Yeah, it's kind of sad that they don't allow the "bolt on after" parts to be sold with different vehicles (other than maybe scarcity - perhaps the bronze wheels are tougher for them, so they limit it to colors they know will be low-production?) Interior/Exterior combos I can understand for mass...

It was possible to get any combo of interior and exterior color for a while. Then they removed certain combinations. Then Rivian Yellow went away completely. I knew I should have gotten Rivian Yellow + Forest Edge with Bright 20" wheels. Would have had a one-of-a-kind! I was creating my own...

Those are the "standard" 20" Offroad wheels that someone has painted/coated/wrapped/something.

My BMW i3 had that, and I loved it. "2 hours the fast way vs. 2.5 hours a slower route that means I'll get to my destination with 15% instead of 5%? Yeah, I'll take that."

My initial instinct was "why not Mount Bachelor in Bend, Oregon? There are tons of Rivians there!" But combined with your statements about Park City vs. Montana, I'm reversing. People in Park City, and Bend, know Rivians are great. Montana? "it's cold and long distance to everything, an EV...

The one thing that slightly annoys me about the stock cupholders is the lack of "coffee cup handle cutout." Especially since Rivian sells Miir 12 oz camp cups in their physical locations! Those Rivian-branded cups don't fit in the cup holders!

DCFC are expensive to install en masse. My local Amazon yard has like 100 they charge every night. Amazon driver subreddit has a few "polls on how many miles you drive" and most "city routes" seem to average 50-100, most "suburban to borderline-rural" 100-200 per day. 11kW for 8 hours is more...

This. My R1T Gen 1 Quad in Conserve mode is the fastest accelerating vehicle I've ever owned. Other than the same vehicle in any mode other than Conserve. EV insta-speed is so pervasive and addictive, people forget how *SLOW* cars used to be.

Commercial Van has a completely different battery/charging subsystem than R1. Small and slow. Because that's plenty for commercial fleets that stay local and will charge on AC at a depot 99% of the time. Yes, if they want to expand beyond "commercial local fleet" with it, they'll need to...

$20K for a non-aerodynamic sleeping pod? I can get one that can sleep four for under $10k and is more aero. Yeah, it doesn't have the pop-top to stand up in, but this thing is so minimalist, I'd rather just pay 1/4 as much AND get better range when towing it. For parity, there's the Coachmen...

When my Model S was in for service, I'd frequently get a Model 3 loaner. (Or an Uber/Lyft credit.) When my BMW i3 was in for service, I'd frequently get an X1 loaner. I think I got an i3 once in half a dozen service visits. When my R1T has been in for service, I've never gotten a Rivian...

On a HW4 vehicle. In 2016, Elon said this would be possible with *vehicles shipping at that moment* (including mine.) Within two years time. That deadline is now even more of a broken promise than the Roadster 2.0.

Yep, it has been 10 years (as of 3 days ago) since Tesla said that vehicles would be able to drive from New York to Los Angeles with no human in the vehicle, including recharging stops, by the end of 2018...

I'm pretty sure all the gear that's just always in my truck (including the spare tire) are more than that. Even before I get in!

To me, Rivians are an oddball. They are "really frickin' expensive as an everyday driver" - BMW, high-end Lexus, Mercedes territory. The kind of vehicles that when bought new, are definitely only for people in the "upper middle class" or higher income. Yet at the same time, they're usable in a...

My wife almost had us get a Compass Yellow. Her favorite color is "royal purple" - which has meant she's been really tempted to use Borealis as an excuse to upgrade.

Since only 2nd Gen LE got hands-free driving, that was a given. :-D Technically, 1st Gen LE has lifetime Driver+ full functionality as well.

Only the Quad Launch Edition got the lifetime. If yours isn't a Launch Edition, you got the free trial, then it became monthly.

Just to verify - you have a 2025 Rivian R1S, correct? WIth a charge port that look like this: And you parked at a Tesla Destination Charger that looks like this: What did the end of the Destination Charger look like? 99% of all Destination Chargers have a "Tesla/NACS" plug: That plug won't...

@OutofSpecKyle does indeed frequent these forums! Get on it, Kyle, give this couple a job!
