This is an interesting thread, and even though the OP already made a decision, here is my plan as an Avalanche/Ram1500/F150 driver for over 20 years... I took the bait and placed my order for a Lightning Lariat this week [think I am the only reservation holder who got one for 2022MY from my...

While I also have a EValanche reservation, and have similar thoughts, hope the R1T comes as planned. As to the Lightning, and your question... I think it's because as of today, we have VIN numbers assigned to May builds... So I placed my order as well being I got a wave email last week. Still...

Pretty much in the same boat.... would cancel the lightning reservation if I knew when I would get R1T - also have Evalanche reservation for same reasons. Now, if Ford can get their servers working again I could order the lightning - been broke since Saturday... can see reservation and 'order'...

All, Back to original thread topic... lightning or not.... Have a reservation for a RIT and a Lightning. Both as speced are just under $80k [adventure vs Lariat extended battery]. Both have their strengths and weaknesses and specific use cases. I have a situation where I need to make a...

Nice Video... hope someone on the site figures out a way to disable the 'washing machine' sounds though... imagine wanting to take this out to a remote hunting site, or just wanting to hear nature. That's an advantage for an electric truck. Should be a software method to turn off for...

I think there is another simpler reason as well. Last 50 years autos/mobile machines make the majority of their profit from spare parts/aftermarket... to compete against low labor country product and less components to break, you need a new business model - services. my employer makes much more...

Noticed something interesting today. Was checking out of my local Bass Pro store and noticed a flyer by the cashier - looks like Bass Pro/Cabelas has trademarked the term 'Gear Guard'... https://www.mygearguard.com/

gonna keep this on my radar - moving to Wake County next summer... hope I get my R1T before then, but think that is wishful thinking at the moment. Was on the fence between R1T and Lightning but since the fist mile event at the factory heavily leaning toward Rivian. Now, my options are: Ford...

appreciate the latest comments on this thread - all good points. It's interesting some of the items that drive people's decisions - like not having room in the garage. While it seems minor, that is a major convenience issue. For me, I have a F150 that fits so no problem fitting another one...

Good comments above... the issue my industry has to deal with is just because you provide a backup camera/monitor does not imply the driver uses it, which is why the next step is object detection/auto stop... sort of a never ending scenario. Designing out all 'potential misuse' is a real...

Well thanks for the explanation and snarky response. Yes i can read.., a potential 158,000 vehicle recall also. I hope we do not have any related issues as these vehicles roll out; I do think Rivian has put more thought into this but I wonder how either Telsa or Rivian have completed their...

I saw the article below on Tesla touch screens, in which it was acknowledged the screen 'will fail' in 4 to 5 years. Anyone have any insight on what Rivian will offer here to alleviate this concern...

Lots of good input - great reason to be on the forum. I will like others here, wait to make a decision until such a point I have to place a firm order or get to see/look/feel/test drive a pre-production unit. Some folks have no issue making such a purchase sight unseen. While I recognize the...

Hello all! Love this forum and all the great info shared. Been thinking harder about why I want a Rivian R1T versus a standard traditional truck. For comparisons, I am using a currently available F150 Hybrid and potential future F150 Electric. I wanted to list some pros/cons below and would...

please see options - these are all of them....

you need to scroll down while in the configurator on the right side - more options shown... still not very many though...

here is what I configured for first go around... there are additional upgrades - camp kitchen $5k, 22" black wheels $3.5k, other colors $2k, interior green color $2k no mention of financing, charging, etc... but there are teasers of these items in the regular website...[rivian home charger...

22" black wheels $3500 upgrade for non LE edition

ok $112k for the top level in late 2021, everything else 2022-2024.... think I'll pass. Down to Rivian or buy a hybrid Ford and wait for the electric F150 to release....

Without the ability to see/touch in person, I am still keeping my options open. Even though I am a November 2018 reservation holder and live 25 miles from the factory, until I have a solid understanding of capabilities, cost, options, etc... I will be paying attention to the upcoming Hummer EV...
