How long does it take to charge your S and what’s your starting SOC? I have 30 panels for 12kW of power and at peak sun, output just over 9kW. My 240v portable charger (not Rivian) consumes 8.9kW of that and will charge my S at around 30 miles of range per hour. That means my system provides...

Drag racing by amateurs is always dangerous. Add in street racing by children not old enough to understand their limits and really bad things happen. 0-60 in 3 seconds is equivalent to about 175 feet. 1320 feet in 11 seconds is about 8 seconds too much on the street, IMO.

I tell my wife to hold on and she says ok. then my daughter squeals in delight as she’s forced back into her seat. Happened yesterday when some dude kept creeping forward at the light nearly into the intersection while his buddy was staring at our family wagon, like I was intimidated or...

I hope that’s not the stick you are using to measure a development team.

Let me guess. Bamtech?

G2 R1S here. We’ve only had a few issues with screen lockup, delayed response or no response from touching the screen. However, the last update failed to update multiple times and once Rivian support was on the phone, there were unable to get me fixed up and suggested we take the S back to...

I have 12kW of solar outputting 9kW. I charge when the sun is high and my charger pull 8.8kW, leaving 200w to keep the fridge cool. So yea, full send.

no, have them check the alignment. mine was WAAAAY off from the factory. Felt like the front end was on ice skates.

I refuse to let my power company draw from any battery storage. They already bled me dry of 10MW of solar generation last year and called their compensation of $224 appropriate. F them all. I so badly want to cut them off.

V2H support definitely impacted my decision for a Rivian. Tank turn, not as much. I wanted functionality over whiz-bangs and useless tech.

I’m genuinely curious as to why you refuse to support Tesla because of its CEO. Did you buy the vehicle because of the CEO or did you buy it because you felt compelled to save the planet in one form or another? Or any other reason? I can’t say I’ve ever purchased a product because of who runs...

Politics aside, none of you would have a Rivian or any other EV if it wasn’t for musk and Tesla. Love or hate him, musk and his vision single handily changed the landscape of EVs. Before Tesla (roadster 2011) there was the EV1 by GM (1996) which was killed off by the oil industry. Since the...

I’d rather see him in the back of a police car on the way to prison. This state has a fleet of vehicles for the Government to use already, glad to see my tax dollars spent on nonsense and political propaganda.

Im on week 2 of Rivian service having my now 900 mile R1S and I’m told it won’t be done until end of May. So that’s 3 payments on my lease and less than 30 days on the road. At this point, I’m considering my options. Great they’re building more 50 service centers. That’s one per state on...

Spends millions to showcase a product to a niche audience. Fails to invest in servicing said product. What could possibly go wrong…

0.56/kWh? I am so glad I charge from solar. Heck, even EA is less expensive.

Here’s my first of more updates around addressing all the issues with my brand new R1S First - steering wheel off center, pulls to the left under regen, alignment didn’t feel correct as the vehicle would dart left or right at random. Service center just sent me this:

can you help me here? I can only seem to find about 6B in debt.

I suspect there will be a market in the future for replacement battery packs IF and WHEN battery technology makes a huge leap forward. When the same size pack holds 5x more energy, and all the new cars get the new tech, someone will figure out how to profit from it on older EVs. Otherwise, as...

Upgrade to 80A feed in case you have a desire for bidirectional charging. My guys dropped 6-4 over about 25 feet to future proof our EV plans. Only cost me a few bucks more.
