to recognize this for what it was: IMO this was RJ getting his team to suit up for a full-fledged actually bad recall & they passed the test with flying colors. They now have one recall under their belts & got it done in a...

Yep, total production is all the street cares about this point because they want to see Rivian scale its operations beyond that 80% of total capacity where per-unit production turns profitable. Unless it’s news on their in-house motors, R2, or some explosive growth in reservation numbers (which...

I really liked her review & nearly posted it. I agree that the R1S should have a digital rear-view mirror. Glad to hear she could get in & out of the rear doors fairly easily even with a car seat in her hands & while pregnant. She raised good points about limited ability to put extra car seats...
