Very exciting that the new site has been launched and we have a configurator date - even if there are limitations on how some us had been planning to configure our vehicles.
I had decided on the 400 mile range, but may bite the bullet and go with 300 to get it next year.
I also would prefer a...
Better late than never! You are ahead of most people that will end up with a Rivian over the next few years. I rarely find anyone else who has even heard of Rivian, much less placed a deposit on one.
green or blue for me until they finally post colors.
Dragging on forever (19 months since my deposit) without something (info, configurator, coffee cup, t-shirt, etc.) is becoming more frustrating by the day - especially as I see other manufacturers producing new EVs or getting close to...
I don't think those of us that would like some type of PV covering (roof and/or frunk or tonneau) believe it will make a large impact in charging/range, but it will help. Over the course of a year, if you have a PV covered roof (perhaps 300w today, higher as they get better) instead of the...

Green - perhaps another color once whey show them all
Steel roof - I will park the truck and get out if I want to look at the sky

This week at our plant in Normal, IL, the work of thousands of Rivian team members comes together as our pilot production line begins running.
This important milestone brings us another step closer to our full production launch. It also allows us to more precisely estimate delivery timing.
R1T...
As others have said, it is an interesting color, but I am still leaning towards blue or green.
If it was closer to a metallic copper, I would be more interested.
18 months ago when I placed my deposit on the R1T I think this would have been very appealing. Fast forward to today - I have moved to a small town (everything is close by) and I am permanently tele-commuting and have probably driven less than 3000 miles this year so far. I will only ever need...
This is as great idea. I would like to be able to raise the front high while lowering the back down for easier loading/unloading of my motorcycle and other wheeled vehicles. That would also allow my ramps to be shorter.
In 2019 it generated about 14.4 MWh, while we consumed 11.9 MWh. This year I'm adding a section of heated driveway for the winter, so with that, the R1T, and whatever EV my wife chooses in the next 12 months or so, I will probably be adding another 8-10K.
I will be using my R1T primarily as a daily driver, though it will include hauling bicycles/kayaks/motorcycles and pulling my boat trailer. My GMC Canyon can do all that now, but I want electric as that is obviously (to me anyway) the way of the future. I am concerned about climate change (just...
