Did my install today. Took about 4-hours total, but that was with a 30-45 min gap where I tore apart my garage looking for a larger socket wrench that would give me enough leverage to break the gallon of Loctite that Rivian decided to use on the seat bolts. Some lessons I learned along the way...

Truck has been sold to a forum member. Thanks for all the interest! It’s going to a good home.

Yes. Truck is still available until mid-next week.

Truck will be going to a dealership mid-next week if there are no takers. You know they’ll price this thing at $85k-$90k when they get their mitts on it. Now’s the time.

Swapping over to an R1S so my beautiful R1T must find a new home. This build will run you over $107k new from Rivian. Grab this one for a fraction of that cost. 2025 Tri-Motor El Cap Granite (discontinued) Slate Sky interior ($3k option) 22” sport dark wheels Blackout package Camp Speaker...

that was my thought too. I had no idea what it was until I googled it in the parking lot. Instantly thought "who would buy this." Only real answer I could come up with was an on-premises work truck like a ranch. I thought the most interesting thing was simply the fact that it existed.

In Dallas off Forest & 75 where the old Academy Sports was. Surprisingly good looking from a distance, but once you get close to it, the whole "Made in China" aspect really shows itself. No idea who would buy one of these things, but was interesting to see them in the wild.

Best bet is to buy a used R1T that already has a working power tonneau. Get the truck now, save some money, get the tonneau, bob’s your uncle.

Is there even a way to transfer a reservation anymore?

Yeah, I'm about to just order one, but the site is saying "order now for 2024 delivery". Given the number of R1Ss I'm seeing for sale, it's clear tons of people just went through with their orders to flip them. Figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. If the right combo shows up for sale I very well...

That really does look fantastic. Mind me asking when you ordered? I'm sure I'll ultimately end up ordering one, but sounds like orders are a year out at this point. (hence considering a trade or buying private party if the right one comes up)

Currently own a red 2021 Model S Plaid with Cream and Carbon Fiber interior. 9k miles. Full PPF wrap and tinted windows. Considering ordering a blue R1S to replace it. Just getting the itch for something different. Maybe a longshot, but thought I'd see if anyone might be interested in a Plaid...

We can disagree on that. I’d say most EVs are fast, but that doesn’t make them sports cars.

Heh, yeah, tell me about it. Luckily we’re pretty close to the front of the line for the new S and we’re in no hurry. There’s one thing I’ve learned, electric cars and patiently waiting go hand in hand.

I have two cars, a Porsche 911 for weekend fun and a Wrangler Rubicon for daily driving and occasional off-road adventuring. I REALLY want an EV. Problem is, said EV needs to replace one of the existing cars. There are no electric sports cars so finding a suitable replacement for my jeep is...

I think people saying Wrangler competitor are spot on, and as a wrangler owner, I’d welcome it. So, thus far we have Wrangler competitor and Rally Crossover. I would add a small-mid-sized SUV to the list marketed to be a smaller sized version of the wrangler competitor. (Much like Ford’s Bronco...

Dallas checking in! Placed my order for Max Range R1T in Rivian Blue on April 24, 2021. I’m super curious to find out some information on estimated delivery timing. I have no idea if I should expect first half of next year, second half, or even 2023. I’m itching for an EV and have a...

I wouldn’t think so either, but perhaps the locations of their showrooms are a good indication. I would expect Rivian to want their vehicles driving around the streets of the city where they have showrooms.

Not sure why you find it funny. Not everyone has been interested in Rivian for a year or longer. Some, like me, are new to Rivian and are excited about their recently placed order. When you come to this forum for information and community around your upcoming car this thread is one of two that...
