I feel like they could give us simple colors in Gen 1

@@riviantrackr and I think that is what Wassym has finally confirmed will be coming. We probably won't get the same color pallet as the Gen 2 lights but it will be something.

Thank you!

Same!

Id rather they decouple the interior in the trimotor/quad motor so I don't have to get seats that look like ego waffles and keep the pricing down.

@0ttoman I love the waffle interior 😂

@@0ttoman Call me a waffle ill take it lol, I think it looks slick with the inserts in the seats very premium look in my opinion.

That’s great news! Thanks for sharing

Rivian has said it would be sold in the Gear Shop eventually

If you are ordering a Gen 2 and are on the fence, I'd recommend absolutely buying it at time of purchase. It'll probably be cheaper than the gear shop and you'll get it right away vs waiting months, or years, or maybe never for it to show up in the gear shop. If you already have a Gen 1, I'd contact Rivian once a month and keep asking.

@@davidmcottrell Yes I was more thinking in the case of buying used and the vehicle didn't have it or if the spec being ordered put the vehicle over the Federal Tax credit and this would be a way to lower the vehicle below $80K and then purchase the powered tonneau cover afterwards basically with the federal credit dollars.

Big boys

@@riviantrackr Although, I wonder if, for the Quad, will there be (an option for) performance, 305 M+S all season tires with the 22” Sport Dark wheels?

I know, this was a test run to see if people watched and enjoyed the conversation

Most likely haha

I don’t think it’s flawed at all. I would rather hold 200 kWh up until 70% than the current Large or Max which drop off due to thermals.

@@riviantrackr Its simple math here come on, you would rather sit for 30 min to get 70% of the battery back which is 189 miles of the rated 270 when you can sit for less time in a Max or Large pack to get the equivalent 189 miles of charge back? The charge rate doesn't matter as much when you have more range available. The Max pack only needs 10% to 55% to get what you will get from 10% to 80% in a standard pack. So test the speed from 10% to 55% and see how long you sit in a Max pack compared to 10% to 80% in a Standard pack. And if you want to test a Large pack go from 10% to 67% and see how long you are sitting. Also keep in mind that 10% in a Max pack is 42 miles left as per rated range where 10% in a Standard pack is 27 miles left as per rated range so when you add back the 70% in a Standard pack you are at 216 miles of range where when you add back the 189 miles to the Max pack you are at 231 miles of range. So actually you want to drive the Max pack down to 27 miles of range or about 6% and then add back the 45% to get your 189 miles of range back which would be 6% to 51% and then you are doing and exact apples to apples comparison. The more range you have the more the 10% rule becomes obsolete because 10% of 420 is much more than 10% of 270.

@@darinbrazil5496 I have road tripped with my 2019 Audi E-Tron vs. my R1T Quad Large. The E-Tron only gets 200 miles per charge, yet it beats the truck in a long road trip. Use ABRP to calculate a standard vs large pack. ABRP shows Seattle to San Fran taking 14h17m on Dual Large, or 14h3m on Dual Standard.

Perhaps if you are towing, the range would determine the battery needed. I like the idea of a battery with potentially 200 miles of range with a small travel trailer, given that unhitching each time is an issue.
