  1. Kayak Transport

    What works well for long hauls with an R1T? I have a 12.5 foot tandem kayak that I'd like to take out to the Delmarva Peninsula (from Illinois) in June. Has anyone used the goalpost type bed extenders along with the Rivian crossbars mounted on the roof for long drives...
  2. I changed my mind on Max Pack

    I bought the max pack for this very reason. I plan to drive to Alaska and different places in Canada over the next few years and wanted to have as much range as I could possibly get for those few occasions when I really needed it. Plus I was a pre-March 22 order holder, so it didn't cost me...
  3. Entire Tesla Supercharger team fired (Update: Elon Musk says supercharger network growth will continue). ** ⚠️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS **

    I'm both a Tesla and a Rivian stockholder. Late last week my notice of the Tesla annual meeting arrived. With relish I voted AGAINST every proposal made by the Tesla board except one (appointing PWC as the external auditor) and FOR every proposal made by shareholders and opposed by Tesla...
  4. Entire Tesla Supercharger team fired (Update: Elon Musk says supercharger network growth will continue). ** ⚠️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS **

    I'm both a Rivian and a Tesla stockholder. IMO Tesla's annual meeting can't come soon enough. I'm looking forward to voting against anything Musk wants. This action, and so many recently have been completely nuts. It is definitely time for the board to replace him.
  5. Vampire drain - what's the latest battery % loss people are getting?

    New Dual Max R1T owner here. How do you turn off HVAC? I haven't been able to find that in the Owner's Guide, but I haven't read it from top to bottom..
  6. Please help me make final choice on my pre price-hike config

    Can you afford to get it now before the end of the year? If so, you might still be able to get the promotion offer of a free wall charger and charger installation credit of up to $2000 if you get one from the R1 Shop. That's what I decided to do: found one with everything I wanted except...
  7. Should I drive my Dual Max R1T from IL to CA one day after picking it up in Normal?

    Thanks for all the great advice! Glad I still have a week to mull it over before deciding. This is my first EV, and I know that my plug-in Prius hasn't prepared me for the vagaries of public charging. I'm not worried about the Prius handling snow, but I'm buying the R1T to get away from oil...
  8. Should I drive my Dual Max R1T from IL to CA one day after picking it up in Normal?

    Assuming nothing blows up with loan approval, I'm picking my Dual Max R1T on Monday 12/18, 4 years and 8 months after reserving an R1T. We plan to leave the next day to visit our kids in California and Oregon for Christmas. Is there any reason (besides cost) why we should take our Prius...
  9. No more max pack in R1 shop

    Indeed Max Packs are back in the R1 Shop, and they had one with everything I wanted but the RUS (which I wasn't sure about anyway) so I confirmed it! R1T Dual Max, Red Canyon, Ocean Coast/Dark Ash, 21" wheels, at pre-increase pricing. Hoping to talk to my guide tomorrow to add a manual...
  10. Have any new owners of a Dual Max R1T posted about their experiences yet?

    I haven't seen anything and can't find anything using the search function. Lookin g for info on the regular Dual, not the Dual Performance.
  11. Anyone know how to advocate for a RAN charger site in a location?

    I'd love to see a few in NW BC and especially in the charging desert of the Yukon. Towing a small camper with an R1T all the way to Denali is my ultimate adventure goal.
  12. Solo R1T camping adventure at White Rim Road | Moab, UT

    Gorgeous pictures!! Out of curiosity, could you have made this trip if you were towing a short, narrow fold out camper? Not talking about range, but turn clearance.
  13. Max Pack R1T Dual (NOT Performance) - Got my VIN 10/24/2023!

    Also a 70+ (retiring in 22 months but whose counting) safe driver in IL. I've got a pre-March '22 Dual Max R1T configured but not locked in so will be very interested in hearing of your experience with it. I'm getting closer to locking in my configuration and commiting to the R1T but have been...
  14. Decisions, decisions: 4/19 pre-order Dual R1T - Max? RUS? Color? Wait till CT specs are out?

    Thanks for the tip! I didn't know such a product existed, but it sure makes a lot of sense. That would obviously relieve that concern about the R1T.
  15. Decisions, decisions: 4/19 pre-order Dual R1T - Max? RUS? Color? Wait till CT specs are out?

    Thanks to everyone for all the thoughtful comments! I decided to ask my guide to put my status on hold (she called it Not Ready) -- not to be confused with the On Hold that I experienced for 45+ minutes and then 90+ minutes when I called customer service today ... Probably the biggest reason...
  16. Glacier White vs. LA Silver?

    I signed the binding purchase agreement so can get the $7500 credit by amending my 2022 return, for which I paid $7600 in taxes.
  17. Glacier White vs. LA Silver?

    While I love Rivian Blue and Canyon Red, I need to get the tax credit which I can with pre-increase pricing on a Dual Max R1T with RUS. But only if I don't have to pay extra for paint. So that limits me to Glacier White and LA Silver, not that either one excites me. For those of you have one...
  18. Oakland, CA to St. Paul, MN in 3ish Days - R1T Trip Report

    Out of curiosity, what was your total charging cost for the trip?
  19. Decisions, decisions: 4/19 pre-order Dual R1T - Max? RUS? Color? Wait till CT specs are out?

    I have a Dual Max R1T Adventure package with RUS in Glacier White configured. With early pricing and a wall charger it is $79,200. Estimated delivery of November-December, and I just got a "time to lock your configuration in" message. But I'm still conflicted and would like thoughts on a few...
