Like El Cap Granite with Forest Edge for contrast. Currently drive a Midnight Silver Tesla X which is close to the Granite. A complementary lighter warm interior color for the R1S could work well. Still feels like guess work when you cannot see the colors in natural light.
Make room for three. Riding in an EV with Rivian specs is a dream come true for me as an old climber Wind River/Teton rat with 4-Runner memories currently driving a Tesla. Pulls my worlds together.
Love your choices. Bet you will grill that western omelet to perfection just as the sun rises to bathe your Rivian it is sparkling rays. Yellow, on yellow, on yellow —glory!
Best joke I have seen so far on the forum today. I was driving up the Gros Ventre River in Jackson looking at all the elk hunters waiting in their pickups for the great migration to arrive and I imagined being in a Rivian. Coming......a dream, El Cap Grey.
Excellent thread and thanks for this critique. As already noted, to say that creating a Rivian takes lots of decisions, and that these vehicles are are capable and soon to be on the assembly line is restating the obvious. The note about protecting terrain from destruction by tank turns is...
Mid-size or large mid-size both work for me. However, I prefer calling them 3/4 size because seeing them up close it’s obvious they are smaller than full-size SUV’s in length and width and that is what I currently drive (Toyota Land Cruiser and previously a Sequoia). Better size for town...
Frustrated too! Silent week after silent week. How to stay positive? I think. Rivian is minimalist when it comes to marketing, smart when it comes to partners who invest, and brilliant for being willing to sell the “skateboard” to other companies. Ford and Amazon “demand pressure” on them...
Park City resident for 20 years. We ski, backpack in the Wind River range, hike, climb in Tetons, and enjoy the Moab, Bryce, and Zion desert beauty. 2019 a special year for the family — Tesla 3 and Land Cruiser. But there is nothing like the R1S. Went to the Atlanta Rivian show. Talked with...
When the electrician and R J both searched for them in the R1S , they could not find them, and they each made more than a cursory look. The electrician investigated the back seats as well. It’s the humor of it all that we enjoyed, a blue collar guy and the CEO, each breaking stride to...
A friend went with me to the Atlanta event. Looking carefully into the front and rear seats of the S-1 surprisingly he could see no cup-holders. “Where are they,” he said to himself. We then asked the Rivian staff member standing there to find them for us, if he could. He, the staffer, sat...
I enjoyed the Atlanta event, arriving a few minutes early and leaving after almost two hours of fun, viewing the S1 and T1 and talking with engineers, designers, one robot assembly line electrician, and R J himself. This sure beats pictures and videos for a realistic sense of what the vehicles...
For all of us who have pre-ordered the R1T, and for others interested, the discussion about electric pickups helps us make decisions as early as this summer. My preference for the R1T rests on its unique off-road capabilities that I do not think can be duplicated or surpassed by other companies...
