Hi all - Just wanted to post this wrap video of our drive over Rollins Pass (near Winter Park, CO) this weekend. This was organized by the Rocky Mountain Rivian Club. Good times. We had 11 R1Ts! We did have a sidewall puncture at pretty much the highest point of the drive, but thanks to the Pro...

For anyone in the greater Denver Area (or anyone who would like to trek over to join us!), RMRC is organizing a drive event next Saturday on Aug 6th leaving from the Winter Park Ski Resort parking lot. As of now, we already have about 6 R1Ts confirmed, so could be a big group. It's a mellow-ish...

So, I've been on a hunt for a good trailer solution for a family. This one came to my attention and it is actually pretty sweet. Not cheap (at $65k) but the concept of electrification is interesting. The trailer carries 12kWh of juice (when fully charged) and can offload that to the truck at...

Hi all - Here are a couple of interesting interviews from the Salida event. I interviewed Trent Warnke - the Senior Director of Energy and Charging at Rivian - who talked about how the site came to be and some of Rivian's perspective on the network and what it means. He also tells me the...

Heya Rivian fans! So, a couple of days ago my very own Rocky the Rivian got the chance to beat the pants off of the Lightning in a drag race! Andre at TFL Truck reached out and challenged me to a dual, except that he drove it himself. :) They also let me use the track for a while and do my...

Hey all - just a quick report on a camping trip from over the weekend. We went to a campground near Aspen, CO called Difficult Campground (https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/231880) and stayed for 3 nights. We had some friends along, and we ate in town a few times, so the food prep...

Overland Expo was a boon for overloading ideas. No one had anything specific for the R1T (well, except Rivian and Snow Peak), but there were Rivian-related companies there, like the ProEagle Jacks, which Rivian uses for their service trucks. Here are my favorite ideas from the show:

It's short but hopefully useful for people who haven't seen the Camp Kitchen walkthrough. Not sure if it's worth the 5k (ugh, who am I kidding?), but it is very cool.

Here's an idea from Overland Expo West that I thought you all might appreciate (lots more to come!). Jarom shows off his custom kitchen in the bed, complete with water heater and slide-out fridge. Nice thing is that it's non-destructive, meaning that it just sits in the bed:

Finally met this one. I think it's my favorite color.

Hi fellow Rivianeers - I put together this video survey of all the colors. I had all but one until a week ago when I finally met the Limestone. I tried to make several comparisons for anyone who is still wondering how the colors look next to each other. The video walks through each of the colors...

oh man they are beautiful. The guys even let me peek inside to get a closeup of the Forest Edge:

Hey Rivianeers! If you're in the Denver area, please join us this Saturday 11am-1pm for a geek-tastic Spring get together with some Rivian owners, reservation holders, and fans. It will be at the New Terrain Brewing Company in Golden, CO on the north end of Denver. No agenda, just an inaugural...

Got a chance to film the Out of Spec crew pulling out the frunk tub. So, I identified some of the main parts. There were a few small things that the crew couldn't identify but I think I got the big ones..

After a long wait, here she is! Anyone in the Denver area - reach out and lets drive!

Hi all, it seems like there is a lot of movement lately. Last week there were 21 R1Ts in the lot (including the service and employee vehicles). Yesterday, that number ballooned to 44! And, we were told, that all of those 44 are for pre-order customers. It was a small event (the Rivian folks told...

Met up with a fellow Rivian fan here in Denver today and we stopped by the Denver Service Center to see if the R1Ts were home. They were! We noticed an interesting movement inside the small grill below the trunk that I hadn't seen before. Looks like there is a moving louver system to keep the...

Hey all - hope you're having a great new year! Maybe a few days overdue (thank you COVID and kid duty!), but here is my year-end picks of my favorite videos of last year (and a bit). Thanks to all of YOU for building this amazing community.

Nice article quoting a couple of the folks in the Rivian community: https://nypost.com/2022/01/01/meet-the-next-teslas-lucid-rivian-are-the-future/?utm_source=flipboard&utm_medium=syndicated&utm_campaign=partnerfeed

Just measuring out specs for a new garage I'm building to hold the R1T (gotta give it a real home!). I see on the Rivian web site the specs that list the height in various ways (below). But can't find anywhere that shows a measurement WITH the rack on the rooftop. Anyone know, or can make an...
