After nearly a week, I will say, it's starting to grow on me. To the point where it just now looks "normal" when I see it. Still haven't made a final decision, but its odds havwincrease to about 65/35 now that I'll keep it.
Was convinced to black out the "RIVIAN", but then plugged in to charge tonight and saw this sequence and have to say, it looked pretty cool. Harder to capture in images / video, but the four stages of green brightness really looked cool coming through in just "RIVIAN" rather than the entire...
I went with a 60 series tire instead of 65. Primarily to match the 33" size of the 21 and 22 inch wheels by Rivian. The tires are the same Pirelli brand and tread pattern as stock, but don't have the "RIVN" stamp on them and are about half the price. With the 33" instead of 34", there is no...
So far, seems like the Rivian community is like me, about evenly split on the look. However, in talking to people that don't own a Rivian or Tesla and still drive ICE vehicles, they much prefer the blacked out look at about 80/20. Makes sense since it makes it look a little more Traditional to...
I agree. I felt the same about my Tesla's when they removed the nose cone from the Model S. Wasn't a fan of the flat bug catcher painted surface taking the place of the "grille" area. Many people prefer that cleaner look though.
Wheels are 20" with an 18mm offset, thus do stick out further...
The Abstract Ocean offering is what made me give that a try. The light bar vinyl literally took about 4 minutes to install. Easy change. While I'm not sold on this look yet, my think was, just as in trying to break up the all painted area between the headlights, even with the vinyl, its still a...
Went right over my head!! Your prior gif post appeared to be supportive of it? This one sounds like maybe not? Am interested in honest CONSTRUCTIVE opinions / feedback, good or bad.
EDIT: Added photos now with the Abstract Ocean blackout lightbar with "RIVIAN" on it. Definitely looks better than just the lower portion being blacked out. Not sure I love the overall look yet, but it's better. Maybe now 50/50 on if I keep it. These should at least, remove any "mustache" talk...
EDIT: ADDED THE BLACKOUT TO THE LIGHT BAR - NEW PHOTOS (Should remove any mustache talk!)
Well, went from photoshop rendering to real life. Looks pretty much the same as it did in the rendering. Now just have to decide if I like it or not. Can say, I don't LOVE it. Doesn't jump out at me and...
Originally, was supposed to be a quick fix while I wait to update the software because it wasn't connecting to the internet, rendering many of functions useless since this car relies heavily on an internet connection. Then, they said I had to leave it and pick it up later that day. Then they...
Naturally, when we have something, we tend to take it for granted after a while. My truck went in for service and was given a Mach-E rental car. Was a nice enough car. Better than I thought it would be.
My same day service turned into about a month. Longest I recall being without any car I've...
I agree. Had I not been an early reservation holder, I wouldn't have paid today's pricing. It made sense at the prior price point, barely, to me. When they tried to jack up the prices on all reservation holders, I immediately canceled my reservation. They reinstated and I'm happy they did. LOVE...
It was covered under warranty. Surprised they actually put the prices down on a warranty repair receipt. Don't recall seeing that before? Good way to scare people off!!
Happy to report, just checked the truck 24 hours later and NO SAGGING!! So, appears that the third time WAS the charm and...
Appreciate the post. Am seriously considering making the change from Rivian to Hummer. Not because I don't love my Rivian, but that Hummer, is just a best and I've loved it since the second I saw it. Have adjusted my other cars to now make it possible. The Rivain has been my daily driver, but...
After nearly a month, finally got the truck back today. Feels a bit odd as I really did start to adjust to life without a Rivian. Have to go through that "get to know you" period again with her! LOL
Anyway, sharing the service records for anyone that may have the same issue. Not that they'll...
