  1. Concerned with reliability of this new startup?

    I don’t have any long term experience with OEM ride height air springs…. The setup on my Mercedes’ GLE43 (now 4.5 yrs old) has so far worked as designed, although it’s a much simpler system I believe than the Rivian. I know that previously over many years..a couple decades..that the MB...
  2. R1T Towing Range Sneak Peek — 44 Miles of Predicted Range with 37% Battery Remaining

    Same experience over this last summer...my first with any regular towing. Towing at least a 5500 lb conventional, boxy, 8’ wide camping trailer with our GLE43 (twin turbo, 362 hp, 384 ft-lb low rpm) I also noticed a substantial difference at 65 mph vs. staying close to 60. Vast majority of our...
  3. Max Pack holders: tell me your thoughts

    Same, Max Pack is the only one that works for me. Looking very, very doubtful I end up with an R1T anytime soon. Well into 2023 is too late. https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/january-2022-delivery-estimate-removed.2889/post-79336
  4. January 2022 Delivery Estimate Removed

    Pretty much agree with you..and with suspicions raised by others of probable QC and engineering issues. At this point, with this now ā€˜official’ and additional delay..it’s highly doubtful it’s just ā€˜supply chain shortages’. When I consider my late date preorders (1 of each), my need for a Max...
  5. BLACK MOUNTAIN Rivian Interior Photos

    EXACTLY!! Come on Rivian!! Make that an option s00n!! (I’m assuming the wood pieces go in separately by hand at some point in factory assembly..unless they are pre-assembled from a supplier?).

    Yep. First I’ve seen that anywhere about the Camp Kitchen..I guess another supply chain issue… For their planned trip..I too hope they keep a log/simple spreadsheet showing us some charging data, SOC, range of each leg, maybe basic weather info, more flat or hilly roads, maybe elevation diffs...
  7. Tire Sizes

    In agreement with you..and I’m beginning to come around to that idea, but eventually with 2 sets of the Rivian 20ā€ rims. A few things: - as of today I see the noted Verde AS 275/60R20 is listed as ā€˜Special/Closeout’ on TireRack, I hope this size isn’t going out of production… - I see it...
  8. My observations from Sonoma Rivian test drive event

    Re. Towing: do you know or did you ask if the automatic towing mode can then be manually changed back to another mode with the trailer still hitched? (I have a few cases where the trailer has enough clearance..but I need to raise the suspension on the tow vehicle..so would like ability to...
  9. Official: Rivian IPO priced at $78 per share (@ $77 billion valuation)!

    Yes exactly. Just got off phone with MS rep. He confirmed my account will show a negative balance for the shares tomorrow..after the 7am EST DSP closing time. Any time after that I can simply transfer funds from my externally linked account, and it will be finished.
  10. Towing -- real life

    I’m using these. Takes like 20 seconds to remove both, they fold up right along with the car mirror when I lock the car. They stick out far enough since the trailer is wider than the car, allows me to see quite well to the rear on both sides. I leave them on the car if we are just stopping...
  11. Real Rivian Photos & Videos

    I thought so too.. But then enlarged the video, ran it manually, and I can see the soft rubber bumper ā€˜smoosh’, collapse up against the entire tailgate and apparently seal well enough. The angle used to make the video seems to add extra shade, dark space on the near end.
  12. Non-OEM alternative wheels/tire options

    I had the same basic questions today via chat with TR. I have been able to manually find/confirm the 21ā€ and 22ā€ Rivian tires using tire size selector. However the TR rep did some kind of search..that I haven’t duplicated yet..that narrows down to the 3 Rivian sizes as of today. The link he...
  13. Non-OEM alternative wheels/tire options

    Here we are. Nothing specific, no real answer. Again. ā€œThanks for reaching out to ask about this! I know you will certainly not be the only one who wants to swap between sets of wheels, tires as they progress through the seasons. I am not presently aware of a specific process for letting the...
  14. Non-OEM alternative wheels/tire options

    I just sent this same question to CS yesterday, asked them will I be able to tell the vehicle / dial in which size wheelset I am using. I change at least twice a year for snowtires on and off. Plus maybe more often with this truck as I will be using it to tow a fair amount in the warmer...
  15. My Q&A with Rivian reps at Venice Hub

    Off Line Nav: I thought..maybe.. I read somewhere that while still online with cellular, that the system anticipates losing connectivity, and then downloads mapping, routing data for that area/region. Or..not?
  16. Rivian Stories: Top Discoveries & news from Rivian factory tour

    My 2-cent guess for end of year..about 9488 R1 vehicles (both flavors) off the line by end of December. About 2600 for Oct (prob high), 3444 for Nov (maybe close considering weather, unforeseen supplier issues, some changeover slowdown for R1S, etc), and maybe another 3444 for December (maybe a...

    Maybe, hopefully Weathertech is working with them on items like this.
  18. Watch the R1T tonneau cover roll up automatically (with water on top)

    This is exactly what I asked about and questioned maybe 2 or 3 months ago. Never received good info or a confirmation of how I can open/service/clean that area myself. It seems eventually dust, pollen, bird mess, pine needles will add up to a real mess down there - trapping moisture and worse...
  19. Watch the R1T tonneau cover roll up automatically (with water on top)

    And I’m also wondering how this will work with fresh wet snow on it..that sits overnight..and is basically frozen the next AM.
