According to the EA map posted, by mid 2019 Montana should have charging stations at St Regis(?), Missoula, Butte and Dillon or Lima. These follow the north/south I-90/I-15 corridor. The connection is from the Pacific Northwest thru to Salt Lake and Denver. Missing in MT are Billings, the...

Highlights from the Electrify America site. Charging at $.30-$.35 per minute @ 350 kwh. Each minute adds about 9 miles and the charge time will be about 30 minutes. The map shows ph1 to be completed by mid 2019. There will be more phases and $2 billion will be invested including $800 million of...

BP, Shell and Chevron have already announced they would be supporting EV charging by adding chargers to existing fuel stations and building electric only stations. None of those companies currently do business in Montana.

I enjoy the green but prefer the lighter color featured in the rear view. The gold is certain to draw attention perhaps more than I would like parked out in the woods.

Missoula where I live has about 80,000 people in the SMSA and is the 4th largest city in the whole state. We have 1 Tesla high speed charger at a chain motel. We have one Tesla destination charger at a bnb. There are 2 chargers in the new parking garage which will give a Nissan Leaf 10 miles of...

Perhaps when they show up in Seattle, Portland, Salt Lake or maybe even Denver I can work it in. If they do a back woods location like the wilds of Glacier National Park, Yellowstone National Park or the Grand Tetons where I can make it in less than a day's drive I can show up.

We might as well try the neighborhood ice cream truck bells especially in a quiet neighborhood at 3:00 in the morning. Maybe the clip clop of a horse from a movie sound track. I would prefer to just leave things alone until we see if tire noise is enough. Fire trucks, ambulances and police...

Have you seen the Atlis production figures for 10 vehicles the first year then for 100 more the second? That hardly seems to be a capacity to be taken seriously. Their claim of 15 minute charging times will not happen for a couple years and 800 volt chargers become available. Users who really...

Will the Rivian self driving system be learning your driving habits to see where you are comfortable and asses your skills, habits and distractions?

Will the cameras behind the rear view mirror make recordings which can be saved to be used in accident investigations? Things like idiots comming off cross streets without stopping, drivers turning from the lane left of you to exit to a street right of you at about 35 mph with less than a car...

I am interested in some hands on driving lessons in less than ideal conditions. Locking hubs on 4WD I have experience with but 1000 hp/axle with maximum torque output at stall speed will be new to me. I have experience with this on electric railroad locomotives but that is a different world...

I will be 69 or 70 when I get my R1T. If Rivian establishes service centers they might be in Billings 300 miles east or Spokane 200 miles west. If 2 or 3 others in Missoula purchase Rivian perhaps we can form a local users group and meet for breakfast once a month or something. There will be...

I would like to see a way to arrive at Normal about 3 days early to spend a day in a classroom getting lectures and manuals concerning operations and maintenance about the vehicle we are buying and how to interact with the Rivian support system. The second day would be hands on with an actual...

I have been pondering the cost of repairs to the aluminum unibody and how that might affect Rivian insurance prices. It seems experience with the Ford F-150 pickup repairs find the aluminum repairs are no higher than steel repairs...

I am Alan and have a December reservation for an R1T. In 2017 I bought a new 2016 GMC Terrain and was ready to go 100% electric at that time if it had been available so the R1T is what I am looking for. Missoula where I live is one of the 4 largest cities in Montana and it has one Tesla high...

I preordered an R1T in December and thought I might prefer an SUV like my Ford Explorer, GMC Envoy and GMC Terrain. Then the photos of the R1S came out and I decided the R1T had nearly everything I was looking for in an SUV plus the ability to carry building materials and oversize outdoor toys...
