Surely Vegas betting odds -- if they existed for this -- would say you would win. I'm throwing a hail mary to the internet winds in the hope that Rivian is listening: keep some physical buttons! People will always want to run windshield wipers, turn on heat when it's cold or turn on AC when...

Thanks for the real-life comparison. Thinking about it in terms of the minimum possible height makes the 28" more reasonable (although I still am a little surprised). I wonder what the typical height is for the majority of the width of the 3rd row seats.

One of the things I'm trying to understand is the minimum height of 28" with the 3rd-row seats folded down. That seems short for a full-size SUV. From pictures taken at the San Francisco event (I think), one can see the cargo space with the 3rd row seats folded, and that height seems more than...

I thought I would start a complementary thread to the excellent “What We Know - Collecting Information Directly From Rivian” maintained by Hexijen. In particular, I thought it would be helpful to track questions for which we don’t have answers. To manage the scope of “what we don’t know”, some...

@Gshenderson and @manitou202 -- spectacular feedback, thank you! Looking forward to comparing notes on actual vehicle performance!

Another CO member here. This is excellent info. I have never owned an EV, and have several questions related to CO effects on EVs: 1. effect of cold on range for driving, and parked outside in the cold for long (>12 hrs) periods. In other threads I've seen discussions about the effect of...

Fantastic idea for a thread, thanks @RivianXpress ! We take road trips across the mountain west, and one of my biggest concerns with the R1S is the inability to get to the places we want to go because of lack of charging. The R1S was never going to have the max battery, now it might get...

Has anyone heard hints about the relative timing of when we confirm our order with Rivian -- and by that I mean turn our pre-order into an official vehicle purchase -- relative to the announcement of the longer-range R1S 7-seater? I was just assuming they wouldn't announce details of the...

For Colorado (CO) folks, or those interested in visiting CO in their Rivians, the state is investing in a charging infrastructure. There are two plans. One is Charge Ahead Colorado, a grant-based program, to which any organization is allowed to apply. In email discussions with one of the...

That is fantastic, thank you! I do like the Black Mountain with the lightest wood trim.

Bingo. One particular R1T option that doesn't exist for the R1S bugs me the most. Wasn't the R1S supposed to come with a full-size spare? I can't remember where, though I seem to recall one or more people from Rivian saying that of course their vehicles would have full-size spares, because...

Me too! The combination that would totally pop, as the vernacular goes (I think), is the black mountain interior upholstery colors -- which appear to be almost exclusively black and very dark shades of gray -- with the lightest-color wood trim from the Ocean Beach palette. The Ocean Beach...

A related piece of feedback - the dark wheels look really slick, and it's a bummer they are not *currently* an option for the Launch Edition R1S. Boy, wouldn't it be great it if those dark wheels are available for the Launch Edition R1S too. Hint, hint. Also, please stop with the changing...

OK, I see I clicked the Adventure option, not the Launch Edition option. With Launch Edition option selected, the 20" wheels are included in the price. So that's good.

I am working on the Launch edition configuration and noticed that there is an upcharge for going with the 20" wheels. But on the regular website the 20" wheels are supposed to be included in the Launch Edition price. See picture with this post, last bullet under the Launch Edition. Anyone...

Check out the thread discussing the Rivian-specific Pirelli tires, the press release has a general-public-style description that doesn't answer your questions directly but provides some clues...

@Laurent, @azbill, @skyote - thanks for the feedback, that's really helpful. In the event I get a second set of wheels/tires I have a better sense of what to expect. I read the description of the Rivian-specific Pirelli tires, and saw this for the all terrains: "The Scorpion All Terrain Plus...

I might have missed warranty information in the hoopla surrounding the new website and configurator announcement, but after reading through the updated webpage I didn't see anything about a warranty. Like many others, I sure hope there are test drives available before finally committing to a...

With my current car it is essential to have snow tires, so in the late fall I swap out "all-season" to snow tires and in the late spring I do the reverse. To keep things simple and cheap I bought a second pair of basic (and heavy) steel wheels for my snow tires. The 20" wheel option for the...

@electruck - thanks for the feedback, and for the link to the neato glass. If this is, in fact, the glass used by Rivian, then it even seems to have an insulating layer of gas like double-paned windows in a house. Good fodder for a question to Rivian! Will have to wait until Monday to ask...
