  1. Anyone still waiting on Launch Edition, Launch Green R1T?

    You may well be right. I hope they'd have the sense to run a batch of 10 or 50 or whatever is the right number. There must be folks waiting. As I understand it, there's very little time or cost to switching between paint colors in their paint shop. Anyway, the wait goes on.
  2. Anyone still waiting on Launch Edition, Launch Green R1T?

    I'm curious if anyone with Launch Edition LG BM reservation out there still waiting? I've had access to the Shop for a week now but haven't seen anything in my color of choice. My guide says I'm still good for Oct - Nov for my configuration, but I haven't seen anyone take delivery of LG in a...
  3. Midnight Black R1S + Black Wheels looks soooo good! ?

    Mfg plates. Need more R1S with temp tags already!!!
  4. Rivian Rockville, MD Location is Now Open!

    I'm exactly 2 weeks out from my 1st mile so agree that this is order date based. Seems to be common elsewhere in these forums. I'm glad to see early pre-orders getting the R1 Shop invites. Hopefully they can make this the rule rather than the exception going forward. I'm not that early of a...
  5. Bed mounted vs hitch mounted bike rack?

    Thanks! Looks simple enough. Not much room left behind the bike though so probably not for road trips. (Love that tire choice! Those Agarros fly.)
  6. Engineering Explained: The Holy Grail of AWD Systems - Rivian R1T

    That's fine. No slight taken. But a bunch of random videos taken together do begin to form empirical evidence. And I did note that many of these videos reflect drivers who aren't fully familiar with their own vehicles. In any event, this truck has more off roading capability than I'll need...
  7. Engineering Explained: The Holy Grail of AWD Systems - Rivian R1T

    That's a good point given the current hardware doesn't allow power transfer from one wheel to another. You're right that increasing torque to the wheel with traction should already be happening. There was a great comparison video a few weeks back with a Nissan frontier, which seemed to perform...
  8. Introducing the R1 Shop... Email Communication

    Dear RJ, We here at the forums have agreed that the week has ended (see evidence above and below). Yet again, your communication team has failed to provide us with.... communication. I'm rooting for the company. I'm not even upset that I don't have my truck, lots of people pre ordered before me...
  9. Engineering Explained: The Holy Grail of AWD Systems - Rivian R1T

    Based on the video, Rivian could simply program in locked diff setting. Speaking of which, how about a custom drive mode? There is so much you could do with that kind of flexibility. I'm not sure it's needed beyond the modes available, but who wouldn't love to tinker with all these settings!
  10. Introducing the R1 Shop... Email Communication

    This is classic. Next up from Rivian CS: "If you're not here, raise your hand."
  11. 1st Month KWh per mile - owner's results

    Awesome stats. Thank you both for sharing. I hope we get more such feedback. This initial set of n=2 says what we should already know: Your Mileage May Vary. Also, @thedole may or may not have a lead foot. ?
  12. Polestar 3 Previewed

    So it's an id4... but with a 50% premium?
  13. Introducing the R1 Shop... Email Communication

    But it's not meant to be an F U. They're consistently repeating every time they speak publicly that they can't produce what they don't have parts for. RJ specifically said this was an issue for R1S. Reality is what it is, even if it's disappointing or frustrating. They've reset expectations...
  14. Aftermarket Wheels Installed on R1T...

    Appreciate you sharing the process, details and photos. The wheels look great. Elsewhere in this thread you mention that this setup is less likely to rub than the stock 20“ wheels though your diagrams show the tire closer to the fender lip (sounds like it's 16mm). I would have thought that...
  15. Bed mounted vs hitch mounted bike rack?

    I'm planning to use a tailgate pad for everything local and potentially for road trips as I really don't want to invest in a 4 bike rack just for that purpose. Question for those with the truck in hand. When a 29" Mtb is loaded over a tailgate pad, how much room is left in the bed - between...
  16. Kuat NV2 bike rack on R1T

    This is great info, thanks. Making me lean towards the simplicity of a tail gate pad and ratchet strap to keep it tight.
  17. Any tests done on Vampire battery drain?

    Have you also tried turning off phone as a key? And anything else that may wake the car? Frankly, it is disappointing the truck is consuming this much energy when stationary. I'm sure rivian is working on it and hopefully will make progress s00n. Tesla doesn't have this issue. My ID.4 doesn't...
  18. Antitheft Device for 1Up Bike Racks on Rivian Crossbars

    Rack solutions aside (well done there), love those bikes! Wouldn't worry about the rack as much as that beauty of a Ripmo. 2 questions for you: What size are the bikes? How do you make sure your front wheel holder on each rack isn't going to contact the spoiler /lip?
