Hard to tell, but I think the inserts would look better with less or no "silver." If I end up with them, I might just paint them black.

I'm thinking Glacier White with xPel Stealth (matte) wrap would be incredible.

One advantage to the glass roof is crash safety. One of the reasons Tesla's have such great crashworthiness is the amount of energy the glass roof can distribute and absorb across the entire panel in an accident.

The market and R1X points both make sense. Rivian gives the casual off-roader the tools to tackle trails they might not be able to take on in an ICE truck. Similar to drag racing the Tesla Plaid -- very little skill / experience required to turn incredible 1/4 mile times. It would be great to...

On the "going gets tough" point, the strengths / weaknesses of the Gladiator / R1T are asymmetrical. It's new tech v. tried and true. Each wheel driven by a separate motor, full torque at 0 rpms v. experience and trail-proven equipment. Electric (no gas cans) v. gas.

Yes it does. Thank you.

I've ruled out a few of the colors (Midnight, Red Canyon, Compass Yellow) -- purely as a matter of personal preference. I've also spent some time with configurations in Forest Green, Glacier White, LA Silver, El Cap Granite and Limestone. In thinking about the grays and whites, and what is a...

Done.

One other option, haven't been there in years, is south of Poolesville, Maryland, in the area around the Izaak Walton League BCC Chapter. River Road my change into a gravel road (at least it used to) and there were gravel roads through McKee Beshers Wildlife Management Area. I may take a drive...

Looks like a good location. My Google-fu may not be up to snuff, I see the map briefly and then get sent to a search results page.

For one of the NY drives, the pre-order holder chose a location other than his home, so he was able to get a beach drive in. What are some good options (not too far from DC) for a good First Mile drive experience? Some offroad, light traffic.

I've thought about this quite a bit. I have a Tesla Model S LR on order (supposed to be a November delivery, but who really knows) and have a 12,xxx reservation for a R1T. I've always planned for the Max Pack. I see the R1T as the better constructed vehicle (4-motor solution, etc.). I see the...

Best path is to keep options open. The main competitive edge the CT has is Tesla software. We'll have to see if Rivian is able to catch up with Tesla on this. One downside to the traditional auto maker's service model is in the software space. They stuggle with over-the-air updates, in my...

I think Max has it right. I'm following the strategy of multiple reservations (Model S, Lucid Air, Kia EV6, R1T and CT). I haven't owned an EV other than a 1st gen Volt, and you can't test drive the latest and greatest EVs, so I'm keeping my options open. I've got a 2020 Navigator, so I don't...

I'm in 22101 as well. Dulles would be fine. I'd guess there would be advantages to Rivian being close to an international airport with freight options. The service pitch on the website notes they would be providing transport to the service center and loaners, so where the center is located is a...

McLean. R1T, 119xx order number. Waiting for Max Pack as well. Great exterior color options, so still undecided - Silver, Green or Blue.

If they are available, you should have the options of Auto, Off and Extended. I leave the Navigator set to Auto most of the time. Having the other options are valuable at times. The extended option leaves the running boards out until you hit 5 mph and then switch to Auto.

June 2, 2019. I'm thinking that it will be early 2022. Time will tell.

The Ford and Amazon investments are significant votes of confidence. It will be a real plus if Ford is also sharing its know how on production with Rivian.

I'm considering the 135 (possibly the 180 depending on incremental cost). I can sympathize with the "vaporware" comment. Look at Ford's experience with the F150 - how may millions built? Buying an early run Rivian will be a bit of an act of faith. Will they stand behind the issues that will...
