Had a August 2022 build R1T GW/BW/21”, just traded it back to Rivian for a July 2023 build R1S LS/BW/20”.
Initial thoughts coming from my T.
The obvious differences and ones that have been mentioned elsewhere:
Truck vs SUV (I’m already missing the gear tunnel and a bed that I can throw dirty...
Have an extra set. Never Used.
These are the non magnetic ones. 1EV had an exchange program where these could be sent back and the magnetic ones could be purchased at a discount. Not sure if they are still doing that or if you need to be the original purchaser.

Trading in my R1T for a R1S. Don't get any trade credit for accessories, so stripped them off for sale.
Wheel caps still fit tight, no visible damage. Picture is from before cleaning/wiping down.

Used R1T RMaxx Running Boards. Had them installed for about 5 months. Love the product, makes it much easier to get in and out of the vehicle...if it means anything I've got a set for the...
Just got the message to confirm my shipping address for the EVSE (which I'll be cancelling) and to also confirm my R1S config yesterday (6/20/2023).
Given that my estimate is for Oct-Dec of 2023, this seems really early. With my R1T, I got the confirm message in August and picked up end of...
Now that I've had my R1 for a few days, I've had the chance to play with several features. One of the things that I had been curious about is all of the talk about why the front camera is so bad. The following pulls from some of the stuff picked up decades ago while working on a facial...
Has anyone tried removing the panels that expose the hard lift points?
Ahead of getting my T later this month, I started thinking of what it would take to add running boards for the vertically challenged in my family.
The 6 mounting points for these panels have a 10mm bolt head, was...
Pictures over on Reddit show that OC has black speaker grills in the A pillar and not the White ones shown in the configurator. Essentially, it looks like the one from the video that RJ posted and everyone was complaining about.
Update:
Per this post the speaker grills are actual a "gun...

Great post over on Rivian Stories that has a R1S overlay with other SUVs to give a relative size comparison.

There's a guy over on Reddit that claims to be an Oct 2021 pre order that managed to get his hands on a LE simply by asking his guide if there were other configs available that would get him a quicker delivery. Apparently he was matched to a LG LE and got LE pricing (free wheel upgrades).

Article on EV effeciency that basically sums up what we already knew, even the most inefficient EVs are better than their ICE equivalent. Author states the obvious that it is a step in the right direction (e.g. EV...
I haven't seen a dedicated thread on this and haven't read through all of the hundreds of posts since I went to bed, so hopefully it isn't a duplicate.
Lets assume the following:
100k orders prior to the price increase was announced (probably less than this, but this keeps the math easy)
$15k...
I know it was a topic of debate here in other posts and I don't see that it is ever addressed directly, but at least in the version that I test drove today there was the ability to display energy usage history. It can be displayed on the driver screen by depressing the steering wheel Left...
