Does anyone see a LE FG FE with regular AT wheels?

Makes sense. I realize now that I have two related questions: (1) how much will color affect cabin temperature, and (2) how much will it affect chassis heat and the battery? If the car has to work to keep the battery cool on super hot days, I suspect it matters how hot the chassis gets. But I do...

It is a question of how much time and energy it will take to cool down to a comfortable temperature. Even though the car is electric, the energy is not free :-) If color makes a big impact on how much energy I'd be using to condition the car/cabin, I'd like to know. (I park every day in an...

Yes -- clear ceramic on the windshield made a huge difference for us on our previous car. I'd still really like to know what the actual temperature difference is between two different colors sitting in the sun. Can someone with an IR gun and access to two Rivian's do this? At the next Rivian...

Thanks - this is all really helpful. Will definitely get ceramic on the windows. We did that with our previous (black) car and it made a huge difference. Even if the cabin stays cool from the coating, I wonder if the battery will take a significant hit from a darker color leading to more body...

Hi all: I have a question. I'm choosing between Forest Green and Midnight Black, and I was wondering if anyone had any actual data about the difference either paint choice will have on how hot the cabin gets in the sun. I know in general that white is cooler than black, but my significant...

I just noticed something that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere... the interior/UI visuals show a range of 488 KM, which is more than 300 miles. I guess 300 miles is table stakes these days, but that's still good news about the EV90 and keeps it competitive with the R1S. The image looks like...

Are all of the guide contacts for R1S for those folks in the March/April group? Has anyone from the July/Sept group heard from a guide? (I ask because some people had guides months before their truck showed up.)

I would contribute!

Thanks, GaryL. I saw the same thing -- but you can't really see whether there are cars in the parking lot, can you?

This might be insane, but what else are these forums for... I just checked and the most recent satellite images with good-enough resolution for car-counting seem to be in the $1000 range. I'm not spending that kind of dough for an image to satisfy my curiosity. But I'd pay $5! If 200 of us...

Following up on this, Reddit user EvenYearGiants says to expect next summer *at the earliest* for R1S LE deliveries. (EvenYearGiants has my confidence. My first post on these forums--the reason for my handle--was a link to a Reddit thread where EvenYearGiants mentioned a friend at Rivian who...

Kanundrum: thanks so much for your reply and your efforts on the forum more generally; I've benefited from them. I just 'liked' your reply, but I do not actually like the content! I trust your judgment, but what explains your estimate? Hasn't the whole thing been moved back six months (first...

I ordered a Volvo Care xc90 to hold us over. Extremely impressed with the car, though I wish we'd been able to get the T8 plug in hybrid. The Volvo Care lease seems like a great deal if the lease is only 5-8 months. Much less a great deal if we have to ride out the full 24 months... So, can I...

This makes me worried:
