  1. Tesla to Rivian: Any Regrets?

    Thanks for this -- appreciate the excellent insight and feedback. If your significant other asked you right now to make a run to the grocery store for a quick item and both your Model 3 and R1T are in the driveway, which one would you take and why?
  2. Tesla to Rivian: Any Regrets?

    I just signed the PBA on my R1T order this week and will be giving up my Model 3 to make it happen. Please don't flame me, but I'm curious if anyone has made the change to an R1T and had any regrets? I ask because my Model 3 does so many things well and I have some concerns that I might really...
  3. Ask us Rivian R1T owners ANYTHING [AMA]!

    I just signed the PBA on my R1T order this week and will be giving up my Model 3 to make it happen. Please don't flame me, but I'm curious if anyone has made the change to an R1T and had any regrets? I ask because my Model 3 does so many things well and I have some concerns that I might really...
  4. Struggling with wheel choice

    I think the A/T 20" Darks are the best wheels. In my opinion, they make every color rivian look better. I had 21" wheels in my configuration right up until yesterday when I had to confirm it for my guide. After looking at images side by side comparing the 20 and 21, I made the switch to the...
  5. May/June Deliveries Thread

    Ordered Nov 2021: Adventure Package, Glacier White, Black Mountain, non-off-road package, Dark 20" A/T, large battery. I live in Cali, but 250 miles from the nearest service center, so I have no idea why I got the call/email.
  6. May/June Deliveries Thread

    I was contacted by a Rivian Guide last week and today I confirmed my order and signed my PBA. I'm stunned, because I'm not even a Launch Edition order holder and just placed my order less than six months ago. The Guide actually said she could get me a truck from their inventory of Launch Edition...
  7. Ocean coast interior after extended mule use

    Started off with OC (because I hate dark interiors), but after seeing both in person, I switched to BM. The undertones in OC don't go together in my opinion and it makes the car look "off" in person. The seats have a cool blue undertone that comes through and the wood has a warm pinkish hue, so...
  8. SIAP: Sleep Mode

    I did a search of the forum but couldn't find a definitive answer to this question: Has Rivian said anything about (eventually) having a climate-controlled sleep mode in the vehicles? I'm referencing what Tesla calls Camp Mode, which allows you to use the climate control overnight for sleeping...
  9. Rivian performance claim vs reality, for the 0-100mph.

    That's a great point that I hadn't considered. That could very well have been what I was feeling.
  10. Rivian performance claim vs reality, for the 0-100mph.

    Just did a First Mile test drive yesterday. To me it feels like there's some strange throttle mapping going on. For instance, to me 0-60 for the first 30 felt sluggish (in relative terms) and then you can feel the truck pull exponentially harder from 30-60. It almost feels like a turbo...
  11. Can we be honest with each other - what benefit does a Rivian have over upcoming EVs?

    My reasons are pretty simple. I love my Model 3, but one of my priorities is interior quality, fit and finish -- as well as a smooth and quiet ride. Being electric, the driving dynamics of the 3 are awesome, but the interior fit and finish is not where Tesla invested. I want a more luxurious...
  12. Solar charging kit in the works for Rivian

    Is your plan to do any car camping in the R1S? Still debating between the T and the S, and I really like that idea that an S can provide climate-controlled sleeping quarters.
  13. Even more observations from Rivian test drive / First Mile

    I've noticed in some pictures the wood in Ocean Coast can look a little odd (sort of a pink-ish tone) against the white gray. Curious if you noticed that in person? I'm also curious what color you would describe Ocean Coast as in person? From pictures it's hard to tell if it looks gray, white...
  14. Even more observations from Rivian test drive / First Mile

    What was your impression of the different interior colors? I'm stuck between Ocean and Forest.
  15. Deciding between R1T and R1S

    One of the things I think about with the S is how nice it would be to just throw a blow-up mattress in the back and have climate controlled sleeping quarters. That said, I'm not sure how much I'd actually use that. Does anyone know if the rear seats in the T fold down flat? Wonder how...
  16. Deciding between R1T and R1S

    Tesla owner and longtime Rivian lurker here -- and very excited to have finally placed my preorder on a R1T yesterday. I have always wanted an electric truck, but I find myself increasingly infatuated with the look of the R1S, so much so that I'm torn between the two. I don't necessarily need...
