  1. R1S updated estimated delivery window email (received June 11)

    They indeed might start building (customer, not employee) cars in October. But I'm also a February 2019 reservation and they told me August-September for my R1S LE and I'm willing to believe that they - as of last weekend - believed that they would make that window. Yeah, they've missed every...
  2. R1 issues for new owners

    I'm happily married but in my younger days I would have appreciated this feature :)
  3. Skinny Guy Campers

    Looks interesting...what the heck is that diving board thing out the back? Looks problematic. They mention a rain catchment system off the tent (not sure I'd want that anyway).
  4. Wall chargers

    I just went through this with the electrician doing my install (going to put a 100amp subpanel in the garage). In WA state by making this an EV install (panel, junction, etc) it's exempt from 10% sales tax. I'm adding a couple of outlets in the garage and have to pay tax on just the delta for...
  5. Bed mounted vs hitch mounted bike rack?

    More than that - I don't think you'd want to wrestle a 70-80 lb bike up there. My (Aventon Aventure - about $2k) also doesn't have a quick release skewer and a quick grovel of the web indicates QR skewers are rare on ebikes. They all have kickstands though :)
  6. Bed mounted vs hitch mounted bike rack?

    If you have an ebike in your future then I think that's going to dictate a (robust) hitch mount.
  7. Delivery! Limestone & 22” dark wheels

    I agree it looks look. Showed it to my wife and then we watched that video of all the colors - we just switched to Limestone! Gotta update my sig...
  8. R1S on cover of Sunset Magazine

    This is a special “Outdoor Living” issue. Camping in Alila Ventana Big Sur.
  9. Train/Air horn?

    We're at the opposite corner of the country so have at it. Oh, and on a train (and a ship) it's called a "whistle".
  10. R1S / R1T aftermarket bumpers

    My initial - like 2 second impression - was, yeah I could want ARB bar. Then the images themselves...not to my taste. I suspect that something will emerge for these vehicles but I hope it's going to be thoughtful and take into account the all of the comments above. There is likely _something_...
  11. R1S Owners Guide Manual Available! ? (August 22, 2022)

    Well it also turns on/off the courtesy lights in the rear - except they didn't during my First Mile drive and then the entire thing locked up. So...they could have just put a switch on the lights and punted on the entire thing. I would have made different design decisions.
  12. R1S Owners Guide Manual Available! ? (August 22, 2022)

    Argh - another feature I use for our dogs - I keep their water bottles in the holders. Not a deal breaker but...not very thoughtful IMHO.
  13. R1S Owners Guide Manual Available! ? (August 22, 2022)

    Uh, yeah - my 16yo GX470 has driver / passenger / rear. Really hate losing functionality - and thinking "dog" mode is gonna be disappointing if they think the "dog" is left or right side.
  14. Rivian exploring new ultra compact SUV design, (R1C?) [photo]

    Gonna be hard to spot those in the parking lot, on transport, and at the delivery centers
  15. The Built In Navigation Solution

    To be fair, the OP said they just relocated to the PNW. It _appears_ the solution is to...never move or leave your home area so you don't _need_ navigation. ;)
  16. Finally. 3 years of patiently waiting. She’s here.

    That IS nice! And it's not..."black"...I'm going to switch to BM. :)
  17. Power vs Manual Tonneau cover (space taken up)

    Somewhere in another thread we saw the body stamping in this area - it sits under what would be a package shelf behind the rear seat headrests. I imagine that someone creative could cut down into that area and line it and perhaps turn it into storage for small to medium-sized items.
  18. Flip from R1S to T due to S being less tested, less certain delivery windows?

    Agree with all the above comments - I expect the S to be less troublesome than the T. No tonneau in particular, but I also noticed rust on some tailgate bolts during my First Mile test (likely addressed but still - more stuff out in the weather). The switches in the bed rail...I'm a bit leery of...
  19. Had call with Rivian Guide, delay on Ocean Coast interior

    My R1S order has OC interior - we did our First Mile in FE. Honestly, I'm not in love with any of the configurations as shown in the configurator. If BM is more dark grey...I can live with that. What I REALLY want is a lighter dash, headliner, and perhaps doors so the interior doesn't seem...
