Completely random question, I know, but...
Does anybody happen to have a Brompton and can answer whether a folded Brompton can fit in the frunk? Or maybe in the spare tire storage compartment of an R1S?
Starting at the end of July my commute will change due to transit stuff. I'm considering...

preorder for $200, ships starting in January. I’ll wait for Rivian to provide me with one, but for those who might want 2 or who don’t want...
What tools does everyone here have in their Rivian 1) at all times and 2) extra for a road trip? Screwdrivers? hammer? Wrenches? Pliers? Pry bar?
What size wrenches, sockets, and bits are most essential for a Rivian?
Bonus question: what do you keep the car tools in?
I’ve been updating my...
Just got an email that EVGo is now charging by kWh in GA instead of the previous time-based charge. It will also have variable rates based on day and time of day. I guess that means GA's new law has taken affect to permit this. More and more states will be moving this direction.
Also means...
For the last few years, I've started collecting national park and trail patches. They're all the classic sew/iron patches. I've been planning to stitch them onto a duffle or tote bag, but starting thinking it might be fun to have them somewhere in my R1S.
My first thought is to add some loop...
I'm going through my 8 steps and want to make sure I'm prepared for the payment step once I get a delivery appointment. Could be next week, according to my guide.
I don't have all of the funds in a single account, and would prefer to make a split payment with some coming from 2 different...
Just picked an R1S from the Shop yesterday. Will need an electrician to install a charger in my garage at some point in the next month or two. Anybody have recommendations for a company or individual they used who did quality work for a fair price (doesn't need to be the cheapest, just needs to...
Great location for a Waypoint!

Governor Kemp there for the event.
Guess I'll have something else to look forward to once I get my Rivian: free charging at some state parks, while I hike or picnic!
For the super nerdy people in the room, here's the FHWA minimum standard rule for NEVI and other federal funds:

And here are some news stories from the Joint Office, including the one about the new rule as well...
I hadn't seen this until now, but FHWA announced the Round 6 EV corridor designations. This is important because corridor designation is part of the process for states to get federal funds (including those from the bipartisan infrastructure law's NEVI program). The "ready" corridors already meet...
I sent a feature suggestion to Plugshare to add the RAN and Rivian Waypoints as "networks" that can be filtered like they have for EA, EVGo, Tesla Superchargers and Tesla Destination chargers, among others. Here's their, IMO, disappointing response:
The link below is to a Google Map that I have created with 3 layers. It is pretty raw right now, so I'll put all the information about it first. The link should stay good even as I try to polish things up over time.
I also can't promise that it will always be up to date. If Rivian changes...
