Hi All,

Just came across this forum and am glad to see a community starting to build. I've placed my deposit and can't wait for the first units to start rolling off the line.

Looking forward to lots of useful information, news, and commentary here!

Cheers,

Tim

Welcome to the forum @oak202
How much was your deposit and did they give you a welcome package or anything special?

 

[oak202]

$1000 USD, no welcome package (which seems a bit odd), but we did receive a nice rendering with a letter a couple months after the fact.

If you go on their website, there is a "pre-order" button down on the right, after you select a model.

Glad to have you aboard @oak202! Hopefully they'll send you more cool stuff as they get closer to launch date and everything goes smooth for you.

Which Rivian are you looking to get? the R1T or the R1S?

@oak202
that's indeed odd given the fact the typical welcome package stuff is the EASIEST to get done. what does it take to outsource apparel, documents, and even a scale model of our cars. Not much.

Agreed . . . I have been rather disappointed in the lack of Marketing to people that put down a deposit, but I try to convince myself it's because they are focusing on getting it done LOL!

I went with the truck . . . been keeping my eye on these "show & tell" promo/driving events they have been hosting. Hopefully they'll have one close enough to me that I can justify attending. I'd really like to get behind the wheel, and offroad, to put it through some paces

Good choice.
I'm likely to go for the truck as well but hoping to get a tonneau cover to make it SUV-like when required. Enclosed cargo space does come in handy at times.

My biggest concern with those is how theft proof they'll be. I know F-150 and Silverado guys who had break-in's.

The fact that the cover extends and retracts from the back of the truck should help a lot with security.

How theft-proof it is still concerns me. We'll never know till someone assesses it or breaks in.

Yeah that very true, I hope it's a big thing that gets covered as they start production.

FORTUNATELY if its a thieves dream, the gear tunnel can be our back up.

Tons of space:
