This forum has done an awesome job of sharing every real life photo and video of a Rivian that can be found on the internet but I wanted to consolidate some of this information. Hopefully the photos below can give a better idea than the configurator of what to expect when we finally get to see...
Sorry, can't give just one...
The things that make the R1T unique.
Flash light in the driver's side door
Gear tunnel and it's accessories
Modern yet outdoorsy looking interior
Tank turn
Stadium lights and front/rear running lights
The performance
Acceleration
4 Independent motors
Adjustable...
I am very disappointed by how every thread on this forum for the past few weeks has seemed devolve into non-helpful banter and whining about increasingly pointless details. It seems that no matter how much information Rivian provides, people here always want more. I haven't been on this forum...
I just had an awesome (almost 30 minute) phone conversation with CS and I brought this up. They said that this information was incorrect. The screen behind the steering wheel is NOT in fact a touch screen. I don't consider this a huge loss because it seemed like it would be hard to access...
As a very pale person that uses at least 70 SPF sunscreen anytime I plan on being outside for more than 30 min I am most excited about 96,173 SPF equivalent glass roof!
Jokes aside, I am very pleased by this update. There was a lot of information here that I didn't know.
Here are the little...
The "Ignore" function of the forum is a wonderful thing. For those of you that don't want the negative energy and trolling comments from the person who is being inflammatory in this thread then I'd suggest you try it out... I have been using it for a while. You won't even be able to see when...

ADVENTURES BEGINNING SOON
Updates and news as we prepare for Guide introductions.

I was contacted by a sales rep via text from my local Ford dealer the morning after I made my reservation. He was nice but not at all knowledgeable about the Lightning. I asked if he knew if the 80 amp charger was included with the truck or if it had to be bought separate. He did not know the...
It dawned on me the other day that Rivian really missed the mark with this video. The audio could have been much better... So I pieced this together!
? Sound On ?
So right, and I hope that everyone on this forum realizes this. Even if they delayed launch by a few weeks I really don't want this forum to turn into a toxic place where people just complain about how Rivian isn't doing things fast enough. If I start seeing posts about how someone sold their...
That was what I was told. Maybe the plans changed or the different sections under the new Experience page were the "few items". Either way I was very disappointed and will not be getting my hopes up for another Thursday update.
I vote we start calling these weekly updates and info releases...
I just chatted with CS and got a few tidbits that people who have configured the Explore package might be interested in.
Yellow calipers will be included on the explore package. (I was expecting this but wanted to confirm)
The explore package is planned to be on some of vehicles at upcoming...
When we get info on which 40 states are covered I will update the original post with the list. I have already emailed them and requested this information. I really don't see this post being useful until we know which states it is available in.
Edit: I received an automated response saying that...

Well, Musk had the Space X astronauts taken to there ride in a Model X. It only makes since that Bezos would have Rivian on-site for Blue Origin! I'm pretty sure a Model X would not do too well in the desert.
A little more on charging, service and warranties
We’ve received a lot of great feedback and questions over the past few weeks as we’ve been releasing information on charging, service and warranties. We wanted to share answers to some of the more common questions that came in.

I did most of it this weekend while watching March Madness. I'd probably guess around 4 hours total (it would've gone faster but I did everything on my phone). I tried to start with the most believe stuff and let it get weirder from there. I'm just glad (and surprised) to see that so many people...
