Oh I bought an Ev in 2022 And oh I ordered an EV from Rivian in 2020.... haven't got it quite yet ;-)

Semi-interesting seeing the initial reviews, but none of this really matters until destined owners get their hands on the new vehicles and put them through their day-to-day paces. This includes range numbers and efficiency, plus all the other known Rivian quirks from Vampire drain, through...

I'll be watching this closely. Zero issues with the aftermarket charger I have at home presently running off a 40 amp breaker. Since it's a lower-capacity charger, I have the Rivian version ordered when the max-pack arrives. Seems like an important investment, putting a 60 amp circuit in, and...

If they elevate the QC in other areas, I don't care. I'm quite certain that this company could design 2 air horns that run off of the current compressor via a small reservoir for cheaper than an single electric. https://www.fiammhorns.com/12v-vehicles-without-air-supply/Fiamm-Double-Air-Horn-12v

Thanks for posting. Certainly not saying that there may or may not be a latch or latching mechanism issue But, having a work truck and truck for a good number of years, it is good standard practise to secure your load before travel at any speed, and is the reason most commercial vans have a...

I was reluctant to change my preorder configuration, but with that being pushed back a bit more, I've taken a leap of un-faith and removed the tonneau from my preorder. All the failures seem to point to lack of R&D in the bed/rack/cover department. Sounds like I'd be disappointed anyway.

I had a good chuckle, My email says; We’re happy to report that your delivery window estimate remains the same and your vehicle is on track to be delivered on time. Your updated delivery window estimate is now in your Account.... Except that it did not actually exactly remain the same; It went...

Mine just got bumped ahead. Although I could technically get a non-maxpack R1 soon, I'll still wait. I went from oct/dec 23 to Dec 23/Jan24

Yeah, you could easily do that. The fascia on my Mustang is all fibreglass so if I ding it = super expensive. I put four horns on that and hid them. Simple set of two relays, and in the case of an R1 platform would probably put a diode in line on the +12vDC, just to ensure the original wiring is...

It looks nice, I am awaiting more reviews of the factory supplied tonneau, and if I do not opt for an aftermarket trifold, I may just make my own too, although I am thinking carbon fibre and carbon core PVC foam, as I liked to be fairly abusive of my current bed cover. Then I could probably walk...

Haven't read through this thread, but has Munro taking this system apart yet and critiqued it?

All they would need is a well designed bumpsteer tierod kit, to minimize the toe change at the different suspension heights. Lots of vehicles have them, from lowered suspension vehicles like my mustang (which I installed) to raised vehicles like Jeeps and other offroad vehicles. Nothing really...

You can only make that decision, but we have the benefit of getting a lot of feedback from others as the R1 series evolves. To economize both environmentally and footprint-wise, it's a task to find a versatile vehicle that does everything we want. There are some glaring things that need to be...

Up from what to what?

TBH changing a tire in an emergency set up where the vehicle is on a slight side, or front to back slope, never mind off-road, looks like it would be very sketchy with any of those three set-ups. They look like Jenga blocks I like the @twizzstyle option much better, especially the bottle jack...

I'd definitely like to see a close-up of the mounting with the Thule setup. Makes sense that Rivian would have some cross-compatibility. Certainly make it easy for the outdoorsy people

Well like you, I am mountain-towing a heavy trailer with my maxpack, when I get it. But that's only a couple weeks per summer. If I was towing more than that, I'd get a diesel. I don't relish the idea of adding time to my vacation commute and unhooking the trailer every time I charge, but for a...

Might give you a call when I get mine ;)

It's interesting, but.... the Ford Lightning is a different vehicle than a Rivian. I doubt that anyone who has their heart set on hauling plywood is going to get a Rivian. Likewise, I don't think anyone who is going offroad is going to buy a Lightning Although both vehicles can tow, that is...

I'm definitely going for the performance version ;) Not quite all of the fun the Quad people have, but at least it's a part.
