I listened to the podcast and came away even more impressed with R J's straightforward comments. He recognizing that the EV "revolution" will require more than a couple choices. We preordered our R1S in January, 2020 and the Launch Edition was delivered November, 2023. (The delay was somewhat...

They now have R1S specific. We’ve ordered them

Especially in off road mode

Seems that if contacts are on the Rivian infortament screen you could just tap them into navigation

I‘m probably going get a professor’s refrain; “Look it up, it’s in the book.” I’ll ask anyway. How can I connect a contacts information into Navigation and get direction? That’s the only thing I wish I could do. Maybe a software updat?

I remember having to pour hot water over a door key to get into the car. Of course I walked two miles in the snow to school. (Haha)

Would like a trip odometer in Off Road mode. Or am I missing something.

That’s interesting as I got 75kw the two times I used the CalTrans chargers. I don’t understand why they’re advertised as 150 or 350. Even the RANs put out 175 kw. I’ll be happy when Tesla Magic stations are more widely available for us to use. Our Airbnb in Escalante ( theoldbaileyplace.com )...

The best charging station I know in San Diego is the EVGo at the CalTrans District office in Old Town. Open to public 5pm weekdays and all day weekends and holidays. next best is a friend with. Home charger

San Diego to Escalante, Utah on Tuesday 650 miles mostly on I-15. Used Conserve mode on the freeway. The added range (efficiency) is appreciated out here in the West. The last seventy miles are through Byrce Canyon National Park and the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.Stopped at RANs...

If you’re going to be away for a period time go to camping and put it in sleep mode

This was at the San Diego service center. We were impressed with the quality of all the personnel.

We picked up our R1S on Friday, November 17. The vehicle was in very good condition. The only complaint we have is the too brief “operating” introduction. We had a total of 45 minutes which about half was trade in, state registration, payment. It would be nice to have time for an explanation of...

Seems to be, as ours arrived three weeks before scheduled delivery

You’re spot on. Shorters have more to do with the price swings than corporate reports. Actually we continue to buy low and hold. Plan on it paying for grandchildren’s education.

Unfortunately here in Southern Utah there’s an attitude that staying with an ICE is the most visible “owning the libs” machismo. Cowboys perfer driving $80k pickups and buy “farm” diesel so they don’t have to pay road taxes.

And now we need to start educating a new generation. I thought I understood some things but this presentation was a thousand feet over my head. When I recently scrolled through Rivian on eBay there was a wiring harness that was frightening to look at.

This will become the new “EVs“ catch on fire all the time. The Luddites will be parading down the street tomorrow.

So does Amazon. Amazon‘s early investment was based on the long term conversion to urban delivery (commercial) vehicles. Most people seeing an EV van, Amazon, UPS, or FedEx won’t realize Amazon is pocketing a return on investmen.
