  1. Illinois automotive dealers lose lawsuit to stop Rivian from direct sales

    It was a pretty ridiculous lawsuit. Rivian employees a lot of people directly and indirectly in Illinois so that was a slap in the face to any resident. I took note of every dealer that was on the lawsuit when it was first filed. I will never buy any parts/service or purchase a vehicle from...
  2. BFG KO2 - 275/65r20 tires installed on my R1T

    Definitely a great tire. Looks amazing on the R1T! I'll be interested in the range hit.
  3. The good, the bad, the ugly - 2,600 mile round trip Denver to Michigan in the R1T

    This is what I was referring to...EA sites are small in comparison..and if a few stalls are down it could mean you are going to be waiting...Battery packs are getting bigger (and the vehicles use twice the power to go the same distance)...20K+ R1's plus every other OEM has to share these... "We...
  4. The good, the bad, the ugly - 2,600 mile round trip Denver to Michigan in the R1T

    I am disappointed to hear about the experience. I hope they get the issues resolved with your R1T. Traveling in winter in an EV is an adventure for sure. Bigger batteries, less efficient vehicles, inadequate number of chargers at each site, unreliable network....horrible combination. I can't...
  5. Cold weather Kills the battery!

    This is the reason we will never be a full EV family while living in IL.
  6. Heat pump or resistive heat

    There is one coming. Wasn't ready in time for launch of R1's. Hoping for one in 2023 (but highly doubtful). I would guess it will be introduced in the R2's. MY heat pump works great in cold temps (we have had it work in -20).
  7. Dual-Motor AWD System Specs: 600hp 0-60 MPH in 4.5 Seconds /// 700hp 0-60 MPH in 3.5 Seconds!

    I want that same option. I don't need the quad motor so would love for them to give us an option to "downgrade" to the dual.
  8. What would you do (drive or transport)?

    Be ready for significantly reduced range due to temperatures and headwinds, etc. We are taking a trip to the UP next week and I didn't even give a thought to taking our MY even with the SC network. Not worth the extra time Weather here in Central IL is gonna suck the next 3-4 days but next...
  9. Updated Delivery Windows to be announced in Jan 2023 (per Rivian Customer Service 12/14/22)

    There is a small shutdown right at the beginning of the year. It's only 4-5 working days from what I understand. Nothing significant.
  10. Gift from Rivian?

    Got this little pin from the holiday party. Nothing in the mail :confused:
  11. Rivian Holiday Family Day - Our self guided tour of the factory floor (Photos)

    We were there pretty late (6ish) so the reindeer had knocked off one of it's antlers. Agreed that there is a ton of vans in the plant and staging lot. It's hard to tell how many R1's are there as the ones ready for rail service are all out back. Not many in the car hauler lot. The L3...
  12. Rivian Holiday Family Day - Our self guided tour of the factory floor (Photos)

    Rivian holiday party. This time we were able to do a self guided tour of the factory floor. It was a ton of walking but got to see lots of cool stuff. It's really cool they do this for employees. Updated with more details: We were there pretty late (6ish) so the reindeer had knocked off...
  13. Production Line Improvements?

    Multiple hiring events lately + a new second shift....I'm not sure anything through the next 3-6 months would be any better.
  14. The state of the CCS charging network in USA is disappointing

    I bought a CSS adapter for our MY so I could try out some EA stations while we wait on the R1S. The locations of EA chargers compared to the SC network around where I live heavily favors the SC. Each time I think I can try out my adapter I go to the SC. Primarily because they are located in...
  15. Rivian R1T vs R1S sales numbers through Q3 2022

    The lots at Normal are full of the EDV's. Guessing they are held up waiting on transportation.
  16. With interest rates rising, how many won’t be completing their R1 purchase?

    The vehicle we are trading in has lost 10K of theoretical value in the past few months. Used prices are on the way down. Rivian price stays the same. Then add in the possibility you don't get the tax credit along with higher interest rates. That is around a 20K swing (in what we pay). We...
  17. Tesla releases J1772 Wall Connector Home Charger (For Non-Teslas)

    They had one on their website some time back but I don't think it load shared (which is why I didn't buy it). Thanks for posting!
  18. Volvo EX90 could be worthy competitor to R1S

    We loved our 2016 XC90. Really looking forward to seeing the reveal of the EX90. Rivian is local and employee friends and family members so the R1S is our first choice. The Volvo will be our backup plan unless the price is crazy.
  19. My Guide Experience

    Lack of communication is the theme repeated over and over. No excuse for not texting/calling somebody back in a timely manner. The guides must have a granola bar in one hand and a coffee in the other. Can't decide which to put down to make a call :)
