    https://insideevs.com/news/679618/alpha-wolf-truck-working-prototype-video/ The no-nonsense light-duty truck has a base power output of 284 hp and a targeted base range of 255 miles. Aug 01, 2023 at 4:00am ET By: Iulian Dnistran Alpha Motor Corporation, the California-based EV startup that...
  2. Motortrend: We ran our Rivian to zero battery charge / range. What happened didn't go well.

    But the entire premise of MT’s ā€œexperimentā€ was to run it dry, and see what happens (FAFO). They didn’t ignore all the warnings like idiots, they did it on purpose ... and openly write, many times, how most owners wouldn’t, that the truck tried really hard to get them to stop, etc. but the point...
  3. 7 major automakers launch EV charging network [Not EA] -- GM, Stellantis, Hyundai, Kia, Honda, BMW, Mercedes

    Yeah, I chatted with them a bit, explained why they couldn’t (currently) use RAN chargers, shared some general EV ā€œknowledgeā€ to help get them started … along with recommending resources like PlugShare, watching Out of Spec Reviews, etc.
  4. 7 major automakers launch EV charging network [Not EA] -- GM, Stellantis, Hyundai, Kia, Honda, BMW, Mercedes

    It’s a Solterra, but anyway … Talked to the owners, FWIW. They’d just picked the car up that day, and said the Subaru dealer told them to ā€œjust try any charger, as most will workā€. They couldn’t figure out why the RAN wouldn’t connect. This just highlights how inadequate dealerships are in the...
  5. Tire question - Cooper Rugged Trek on 22”

    I’ve had Conti TerrainContact ATs (in OE size) on mine for over 6000 miles and can highly recommend them. https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/the-blinker-fluid-el-cap-granite-r1t-delivery-spec-build-journal.14285/post-315348 Range impact in mixed driving is minimal and even on long...
  6. Tesla: "First Cybertruck Built at Giga Texas! ?"

    I see what you see now. That implies it has frameless door glass? Or is the optical illusion really that crazy?
  7. Tesla: "First Cybertruck Built at Giga Texas! ?"

    Is the driver’s door missing?
  8. Roof cargo box recommendations

    I ran mine backwards over the bed of my Raptor for years, and super bummed I couldn’t make it work that way on the Rivian. I even went to our local rack shop to test fit several different models (smaller/shorter) and none worked with the set (fixed) mount points for the cross bars. Even if they...
  9. What do you use your R1T bed for? (Picture Edition)

    Have a SUP rack, but sometimes throwing them in the bed is just easier for the 5 min drive to the river. (Secured with ratchet straps)
  10. Roof cargo box recommendations

    I’ll just add a link to my comments in that thread, since the range hit is definitely more than 3% if you are road tripping on open highways/interstates (i.e., long distances at more sustained speeds). Around town, local stuff, I don’t find it to be much of a hit (3% is probably about right)...
  11. Did the .22 update add …

    Exactly. This is why the update, whenever it happened, stood out. I would often look at the display graphic during regen braking to see what it showed, to help understand what people behind me might be seeing (in terms of when brake lights come on). So when I saw the HCMBLs illuminate after .22...
  12. Did the .22 update add …

    Interesting. I checked a couple photos/videos from my road trip in late May on software .18 and only have glow, no lights … Noticed that too. Don’t care for it, if I’m honest. LOL. Me too brother ... me too
  13. Did the .22 update add …

    … brake lights to the Unreal Engine graphic in the driver display. I only remember a red ā€œglowā€ when braking before, but not the actual brake lights. Looked back at some photos/videos I have and they indeed only show a glow at the rear of the truck when braking. Almost immediately after the .22...
  14. What will you name your Rivian?

    Mine was affectionately named ā€˜Baby Shark’
  15. Onboard Charger AC Charging Disabled [Customer Satisfaction Campaign Advisory] for 2022-2023 Rivian R1T / R1S --- (? RCA-34-23-002-1)

    Interesting. My T is a Jan 23 build and I’ve zero issues charging on anything ... from 120 (at AirBnB) to 240 / Level 2 (I plug in several times a week to my Rivian home charger) to DCFC.
  16. Anyone worried about privacy issues?

    So you live thinking someone or some group is out there establishing ā€œpatterns of lifeā€ on you? Do you alter when you turn lights on and off at home, or which direction you drive to work and what times you leave? I mean, someone could be sitting across the street from your house right now...
  17. Oregon Trip Report: Bend to Blue River

    Good data and trip report. I’ve used that 50kW EVCS charger a couple times and it’s definitely a lifeline. As you noted, it’s also great for towing; the EVCS in Sisters won’t accommodate a trailer so you have to unhook.
  18. 22-ON Rivian R1T 4ft 6in Box (w/ OEM tonneau track) by Agricover

    It’s all in the comparison table in that link. The only differences really are the Pro only comes in diamond tread pattern and has a higher load capacity.
