North Carolina…(it’s in the sidebar so I didn’t mention it explicitly)

My 6 month policy with Allstate is $267 for my 2020 Chevy Bolt, $404 for the Rivian R1T, both $250 deductible, and then an additional $123 to increase coverages from standard for more property damage and medical expense.. So $730 (including full payment discount) for both for 6 months.

Yes, you need weighted plates due to the curb weight of the R1T (7,200). The “default” is 9,000 pounds to accommodate passengers and payload.

It’s a Camp Chef “professional” oven and cooktop. Two burners on top, and a thermostatically controlled oven in a single unit… -Joel

Glad you got it fixed! I read your post yesterday and was nervous when I applied the update last night, especially when it appeared to get stuck at 38%…but it finished, and all is well…?

When my R1T was delivered on June 28, it had the standard 90 day Illinois tag. I’d read on this forum about issues with registration taking more than 90 days and asked my guide. He acknowledged that there were issues, and asked if I’d like to self-register. I said yes, and he sent in a ticket to...

Hope you get yours soon! No issue with delivery in NC.The guy who delivered mine to EI on June 28 said they’d been bringing in a steady stream of them to NC from the Richmond service center…

My wife (Jan) and lab (Zefram) and I got away for a short trip to the NC mountains. We stuffed the R1T full of camping gear (tent, screen room, camp kitchen, etc.) and headed out from our home at Emerald Isle to a Blue Ridge Parkway campground near Blowing Rock. We drove a total of 732 miles...

Yes, you need weighted plates. If the GVW is over 7000, you need them. I am transferring weighted plates from the Silverado I sold (to CarMax, better offer than Rivian) to my Rivian. When they delivered my truck last week I was given an NC DMV title application (for the registration, whether...

DeTom317, we are on the ocean side of 58 at about MM 18.5. Just put a hitch in the receiver this afternoon (my wife made me buy a new one w/o rust, just got back from Lowes). Will pull the boat down to the ramp one day soon! Give me a ping next time you are in town…

Yes in NC you need weighted plates for anything with a GVW over 7000 pounds, I think. I am transferring plates from a Silverado 1500 which required weighted plates (I have the plate just not the registration cad for it, which FWIW I got the title application notarized and sent to Rivian as...

All, here’s a followup on the second drive of my trip, just rolled into town. The return trip (direct, 345 miles) from Centreville VA to Emerald Isle NC was equally uneventful with great efficiency. Left Centreville with 98% SOC. Arrived at the Electrify America station in Rocky Mount NC (225...

Glad it’s going well! We are actually going to be in France most of August so I’ll likely miss you, sorry! -Joel

loucetious, 02/02/2020 order date Virginia has a lot of good wineries, especially in the Shenandoah foothills and on up toward Maryland. We stopped at Greenhill on this trip, to pick up a quarterly “shipment”

I still like my Bolt, and we’ll use it for under 225 miles. It is much more efficient. But you are right, the R1T is much more comfortable!

The issue is the speed, iRun. I kept it at 70. Didn’t measure GPS speed. BEVs in general suck power with a heavy foot… -Joel

BigE, my delivery driver said he’d also done several deliveries to Myrtle Beach… -Joel

Yes, they delivered it to my house on Emerald Isle, from the Richmond service center. My delivery driver said they were taking a steady stream of trucks to Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill. My reservation was Feb 2020. My delivery window was May/June, and guide contact was early May. -Joel

AxelR in terms of vehicle height, both conserve and all-purpose dynamically adjust height to be lower at highway speed, and comes back up when you come to a stoplight or something….so hopefully you won’t be embarrassed ? i understand about the speed, but in this case, I wanted to be efficient...

Re: climate control impacts, it’s my experience from my other EV (a 2020 Bolt) that AC has relatively little impact, as opposed to heat ?, but YMMV!
