Only thing I care about Rivian beating Tesla at is....profit. Let's get it going!

No. Don't forget to add oil changes etc. for ICEmobile. Plus the fun-factor driving EV.

Yes, in general. But for some inventory models, the Max pack 2023 R1T is the same cost as a Large pack 2024 R1T. Agree there's a lot of (mis)information for the new EV owner to sift thru....some info can make the "400 mile range!" seem like a big increase compared to Max pack, but in reality...

Agree. I don't like anything which slows the pace of charging equipment deployment.

Could certainly be a way to increase sales.

Would be a significant sales boost to sell these--what we think are--software locked 131 kWh battery pack equipped R1s <$80k federal tax credit limit and after delivery, allow for an upgrade fee the ability to unlock the true battery capacity. Seems crazy from a financial perspective to sell a...

Hmmm...yes...the union issue. Total "wildcard" how that can play out.

Great question. There's a lot of info on Colorado's NEVI funding plan and DC fast charging at: https://www.codot.gov/programs/innovativemobility/electrification/nevi-plan and https://energyoffice.colorado.gov/zero-emissions-vehicles/dcfc-plazas Don't forget to apply for your small business...

Illinois should annex Georgia, free Rivian from the 2nd factory contract mess, and then release Georgia. Win-win. Come on $RIVN, $12 on 5/3/2024, you can do it!

Stop with the FUD. NEVI funds are paid at completion of project.

Please post a review including watt/mile energy use, driving conditions, your opinion.... TIA

I looked at data from Colorado NEVI funding. $22 million for 46 charging stations. Average cost non-Tesla DC chargers: $121,323 per port. Average cost Tesla DC chargers: $41,183 per port. All Tesla stations are 250 kw versus six non-Tesla stations 350 kw and 24 at 150 - 200 kw. Link ("get...

The Supercharger sites I use have either a few head-in spots, or, I can use a Supercharger on the end, and angle park when I have a hitch-mounted bike rack on the back of my Model Y. Front (for trailers, head-in) and passenger side (for curbside) is ideal. charge port location on the vehicle...

Rebecca Tinucci is the reason for NACS. Sad loss for all EV drivers and anyone in favor of adoption of EVs and the move towards a more sustainable vehicle fleet.

Agree. I hope no 2nd factory until profitability is achieved. Then, consider a 2nd factory. Normal is maxed out around 215k from internal sources. Rivian said "... Our total production for the year [2023] was 57,232. So approx R2 cap at Normal is around 145k with the balance R1 + EDV. A...

If you want to have multiple chargers/EVSE: One 60a - 80a circuit. Two Tesla Universal Wall Chargers ($620 x 2) connected to the single circuit. Configure "power share" option. Both vehicles can charge at the same time. You set max KW power draw per unit. Very easy to install and...

I wish Rivian would announce the termination of GA plant. Pick a new location after profitability. R2 can be built in Normal factory without the capital drain of a second factory.

Did you find both the chargers Rivian set up for their Americas tour and the chargers set up by Tesla for their Cybertruck Baja tour?

Agree. The R2 and R3 are the car Subaru wishes Toyota make for them.

Can’t argue with that…walking is healthy for you and only minimal greenhouse emissions. You can thank EV drivers for quieter urban environments and cleaner air to breathe. You benefit from my choice.
