I am only just hitting 10k and have owned for 8 months. I completely mirror what you say. I am in love with my truck, honeymoon period is not over. Haha. I can’t believe I own it. I look for every excuse to use it. I even back into parking spaces to show off the frunk when going to a store. Thank you for posting.

I hope you don’t mind, I am going to add pics too. Maybe turn this into a positive thread for others too

There’s gotta be better mayo for sandwiches.
I’d recommend Primal Kitchen.

What a great set of photos to really show off the diverse range of usage from your trucks…..neither of your are just driving back and forth to work….you’re using the truck in the manner it was designed for. Can’t wait for mine…if I’d give up the max pack…I could have one in a month or so….but I’ll hang in for a little longer. Thanks……….

Two weeks and 1100 miles - I have never bought a nice thing for myself (other than a modest home in a great town near in to city). I love this thing - the only issue is occasionally I feel guilt that I like a thing.

But there have been many family dividends. My son went on a test run to ski a week in advance of dragging up 35 scouts - he would have never done that in our old Honda CRV. My wife and daughter love the vehicle too.

And highway driving and stop and go is just fun. So is blowing away a corvette while you are in freaking all purpose (which may or may not have happened).

12,000 for me. Photos say it all.

@seatosummit, love your photos. I especially related to the shots of gear in your truck - chairs, bikes, and everything in between. You are helping me imagine what life will be like when I finally get mine.

I should have had it by now but I delayed to get the power tonneau cover.

I see you blacked out the 21's - how have they been treating you?

I have gone back and forth between Glacial White and Limestone dozens of times. I have yet to see limestone in person, so it is so hard to judge it by photos.

Thanks for posting!

For what it's worth, I have white with the Dark 20s. I love it, but I saw a Limestone on the freeway yesterday and for the first time since owning my truck, I wished I had gone with another color. The Limestone looked so good -- something different, but also classy and rugged looking in my opinion.

Is the sandwich lady a factory installed option?

Thanks @CGM55082. It is killing me that I haven't seen one yet in person. Every picture looks different. I'm going to have to find one in the wild before confirming my color selection. I'm still waiting for them to work a redesigned power tonneau into production so I'm thinking I'll have plenty of time to find one to lay eyes on it....

Thanks! Mine is also a '73.

I gutted the 2 liter last year and swapped an electric drive train. Its very fun to drive (instant torque and ample power) but only has about 50 miles of range with the 16kWh I equipped. Fine for around town, but requires a tow whenever I need to take it somewhere far.

For my next EV conversion I want to add DCFC support.

Nice! Cool to see that 21s being utilized in sand and deep snow. I've only had a few snow experiences and nothing on sand yet.

Stoked you are enjoying your truck as much as I am and I totally support the continuation of the gratitude in this thread! I feel like there isn't enough appreciation for the enormity of what this startup pulled off in their first product.

Now that there is a nice Rivian DCFC highway all the way up to the Oregon coast, I am thinking I might need to come check out the sand...

Cheers

I really enjoyed looking at these pictures, thanks! You were not kidding about “a whole variety of different scenarios”! Way to go!

I completely agree with this sentiment. We had our T for 7 months and I am still as amazed at it (and that we actually have it) as when it was delivered.
