As we embark on this journey together, week after week, we promise to delve deep into the realms of the latest news, awe-inspiring events, and invaluable information surrounding the ever-evolving world of Rivian. Brace yourself for an unparalleled experience as we uncover the most intriguing happenings within the realm of Rivian, leaving no stone unturned.
News
It was a very light week of news this week. The biggest news of the week was Rivian’s newest promotion— Rivian is offering US and Canada-based customers the opportunity to shop available R1T and R1S protected in STEALTH, at no extra cost.
What is Stealth?
This unique self-healing surface protection film will safeguard your Rivian in a durable satin sheen against rock chips, scratches, and environmental debris found on and off- road. With enhanced visual appeal, and industry-leading protection, XPEL STEALTH offers a two-in-one solution for preserving a vehicle's appearance and condition.
STEALTH provides a subtle, satin appearance that adds a personalized touch to the exterior of your Rivian. Stand out from the crowd and turn heads wherever you go while navigating rugged terrain or cruising the streets. The film's slick satin finish hides light dust and water spots from spoiling the clean contemporary lines of the Rivian R1T and R1S. HUH?
This can be used on in-stock Rivian’s from the R1Shop and sorting by Stealth wrap.

This week RJ shared on X that they are actively working on their phone charging issues that are well known to current R1 owners.

Poll of the Week
Last week’s poll received nearly 150 votes and 12% of people thought less than 100,000 reservations for the R2. 53% of people guessed between 100,000 and 150,000 reservations while 35% of people guessed over 150,000 reservations.
For anyone on X who is involved with the weekly Rivian space there is a poll out now for what is the best day for the weekly space. It is currently on Friday evenings but last week was held on Sunday due to the event in Normal, IL. Chad has a poll out now. Feel free to vote and let him know what your thoughts are.
We have really enjoyed hosting the weekly Rivian space and our community is growing quickly. We want to make it easy for everyone to participate! We've heard your feedback and would like to know which day(s) work best for you? These usually start 6 PM PT/9 PM ET.
