  1. Self-Parking?

    I'm surprised it is not there as well. My 2014 CTS V-Sport had it (never even tried it in the 6 years I owned the car) and I imagine most $50k+ vehicles would have it at this point... Not a deal breaker for me for another decade or so (I hope :) ) but I agree with earlier posts that this will...
  2. Rivian may offer factory wraps

    The right wrap might be pretty cool, but I would not want to be the person that took off the wrap a few years down the road and find problems with the paint that had been covered up... Better to take delivery, inspect the paint, and have a business that specialized in wraps do a paint...
  3. R1T Kayak Questions

    I am hoping for cab-height crossbars for the bed as well - have seen nothing so far that would indicate they are coming, but I am keeping my fingers crossed for it anyway!
  4. Forged vs Cast Wheels? Weight/Strength/Longevity

    If you are willing to go with two sets (which is what I will do) then go with the 20" wheel if they will sell us those for a reasonable price - otherwise get a winter wheel/tire package from TireRack, DiscountTire or one of the other big vendors. You may want to consider the availability of...
  5. Michigan bill to ban direct sales

    While I largely share your cynicism, I do know one thing for a fact: If I never contact my representatives they will never have any idea of what I want them to be doing. If I contact them, there is a slight chance that they may do what I ask.... Very few people contact their elected...
  6. Michigan bill to ban direct sales

    I have been a R1T pre-order for nearly 2 years now and find it ludicrous that the Michigan Auto Dealers have the leverage over our representatives in Lansing to push this kind of legislation forward. I don't think we are alone - there are a lot of Teslas running around up here in the Traverse...
  7. Forged vs Cast Wheels? Weight/Strength/Longevity

    " and my experience is that All-Season tires are good in all seasons, but great in none " This is what I've been saying for years about A/S tires: jack of all trades - master of none. All our vehicles that are driven year round have 2 sets of wheels/tires. Makes the garage a bit more crowded...
  8. R1T Kayak Questions

    Hi Reed - Welcome to the forum! As a kayaker myself I too have been trying to figure out how I will haul my boats (13' & 15'). I am hoping for a telescoping bar from Rivian, otherwise I will have to rig up something to make it work. Although the Scorpion 20" AT tire have the snow rating, I...
  9. What do you guys think about a two-door R1T

    I would be very interested in a version of the R1T that eliminates the back doors (a fold up jump seat would be good), extends the bed, all while keeping the overall length no more than the current 218 inches.
  10. Heads up display

    I've had several cars (and one now) with it also. I think they are great and would like to see it in R1T
  11. What We Know - Collecting Information Directly From Rivian

    On a earlier chat today I asked about replacement wheels - in my case for a set of mounted ice/snow tires. I was looking for information about the smallest wheel diameter that could fit over R1T's brakes so I would have more tire size options. He had no idea - but tried to suggest that the 20"...
  12. What We Know - Collecting Information Directly From Rivian

    She could not tell me what file format the USB drive will support (NTFS, FAT, exFAT, Fat32), nor could she confirm anything but that MP3 is the most common audio format. I specifically asked about FLAC (supported in my 2020 Chevrolet) but got the same vague answer that more details will be...
  13. What We Know - Collecting Information Directly From Rivian

    From today's chat session: LE (Adventure Edition) will have 6 USB ports but no SD card slots for playing music from USB drives: 2 in center console for charging and data 2 in rear console 2 in the seat backrests
  14. What We Know - Collecting Information Directly From Rivian

    I sent an email asking about the roof options prior to my chat - just got the reply today from Emily: " There is no sliding material to cover up the glass roof. However there will be a command option that enables you to have the roof go from translucent to fully opaque. It is optimized to keep...
  15. Somewhat disappointing- colors cost extra

    A agree with the brown leather option - that would be a great addition. If not that, the option of the brown wood with Black Mountain would look great.
  16. How many ordering Launch Edition ?

    I just got off a chat session with Curtis about wheels/tires. Looking at TireRack I see no road all-season tires in the 20" size (275/65 20), just all terrain. Several A/S options for the 22" size though. I configured my R1T with the 22" A/S, but would prefer a 20" (or less) road A/S tire...
  17. What We Know - Collecting Information Directly From Rivian

    To me this aftermarket solution looks pretty cheap - not at all keeping with the quality level of a $75K vehicle. I am concerned not only about the heat, but glare washing out the displays when the sun is above and slightly behind the vehicle. My chat session with Amanda did nothing to...
  18. Rivian Configurator is Up For Reservation Holders! Share Your Build / Configuration Inside

    Pre-order 6612 (Feb 2019) R1T LE Forest/Black 22" - but may drop back to the 20" and just replace the tires with all seasons.
