I think Rivian has staying power, and I expect them to deliver first. Ford is having production difficulties right now (see: Bronco delay, Mach-E delay/recall) and I would not be surprised if it takes them a bit to properly launch the F-150e. GM has an EV launch plan, but its rolling out so...

My bet is that they won't release any new vehicles until at least some R1T and R1S are in customers driveways. Can you imagine the caterwauling on this forum if they announced new products before anyone got their current orders? I believe it was a MotorTrend article/interview where RJ...

I realize I wasn't clear. I don't mean the Bolt EUV, I mean the Chevy EV fullsize truck, which they have confirmed is coming and teased at CES.

I mean it as in this is an item that is preventing me from preordering at this time. Otherwise, I'm sold on Rivian. I'm waiting to see if the eventual Chevy EV has better controls (and is a bit more affordable).

My 2 cents: Touchscreen-heavy controls, without physical backup. I cannot count the number of times I've gotten into a truck wearing thick gloves, or with wet/mudy/dirty hands, and needed to control functions of the truck. Sure I could go through a whole rigamarole of taking off gloves or...

I'm in an unincorporated part of Wake county, south of Raleigh. No order yet, but seriously considering it.

I think there is a point a lot of people are missing in this discussion: Inclement weather. I have yet to find a touch screen that works well with wet or gloved hands. Sure, for long drives you can dry your hands or remove gloves, but if you're just hopping into the truck when its...

Work being completed over on the Open Inverter forum has demonstrated its not quite so simple. There are three primary DC fast charge types in the US: Tesla Supercharger CCS (combined charging system) - adds DC connections below the J1772 plug CHADEMO Rivian's will charge from CCS, which is...

North Carolina's Outer Banks (OBX) are severely lacking in charging options. They definitely need one at the 4x4 access in Carova/Corolla, and some more charging points between Raleigh-Durham and the beach would be great as well.

It seems that the Lincoln was off the table, so I'm just spit balling about other options. My suggestion was that (if it was the rally car) there might be 2 versions, a Rivian branded version and a Ford branded version. The whole on again/off again nature of this is somewhat odd. Time will tell.

Ford has said that Bronco will be a family of vehicles, with more than the current 3 options (2 door, 4 door, and sport) so a Rivian based EV Bronco is not out of the realm of possibilities.

WARNING: Completely unfounded speculation What if the vehicle they are working on together is the rumored crossover/rally car? Ford has a long rally history to help Rivian, and Rivian has the EV components reasonably ready. It might even be a car that could be shared between the two...

Exactly the point a lot of people on the internet today seem to be missing. They've been pretty clear, this is a "halo" truck. They've also said an electric Chevy is coming that will be more "bare bones." The Hummer should be compared to the Raptor and TRX, not the Rivian and F-150 EV. And...

Tesla's reputation for getting hate probably has multiple sources. I would hazard a guess it is a combination of: - Tesla damage is more likely to get reported/amplified by forums and video recordings. - Initial backlash may have/did occur (but I'd hazard a guess has died down to normal "luxury...

Probably depends where you are and under what circumstance. I haven't seen the show yet to know exactly what they had, but I've towed vehicles with just a strap when necessary (broken down but still rolls), though usually with a second driver in the vehicle being towed.

Hello all. I have not yet preordered, but I likely will sometime in the next year or so. I have been swayed a bit towards the Endurance or Hummer, but I'm undecided. I do love the styling and off road performance potential of the R1T. I'm currently building a 1940 Chevy coupe with a Tesla...

Unless they're made of aluminum or stainless, EV's will have this problem too. Not many have gotten to the 10-year mark yet, but those that have (and drive where it snows) are beginning to show rust too. I've seen plenty of Priuses with early rust holes.
