Step 8 (scheduling delivery) is still locked as they are checking/prepping the truck. Rest assured I will get pics once I have her. I will use my Sony A1 and will carefully white balance to get accurate representations of color.
Happy to, though I'm not sure Golden is big enough for 2 Forest Green R1Ts. ?
I completed the rest of the first 7 steps today, but scheduling delivery was still locked. Reached out to my guide and he said the truck's in Denver, so likely was inside getting prepped when I went to the service...
I just got back from the Service Center. Was hoping to see my truck but it wasn't there yet. What I did see was over 40 R1T outside, and approx 10 more inside. No R1S that I could see. I saw all exterior colors, except Compass Yellow, and all wheels seemed to be represented. There was even...
VIN assigned this morning and started the 8 steps. My guide told me the truck in en route to Denver. No delivery date set yet. Hopefully I'll know tomorrow.
We Designed the Perfect Electric Adventure Vehicle - Outside Online
Written by someone who appears to have never driven an EV for any length of time, and has little knowledge of the losses in a mechanical drive train. I normally like the writers at Outside, but this one has a clear bias...
Talked to my guide today and he has a spreadsheet of the vehicles ready to go there in Normal.
There were some with the underbody shield and either the 21 or 22" wheels. Not sure of the sense in that, when they have my config (Mar/Apr window) but without the shield (which I definitely want)...
The Rivian has jump start wires near the trailer hitch. See pg 13 of the Tow Operator Guide at https://f.hubspotusercontent10.net/hubfs/2932510/Rivian_tow-operator-guide-en-us-20210923.pdf
I'd be surprised if switching the wood on OC would speed things up at this point. Unless the wood is stained in-house, they'd need to have enough of the FE wood on hand to also cover the OC, or they'd need to order it and receive it super quickly. Then there's the issue of sub-assemblies...
Sent my guide a text message a half hour ago figuring he'd see it in the morning. To my surprise he responded in minutes and we've had a running conversation. He'd given me a heads up last Monday that there were murmurs that they were prioritizing BM and FE over OC. He again asked me at that...
You could use something like this web site Free Picture Stencil Maker (rapidresizer.com) to get a result like this. Took a few seconds and with a few minutes in an image editor you could clean it up nicely.
That's my current config. After seeing this pic earlier I sent my guide a text asking if this was my truck. I was kidding, but he responded anyway. Said that one is too early in production to have a VIN.
I was not a fan of FG until I saw it in person. In the sunlight it's is absolutely...
