Colorado Checking In

I think it depends on whether you need to use the friction brakes in conserve mode. If so, that means that there is extra energy that you could recover through regen, but are limited at a lower level. If you then drop into all purpose and don't need the friction brakes, you should be gaining more energy.

Stopped over this morning. 3 R1S's, but all we're inside. LG, El cap, and blue.

The LG one is parked right by the window, so you can get a pretty decent look if you're interested.

two weeks ago we changed our configuration to what Rivian was actively building and getting our R1T today. Could have received sooner but a business trip got in the way! Bye bye max pack but wanted a guaranteed tax credit. Cya on the road

oct 21 order
Silver, FE, 21s, no spare (yet)
eventually plan for 20s during winter but no hurry while aftermarket catches up.

this is good news because our family has 2 preorders one Oct 2021 and one Dec 2021 so maybe we are close!

Yeah, I was there yesterday. First time I've seen an R1S in person - even if it had to be through a plate of glass.....with a lot of sun glare. Did my best to capture a couple pics.

Picking up my R1T on Friday! Just scheduled in the app. I don't even want to work this week now!

Why bother working, just sleep at the Denver service center!

What a great idea!

Even better... if I didn't have to travel for work tomorrow until Thursday

If anybody is interested in a peek at the new Ocean Coast, I swung by the Denver service center on the way home this afternoon and they had 2-3 trucks with OC interiors in the lot.

How does it look? I had that initially in my R1S config, but changed due to the delay that it was going to cause. ;-) I think the BM grew on me tho

I like it a lot. I wish it was just a tad darker shade of grey but it looks really clean. It does look like they are going with black speaker grills on the light headliner though (same as the video RJ posted last week). Hopefully they swap in color matched speaker grill covers soon.

I have an El Cap Granite R1T order, which I think will look really good with the OC interior.

I am not too concerned about being able to clean the material of spills (I have a 6 yr old and a dog), but I can't tell if if the OC vs BM will show scratches more or less from the dog. At least both have the same wood trim on the doors which still may get scratched up but is not a variable to consider.

Was at the service center yesterday and took a pic of one of the two R1S' I saw inside, looked very nice. I have a S on order and still have no idea what exterior color to go with...interior will for sure be the "new" Ocean Coast with the dark wood - that is awesome.

They canceled my pickup for tomorrow… ?

That stinks. Any idea of what the issue is?

Not sure yet, waiting to hear from the person at the service center... May just ride over there and see if I can see it or talk to folks there ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Super bummed though, I was so ready to pick it up tomorrow.

She said there's a defect in the paint on one of the doors. I asked if it's a small area of paint and whether or not it's critical to be resolved prior to delivery in case I can have that resolved post-delivery to resume with tomorrow... Also stated that I'm not thinking with my brain at the moment and to let me know if that's a terrible idea ?
