  1. White R1T vs White F-150 Side-by-Side Comparison Look

    You definitely get a LOT more bed relatively speaking. F150 5.5' bed is 81% larger than the R1T. 52.8 vs 29.2cuft.
  2. Highway Assist tried to run us off the road (edit from saying Self-driving)

    This is pretty close to ideal conditions for lane centering. Well marked. Clear weather. No sun on horizon. No construction. Just well-marked clear lanes. Doesn't get easier than this.
  3. Working Magsafe / Magnetic Qi Wireless Charging Pad Install! - DIY Writeup

    Good work. Props to you. I'm interested in single or dual if you get these done.
  4. R1T Rivian Service, Rescue & Recovery Vehicle (w/ Pullout Drawers From Gear Tunnel) -- TFL walkaround

    Probably the most useful accessory for the R1T. Puts the tunnel slide to shame. Someone please find the manufacturer for these. I find it unlikely that Rivian crafted these in house.
  5. OutofSpec Kyle Gets His R1T - Rivian Factory Delivery Video

    Sandy reserved his personal one a long time ago. He purchased the tear down one (silver) on the secondary market for ~$130k. He didn't skip anything.
  6. Took delivery yesterday: first impressions and Tesla comparison

    Is this still the case in "Sport" mode as well? I thought I had read that Sport mode gives it more of the snappiness you are referring to from the TM3 or does it still lag relatively?
  7. Jerry Rig Everything 1500 Mile R1T Review

    You get about 25 opens and closes. Use them wisely.
  8. At what point is the R1T outdated?

    I would also add V2H will be what is considered outdated. I see power reliability only getting worse in the future. Kinda stinks having the equivalent of 10 Powerwalls sitting in your garage and not able to use it to power your home in an emergency or to fully power an RV trailer or worksite...
  9. 43 Days from order to delivery.

    Are pre March 1 price hike orders now at the back of the line or lower mix? Seems they are definitely prioritizing the post March 1 orders.
  10. Ford Wants to Move to Direct Sales for EVs

    They should just spin-off a branch of the company entirely (new brand, possibly it's own IPO) for direct to consumer sales on future models. Get out of the teeth of dealerships.
  11. Any tests done on Vampire battery drain?

    Agree. 1kwh is approximately 100 iPhones fully charged. My iphone is sending/receiving/listening/gps/cell connection to towers/connected to wifi and has no issue lasting an entire day. 1 KW is generous. Right not it's just a monstrous and ridiculous waste. Hopefully the extreme battery...
  12. TONNEAU ISSUES / TROUBLES POLL - Headaches for Us and Rivian?

    With these early problems, are others not concerned in fall with leaves and helicopter seeds dropping leading into winter with freezing rain and snow pack. I think the failure rate in first year alone will be extremely high. To me it almost seems like a guaranteed problem although I still have...
  13. Worst fears came true. My R1T died at a light. Update today(8/18)

    This sucks. I feel a big let down and it's not even my brand new $70k truck that left me stranded. Hope things get better for you.
  14. Any tests done on Vampire battery drain?

    Agree. Battery powered Ring type cameras are always on watch and consume a fraction of watt per hour. (23wh battery lasts 2-4 months depending on activity) - It's also NOT gear guard since disabling gear guard doesn't solve the problem. As you said, it doesn't make sense either based on the...
  15. Any tests done on Vampire battery drain?

    The amount of vampire drain is definitely due to battery management. It must be overzealous though in keeping a narrow range when truck is off and idle. Lithium ion is not THAT delicate. There isn't an issue with letting the 2170 cells get to 35° or 95°F when sitting idle. There will be SOME...
  16. Testing the Rivian as a ‘backup’ power source

    Already plenty of first-hand accounts and news articles of F150 being able to power entire homes. Wedding parties. Etc. Was reported on quite a bit with the F150 Hybrid (same 9.6kw inverter) especially during the Texas power outages last year.
  17. Any tests done on Vampire battery drain?

    I won't finalize my two orders until it's fixed. It's a grotesque waste of energy.
  18. Saw my yet to be delivered truck on YT just now

    He pulls it into a charger at that building with about 70% SOC. He doesn't show any joy riding so it's very possible he is instructed to charge it to certain percent (85%?) so you receive it with a nearly full battery. Probably not good idea to jump straight to a conclusion that there is any...
  19. Any tests done on Vampire battery drain?

    Right. This would equate to about 15-25 miles lost in your Y in a day. You would notice for sure.
  20. Any tests done on Vampire battery drain?

    BS. Teslas have never swallowed as much juice (kwh) as these Rivians are. You would need to have Sentry on and Cabin temp protection on in the sun on a sweltering summer day to come anywhere close. Rivian needs to fix it. Stop making excuses for them.
