One consideration to make, what time frame do you have on R1t purchase? My understanding is that unless you are getting the new quad, everything on the lot at this time will have j1772 ccs charge port, but 2026+ models will have NACS port. This is probably one of the few instances that it...

I came across this in Google maps on phone/Android automotive a few months ago. The current location pointer has avatar options, some of which look a bit like a rivian. I had been wondering for a while if this was some kind of feature leak or signs upcoming of Google support, but figured it was...

Try this: Divide gvwr by 4. This gives you roughly the weight at each wheel at max load. Then divide weight at the wheel by the max weight load on the tire. This should give you a decimal 0.xx. which represents the percentage of the tires capacity you are using. Now multiply the decimal by...

For op I am curious to know what made you go with the sizing you did? Was 10 panels just what fit on the car port? Or did you do calculations to figure out you needed that many for electrical load? I am considering something similar but my rough calculations had me at a much smaller array...

Oh ya didn't even think to mention that. I'd know better doing it myself, but wouldn't even think to mention it to a builder if I was in that position. You might be able to get away with pex for hobby grade work. Most shops I've been in have been plumbed with at least 1" steel pipe. Copper would...

Some tips I did not see for garage/shop specific. Most of these are geared towards someone who works in the garage and uses it for more than parking/storage: A dedicated, insulated space for a large air compressor and hard air line runs to each bay and outside. Having the compressor separate...

That's a great question. I know it has a camera and I believe can scan barcodes for reading vins, so I don't see why not. Bigger thing would be if rivian lets it in without a subscription or something. Really that's most of what would stop any scan tool.

As a mechanic one of my biggest qualms with rivian so far is the lack of 3rd party/diy repair support. To a certain extent I can get why, the high voltage systems can be very dangerous. And if hate to have billy Bob from the trailer park going in there with wire nuts and tinsnips. But if EVs are...

so i did get to testdrive the highest mileage one of the three. sorry i am on a buisness trip and have not been able to update yet. from the aspect of seeing if we like the rivian things were good. though it has lots of computer features(for lack of better term)it wasnt nearly as overwhelming...

hope I'm not a bother by continuing on this conversation, by all means if this needs to be posted elsewhere I understand. it amazes me that there are 40 posts in this thread, primarily within a couple days of my op. significantly better community here than ive been in with the ram, and reminds...

please do list the truck things the r1t cant do as thats my thing. i dont think i use my ram at its capacity. towing a couple time yes, but the r1t has same tow rating. hell an s10 would fulfill my needs. as for getting rid of a truck ill miss, i already did that with my avalanche when i got...

im fine with a new vehicle having some minor glitches that dont brick it, so long as if minor turns major the warrantee backs it. more worried about major failure outside of warrantee, that i cant fix myself due to software blocking me. swapping parts i can figure out. f150 lightning is...

Ok was going to quote rexbo but I have not learned that yet. your bold print is alot more helpful. I used to own a first gen avalanche and i loved it. more than the durango. unfortunately it died the way all gms of that era died, rusty and with a slipping trans. i replaced it with the ram...

Damn you guys are fast. Other forums I am on, it takes weeks to get replies to my threads. Seriously i couldn't reply fast enough a new message would come through as i type. On deciding the model I'm leaning more towards an r1t as it would most likely replace my truck, but the r2 planned...

This seems like the first place to start. As of right now i guess i would call myself a prospective member/buyer? I have not purchased or ordered anything. just looking for the next step. current vehicles are a ram 1500 and dodge Durango. Wife and I love the Durango. the truck I like and it has...
