So I did some digging on plans for making out to Normal for a plant tour when accepting delivery of the vehicle. There is an Amtrak route from Chicago Union Station to Normal IL that runs 5 times a day and only costs $20. It is also about the same amount of time as driving from Chicago to...

Just pulled the trigger on an R1T preorder (the site is having you pick between the R1T and the R1S as of right now) in hopes that my wife and I can do a factory tour and pick up in Normal! We are both engineers and she works in the automotive industry so it would be awesome for us! So excited...

Has anyone here seen the green interior in person? My wife likes the green interior and I really like the blue exterior but I'm afraid they will look horrendous together...

Sounds like fun! I'm in Birmingham and I might be up for it as well.

Sounds like things are really coming together!

Let us know how it goes! Are you talking about them wanting to see and drive the exact vehicle that they buy rather than like going to drive that model and then ordering one?

Assuming you're talking R1T here but I think they'll keep it below $100K. Maybe $95K for a fully decked out truck. I can't wait to see what options and packages they offer.

I think the "charging network" outline that they show at 1:43 in the video is somewhat miss leading. To get the truck from Columbia to Panama they had to take a boat. The line connecting the last charge point in Columbia and the first one in Panama goes straight through the Darien Gap. That...

@skyote Thank you for compiling and summarizing all of this info that has been posted over the last couple of days!

I notice that at 1:36 in the video you see some type of suction mounted device that appears (to me at least) to be llive-monitoring various data points from the truck. Also, the bezel of the instrument cluster screen in this particular truck is silver. In every other picture I've seen it it's...

New video just posted to the Rivian YouTube channel.

That is great to hear! Thanks for that info, you just made my day! I am so much more excited now!

Other than being mentioned in the Reuters report, has this been confirmed by any other sources? I found where Electrek contacted Rivian and received back... "our original listed prices represent a well-equipped vehicle. We’ll be releasing more details about pricing soon." This doesn't mention...

Have you checked out Clipper Creek chargers? They don't seem to be as big of a brand as some of the others but I've seen them several places around my city. I also spoke to the director of Alabama's Clean Fuels Coalition and he mentioned Clipper Creek and said that they were one of the best in...

I know you are mostly looking at comparing it to full size trucks but if you want to see it compared to a very similarly sized vehicle then the Jeep Gladiator is the closest thing I've found. Jeep Gladiator: overall length - 218” Width - 74” Height - 75-76” Wheelbase - 136.3” Bed - 5’ Torque -...

No. They've put to much time, testing, and investment into their current pack. Changing it now would be a huge risk. They would be essentially putting an untested, un proven technology into a product that has to come out strong at the start. I do think that they will have longer ranges than...

I often get frustrated with the lack of news and updates from Rivian. I really hope they start putting more info out soon since it looks like they are getting very close to production (compared to Tesla and Nicola) but I respect this strategy so much. I know they'll talk about things when once...

I love to mountain bike and plan to haul my bike mounted on the bed of the R1T. I don't know if anyone has said this but I want some kind of warning/notification that reminds me that I have a bike mounted on my truck before I pull into the garage.

Now I must decide between this and RJ Blue! Its a toss up but right now I favor the blue... this might grow me though. Edit: I just noticed this but it looks like the charging port is on the passenger's side. I though it was confirmed to be on the driver's of the vehicle. Is this just a...
