I've been considering trading in my early gen 1 R1T QM. I had one of the first Rivian's in the small town I live in. This small town also happens to be right outside of Palo Alto in the heart of Silicon Valley so probably not the best example of small town America where EVs are a novelty...In...

I thought the new 20” wheels looked pretty good in person when I saw them on a wrapped R1S at the Palo Alto office a month or so ago. Mind I drive a compass yellow R1T with 20” AT brights so my taste is…ummm...unique.

This wheel design looks pretty nice in person. This particular truck has been bouncing around the Palo Alto area for the last couple weeks; I've seen it a handful of times....280, 84 heading up to skyline, sitting in the PA office lot. The wrap is pretty cool as well....

They were willing to ship the vehicle to your local SC? When I reached out to a guide they said no shipping. If they will ship - was the cost included in the price?

CY with ocean coast is a great look. If it wasn’t for my messy young children, dogs, and dirt intensive hobbies we probably would have ended up with the same combo.

There was a point where that’s exactly what we had spec’d…but after seeing both the green and black interiors in person decided to switch to black. Living just outside of the Stanford campus there’s already a lot of Rivian’s around and there’s probably only going to be more. I’m only aware of...

So my CY R1T w/ AT brights just got a little less common…

I stoped using Paak after the truck locked itself with my phone and keycard inside it. This was months ago...and in the school drop off line. Luckily no one noticed the bright yellow Rivian blocking the line. Had to call my wife (using a friends phone) to come bring the key fob...which I've been...

I had a fairly bare bones Toyota 4runner SR5 during my first service. It served its purpose of a solid workhorse having to do several runs to get sand bags during a winter storm. Just dropped my truck off today for service at the new (to me) San Jose service center. They were going to offer me...

The Evo is awesome. The hardtail is technically the faster bike of the two at my local trails (skeggs for any of you Bay Area folks)…but the Evo is a lot more fun...especially if you venture to some of the more “alternative“ trails. Even with full XTR and lots of gold squishy bits the Evo is a...

Oh, I should have included this photo as well. We lost power for +52hrs last week. Powered this setup below (wahoo+fan) with the 120v plugs in the bed of the Rivian….because priorities (I also powered the gas furnace, gas w/h, and a full size fridge)

I’m a cross country weenie…hardtail is generally my go to bike. Specialized Epic HT S-works. Replaced the brain with the new race day damper. Specialized Epic Evo Pro. Old Cannondale SuperX hi-mod disc: Cannondale SuperSix Evo Dura-Ace: I recently caught the gravel bug…probably going to...

This is basically what I did. The truck has 2 outlets in the bed. I ran one extension cord direct to the fridge since I figured this was the biggest load. The other was a power strip where I daisy chained 2 separate cords to the w/h, furnace, and one additional for small device charging. Not...

Seems about in line with what we experience, 7-8% a day. We didn’t power any lamps which probably helped. Mind the one issue of powering your house with the truck is…you can’t real use the truck to drive anywhere. My wife had our other vehicle so I ended up walking to work both days, luckily...

We just went through a similar experience up here in the Bay Area. We had no power for 52hrs, which was fun. We've never been without power for more than 4hrs in the previous 14yrs we've lived here, we're very much in an urban developed area and not on the fringe. Using the two 120v outlets in...

As someone who came from a 2018 Volvo V90 inscription I will second the Volvo seats/interior being better. The Volvo seats used on the upper trim inscription and R-design models are probably some of the best seats available in any vehicle. Current Volvo interiors are pretty darn fantastic as...

Yes, for the R1T that we've had since early November. We more or less did this exercise when they initially did the price-hike. There really isn't a ton of alternatives if you want an EV. I considered an iX, Taycan cross turismo or XC90 recharge. It quickly became clear the alternatives aren't...

We have matching cars! Well matching assuming that’s a black mountain interior color I see. Compass yellow with 20” AT brights has got to be one of the rarer combos out there. I based my color/wheel combo off one of my Dream cars as a teenager…a Dakar yellow BMW E36 with style 24 wheels:

I recently made an appointment for some minor stuff at the South San Francisco SC and they asked if I’d prefer to go to SF or San Jose, this being for the end of this month. I’m still closer to SF but was unaware they were opening another SC in San Jose. As others have mentioned the local EV...

Yellow Looks good in the desert. Hoping to one day use those chargers in Barstow...my in-laws have a place in Boulder City NV that I usually visit once or twice a year.
