It would be interesting to get a screen shot of the charge curve from the app.Saw as high as 305 but didn't get a picture.
Most of the people charging at the station were not Rivians. It did error out at some point on my charge though, not sure what the deal was. Stopped with the truck at 56%. No issues after another session.
It is an impressive truck but it won't fit in my garage. It won't fit in many people's garage. That is a deal breaker for me.
This....I know it's off topic from the original post but Rivian losing their sell of regulatory credits has to put a damper in the plans. I know they were already factoring in losing the EV tax credit for customers but if I recall, the sell of regulatory credits has been a major contributor to them being profitable last few quarters.
I sold my R1T quad for a Sierra Denali EV and you can clearly see that GM is a well established machine. R1T is like a VW GTI as the Denali is a Mercedes S series... different, but I prefer the Mercedes where I am in life. Also Sierra at full battery says 480 miles and I get 480 at 75MPH... I thought I did not have range anxiety with the R1T, but an after the Sierra, whenever I get into my wife's quad R1S, I have huge anxiety lol. The R1T though, I miss the acceleration and the handling. Everything else the Sierra is vastly superior.
The one downside of Rivian's "trailer stalls" - many of them are absolutely designed solely to accommodate Rivians with the charge port at the driver's front. If the charge port is in the back, having to "nose-in-park" to charge means the trailer stall is useless. (At that station, I'm betting the leftmost was meant to be the "trailer stall".) They do have quite a few locations with proper pull-through that should work on a rear-port, but even some of those assume your nose will be at the location of the dispenser, so you'd end up pulled *FORWARD* into an aisle/road with a rear-port vehicle; and if the port was rear passenger's side? forget it. (Like Rivian's original design for the R2/R3.)Mackinaw City. A bit busier here and no trailer pull through.
Nice and congrats on the new GM product. One thing with Rivian, don't forget it's off road cred which the Sierra EV does not have. I know it's a moot point for many but also what draws folks to the Rivian brand.
You'd be surprised, I was in Georgia clay mud and what I can tell you is that in mud, the Sierra may have a slight advantage from the 4 wheel steer. I didn't think much of it, until I saw how much better control I had and the small amount of rear wiggle you have from steering actually breaks free. Additionally, the R1T I had did bog down even with traction control off, it didn't give me full throttle... the Sierra does give me full throttle so you can power through. The torque from standstill is significantly better on the Sierra as well. What I don't know though is how good it is in ruts and rock crawl since it only has two motors. The Rivian though has much better size to offload and the Sierra weighs too much too for any off-road... If I could have both, I would...
