Could be the Slate Grey color previewed years ago but never made production? From: New Rivian colors EVERGREEN and SLATE revealed by RJ on "Ask Rivian" segment (watch inside)

Someone designed and shared these 3D print drink coasters. :clap: https://www.printables.com/model/1291213-rivian-wheel-coasters "A series of drink coasters based on the OEM Rivian wheel designs. All coasters are 110mm in diameter and approximately 5mm thick. There is a hole on the backside...

Cool explanation of how they decide on colors and interior design. I'd say they hit their design goal on those aspects.

I think focusing on mobile service and repairs is the way to go for Rivian. I know Tesla owners view it as a sort of concierge service and so handling most service/repairs via at-home/office visits will actually add to the Rivian ownership experience as something premium, which is the segment...

What's most curious to me is will demand for EV pickups actually meet the supply in the next couple of years as all these options hit the market. I can think of 5-6 EV pickups already announced. Of course some of them will be nothing but vaporware but even if 4-5 hit the market, that's a lot.

December 24, 2018 as an early early Christmas gift to myself :)

I hope they are testing out different steering wheels, given the state of the interior I'll withhold judgment until later prototypes. I'm glad to finally see this in another color!

Thinking of making the drive down for the event. But that date is a week before the NY show actually starts, would have been nice to attend the event and NY show on the same trip.

So Rivian and Tesla both use so called skateboard chassis. They look and sound very similar with both housing the battery packs, wheels, suspension, brakes, and motors. Does Rivian's skateboard have any improvements or advantages?

I hope one of them is a halo sports car to directly compete with the upcoming Tesla Roadster. Rivian should have the volume side covered with the truck and SUV models so they should make an outright sports car to showcase the company's design and engineering abilities and to serve as a halo...

Any cold weather owners of EVs out there that can share real world experience in reduced battery performance and range due to cold weather and temperature? Say at 32 degrees and below... I'd like to know what to expect in the wintertime - if it's a huge difference to the summertime for example.

Servicing your Rivian at a GM (Cadillac or Chevy) service center?! Besides the fact that GM service centers are inept, I doubt many Rivian owners would be happy having to bring their vehicles into another brand's service centers. If I'm paying$70-90k for a car I want to have a certain ownership...

R1T obviously doesn't have any competition if it came out today but the R1S being a 7 seat electric SUV will compete directly with the Model X. Based on what Scaringe has said about expected pricing though, it will beat the Model X on pricing. @Ricky35 made this post breaking it down -- the...

Totally agree with this. Creating a brand and culture is key for a startup IMO. Auto manufacturing is already a tough business, and even more so for new startup manufacturers. Just look at Tesla and how long it's taken them to have a single quarter of profit. If you don't have a culture and...

Nice Q&A. Wish he talked about the additional trunks and usable plugs more. If they offer a good bed cap / topper for the R1T, that'd give it the best of both worlds in terms of cargo space but also being weather sealed / climate controlled. Plus I like how they can change up the look of a...

Porsche recently announced 3 years free fast charging for the upcoming Taycan EV and Tesla has offered free unlimited supercharging for certain periods/models in the past (though that has now ended). Rivian hasn't announced anything yet but what are the chances they'll offer some kind of free...

Mmmm donuts...

Hope you're right. That could definitely help get real truck enthusiasts on board. Rivian could help that cause by offering schematics (or even access to the truck/SUV) to any aftermarket parts manufacturers before the vehicle is even released. That's how certain vehicles like Jeeps often enjoy...

Think there'll be much of an aftermarket for the R1T pickup? There's never been an electric pickup truck so there's no precedent to help answer this question but I've always been impressed at the breadth of aftermarket parts and accessories available for pickup trucks. I'll admit part of the...

First I've seen the roof rack attached! It's nice and sleek as I've hoped. You guys think the Rally Rivian model will be called the R1R?
