A long time PC modding and gaming buddy who I chat with daily about Tesla and Rivian were talking about a thread in RivianForums.com where forum member DannyC fit a small DC powered cooler in his R1T Frunk.
My buddy is a product design and manufacturing engineer with 20+ years of experience in...
I should amend my prior statement: I wish Rivian saw fit to get EVERYONE test drives: I have no Guide yet and no First Drive invite, even though I am an Oct>Dec R1S window from Feb 2019 Order. :( Thankfully DuckTruck was kind enough to let me see his R1T. :)
I don't know if I can get away this Friday, but I would highly recommend that any curious person with the time go visit the "riviots" at the roundup. The 5? that brought their trucks last time were very gracious and I'm very glad I went to the first one. :)

CS: Yes, with your R1S order being in the May to June window, if you...
I have Feb 2019 Reservation R1S LE LG, May-June window, restored pricing, and watching daily for Guide. Nothing yet, but good to see others getting contact!
I expect to be there. Don't have anything to show off, but thankful to the early R1T owners who will share their good fortune with the rest of us!
I might bring my GF and her son (16) who helped me remove the pool from my garage and I promised him opportunity if/when/how I take delivery of my...
I had a 3700gal pool in my garage for 5+ years. So: not a four point load, but several tens of thousands of pounds on half of my garage slab. Didn't see any issues when I disassembled and removed it. ;)
