That rate definitely helps with the value of solar. We currently pay $0.10241/kWh (for the first 1,400 kWh) and $0.11077 after that, plus a $14.23 customer charge, so any system we install will take a long time to pay off. I thought about going without batteries, but my Wife wants us to have...

My Wife and I would love to get solar + battery backup installed at our house. Unfortunately, we live in a state that isn't very EV and solar friendly, so incentives are limited and there aren't many contractor options, so they tend to sandbag their estimates. I'll need the price for dollar to...

We used a version of this on my last project (we had 3 solar panels with it), and it worked great. I'd definitely recommend it.

My Guide has never mentioned a delay for the Tri-Max R1Ts and she confirmed this week deliveries will start in October. My custom order has always stated Oct-Nov timeframe, so I guess that still lines up. I'm hoping for October rather than November since I want to use the truck on our...

Interesting, I ordered my custom R1T in late June and my delivery window is Oct-Nov. I did reach out to my Guide this week about any updates to my delivery window and she confirmed all Tri-Max R1T's would start being delivered in October. The next step for us will be for Rivian to assign a...

I wish I knew, lol. The delivery window states OCT-NOV and hasn't updated since I placed the order, and the only information I've gotten from my Guide is that they're waiting on a VIN to be assigned.

It will likely take a while for custom orders. I placed our order for a custom R1T on 28 June and they still haven't reached out to me. The only communication I've gotten has been when I emailed them with some questions. You can try emailing your Guide, if they've populated that info on your...

Biggest downside with Ram is it's still owned by Stellantis. The Ram Rev-Charger is also not very efficient by comparison, as it has a 27-gallon tank for the gas generator and the battery pack is 92 kWh (141 miles) and gets an advertised total mileage of 690 miles. Assuming you want to take the...

Glad you had a great experience. I'm looking forward to when I get that email letting me know my R1T is ready. I'm still in the October-November delivery timeframe. The test drive I took in March was great, but by that time, I had already done tons of research into other EV truck competitors...

Another piece of data that often gets misunderstood is how expensive EVs are right now. It's true that Rivian and Tesla sell some expensive cars... Six figure vehicles are ridiculous and we'd all love for EVs to be cheaper. However, the truth is that the AVERAGE price of EVs in the U.S. isn't...

Something else I feel is being misinterpreted is interest vs sales. There are studies that have been done this year that show (in U.S. markets) a small decline in people thinking about buying an EV in the near future. HOWEVER, that isn't necessarily a 1:1 correlation to sales. Looking at the...

This is just where you and I differ. I feel your view is a bit on the extremist side. You see a bit of a downturn and you think the sky is on fire instead on looking further down the road, but every smart investor knows you never pull out on a downturn... I think Rivian will be fine, especially...

LoL, they aren't "my numbers". They were gathered by professionals who conduct research. I'm just echoing the article for your benefit. Also, you don't KNOW (trying to emphasize that word here) that researching that would be minimal for Rivian. What is a fact is that any deviation from their...

4-5 month wait if the schedule doesn't change *fingers crossed*

I ordered my custom R1T Tri-Max on June 28 - no movement yet. Status still says "Configuration Confirmed" and the estimated delivery hasn't changed either (October-November). Still a bit early, but one can dream, right? ?

Right, but to do that still requires a huge amount of research, prototyping, time, etc So, it's the same ballpark and still the wrong conclusion. Also, read the article, EV demand is not down or flat. There are a number of other articles that point to rising sales...

I'll counter your original statement with this article: https://electrek.co/2024/08/29/interest-evs-record-us-prices-drop/ Another thing to keep in mind: no one here (to my knowledge) is an executive at Rivian, so no one KNOWS what is being planned for certain when looking long term. My...

When I reserved my Tri-Max, I was required to put down a $3,000 deposit My plan is also to lease for 36 months, then buy it at the end. I have bought quite a few cars, but this will be my first time leasing. My delivery window still states OCT-NOV timeframe, so I'm hoping to hear from Rivian...

Perhaps a stupid question, but I'll ask anyway. Do the 2025+ (Gen 2) R1's still use a 12V lead-acid battery or has Rivian switched it to Lithium-Ion? Thanks!
