I'm a bit South of the Mothership: about midway between Edwardsville and Hamel. Eagerly looking forward to fetching my R1T from its current home in Richmond, VA. I suspect I'm not alone in being tired of people learning that I live in IL and just assuming I'm in the Chicagoland area! We're...

Yup--quad motor, large battery, Compass Yellow outside with Forest Edge inside. Will definitely post photos when the deed is done (in a new thread--it will be a couple of months).

:brokenhearted: But it's _her_ Rivian--mostly. She's a sculptor--transporting rocks and metal and wood is a necessity. I do deal with a lot of plant-related stuff like transporting mulch. But she's the one that truly needs a truck. I pushed for the Rivian so I could have an awesome vehicle...

Thanks! Yes, we are considering a magnet. There are some dangerously strong rare earth magnets out there! The ornament weighs two pounds. I'm concerned that, despite the strength of the magnet, something might jar it loose at highway speeds. That could do serious damage to our, or worse, someone...

That's a useful insight, jdhiker23! Thanks for pointing it out. Seems like experimenting by attaching with putty before any serious commitment would be prudent. I like the idea of a roof mount! We'll definitely explore the option. Of course, first we have to get the darn thing--26 days to go...

Thanks! I'll certainly do that. I agree: when I own something, I want it to be _mine_. The nice people at Rivian gave me somewhat more than a blank canvas--a color scheme that I love (Compass Yellow on the outside and Forest Edge on the inside--as a long-time New Mexican, I refer to this as...

I'll certainly do that! Here's a photo of the ornament on the old truck. And one "in hand" for scale. (My wife's nickname is "Snail"--for old and obscure reasons.)

What a great idea! And very useful photos! Thank you so much!

Okay, I know this will horrify some (many? all?) of you, but please be gentle: I want to drill a couple of holes in the hood of my new R1T and wonder if there are wires (e.g., for sensors/cameras) running through it that I might hit while doing this. My wife is a sculptor who works in bronze...

I literally just got my quote for my new insurance. Been with State Farm for about 20 years--no particular loyalty, but no good reason to change. "CURRENT PREMIUM $162.69 * DIFFERENCE + $342.67 * MONTHLY PREMIUM $84.23" This is going from a 2003 Mazda B4000 (basically a Ford ranger) to an R1T...

Congratulations, voxel! I truly sympathize with the various folks who have encountered serious issues with the purchase process for the demo units! But my own experience couldn't have gone more smoothly. My test drive was exactly one week ago today and I didn't even know about the existence of...

I don't think it's you, momo, I think there just aren't any R1Ss available. When I look at: https://demovehicles.rivian.com/collections/all I see a bunch of R1Ss, but all have been "claimed"! I have no good ideas about why the SUVs are getting snapped up more quickly than the trucks, but my best...

Yup, that strategy occurred to me as well. I might do it. Fortunately, a few weeks to go before I take delivery, so I have time to get prepared. Many thanks for the input!

I just signed the agreement on a demo model. Works out great for me: ironically, I live not too far from Normal, IL (about 150 miles), but the truck I'm buying is in Richmond, VA. But I had a trip to Richmond (for other business) already planned. So I'll just take delivery of the truck and drive...

Hmmm...I'll look into it. Clearly a learning curve for me. Thanks for the pointer!

Thanks for the info! Yeah, I figured that was the case. I've ordered a replacement. It's not a huge expense: a ~$500.00 phone to enable an ~$80,000 truck. But I dislike waste as a general principle. I'll try to find a new home for the old phone (I can still get more than four days out of a...

Hi! (First post after "hello") Maybe this has already been discussed--forgive me if it's already trod ground! I am in the process of ordering an R1T. I decided to go ahead and install the app--just to poke around. Then I discovered that the app requires at least Android 12! Sheesh! My phone is...

Hi, all! Been lurking for a bit, but decided to join and start posting as I've just started the order process. I've been on the pre-order queue for a Cybertruck since January of 2020. As the delivery date has slipped, the price has gone (way) up, and the reviews have been tepid, I decided to...
