We do a month long vacation every year and we do not have a garage. I leave my EV unplugged for 1 month long with around 80% charge. No issues whatsoever. You shouldn’t have any issue leaving your EV unplugged for 1 month - assuming you leave it with enough charge. NOTE: I have found that Tesla...
Very close to your situation. We have a model 3 (315 rated range) and ICE van. I plan to replace ICE with RIS or R1T. Wife use to be afraid of not be able to charge the EV during power outages and/or road trips but having driven Model 3 in roadtrips and seen first hand, gas stations closed...
I agree with the general sentiment of 190KW peak is a bit “underwhelming”. However, we probably still need to wait until testers go and see if the 190KW is sustainable for a much greater period of time or peak at 190KW and within few minutes starts to drop. It is possible that Rivian is been...
I totally agree with your sentiment. I bought my Model 3 RWD back in summer 2018 because Elon stated that anyone placing an order before June 30 2018 (I believe that is the right date) will get FREE cellular connection for duration of the ownership. I hope Rivian will take a similar approach and...
The other issue to consider is that Rivian doesn’t have traditional “dealership”. I wonder if that language is inserted purposely for traditional dealerships.

The configuration price of your vehicle with Rivian should be considered as the MSRP price. I don’t think where Rivian is doing the installation of the “accessories” matter.
EV Credits language in Reconciliation Bill
To start, all of this is subject to change, but the way it is right now, the language leaves Rivian SUV out of the all the incentives.
$4,000 base amount
$3,500 if the EV has a battery of at least 40kWh
$4,500 if the final assembly occurs at a...
I am with you. I think Rivian should put more than 2 chargers per site. I get it that this particular site seems to be for camping customers. Nevertheless, i hope Rivian deploy more chargers per site, particularly level 2, since those will be shared with all other EVs out there.
You beat me to it. I was planning to be in the area this friday and was going to take few pictures. Now, it looks like that site is no go. My sense is that site need some serious $ to modify & maintain the historical look of the building. I was hoping that they will buy the adjacent park as...
complete agree. I have a Tesla model 3 from 2018. Tesla later “upgraded“ the rated range from 315 to 325 or something close to that. I never saw any of that increase.
I want to caution about the enthusiasm of unlocking “additional miles” by using 2WD on highway. The EPA test states “part time 4WD”, which leads me to believe that part of the test were using 2WD (likely the highway portion). I know that someone has asked CS and the response was that the Rivian...
