Not my pics - they came from the link. Edit away!

It's called "rapid unload mode" - you leave the back door open and punch it. :) Patent pending.

Along with some of the wrapped R1Ts we’ve seen: https://electrek.co/2020/12/13/rivians-amazon-delivery-van-prototype-spotted-in-irvine-calif/ The photos, taken Saturday, show a van that very much looks like a prototype. It’s missing the standard “camouflage”-style wrap that most prototype...

For better or worse (my vote is worse) the Amazon partnership will probably lead them to use a variety of FireOS, which is in turn a variety of Android. The key distinction is that FireOS/Android are not designed as ”real-time” operating systems that would be suitable for vehicle management...

Could be something like this I suppose: http://www.invisishade.com/ Google: lcd window shade They’ve been available for architectural use for a while. Not sure the pricing, but would seem that it would have to be cheaper in order to do large windows and such...

For what it’s worth, the shark’s fin antenna on top of the cab in the newest pictures sure looks like a satellite radio antenna. I suppose it could be a dedicated LTE antenna, but I haven’t seen that elsewhere. That argues for both SiriusXM and streaming audio being available. Honestly, I can’t...

Yup. Goes pretty far down the supply chain too - materials producers, electric utilities, etc. As distasteful as lobbying can be, I think this is a good thing that will help offset the influence of oil companies.

"Twenty-eight companies in the electric vehicle industry, including big names like Tesla, Lucid, and Rivian, have joined forces to create a new organization called ZETA, with the goal to push for 100% electric vehicle sales by 2030." Electrek The Verge

Aww, I was hoping they would just plug my address into Driver+ and the truck would deliver itself - Surprise! Delight!

I've seen some of the new synthetic polymers that are quite impressive. Supple, tough, robust colors & textures, long wearing, etc. And given that they are new & "high tech" and probably fairly involved to manufacture, they are not inexpensive. We will see what Rivian selects, but given their...

I‘m similarly somewhere between an enthusiast and an audiophile and I would be perfectly happy if the same audio engineering team responsible for the Amazon Echo devices worked on the Rivian system. They are pretty impressive - especially the ”standard“ Echo and the Echo Studio. The Echo Dots...

Is ”Vegan Leather” just a fancy way of saying “Synthetic Leather” or is it actually leather made from Vegans? :) Seriously though, the steering wheel in the LE and Adventure trim look to be wrapped - you can see the stitching in some photos. I would expect it to be the same synthetic leather as...

In some photos of the prototypes/pre-production vehicles, you can see a yellow clip on the door. It looks like a buckle on a strap over the door pocket. Regardless if that and the above is what they’re referring to, I would expect that the interior accents will be fairly subtle. E.g., the dash...

It looks to me like that refers to the pre-order gift - mine was a small marker sketch of the truck.

The screenshot you posted shows Adventure selected. You should be able to change by restarting the config.
