I believe the manual tonneau cover delays are the result of a redesign meant to accommodate both the current and future gear tunnel form factors. They previously stated that the manual tonneau cover comprised of four interlocking slats that would also fit together to form a camp table, then they...
I've seen anecdotes in various forums along the lines of "my friend works at Rivian and told me that the new tonneau is coming in 2024," or "a service tech mentioned that we won't get a redesigned tonneau for a year or more," or "Rivian engineers had problems getting the new design to fit the...
I think it's very likely that the R1T Max Pack gets more than 400 miles of range. The first EPA estimate for the R1T Large Pack was 15-20 miles lower than what owners were able to get in conserve mode. I expect that there'll be a similar milage "gain" of 20-40 miles with the Max Pack while...
You should reach out to customer support and ask if they can give you more information on the EPA range, etc. before you take delivery. Because of your unique situation, they might be more inclined to give something other than canned responses and we might be able to gauge what the timeline is...
October 2020, still holding out. My daily driver has been an electric vehicle for ~7 years now, long enough to know that having as much range as possible is worth waiting for. With that said, I didn't expect to be waiting this long and admit that it's challenged my patience.
I miss that R1S interior. Lunar rock, right? Those textured fabric seat backs look awesome! Really wish Rivian would release an interior option along those lines.
My first post to these forums was an investigative one on range. This was made before range numbers for the large pack were released, so I had to rip apart a Rivian Stories post and dig for some valuable nuggets of information to work off of. The "story" involved an R1T's trip from Texas to...
I am in favor of the battery requirement, even if it makes the tax credit currently unreachable for most. It incentivizes industry (by dangling money in front of their faces) to pay for source material from countries that aren't our adversaries. Battery and semi-conductor technologies will...
