RAD! Rivian Adventure Department officially launched! RAD R2, R1S, R1T unveiled

[Administrator]

The Rivian Adventure Department is officially here! What started as an internal team testing our vehicles at the edge of the world is now a specialized crew of engineers and designers obsessed with finding the absolute limit. The further we go, the more we learn, and the smarter and more capable your Rivian becomes. Oh, and we get to have a bunch of fun along the way.

Dear Rivian, why do your employees get to have all the fun??

 

[UnsungZero_OldTimeAdMan]

I'd love to see a R3X Dakar variant.

 

[Mellowyellow]

Oh man these are so hot right now

 

[DuoRivians]

Does this mean we get suspension that won’t break easily?

Best livery! I’ve seen this before when they did Pike’s Peak.

That R2 wrap is totally… uh…. RAD!

 

[Nixapatfan]

So what have they actually delivered or plan to deliver other than RAD tuner on new quad? Would be nice if they actually started selling upgrade parts like tie rods, lift kits, bigger tires, rock sliders, winches, lighting and etc.

I want to hear more about the Rivian Reliability Department.

 

[SDH]

Maybe its just marketing or maybe its a genuine skunk works thats going to test a bunch of cool stuff that'll hopefully filter down to the cars themselves. Who knows.

I like the idea of 'specials' ... like the Porsche 911 Dakar or the Lambo Sterrato. \

Spend less on self driving and more on 'actual driving'!!
