Hi there,
I just pre-ordered a Rivian R1T! I've been excited about it ever since it was announced. They really marketed it to me perfectly, haha.

My last two purchased cars are a Chevy Volt (which I have off-roaded on dirt roads more times than I would have liked) and a Subaru Forester - so a Rivian makes sense for me.

Same here, but I'm waiting for the R1S [ 2 large dogs] and I dont need the bed. Plus, the shorter wheel base and aerodynamics appeal to me a bit more. I'll prob trade in my Forester for it.

Nice! I may end up changing my mind and be getting the R1S instead, because it would fit in my garage a little easier.

Welcome to the forum @gt2001! Have you given any thought about which battery pack you'll order?

 

[gt2001]

Thanks! Yes, I'm going to go with the 180 pack to get the most range possible. If I go with the R1S, I'm okay to lose the 3rd row seats as I believe the max for people in a car on a road trip should be 4 persons and all their gear.

@gt2001 Good call. The 3rd row looks small and uncomfortable for the average adult anyways. A growing family that absolutely needs it, is probably one of the main target audiences from what I can tell. At least folded down you still have reasonable cargo space.

Oh man...I hope the production is different from this prototype. I was really hoping for a completely flat floor. I thought the 3rd row would fold flat to match the very back cargo compartment. In fact, that’s why I thought they couldn’t do 7 seat and the extra battery pack...it was because those seats would fold into where the batteries would be place. Or is this the 7 seater AND the extra battery pack? If that’s the case, this would be an OK compromise.
