  1. R2 Charge Port Location is Moving to Driver's Side Rear (on Production Model)! - Confirms Rivian VP

    Well it is quite unfortunate that cost savings won out over common sense. No real downsides to passenger front.
  2. R2 Charge Port Location is Moving to Driver's Side Rear (on Production Model)! - Confirms Rivian VP

    Yes we are talking about EV's but it may be difficult to get someone to cross over if they have to deal with the charging hassles with a trailer. My last tow vehicle was not an EV. Too bad Tesla didn't put the charge port in the front. Large/Heavy trailers need more space to park have WDH...
  3. R2 Charge Port Location is Moving to Driver's Side Rear (on Production Model)! - Confirms Rivian VP

    What? EV 's make excellent short haul tow vehicles why would you want to limit your customer base with a poorly located charge port. Passenger front for the win. Huh, no one tows with mid size SUVs/CUVs? ? The rear port seems like complete foolishness. Cost saving's does not equal efficiency...
  4. Limited time 2.99% 60 months financing on new Dual Max R1S announced

    Only 2 MP -T's & 0 MP S's in shop for my area. Can still find the odd LE however.
  5. Towing a 17ft/2,200lb RV trailer with a Tesla Model X; reasons why an R1S could be a better tow vehicle

    The way I see it one only needs max range on road trips & towing. EPA EV efficiency #'s do not reflect road trip and/or towing efficiency #'s. On the Out of Spec 70mph range test there is only a 23/24 mile difference between the large & max. This would only be an additional 12-18 miles towing...
  6. Tesla is buying back my Cybertruck..

    I have had zero service issues in my area the 2 times (body alignment/other minor issue) I went. Well the R1T MP suffers less as far as range than the CT.
  7. Gen 2 R1S price hold

    There are plenty in Canada, even a few Launch Editions.
  8. Rumor of new battery size: Large+

    There will still be some unsold stock of the 23-24 models being sold after Oct 1, however the deeply discounted voucher pricing will have disappeared. I assume there there will be some sort of incentives to move the unsold stock however.
  9. 2024 R1S Quad Large vs 2025 R1S Dual Max

    I concur with what Midnight Rivian said. The difference of 410-320 is more reflective of city driving, on the hwy it is unlikely you will see more than a 30 mile difference with the same tires. We should see soon once OoS does the range test on the Tri-M. Also an additional 25k battery warranty...
  10. Rumor of new battery size: Large+

    They were really only a large + until the refresh. Why would anyone buy it. I guess they need to make money & justify the exorbitant cost of the make belief max. Yes with the refresh the whole product line seems to be less efficient with all the different configurations & still nothing to...
  11. Lucid Gravity vs R1S

    It's more like a station wagon, more competition for the Model X. They are using marketing terms like Adventure & Utility which in real terms it completely lacks compared to a R1S. If going that route I would go Gravity as I am really not a fan of the X styling or lack thereof. Since the...
  12. Gen 2 Standard > Large battery pack.

    I am also surprised about the various models when they are trying to streamline. 3. Towing is about KWH & hp/tq. I would go TM 4. I would disagree about the Quad being the Off-Road version as I understand it comes with the performance street tires & is too cost prohibitive for off-roading.
  13. 20" Inch Affordable high efficiency 20" wheels and 33" tires options (275/60R20)

    I am tracking to get 30k miles on my 20AT with plenty of towing, conserve & twisty hwy driving.
  14. RCV Rivian Vans run 1/4 mile

    Well the Mercedes looks better, how good the EV version I guess we will see. There is certainly no shortage of fail points & maintenance costs on the diesel versions, great to drive to though. I think I would agree on the conserve mode.
  15. Need advice > best config for gen 2 R1T ?

    So 70 miles more the your current QM is a deal killer? Honestly I doubt the TM-M or DM-M will be that much better than your QM based on previous G1 70mph range tests. I doubt the DM-M will be insufficient power wise but it is hard to step back power wise. I have heard on this forum that the DM...
  16. About Rivian's R1T build-to-order production strategy.

    The MP doesn't sell well due to the extremely poor value/kwh. I'd have been ok with a 11 module LFP. Bring back the Explore. Real world range difference with the same tires on the hwy and/or towing is negligible. The tri/quad has the improved hp/tq which is better for towing. Something is...
  17. KIA EV9 vs. Rivian R1S: Comprehensive Overview, Key Questions, Buy or Lease Scenarios?

    If you need/want an SUV get the R1S If all you need/want is a station wagon get the EV9
  18. How I Know Cybertruck Pre-Orders have TANKED on Sales

    It is very unlikely they will be producing the 500 mile, 3500lb payload, 14k tow rated with a properly located spare tire, so I would have to disagree. Oh, that gimmick range extender in the box does not count, I prefer to use the box for cargo not batteries & spare tires.
