This is exactly what the Portland, OR SC is. Vehicles are delivered from the factory to vacant lot in the in the industrial district, which acts as a staging area. Vehicles are driven by runners back and forth from there to nondescript old building 5 minutes away where all the PDI and repair...

Follow up after having alignment done by a motorsport shop that specializes in alignments, corner balancing, etc. They spent quite a bit of time on mine, partly because they'd never done a Rivian, partly because they didn't really have any factory specs to go by and partly because some panel...

Took delivery of my R1T (on 22s) in late Feb, VIN 18xxx, and it was slightly out of alignment. Steering wheel is just tad off when traveling straight, and letting go the truck will pull to the right. Pretty much exactly as others have experienced. Not that big a deal, but I’m OCD *and* know...

Hah ... Thanks. It's nothing special, in the grand scheme, but we love it. Construction began in 2020 and it was completed in late 2021. We back to the National Forest, with myriad mtb (and hiking) trails right in our back yard. The house has over 1000 sq ft of outdoor living space, a couple...

So far they're great. Definitely road-biased all terrains, but not sport/road/efficiency-biased like the OE Pirellis. Negligible change in cabin noise (i.e., road noise). Don't have a baseline for range/efficiency compared to OE tires, so don't know if or what the hit is with the Contis. Very...

Couldn't imagine what it must be without. My Raptor has full pano roof, and I keep the sun shade (fully opaque) closed most of the time because the sun is too intense with only the tinted glass. So far, with added tint, the R1T's roof has been fine. (I live in Central Oregon, which is high...

I like both LE Green and Forest Green, and had the latter in my configurator toward then end. But I have a green car already, didn't need two green vehicles, and it feels like every R1T I see locally is Forest (or Limestone) ... so El Cap is a bit less common. Deliver day. Drove the RS5 180...

Here are a couple snaps of the full truck with 22" TerrainContact A/Ts. I'll get some more soon that better showcase the tires. In the meantime, since my initial post on the tire swap only had closeups ... hopefully these help show the bigger picture (no pun intended)

$349 was just for shipping ($849 for the running boards themselves). Are you seeing $800 for shipping on top of the cost of the boards?

A set of 35x12.5 BFG KO2s from my Raptor

Made a collage from my Order Lookbook (for Instagram Stories) when my configuration became official back in Nov 2020. I recently pulled those images from my archive, to include in my “delivery/journal” post, and noticed the audio system was listed as “Rivian Elevation 360”. Again, this was three...

I went to order the running boards and shipping was nearly half as much as the cost of the boards ($349). Is that correct? I’ve had tons of heavy truck/off-road/adventure gear and never paid that much for freight, let alone 40% of the cost of a product. Would buy in a second if not for that.

Nice trip summary. I’ll be going Bend to Temecula in May. I drive around 15k miles a year up and down the west (daughter is a competitive equestrian), and have logged close to 80k in my Gen 2 Raptor ... which eats highway miles like they’re nothing. This will be my first EV road trip experiment...

Traveling for the next few days, then I'll have time for photos. :camera: I'm sure the factory sport "Elect" all seasons would be fine on forest roads and well traveled dirt trails. Even so, the TerrainContacts give more confidence in those conditions, as well as wet/muddy situations. I've also...

Installed Continental TerrainContact A/T tires on the 22s for now. As noted in my initial post, I plan on building a set of forged 20s and wrap them in proper all-terrains, then put winters on the 22s. In the meantime, I couldn't stand the thought of using the OE Pirelli Sport Zeros for anything...

First ever DCFC charging experience -- Rivian or otherwise. I had a 225 mile drive home from collecting my R1T, with 254 miles of stated range on the GOM and estimated 20-ish miles upon arrival per the nav. So I stopped at this ChargePoint 62.5 kWH charger and topped up before heading across a...

Delivery day snaps. I had about an hour with the truck before dropping it off for paint correction, PPF, ceramic coating and window tint ... wouldn't see it for another 30 days due to travel schedule.

Figured I'd journal my R1T here on the forums, even if I'll no doubt fall behind at times. I do actively upload photos/stories on Instagram (@blinker.fluid) though, along with my other vehicles ... so follow along there as well. I liked @WattTruckMatt 's journal format, so I'll use a variation...

Late to the party, and have read all 17 pages to this point. Crazy how random the inclusion or exclusion of the 12V sockets is based on VINs and even build dates. Picked up my R1T late Feb, 01/23 build, VIN 185xx and mine has both frunk and under dash sockets. I’ve not checked power to the frunk...

I assume they mean certification of a 12V socket related part sourced from a different supplier which would allow them to resume installing 12V sockets, and that they discontinued them because the supplier they were using either couldn’t meet demand or was having issues which held up Rivian...
