I love the name "Broccoli" for a truck. I will guess that he is either Forest or Launch Green. Brian

Yes, twenty years ago versus now. Brian

Nice job, good service. Thank you for posting this. Brian

We have not had any Guide contact since Factory Delivery day a year ago. We have dealt with Customer Service once regarding a PAAK issue. Brian

Numbers 2 and 4 are regular occurrences with Opal (our R1T). Both are intermittent and happen as the mood strikes her. She also has a problem telling SuEllyn and I apart as far as which one of us is about to drive her. Since Opal is otherwise so good, we just deal with her gremlins. Brian

Wow. Simple answer to this dilemma. Just buy a Ford or Chevrolet. They might make it into next week without going under. Brian

We love Opal (our R1T) and will continue to enjoy her. We have owned an orphan vehicle before. We owned a DeLorean for thirty-one years. We never had trouble getting parts or finding people to work on it. Only about eight thousand DeLoreans were produced. We ultimately sold our DeLorean for more...

We don't have the new update yet either. We are expecting it soon. We did get the 2.8 update to the phone app. Brian

There are still too many service deserts in the Rivian landscape. Rivian needs to work now to have service capabilities sufficient to handle production of the R2. Brian

I could foresee the production of the original Explore version which they nixed at the last minute when R1T production began. At that point, the Explore version stickered at $5,000 less than the Adventure version. This was prior to the R1S entering the picture. I would also love to see them go...

We are fortunate in that we don't have any big trips planned with Opal (our R1T) in the near future. We are hopeful that we receive one of the adapters by the end of the summer. Brian

Rivian really needs to pay more attention to their service model. If they are able to start selling the R2 and they have not greatly expanded their service and repair locations and capabilities, the Rivian dream may implode before their eyes. Brian

I am leaning toward leaving well enough alone and monitoring tread wear. Brian

We have an R1T that now has almost 7,000 miles on it. We are running the 21" Pirelli road tires on the OEM Rivian wheels. Most of our driving is local in a somewhat rural area. I have been inspecting the tires on a regular basis. All are showing 7/32" tread depth. There is no sign of any...

Opal (our R1T) has always been a little difficult to tightly close the last door. It is the pressure inside the vehicle that causes this situation. Brian

I also have the tri-fold Lomax tonneau cover. it is easy to use, very well made, any is watertight. I can readily access the spare tire. My spare is installed face up so that I can occasionally check the tire pressure, I do not bolt my spare down. Brian

I'm afraid that I would have told the Teslian to go ahead and, "call the Police, the number is 911, do you want me to write that down for you?" Brian

The EV Silverado is an interesting vehicle but is severely limited for trailer towing. Our 25' Airstream travel trailer has a tongue weight of 950#. The payload of the EV Silverado is a mere 1300#. That means that after SuEllyn and I get in the truck, we could handle only about 100# of...

We bought one of the tri-fold tonneau covers from Agricover. This is the Lomax rigid cover. We have had it on Opal for the last month. It is very well made, easy to install, and works very well. It has been through a number of Florida thunderstorms and our automatic car wash. It has remained...

Great pictures all !!! I love seeing these. The first thing in the morning that I do is check the overnight pictures. Please keep them coming. Here is another one of Opal relaxing at home. Brian
