  1. Got this email.

    I think this is an R1 shop nudge. I received this email with the "Are you ready to go?" header. The preview for the email reads "The R1 shop gives you the fastest...", but the body is blank just like everyone else's. I'm currently waiting on a Sept '21 R1T with the Max Pack, and I've already...
  2. COMPASS YELLOW R1T Photos

    This is very interesting. I have Compass Yellow with a Max Pack configured, and I got an email on the same day which just asked me to confirm that I still wanted Compass Yellow and wanted to take delivery this year. I wonder why some were given the option to keep this configuration, while others...
  3. Rivian Dual Motor First Reviews Are In! + Some Looks at Max Pack (up to 410mi range)

    I'm a Max Pack holdout with pre-March 1 pricing locked in, and also with Compass Yellow. After a lot of back and forth with Rivian over the past few days, it seems like they're committed to actually pushing out Max Packs before EOY. It would make sense in my specific case, since they're...
  4. August delivery updates are in! What is your new estimated delivery window?

    As a Max Pack holdout with Compass Yellow, I'm planning on calling today to see how they'll reconcile my order. Looks like Max Packs are getting pushed until next year, but Compass Yellow is getting discontinued next month.
  5. New low price on Cars & Bids for brand new R1S LE?

    Probably because there's been at least one R1S on Cars and Bids every single day since people started taking delivery.
  6. Infinite Range Cheat?

    If you have two EVs which are both capable of towing, could you theoretically switch off flat towing between the two and drive across the US without stopping to charge? Ingoing assumptions: - You'll lose about 50% range when towing with an EV - Flat towing EVs have, in some cases, resulted in...
  7. Official Announcement: R1S Max Pack/Enduro/390 mile range

    These guys have had 4 years to get out the original max pack, and they can't even give us delivery dates for that yet. You expect me to believe that they'll release this in 7-9 months from announcement?
  8. Email From Rivian: Updates for Max Pack Preorder Holders -- Delivery Window Update Postponed Until April

    Just received. I wonder if the Max Pack or the Cybertruck will get here first... "We are working hard to get your R1T to you as soon as possible. In January, R1T Preorder Holders with Max pack configurations were told you would receive a new delivery window estimate in late February...
  9. Woa Tesla Cybertruck getting 1000-Volt architecture capable of V4 supercharging

    As a Max Pack order holder, I think I've seen more comments on this forum like "you don't really need 400 miles of range anyway, I'm happy with my 300" than actual ire towards Rivian for the constant delays / vaporware that the Max Pack is becoming. I do agree that Musk makes a lot of stupid...
  10. Woa Tesla Cybertruck getting 1000-Volt architecture capable of V4 supercharging

    Everyone here is pointing out the endless delays for the Cybertruck and Tesla Semi, yet ignoring the Max Pack's similar predicament (along with all the other smaller Rivian features which were promised but never delivered or canceled). Elon may over promise and under deliver, but he's not the...
  11. Tesla opens up their EV connector design to the world (North American Standard)

    I think the consideration the poster was thinking was that if Tesla's connector gets adopted by even one other manufacturer, it might now be considered a "standard" under the new infrastructure bill. This will both grant Tesla access to infrastructure money and backhandedly fulfill Elon's...
  12. (Pre March 2022 Orders) Switching from Quad + Max to Dual + Max will be treated as a completely new order.

    I'd been waiting to see this confirmed somewhere, so thank you OP. I think with this news, I'm out. Back to waiting for the CT or Silverado EV. In the spirit of Rivian though, I think I'll wait to cancel my reservation until 3-4 months before it's my turn to order.
  13. Max Pack delayed to 2024 according to configurator / email ?

    Who'd have thought the Max Pack would take the Cybertruck's place as vaporware truck of the year. And now that it looks like CT tooling equipment is showing up in Austin, Tesla may end up with the first 400+ mile truck after all...
  14. Got the Tony Email … and a Guide

    I got the email, but no guide. I wasn't expecting one yet, though - I only pre-ordered in September '21, and I'm waiting on a Max Pack.
  15. The Max Pack Will Most Likely Be Canceled - IMO

    Given that we're getting close to when Max Packs are supposedly rolling out, I wouldn't be surprised to see an uptick in reversions to the max pack for people who were originally quoted 1H23 delivery dates. If you downgraded and don't have a guide already, you're probably not going to take...
  16. The Max Pack Will Most Likely Be Canceled - IMO

    I hope they don't cancel the Max pack, because I've been waiting for an EV truck wth 400+ miles of range since 2015. Current DD is a Model Y, so I have a good sense of how far I can get with a ~300 mile battery. I think the bigger issue, as some have pointed out here, is strategic. Rivian is...
  17. How Far Will They Go? Rivian R1T vs Ford F-150 Lightning Highway Range Test

    That's incorrect. The Lightning has only two battery options, Standard Range and Extended Range. SR is rated for around 250 miles, while ER (tested here) is rated for around 300. However, the ER Platinum has a slightly lower range than the ER Lariat and XLT due to more options / heavier weight...
  18. How Far Will They Go? Rivian R1T vs Ford F-150 Lightning Highway Range Test

    Would've been more helpful if the test had been run with the longest distance Lightning. It's pretty well known that the Platinum, even with the Extended Range battery, has less range than the Lariat trim.
  19. R1T + Royal Enfield Himalayan (Motorcycle in bed)

    Glad to finally see some motorcycles in the R1T bed. Here's another one from Reddit. Looks like this guy installed a wheel chock and it doesn't interfere with the tonneau cover.
  20. Email: Ocean Coast Design Update – Dark Ash Wood or Wrapped Vegan Leather

    I originally had BM, but I like this OC update enough to change my configuration. I'm a 2H23 reservation anyway. My bigger concern is that they unceremoniously drop the Max Pack like they did with the Explore trim. That'd be enough for me to go back to waffling between the R1T and the Lightning.
