  1. Real Rivian Photos & Videos

    This Reddit thread claims this one was spotted outside Half Moon Bay, CA (On the coast in the S.F. Bay Area for those not in the know)
  2. (Bed) size matters

    I asked this on the chat today. Sadly, it wasn't a detail they were willing to share. The direct response I got was:
  3. Software and Rivian App wishlist

    First, by definition, *all of these* are proprietary. The fact that Amazon spends resources (both technical and marketing) to make sure Alexa is available everywhere doesn't make it *ANY* less proprietary than CarPlay and Android Auto. It's not an open standard that anybody could implement. It's...
  4. Software and Rivian App wishlist

    ... Does your Tesla... *NOT* have cupholders? We have 3 or 4 up front, depending on how we configure the console. 2 in the middle. And I *think* there's some in the back row, but we haven't had those seats up for over a year.
  5. What are you going to pull / tow with your R1T?

    The odds I'll ever find myself in Pensacola are low. But if I do, you can be damned sure I'll be seeking out your trailer.
  6. R1T idle/ac time estimate(s)

    The guidance from Tesla in Model S/X is "leaving the AC on full blast costs you 5 miles of range per hour" Averaging between S and X that implies about a 1.5kw power draw for the compressor. In practice, if you're parked - especially in the shade - and set a reasonable temperature, it should...
  7. Tire size, impact on towing???

    On the R1T/R1S, yes. In my post I was explicitly talking about the Model X.
  8. Tire size, impact on towing???

    Model X owner chiming in. Chose the 20" wheels. (On the Model X) The overall tire diameter on the 22" is a *bit larger* than the 20"s, which negatively affects range. The sidewall on the 22" is shorter, making it a harsher ride quality. AFAIK, the load roading on the OEM 22" tires is the...
  9. Software and Rivian App wishlist

    Not useful for lane changes. Great for slow speed navigation of tight places (e.g. parking lot, or my driveway into my backyard). Or making a right turn at a stop sign/red light in an urban environment, where you might have bicycles/pedistrian traffic come up on you while you're focusing on...
  10. Lucid Factory Complete - shares assembly line photos

    They're 2 years older than Rivian, and have been out of stealth with their first product(s) for a year longer than Rivian has. I'd hope, for their sake, that they're farther along. I also hope for everyone that they succeed, as more major players in the EV market is a good thing. But since I...
  11. R1T accessories & options wish list.

    Unless Rivian offers it themselves (which may eventually happen since they've alluded to the camp kitchen's modular design that can be adapted), I actually want an aftermarket "gear tunnel railing platform" designed to make it easy to construct my own powered, slide-out gear tunnel accessories.
  12. Software and Rivian App wishlist

    The feature is formally called "CarPlay" with no space, but yes I could've explicitly pointed out "Apple" :)
  13. Rivian Camp Kitchen won't prevent use of gear tunnel

    This was fairly well known, right? That the camp kitchen was easily removable and storable when you didn't need it? First I've heard of the cover, though! Nice. $5k is still too steep for us for something we'd use about once a year.
  14. Software and Rivian App wishlist

    Have had our Model X for 3.5 years. They've steadily added and tweaked features since the day we got it. Auto pilot improvements are great for the rare times I use AP, but I won't miss them in the Rivian if it falls behind. Smart summon in the app is a fun party trick, but I've never used it in...
  15. What We Know - Collecting Information Directly From Rivian

    This is a good point, but probably won't come up much in practice at the 275/60R20 size Everything at Costco in the 275/60R20 size, for example, has a load index of at least 114, which is good for 2601lbs. I'm not sure what the load index is on the OEM Pirellis but I'd wager that's the...
  16. What We Know - Collecting Information Directly From Rivian

    This is exactly what I'm doing. I have the 20"s configured, which come with 275/65R20 tires. I'll immediately set those tires aside and put 275/60R20 all-seasons on. 275/60R20 is almost exactly the same circumference as the 275/55R21 they say maximize range. So as long as you find a...
  17. Rivian Launches New Website: Updated Prices, Launch Edition, Timing, Colors and More!

    I configured my 400+ R1T Monday when the configurator went live. I think many of us did. Deliveries of those 400+ R1Ts start Jan 2022, depending on where you were in the preorder queue of course. That's what I'm saying - I don't think there will be any other electric truck with a 400+mi range...
  18. R1T bed and Tonneau cover concerns

    This is explicitly covered on the website:
  19. What We Know - Collecting Information Directly From Rivian

    Wheel bolt pattern, from a chat with Justin just now: > All Rivian vehicles use the same bolt pattern, (5x5.5) and swapping the tires will not be an issue.
  20. Model (R1S or R1T) and delivery time frame

    Ah I completely misread - I thought the claim was "25% of R1T deposits wanted an LE and couldn't get one" Re-reading, I have no idea why I thought that ?
