My first drive was on 22s. I was impressed with their street handling. My current configuration, though, is for the 20s as they are forged. I'll probably pickup a set of forged 22s for most of my driving and use the 20s for winter and any more serious offroading. Another option would be to...

Also filled out the WeatherTech request form for the R1T. I have the Rivian mats in my current configuration. Hopefully there will be WeatherTech mats in the wild so I can decide which option to pursue.

Not the greatest reviews on Tirerack for the 22" Pirelli P Zero. Don't know if changes in the EV version would address some of the concerns.

This needs to be user selectable. This will not work well for those of us who run summer / winter tires of different sizes. User configurable on Tesla S.

To an earlier question, the Binding Contract to Purchase applies to all of your outstanding orders. If you have more than one, it states as follows: __________________ "RIVIAN BINDING CONTRACT TO PURCHASE We recognize you have multiple vehicle orders. By clicking “I Agree,” you will apply the...

If you're looking at a 2023 delivery, and the interpretation that the credit applies in 2022 is correct, you may want to do an extension to file your 2022 taxes to avoid the need to file an amended return.

Great information and suggestions. I sent my letter earlier today.

I'd pay for a hard copy owner's manual, or ideally a shorter "emergency version" (tire changing, towing, etc.) to leave in the truck. Alternatively, you can download a copy to your phone or print a copy of key pages and leave it in the truck.

Great choice. Put the suspension in "Comfort" and set the acceleration mode to "Chill" and your passengers will appreciate it. Now that I've been driving mine for 8 months, I leave it in "Insane" all the time and have learned to modulate the accelerator for passengers. You won't be...

Somewhat related. The Owners Manual shows a process to manually open the frunk (p. 166 in the version I downloaded). You don't have to open the frunk to jump start (unlike Tesla), those wires are behind the tow hitch cover.

Maybe if you had a really, really long downhill run...

Red Canyon looks more and more like the way to go. Great travel in different lighting conditions. Tough choice matte v. gloss. I tend to prefer matte, but gloss has some advantages. One is that you can go with a thicker PPF on the areas with highest vulnerability to road damage. On the other...

The 20" are more strongly constructed tires. The 21" will be more vulnerable to off road damage. I can't imagine occasional use would be a problem. Alex on Autos latest video shows a lot of slippage on the 21", never got stuck, however. Doubt he would have observed anywhere near as much with the...

I enjoy Alex's reviews. He doesn't appear to pull any punches and he notes that he may be tougher on the vehicles he likes. I wonder what street handling improvements you get moving from the 21's to the 22s? My First Drive was on the 22's and the handling was excellent. I would be interesting...

Second on the snowsocks if you don't plan to use them extensively. Toss them in the frunk or gear tunnel. They don't weigh much and are a great emergency option. Not sure which ones would fit the Rivian.

I believe the turning radius is 22.5'. Which is slightly worse than my 2020 Lincoln Navigator L (22'). From Motor Trend's comparison article: The GMC's steering, though, is otherworldly. Crab Walk may be a bit of a gimmick, but the aggressive four-wheel-steer system makes the Hummer EV Pickup...

Matte looks like an excellent choice for El Cap. Beautiful truck. The matte finish seems to highlight its lines and character. I have Xpel Stealth on my 2021 Model S (Solid Black). Easier to maintain, lots of compliments, hides dust and dirt.

DuckTruck - your response brought back memories of my first all digital CD - Yes, stopped by Myer Emco (for those long-time denizens of the Washington DC Metro area) during a lunch break and listened to the just released "Brothers in Arms." Ended up buying a top of the line CD player and a few...

Makes you realize how elegant the 2021+ Tesla Model S solution is, a simple angled piece that has a bar in the middle and charges two phones. Simple, works consistently. It looks like Rivian was trying to have a single area that could serve as a general location for stuff and for charging...

Beautiful truck. Best lighting for LA Silver IMHO. The wheels look great - they look like 22s. Photos like this make me doubt my Red Canyon preference.
