That's more like it.
Just a bit of random musing: Between the Supercharger network, EA, Rivian, etc., I think the long distance part of charging is mostly solved. Really need companies to start getting level 2 everywhere to make EVs the ideal choice for almost everyone.
When are we going to get the announcement of Rivian chargers and exclusive parking at Whole Foods? (All credit to Now You Know for the idea.)
C'mon RJ and Jeff, make it happen!
Congrats! What color combo?
As an aside, I got my art and letter from RJ today. I know it's not much, but it definitely makes the order more real. Looking forward to enjoying the attention from the company before they get huge like Tesla. ?
If you're wanting to get an R1S, I'd pre-order now. You're probably looking at mid-year next year at the earliest, the way things sound. I doubt we'll slip into 2023, unless the supply chain issues are still ongoing next year. The deposit is fully refundable, so if the date slips further than...
Not too often, but the big draw of the R1T at the moment is the Max Pack. I've got some grand adventures planned and the extra mileage is important.
Plus, the kitchen is simply too cool to pass up. :cool:
Man, the more I see the R1S at different angles, the more I fall in love...

But camp kitchen and bed-top Yakima tent...

But kick-ass All-Terrain SUV...
Help!
I would love to see Rivian work a deal with the NPS to get Waypoint chargers at every National Park location. Talk about a huge win for EV adoption. Even if they have to do a deal where other cars can charge on it, it would still be worth it, just to keep spurring EV adoption.
I know it goes without saying, but it looks a lot more sturdy and modular than it did when they showed off the prototype at that overlanding show. If I hadn't already put it on my reservation, the fact that you can move it in sections AND it comes with the gear sled makes it a no-brainer for...
Talked to CS this morning and they confirmed if you get the All-Weather mats, you still get the regular chiliwich mats as well. In case anyone was wondering.
Just saw this post. Watching the video before bed. I definitely have plans to do some major overloading in my R1T. Will digest it and discuss soon. Thanks for the thread!
The satin black in the video with the LWU producer is sweet. I don't know if Midnight is going to be that, but if it is, my color indecision is going to get a lot worse.
Forest Edge on Forest Green seems a bit much, I agree. I do think that Forest Edge looks better in the R1S than the R1T for some weird reason. Though I was playing around with the configurator at work today and now I'm thinking Ocean Coast on Compass Yellow would be amazing...
Argh!
I've got the Forest Green in my avatar, but I've already switched to El Cap Granite. It might be a little boring, but the recent videos on Twitter make it look sharp. I'm sure once they start rolling off the line and we get some solid YouTube time with them, I'll be able to make an "educated"...
