  1. Rants and Raves after 2 months of Rivian R1T ownership [DISCLAIMER: Unauthorized feedback from non-owner]

    The infotainment is Android based still. Rivian is on the lookout big time for Android engineers to help develop the infotainment out further. This is what I am in product development doing (car infotainment and home streaming). The reason AA/CP are not likely included has been called out a...
  2. Go Fast Campers

    I have the Frontrunner tent and have been super happy with it and the price point. It is 5 inches narrower than the Yakima/Rivian set up, but that is not much. Im sure there are negatives, but Ive not been able to find any so far. Ive had it for about 3+ years and it lived on top my GX470 for 2...
  3. Go Fast Campers

    @kylealden check out this video. I guy I follow thats dropping a K24 Honda motor into a 308 Ferrari had an impromptu meet with the GFC team. In the back ground of a couple shots theres an LG R1T in the parking lot. Looks like they’ve got access to one now — hopefully they’re getting underway...

    All of this is valid! And if Rivian communicated that was the reason they were holding back Im sure many on here would wait longer. BUT, Perfect is the enemy of good. Im not saying its ok to have gap/QC issues, but if you’re waiting for a new car company to make a new car that doesn’t have any...
  5. OFF-ROAD instrument cluster

    This is a great topic! To the point you made about pitch and roll, I never used it in my old 4Runner, though it was there… BUT, I constantly use my phones bubble level to get my truck leveled with the RTT on it. It would be fantastic to not only display the data, but provide an option to level...

    I agree with this. Gap issues are fairly common for Tesla, but not stopping them from deliveries. My Tesla constantly gave me camera blocked messages and the trunk lid needed adjustment to sit properly after taking delivery. Im fine with getting these types of fixes addressed post delivery.

    When I talked to CS on Wednesday I got a few nuggets… more of my random thoughts. 1) The website feature for est delivery date will be hooked up to their Salesforce tools and bespoke production software to get more accuracy. We’ll see when it gets here. 2) It was mentioned that people should...
  8. In 4th year of waiting ... beginning to question if the wait is worth it

    Random thoughts for the mix… In the Decembers email, RJ noted that employee purchases represented ā€several hundredā€ā€¦ by all accounts even if it is double that, they would have finished employee deliveries before EOY since they delivered plenty over that per the earnings call in Dec. At that...
  9. In 4th year of waiting ... beginning to question if the wait is worth it

    ?This is solid advice… though Im failing at it so far
  10. Pic request: R1T underside / undercarriage with and without Off-Road Upgrade

    I have it still configured with the off-road upgrade — just wanting to learn enough about it before committing… which is still months away for me
  11. Pic request: R1T underside / undercarriage with and without Off-Road Upgrade

    For the sake of posting this pic in this thread… highjacked the pic from another thread on the off-road upgrade
  12. Pic request: R1T underside / undercarriage with and without Off-Road Upgrade

    Yeah, Ive also heard similar from CS that it extends the protection to the edges of the car side to side beyond the side edges of the battery, but that the motor and suspension is covered as we’ve seen.. The one pic we have seen of an R1T without the off-road package still appeared to not show...
  13. Pic request: R1T underside / undercarriage with and without Off-Road Upgrade

    This… Is one of the options that really bothers me. The below description is for the R1 WITHOUT the off-road package. Every CS I speak with confirms it, but they give me nothing of value beyond getting the tow hooks with the upgrade… ā€œReinforced underbody shield Protecting the underbody of our...
  14. article: I tried to add EV chargers to my rental property. Here’s what happened

    Iā€˜m an outlier in home ownership. Our house has 100amp service (its an old hunting lodge). reservicing to 250amps or more is a large effort, so… I added a smart meter monitor and found only my hot water heater and AC using amps, the rest of the house is LED lights and propane. I also have a...
  15. Has anyone on this forum received a confirmed delivery date?

    This is a good point! That said, the email stated 920 deliveries to customers at the end of 2021. Definitely curious if customers can be defined as the service centers and if there are only a couple service centers built/open it’s seems a lot still.
  16. Has anyone on this forum received a confirmed delivery date?

    More stirring the pot… in RJs December email before the delivery estimate email came out he said there are several hundred employee orders, which are the ones that they’re testing delivery, insurance, etc with… if they delivered 920 to customers by EOY2021 and say 500 were employees (more than...
  17. Has anyone on this forum received a confirmed delivery date?

    I don’t disagree with you, but vocal or not still doesn’t change that it will be a subset of a subset. We’re still in January for a couple more days and as I understood jan/feb is what’s been coming communicated to folks HOPEFULLY receiving a delivery soon! It’s a numbers game and 10-12 could be...
  18. Has anyone on this forum received a confirmed delivery date?

    Just a data point to consider and has its holes in it, so take it as you will… This forum represents somewhere in the range of 7% of preorder holders in the wild. We will not see all the action here. It’ll look like minimal deliveries to us because the other 93% or so of preorder holders are not...
  19. Time to delivery.... if I order now.

    I have a lot of respect for all of you that have been waiting so long for these to reach your driveway!! I’m not sure what my delivery window is at this point, though I know it will be a while. ? I originally reserved an R1T Nov 2021 (I know, late to the party, but my wife finally gave the...
