Looking forward to hearing how folks are able to integrate solar for their Rivian. Out at the ranch, we have a smaller solar setup that was built to power a small homestead, but it doesn’t get a ton of regular use today. It was originally built in the early 1990s and only been updated a few...

And you’re getting all of that frunk space in a truck. That has always been one of the compromises when owning a truck, you don’t often have the secure water-proof storage for things like luggage. I think I would use the frunk space way more in a truck than in a crossover like the MME or ID.4...

This was announced yesterday, and they haven’t said what terms and conditions will apply. I wouldn’t be surprised if you still have to pay the destination fee when rejecting the vehicle after 7 days. Do you get your deposit back? Time will tell. The good news is that there will be test drives...

Correct. This seems like the biggest "statement" of their intention to get all LE vehicles delivered in 2021. Plans can change if they run into problems during manufacturing, but this makes it seem pretty clear their plan is to get every LE delivered by the end of the year. Assuming you...

Interesting. The email says your guide will contact you before Thanksgiving for a non-LE vehicle?

Colorado seems like the obvious choice for the initial release of an adventure vehicle, and all the news we have already heard on the Rivian charging stations in Colorado. I would suggest everyone submits a Denver address. I can let you borrow mine if needed ;)

Reading between the lines, sounds like Rivian is going to try very hard to get all LE vehicles delivered by the end of the year or by early 2022

I honestly don’t think that the carabiner fob looks much larger than any other fob. Maybe a bit wider, but also a little less chunky than my Ford fobs. They have the fob laying on the qi-charger in one of the photos. Do we think the key charges wirelessly, rather than having to replace the...

I know way back at the Seattle event they showed off several different carabiner-style keys. I wasn’t there, so I don’t know why they showed off different designs or if Rivian said there would be multiple options to choose from. Rivian’s plans also could have changed from the event, which...

Lot of cool nuggets in here,, mostly what they have been sharing the last few weeks. At https://rivian.com/experience/charging is a zoomable map of the DCFC map they previously published.

Not to dump cold water on this hype train, but Rivian did not post anything on Earth Day in 2018, 2019, or 2020.

But @RforRivian posted in the other thread yesterday that CS said new information was being released today. I’m still holding out hope. Maybe it’s taking extra long to fit all that fat juicy new news on the website

For comparison, I was trying to look at the roll-out of information on the Ford Mach E. Obviously, Rivian can do things differently than their blue oval investor, but I thought it might be the only relevant datapoint of a US BEV launched during the pandemic. Others might have more info, but...

Looks like the website (the R1T and R1S pages) have changed (this morning?) but mostly just a reorganization of the same information and photos. Still wonder if they are rolling out these website and configurator changes in advance of some larger information drop today. Get the hype train...

This is just not how auto supply contracts typically work. Typically, a car company will issue an RFP to multiple part suppliers for a specific part. The part suppliers will each make competitive bids to supply the part over the model cycle (or at least the mid-model cycle). This means the...

Skip it and build your own camp kitchen for much less. I’m more interested what else they do with the gear tunnel’s shuttle system. I wouldn’t be surprised if they offered just a storage container that slides out of the gear tunnel like the camp kitchen.

A little hard to see, but in the configurator photo the metal inset in the wood paneling now appears to say "Adventurous Forever" instead of "Normal, Illinois." I can't recall if we've seen that before. The new floormats are interesting. I never understood why the Black Mountain interior...

Does not look like this is a "free" option based on the configurator. For my R1T LE, looks like a $1,800 upcharge . . .
