I was hoping a yellow more like the new Ford Broco: (side note, I think Ford NAILED it. This destroys Jeeps in every possible way)

Probably just a old model used for the render. Is this a render? Hard to tell... Paint and color is pretty hard to convey over digital screens and different lighting, as we've seen with the photos of the blue R1T prototype. I like the shade from the top-down shot, less so from the sides. The...

I did as well. Here's that bit of the video slowed down: To me it looks like the bumper was hit when the front passenger wheel went into the depression. The bumpers are something I've been worried about since the South America photos. It's hard to tell how much has changed because of...

^ my thinking too. A bit of an easter egg.

I LOVE the idea of having kids color the truck. Obvious in hindsight (they even released that coloring book), but the best of ideas are. Some things I noticed: Is this a glimpse of the fabric tonneau cover? (power cover IIRC was rumored to be an option): Is this one of the R1Ts that was in...

I also noted the whiteboard got a LOT blurrier haha They made up for the accidental release by giving us clips of the "camo" R1T. Those weren't in the first version. Looks like they're really testing things!

BC Hydro has done an amazing job of putting a large number of (mostly free I think) DCFC throughout the province. I'm a little disappointed that they're no faster than 50 kW, but I imagine anything more was prohibitively expensive and overkill when they started the project (seems like many years...

Some of my takeaways: - Like Rivian, Rimac also found that axial cooling is superior to radial - The different variables in evaluating battery tech, such as: gravimetric/volumetric energy density, power density, charge time, cycle life, calendar life, cost, safety - Battery energy density hasn't...

This discussion about the 2020 Defender was interesting: (listen for about 1 or 2 min from that point). They talk about how the "high mode" on a Jeep Grand Cherokee is "almost undriveable" due to the harshness, versus Land Rover's unique "multi-stage, multi-bellows" airbag suspension, making...

Do we know the exact interior dimension of the gear tunnel yet? I was hoping to fit skis in there myself. The R1T width from the website specs is 79.3 inches => 201cm, and I run 180cm long skis. Might be close when you take into account door thickness and where that vehicle width number is...

Based on what we've seen so far from the show room cars, the South America prototype vehicles, and the paint color swatches revealed in the recent Rivian video, here is the R1T in the various colors: Original: Silver (the original R1T color, I didn't get terribly close here, plenty of photos...

I was initially also skeptical about the cup holder in the prototype. Thinking more about WHY, I came to realize it's because historically such designs I've seen have been made of cheap plastic and been flimsy. It doesn't need to be that way however. If Rivian implements it better, the pop-out...

Screengrabs from the video, right after RJ dance-I mean the 1:55 mark ;) Not an official announcement, but those few full-screen color frames seem preeetty intentionally added. Did you miss them the first time? I did. I won't tell you how many times I watched it before noticing.

Bored on a Saturday morning I re-watched the "Building a Test Vehicle" video slowed down and noticed these things that I found interesting. Not all of them are new news, and of course this isn't production spec. Just observations from an impatient pre-order holder.

EVs are better in just about every way. I look forwards to never going to a gas station again and mostly charging from home.

✋outdoor person here. I'm planning on replacing my 4runner. I've wanted an EV for a while now (for many reasons), but can't justify owning and insuring two vehicles (unless maybe I get a motorcycle again one day). Until Rivian, there hasn't been anything that can provide me with even close to...

Got this email just now: ...sorry, couldn't help myself :p. But ACTUALLY, for real though, the homepage does have two new pictures: https://rivian.com/static/5241973544c0e786dcb9c857eaa2556e/039e3/R1TBlue_BC_PSStatic_FogWoods_058A4261_1215x1650.jpg...

The Tesla API isn't actually supported or published anywhere officially, it's been reverse engineered and Tesla just tolerates it: https://www.teslaapi.io/#is-this-api-official I agree with you though, hopefully Rivian provides similar functionality, and it would be amazing if they had a...

Agreed. I would much prefer for Rivian to allow display mirroring or something and just use my mobile device.
