Cool write-up and photos. Thanks so much for taking the time to share it. Completely agree about the Gear Tunnel and truck bed. The Gear Tunnel, in particular, is great for secure storage and wonderful for putting on shoes and boots.
I've noticed a very small squeak as well. It seems to be on the driver's side, as you said, and particularly at low speed and over speed bumps or situations when there is a good bit of wheel travel. It's very slight and high pitched. I don't hear it at higher speeds. I don't even think most...
I went from a 2020 M3 (with the SW performance upgrade) to an R1T. I’ve been in the Rivian for about 6 weeks at this point. We sold a Prius V and my partner kept the M3, so we have two electric vehicles now and I drive them both regularly. Overall, the Rivian is well built an very capable...

It is really interesting to see the wide range of order dates that fell into the March - April time slot.
I had decided on the Launch Green, but saw a white one pass by today when I was out running. Quite a surprise - and the color looked amazing. I will prob change my order now.
I'd honestly rather have a manual cover that is lockable. No matter how well this is designed, there is almost no way it isn't going to collect dirt, dust and water over time that will build up and cause failure. A power cover isn't that big of a deal for me and I'd rather have something...
Thank you for these observations. I have been particularly interested in the visibility. I have a Tacoma I use as a farm truck now and the visibility through the front windshield is terrible, to say nothing of the performance.
