I'd love to see a batch include mine. Oct-Dec window. Pretty common spec - GW/BM/20s, relatively close to Orlando service center. I saw one in my exact build at the Orlando SC in photos a few weeks ago, still anxiously awaiting the initial guide contact. Hopefully all of you 2018 and 2019...
Congratulations! I'm very happy for you. That's a great looking truck. You shouldn't feel bad to take yours before others, sometimes you have to be lucky and good. Rivian, if you're reading this, I'll be happy to take delivery this weekend of the R1S at the Orlando SC that matches my exact...
Yes, please keep all these photos coming. The first person to spot a customer R1S with FE or OC wins a prize. Is anyone else with a Oct-Dec window logging in to Rivian.com every day to see if you have a guide assigned yet? Anyone else without guide contact already order two sets of crossbars...
Chad, congrats and good luck with the delivery! I assume you changed your config to black interior? Anxiously awaiting my guide contact up here in Jax...
I like it. I was in camp OC, then switched to black during all the OC delay talks earlier this year. I'd take forest or ocean in a heartbeat, but I'm OK enough with the black to stick with it if I can get my truck this year and take the $7500 tax credit now rather than wait a year... My...
interesting. I don't know if I'd rather just have the cargo room, and then get something like this and a full size spare when I'm adventuring further than my local grocery store:

This looks like the kind of iterative improvement that will take advantage of the tech in these vehicles. Like a real-world tank turn. I'd still like a full-spin tank turn mode for fun off road, but small improvements like this will make these vehicles even better as the software matures.
Thanks all for sharing. I’ve got the 4 bike Kuat nv with the Pivot v2, R1S is supposed to be here by December so I’ll fit and post picks once I have it. This is a super heavy setup with my family’s 4 ebikes, over the tongue weight recommendation on the Jeep and will be close on the R1S. Really...
I agree with you about the charging advantage approaching zero in the next few years - great point. I'm sure we'll see more and more Rivian charging stations coming over the next year (including one just south of me in Daytona Beach) and before long between Rivian and these other providers...
by the way, this is way over the recommended vertical weight on the hitch receiver. If anyone ever does this be super careful. Not recommended for road use.
yeah, I'm already pushing the limit with ebikes and this massive bike rack. I'll try it out and take some pics, and if all goes well I'll order the Pivot and report back on how it does.
Thanks for sharing, I always appreciate your content. I am looking at the Kuat pivot. I just bought Kuat NV base 2.0 + 2 bike add on, total 4-bike carrier. I ordered through REI during Memorial Day sale. My 4 e-bikes for family of 4 just about max out the weight rating of the carrier, and...
Great to see the chat team even talking about R1S drives. I certainly won't hold my breath, but I'd jump at a chance to test drive an R1S, as I know we all would.
Great thoughts Carter - thanks for sharing. You mentioned that Driver+ did well in traffic - have you tried it in stop and go traffic yet? Tesla does a such a great job with that (other than the occasional slightly too-jerky start or stop), I'm wondering if Rivian's Driver+ works well in...
