If you live in NC and want a Rivian please call your state Congress representative & Senator. I spoke this week my with Representative who did some research on Rivian’s ability to direct sell in NC. Below is some information he shared with me. “I just finished speaking with the lobbyists that...

Interesting test and worth a listen. Listen towards the end (6:55) to the record holding car and what type of suspension it has.

In searching through some older videos of Rivian Overland shows, I came across this find. Two comments stood out that have been discussed on this forum in the past...Paint Colors: you can hear the engineer saying that Paint development takes a long time which others have shared here. Second...

I’ve asked Rivian many times over the past couple of years to shoot a short video of how their “Kinetic suspension” works. This has fallen on deaf ears or more likely, Rivian didn’t want to share until launch time. As MT has discovered, the R1T has an amazing suspension. I think this video...

As we have all witnessed via social media, and some in-person, Rivian have been driving around the country for the past 1-2 years, many with lidar on the roof, it looks like they have been working hard on the Driver+ for some time. Sandy Munro just took a drive in a Ford Mach-E with a Ford...

If Rivian (RJ) hope to succeed, I hope they are following Sandy Munro’s advice.

Many of us have asked Rivian for details on Crash Test and that will come in time. As a couple of the pre-order holders shared some of their videos, I was looking for some evidence of what Rivian has done to the structure to strengthen it. Those large side panel stamping of Alumium had me...

Ok, here's a question for our electricians and EE's? In Rivian's "Experience" postings, they stated that the RAN will have "charging rates of over 200kW initially and 300kW+ in the future". Here's an article I found from Trucks.com ~2 years old...

This is not totally unexpected for a new start-up manufacturer, but Rivian has finally come clean on there will be a delayed timing for the R1T's. Rivian has previously stated they would deliver LE by end of 2021. Having placed my order on Dec. 12th, 2018 this has been a long wait. Per...

I've heard total ordered Pre-Orders of 40-50K, maybe many more, but no one in the public truly knows. Just thinking, if you are a Pre-Order holder, many of us have been here since 2018, you're most likely actively watching and waiting, reading everything you can get your hands on. Just an...

Hello! So I just received this email this Friday afternoon. I thought it was just a recap of the information we learned yesterday until I got down a few paragraphs about Configuring and how this will work. "A dedicated Rivian Guide will be assigned to every preorder holder. Guides will begin...

I saw a few of us had an interest in using our Rivian's as battery backup for our homes, especially for areas prone to storms and power outages. I found this product today and I've reached out to the company to see if it's actually on the market yet. This unit can deliver up to 10 kW peak...

Per Rivian’s web site and confirmed with CSR, the bed of the R1T only has 2-110 outlets. Any thoughts on why no 20 or 30 amp (TT-30R) outlet? It seems like a big missed opportunity. I’d love the ability to plug in my small camper while traveling or overnight parking.

Hello, I've seen various HP & Torque numbers floating around quoting 710 hp? I then saw the numbers on Rivian's site, which if you combine front and rear comes out to 835 hp & 908 lb-ft of torque as per the R1T pages. With the discrepancies, I emailed Rivian. This is the response I received...

I had reached out to Rivian as to whether their wheels will be forged or cast. This is the response I got. Thank you for waiting patiently while I researched your question further. Rivian has not announced details on our suppliers at this time, but all of Rivian's wheels are engineered for...
