I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, but I would be surprised if your statement is actually true. I do not have facts in hand.

I think you make some good points; however, I am not sure you got the target buyer segment correctly. Although I agree the pickup market is very difficult to crack, I do not believe the R1T is in competition with traditional pickups from the big 3 (or 5 depending on how you target). The R1T is...

@Pugster ; I think you just described a good portion of us, and how important recovery gear, and few other specs are. One does not need to be a hardcore offroader, these trucks are a means to an objective similar to the situations you describe. :like:

If you are going to go off the paved roads, you do want to tow hooks for sure, even if you think additional underbody shielding is unnecessary.

Thank you for your replies. I am in MoCo as well :fist bump: I have been thinking quite a bit on this issue, and others. I am coming to conclusion that it is not the range that is an issue, I do agree with you both that charging stations will become far more accessible in the near future. What...

Rivian has given me hope in more ways than one. It made me a believer in EV's future. I came to this site to learn more about Rivian and the models, and I am so glad I did. There are so many passionate people here with positive and welcoming attitudes that I think it is a unique place to read...

Good topic to discuss :) Regardless of the amount, it is important for me not to have ‘specialized’ vehicles, e.g. single-purpose vehicles. Whichever car/truck/SUV I buy needs to fulfill multiple needs for me and my family. This is especially true for an SUV or truck. The value I perceive...

To be honest, I actually want that cat, Walter!

I might be making too much of this, but my mind keeps racing ahead. I think what RJ might be saying here is that the software managing individual control modules for the air springs and torque management between four motors is more mature at this time for the AT tires, than others. 2-3%...

Thank you! Clearly, they are using torque vector steering based on your description, which is great. The best part of it is that is software-based torque distribution between motors and they will keep fine-tuning it as they move forward. With each update, I suspect the improvements would be...

I know this is probably derailing the conversation away from tires, but I am with @TessP100D on this. Every vehicle that has two or four wheels will do 90% what we use the vehicles for. The reason I intend to purchase a Rivian is to be able to do most of the 10% remaining use cases. Otherwise...

Thank you all for the information you have been sharing. A couple of questions, hopefully, they have not been asked previously (I suspect I missed some of the posts in this long thread): Has there been any talk, mention, or any of the drivers felt the use of torque vector steering? Since it...

Woww!!! Apparently, a new level of discontent has been reached.

You are right on point. If Tesla does really open their chargers, that would be awesome as there at least three in that area. thank you for commenting.

@ajdelange I understand the points you are making, but even in my most simplistic use case scenario, things may not be looking very good. I certainly won't be doing any of those "off roading" shown on TFL on a regular basis. Let's take the most simplistic use case for me: Day trip to...

I was just happy to hear ACDC, not paying attention to audio quality :)

You just cannot make people happy :CWL: It is a recording of a recording, of course the bass won't come across.

This so depressing, seriously. And other sources also confirm your calculations within 5-6% variance, not to mention the new 4Xe video of TFL :confused:

I am one of those, comparing them that is. After months of looking around, I narrowed my choices to two vehicles: F150 Raptor and Rivian R1. I want an adventure vehicle, but I want one that will accommodate all of the family (3 humans and 3 dogs). I really am attracted to Rivian, want the...

Are they using the Rivian Skateboard? This is a general question, maybe obvious to most, sorry.
