Oh yeah, I absolutely agree on that. A clearer description/imagery would be super helpful. This is exactly why I created this thread! ? like so many people I didn’t know what I was actually gettting. I just hope this helps other people make clearer decisions.
I got the vibe they did tell people before their delivery but they just didn’t have enough inventoty elsewhere to correct it all quickly. My guess is they asked people if they would be okay without it but who knows. That’s all just guessing.
My 8 steps wasn't without hiccups, but I too was concerned with the delays. I ended up checking in with the local SC scheduler to make sure we were still on track. To my dismay, she said we were not and they needed another week. However my guide was telling me everything was good to go. I didnt...
So one other note on this - a lot of the trucks at the denver SC right now do have the shielding. We had to look under about 10 trucks to find on that didnt have it for that photos. They told me that early on there were a lot of being delivered that were supposed to have it but didn’t and it was...
Happy to as soon as I have it back in my hands!
I had it for 15 minutes for the drive from SC to my PPF installer and I think that I was just in shock that actually had the truck. ? it doesn’t even feel real yet.
Keep in mind this is probably a temporary thing. I bet if you really needed one your guide or service would find a way. They have a can do attitude toward problems. I just don’t think you’ll be able to go to your local centerand grab one off the shelf or Order it in the online store for a bit.
i personally thinks it worth it, but in honesty this is my truly first off capable road vehicle so my opinion may not hold that much weight. I do like that I didn’t have to do the mod later and it’s going to be backed by rivian. Will something better and cheaper come in the after market, I’m...
After seeing it, yes. I’m absolutely glad I got it. I was really on the fence about it. I even told my guide I was indifferent and could take either allocation.
After buying it and now seeing the difference, I’m glad I have it. Am I really going to push it off road to where I would need it...
It’s right there waiting for you! You’re going to love it! Make sure you spend all the time you can with that delivery guys. They are super friendly and will share anything they can. It’s the best time to ask all the questions you can come up with!
For the 15 minutes I’ve been behind the wheel...
That has to be part of the battery pack build. Not the additional shielding. The carbon fiber I was shown would be off frame to the right as a panel. They must have removed something to show that piece. The pieces I saw do not require any removal. They are very visible by just getting under the...
I would have to watch his video truly comment but from what I can see in the title screenshot maybe he had already taken the shielding off? I’ll watch the video and see if I can clarify.
I want to clear up a long standing debated topic: Can you see the reinforced underbody protection?
Short answer: you can tell by looking under the truck!
I took delivery today and I had the delivery friends show me and explain. It’s clear once you know what you’re looking for.

Maybe? Tony has said they are working to bring up volumes to cut costs and build faster. Who knows, maybe costs will neutralize or go down if they can get to true scale. It may be wishful thinking though.
