  1. Repairs and warranty work where?

    As far as I know nothing official has been announced. The ideas "floating" around are maybe a partnership with Cox or Ford for service centers or they may role out a service where they come to you. It's a big question that will have to answered before the cars start rolling off the assembly line.
  2. What Will you do when you Take Delivery?

    That's cool.. may I ask when you ordered... I am curious when emails will role out to others.
  3. What we might see in that configurator: Options, Launch Edition, etc...

    I think the most recent kind of official statement was sometime "summer 2020". I imagine the shutdown does not need to make this date slip, however, I wonder if Rivian will delay the launch of the configuration tool purely due to the fact that the delivery date is definitely slipping into...
  4. Let's talk about charging on long distance travel?

    I wanted to take a moment to thank you all for the continued discussion... As a person completely new to BEV's I am learning a bunch about what to look for and how to understand the different aspects to consider when talking about vehicle range and charge rates..... When doing long distance...
  5. Rivian colors samples from recent video

    yes - I like it.... I think it's probably too late but I wish the rear windows were factory tinted... I'm not a huge fan of window tint film...
  6. Rivian colors samples from recent video

    My daughter starts at UT in the fall.... Hook'em
  7. What Will you do when you Take Delivery?

    For what it's worth... Route 66 goes through Normal, IL. I am probably just going to make my way back to Austin but I will certainly drive some of Route 66 instead of the interstates working my way back home. Being that I'm late to the party I figure I have plenty of time to figure out a...
  8. Rivian colors samples from recent video

    I am holding out hope for a Charcoal/Gun Metal Grey.... But it there is a launch edition color I would certainly consider it..
  9. Rivian To Decline $1 Million Grant From Normal

    Nice article... I especially like the part where they discuss workers returning to the plant on Monday! It's a small step towards re-opening... but I also want them all to stay safe... don't rush it... but am looking forward to the build out resuming safely!
  10. When Did You Pre-Order Your Rivian?

    I realize I'm late to the game.... but I finally put in an order today. I've spent the last 3 weeks reading as much as I could and I know they are now a bit behind schedule. Truth is I will be happy if I get the SUV around the end of 2021 or even early to mid 2022... Now I just need to hope...
  11. Campers and Roof Rack Tents

    I would think within "reason" it should be self leveling. My 2000 LX470 had self leveling front/back (not left/right)
  12. Campers and Roof Rack Tents

    I guess it really just depends on what people are going to do with the vehicle. So I am R1S all the way..... however, I have always been an SUV type. I absolutely loved my LX470 but the gas mileage was abysmal. While the R1T has some super cool features there is one feature I am, hoping for...
  13. Swapping out battery packs

    First - I realize that the battery pack is one of the most expensive parts of the car (if not the single most expensive part/group of parts). Things "I think" we already know: Rivian does not intend to support upgrades from smaller battery packs to larger battery pack. The battery packs are...
  14. Rough Calculation of Rivian Orders, Delivery Times

    Most of your logic makes sense to me, however, I'm afraid that deliveries are going to slip further than you have assumed. Granted I have only been following Rivian for a few weeks, it sure seems like they are going to slip well into Q2 or maybe even Q3 of 2021 for initial deliveries. My...
  15. Let's talk about charging on long distance travel?

    Thanks - This all makes sense to me. I did notice the relatively high price for on the road charging. It's another reason I was thinking of chargers basically everywhere. Hoping for a little saturation at some point where the price for non Tesla owners comes down to a more reasonable level. I...
  16. My first disappointment - cup holders (maybe)

    Thanks for your thoughts on this guys... I had pop out cup holders similar to this for the rear seat passengers on my LX470 and I didn't like them at all. Mainly because they weren't deep enough to hold a 20oz bottle upright for any length of time. Of course I will withhold judgement on these...
  17. My first disappointment - cup holders (maybe)

    So I have been scouring the internet looking for decent pictures of the interior. I finally came across this one that shows the pop out cupholders for the front passengers. I have to assume (at this point) that this is a real picture and not a mock up. I would much prefer a fixed position cup...
  18. Rivian R1S vs. New Land Rover Defender 110

    I believe Max Speed of The R1S is 125. I know I saw that in a video with the CEO, need to go back and find it.
