I went with the Blink level 2 charger. It was the cheapest I saw with good reviews and was on Amazon - quick shipping.
I had just used the Tesla mobile charger plugged into a NEMA 14-50 for 8 years, but it died on me, so I hardwired the Blink unit in instead. Works fine. Only 32A, but I don't...
I think once they announced a plan, then people would just start complaining about it. "It's not soon enough", "it's only near Normal", etc. I think they had a real plan to allow test drives before Covid hit and that messed that up. But now they are probably working 24/7 to meet their...
Compared to other pickups out there the truck bed on the R1T seems pretty basic. It looks like you only have 4 tie downs and nothing else. I would like something more capable and flexible for securing stuff I put in the bed. Doing some research it seems like L-track is a versatile, proven and...

My concern is how the white...
I had a completely different experience than everyone else here apparently. Perhaps it was because I got an S, not an X. Tesla was completely focused on one vehicle when I ordered and not juggling multiple vehicles (maybe that’s a bad sign for Rivian) so my experience was great. Maybe it’s also...
That's certainly one way to (hopefully) get a "free" truck! Congrats!
Her philosophy was more along the lines of "If you believe in the company enough to spend $X to buy their vehicle, you should believe enough to invest $X in their stock."
I certainly wish I had done that when I bought my...
Talking to my financial advisor about this, she recommended investing the same in an IPO as the cost of the vehicle. I certainly wish I had done this with my Tesla. So that's the plan. Not buying for a short turn, but long term holding it.
