Almost certainly a ground loop. They ran into this at TFL trying to do the same thing with the Ford F150 (not the lightning, but still had power available). Check out this video about 2:30 in.

I'm someone that used to MTB a bit and used a hacked up fork mount solution in my Subaru Baja for it's very small bed. It worked fine for me and seems like a fork mount is the ideal solution for the R1T with the factory cross bars. If mounted over the bed you would still have use of the bed &...

Thanks. Forgot about that.

In the bottom of the middle picture is what looks like an emergency latch release. But since you need to get INTO the frunk to remove stuff to access it, it seems unlikely that it releases the frunk latch. But what else could it be a release for? Is it accessible through the grill (which...

I think it's a roll of the dice. Before buying my Model S I talked to an employee at Tesla's store and he said he was so concerned that he was buying the model without air suspension. I stuck with the air suspension and 9 years in there's no issues with it. There also was a team at the Rebelle...

Woohoo! Just got my first drive invite. It was hiding in my spam folder even though I get all the normal Rivian emails just fine. I am a non-LE res holder from Feb '21. Delivery window is Jul-Sep of this year, so this lines up well and (probably foolishly) gives me a little hope that I might...

You didn't happen to notice if any had the Ocean Coast interior, did you? Seems very unlikely from what I read, but no harm in asking. Thanks

If anyone traded in a vehicle with Rivian when they bought, how did you disclose any issues with your existing vehicle? I have a 2013 Model S I will likely trade in (at least get a quote for) and it has a few issues that I want to disclose for honesty's sake. I've never done an online trade in...

AH - now I see how you meant it. Thanks

Can you explain why you say the suspension is just so-so good? I am not sure what else you would want if it corners like you say and yet soaks up all the bumps. What's it getting wrong?

Wow! That's awesome. Thanks bd5400

Thanks for posting these shots! Any chance you could post a picture of the New Birds' Eye view. I'd love to see what it really will look like.

I actually think this was pure marketing from Ford - trying to capitalize (or at least look really good compared to Rivian). I have pre-orders in on both the R1T and Lightning and this was all I've really seen from Ford since I initially put my $100 down - except for credit card offers and...

Let's be fair. We shouldn't get them without the underbody shield. They weren't there before, they shouldn't be here now. Although it would be great if they offered them as a separate upgrade!

I haven't read all 32 pages (as I type this) of this thread, but am I the only one that isn't that impressed with the retraction letter? To me, it seemed like a standard "We really screwed the pooch, so we're undoing what we did." letter. It actually annoyed me a bit that it started off by not...

Apparently you and I have worked for a completely different set of bosses! In my world, incompetence rises! :D

I was sooooo close to changing my config last night to be a minimal config with 4 motors. Basically get what I absolutely wanted but give Rivian the least money I could. But I delayed since I was still undecided on wheels (have the 20 AT upgrade, thinking of moving to the 21s). Very glad I...

**This is along, rambling rant against the sh&**y stunt Rivian pulled. No great insights or thinking in this - feel free to just just skip over it. I just need to vent** TL;DR - they should have raised prices gradually over the years for pre-orders. They will lose money because of this. I...

Nope - check your configurator

Gonna sleep on it, but pretty sure they lost me too. Almost $18K increase - practically 20%. Real low life move by Rivian.
