@Hilbe It says available spring 2026 but it’s already spring 2026, so it’s not true? Or - Another day has passed and less likely to be true that it’s available in spring 2026?

Am I the only Gen 1 holdout that hates that Rivian killed the compass if you are driving slower than 5mph? @Rivian, can we get the compass back in the Gen 1s below 5mph? It was a great feature that helped us know where to line up the truck while dispersed camping in the woods.

Fun times at the Oregon International Auto Show. Arrived this morning to find the truck trying to do it's best death scene. Displays wouldn't stay up, had trouble with the electric closures, etc. Got the infotainment to come back up briefly and got into settings to turn on show and tell and POOF ! Dead. As a door nail.... Had to survive most of the day manually opening the front doors from the inside (I had the forethought to roll the windows down). I tried to keep people from closing the frunk, gear tunnel, tail gate, but there were so many people at times eventually someone shut everything. After talking with the show detail crew that was in charge of vehicle intake, turns out the Fire Marshall told them to pull the fire loop on all the ev's.... Ummm... TOTALLY wrong thing to do. They pulled the Rivian at 8:09a and by the time I got there at 9:30a it was toast. Was finally able to get the folks running the show to allow Rivian to come in and fix it. The 12v was so dead, they had to replace it. Jumping it wasn't enough. And in the Gen 2, that requires removing the passenger seat, oh joy. The Tesla sitting next to us had the same issue. The Tesla tech had to replace the 12v battery, but when he was done, the vehicle was throwing all sorts of errors it shouldn't have. The Rivian guys were done and gone and the poor Tesla tech was still there. SOoooo, we are planning a lunch and learn between the Fire Marshalls office and Rivian Service so they can learn how to disable a vehicle without disabling a vehicle.... Obviously, they were bagging it off of their procedure for ICE vehicles, but for many EV's that's a death sentence. We've not had these issues the past 3 years... Have we digressed????

@Hilbe Considering it has built in fans, trick power via the crossbars, lights, outlets, a movie screen, projector, more real estate than most RTTs, and Rivian’s name on it, it’s going to cost most than $7,000.

@ProtoKyle6 @Hilbe Not just towing…bike racks, gear racks, etc will all be in the way and potentially keep you too far away from the charger…

@LivingInKaos @Hilbe Exactly. Am I reading the room wrong in that others think this is a new color?? This is a name change of Launch Green to Rivian green and essentially allowing people to go to their neighborhood paint store to buy a gallon.

@Mikekantorski The correct is the front passenger. Now you’ll have a hard time charging if you carry multiple bikes on a a Kuat or 1up.

This is the correct charging port placement. And it kills me that Rivian gave in to changing it.
