Thanks for your reply! I noticed that Tom Moloughney, who is also a good reviewer, got 254 miles. I think everything was the same but wind and temperature. Tom says he is going to rerun the test under more favorable conditions. My concern is that the range test results vary for all kinds of...

Any owner group or club up for a simple test? The recent 70 mph range test by Alex on Autos has me thinking. He tested on the 21 inch wheels and got 338 miles. Other tests I have seen on the 20 inch wheels have been well under 300 miles. Was this due to the wheels, the fact he ran in conserve...

So, did anyone take their drive yet? Where did you drive? How many trucks were at the service center?

Interesting Video. The viewer shouldn't forget that this is primarily an advertisement for their consulting work. They sell consulting to manufacturers to improve the manufacturability of vehicle designs. Of course they are going to point out places where design choices could lead to more...

Does bundling the charger with the R1T affect the federal tax benefit for charger installation? Has anyone asked to have the charger billed in a separate transaction from the truck while keeping their early reservation holder pricing?

Interesting article in Barron's today. They point out that all of the startup EV manufacturers are declining, because it is going to be difficult to raise cash in the near future. " The most cash, on an absolute basis, belongs to Rivian. The company ended 2021 with more than $18 billion. The...

Interesting thread. My question is whether anyone has tried powering a chest freezer or large refrigerator using the Rivian. If we have a multi-day power outage, I'd like to keep the contents of my freezer from thawing out. I'd also like to drive over to my friend's house and save their frozen...

Tesla might open up their superchargers (DC fast charging) to non-Tesla vehicles in the future. They have already done this to a very limited extent in Europe. The adapters being discussed here are for level 2 chargers. These are the type of slow chargers that get installed for free use at...

Tesla compatible chargers seem to be more abundant than J1772 chargers at the hotels I have checked. Has anyone tried using one of the adapters that would allow access to the Tesla level 2 chargers for their R1T? Some vehicles seem to have issues with fitting the adapters.

My i3 is a pure EV, but with the longest range battery. (160miles) I like the reliability aspect of a pure EV. To bring this back to Rivian country, my R1T is supposed to show up in Q4. I thought maybe Rivian could build some sand dunes or a rock pile around the charger. Then only 4WD EVs could...

The BMW i3 is my car. I pulled into the empty spot thinking I would be able to charge. Turns out all 4 chargers were taken, one by the illegally parked Kia. I left as soon as I finished taking the pictures. I was actually also bothered by the X5 plug-in hybrid taking up a charger that could be...

I'd like to understand if the roof top racks are going to work for carrying my long sea kayaks. Could someone tell me how far it is from the front tow hooks to the front roof rail, and how far apart the rails can be mounted if they are on top of the cab? Thanks in advance!

The first Waypoint Charger I've seen is in Fort Mason in San Francisco. It provides level 2 charging for four cars. Parking is free, as is charging. Charging is requested to be limited to 4 hours. Your chance of finding one of these chargers available is very low. It is the only free charger in...

I thought it might be useful to start a thread to post information and comments as new Waypoint Chargers are installed. I'll kick it off by replying to this post with some comments about the Fort Mason charger in San Francisco.

It's great that you are getting an R1T to review! I look forward to hearing you guys on the InsideEVs podcast every week. I will echo the people who want a range test with a light trailer. Something like a teardrop trailer. Also, I'd like to see a range test with the optional mounted tent...
