I'm a little surprised at how many people on this particular thread chose Dual Max over Quad Large. In other parts of this forum, seemed like most people were down on the Max Pack because it wasn't significantly larger than the large pack AND that there's speculation that the new battery...
Reservation 12/08/2021. Confirmed configuration 11/03/2023, delivery estimate stayed the same Dec2023-Jan2024, Guide assigned but no VIN, nor 8-step started. BUT today (11/08/2023) found the exact same configuration in the R1 shop and took it. My assigned VIN is 27xxx, no information on build...
I use a Klymit Waterport 4.0 gallon while camping and plan to use the Rivian air compressor to keep it pressurized. I like it because it’s very durable and is food grade safe in case you want to drink the water. It’s expensive-ish but it goes on sale at Costco very often...
I haven’t gotten my Rivian yet, but I’d probably check out XPEL Final Fit in LA when I do. I only know of them because this YouTube video showing a XPel wrapped R1S with the Rivian deal.
Dec 2021 pre-order: R1S Quad Large, LA Silver, Ocean Coast, underbody shield, 21”, 10 miles from service center in Los Angeles… and my estimate went from January-June 2024 to April-June 2024.
I did, however, remove the XPel factory front protection just a month ago, which might have contributed...
R1S reserved 12/2021. Originally estimated latter half of 2023, now they're saying Jan 2024-December 2024.
Get this though, my friend who lives 5 miles from me (we both live in Los Angeles), ordered on 4/2022 with almost the same options BUT his has dual motors and his delivery estimate is...
You know what's interesting about the idea of running boards is that the new Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV has them built in and they claim it *helps* the aerodynamics! So maybe they'll be a Rivian add-on accessory in the future?
But I agree, a-pillar grab handles seems like a no-brainer solution for...
When I was at the Venice Hub, I noticed that the R1S has a glossy piano black rear underside diffuser, but the R1T has a matte ruggedized underside diffuser. At first I thought it was just on the pre-production models but now I'm seeing it on delivered R1S's (see that photo below from the R1S...
