Ah, thanks, you're right! Should be around +585 lbs if it's 180kwh. I'd really like to know any more info about the bigger battery. Like will the truck actually perform a little better because of more power available? Or will that be negated or even lessened slightly because of the extra...

Where are you getting this 1000 lb weight increase from? I remember calculating it would be something like 300 or a little more, at some point. Still not insignificant but certainly not requiring upgraded brakes, suspension, or anything like that. Just like having a couple passengers in the...

Interesting idea. The benefits of full 4 wheel control are big. I wonder how practical it would be and how much cost savings from using 4 less powerful motors (maybe 100hp each) vs 4 of the current 200+ hp motors or 2 of the same, as I assume they plan on doing.

You can hope, and I imagine some will get lucky, but, from the email.. "Please note that switching to Adventure will not automatically result in an earlier delivery window."

Yeah honestly they should just cancel the dual motor R1 and focus on that for the R2 only. Also helps with model differentiation long term, knowing all of the original R1's are quad, which I'd argue helps Rivian as a brand.

Yeah this is my backup plan if I'm unable to really afford the vehicle when it comes time to purchase.

Directly from the email: "Please note that switching to Adventure will not automatically result in an earlier delivery window." Sounds to me like they're making this change just to try to manage to fulfill their _current_ delivery goals (25k vehicles this year, most current preorders delivered...

Wait till they announce in a couple more months that all "Max Pack" orders will actually just be getting something like this. ?‍♂️

Yeah I realize I'll be getting more for the additional $4500 and I appreciate that but it's not what I wanted, or what I signed up for (literally as of last week with the "binding" agreement - which it turns out actually isn't binding now in my case). My preferred config if I were to go El Cap...

Same situation for me. Explore + Tow Hooks. (Though I'm Max Pack bc I plan on towing a lot). I like the better audio on Adventure but that was never worth ~$5k to me. I don't care about the other stuff. This is a $4500 price increase for me. After Rivian promised that pre March 1 order holders...

I'm sure I'll be very tempted to do the same. You know, for "testing" purposes.

Dang this is making me a little concerned as I definitely plan on spending a lot of hours driving in desert areas, and I'm quite sensitive to the sun/light. I hope there will end up being a safe way to add ceramic tint. It's a bit disappointing Rivian didn't do this from factory.

Fantastic. That's right around my weight. I'll be closer to 4000 when loaded but close! This is great info to add to my mental list of data. When you said you got it up to highway speeds, does that mean 70, 75?

I can say it's definitely been worth it on my current car (VW GTI), fronts, backs and rear. Decided to leave the sunroof as is because it's already tinted from factory and has a sliding cover on the inside that blocks most of the light. Windshield I left alone as well because ceramic can cause a...

Looks like that Prime CS is a regular film (not ceramic), as you and others have alluded to, hence the low IR number. So I'm not really sure the point of doing that on the windshield, where I would imagine the main concern is IR (heat). UV protection is nice too I suppose. The obvious solution...

Thanks for this! Your trailer looks great with your El Cap Granite Rivian. Do you know the weight of your trailer when you were towing? Considering it's a dual axle I imagine it's capable of carrying a lot, but don't know how much you were carrying. Empty I imagine it's around 2500lbs. My...

My plans aren't far off from this! I'm currently buying a camper trailer and when I get my R1T Max Pack (in another 2 years probably), planning to spend a while traveling and living in it. (I'm extremely interested to see real data on towing range under different circumstances. The Out of Spec...

Sorry to highjack the thread, but in all seriousness I would love to know the exact measurement of the back seat area on the inside the long way, so I can see if stopping to take a nap on the back seat is a practical option. My own guesstimate says it's a little over 5, maybe 5' 3"...

This is easy. Get a smaller house. ?
