It's quite the opposite of what you're imagining with an EV. The first 10% drains the fastest due to the need for conditioning of the cabin, battery, and systems. The bottom 15-20% will actually last the longest as all EVs start to conserve energy automatically around that point. Thankfully...

Cool test! Confirms the guesswork many of us EV owners did in the other thread.

I don't know what screen we're talking about exactly but the kWh/100 mi number (basically the same as mile/kWh just flipped around a bit) is accurate in every EV I've driven. As @SeaGeo mentions it could be rounded but I doubt it is rounded to a really significant extent. Generally the...

270 mile range is likely the accurate real world number. Welcome to the world of the terrible EPA and completely bogus marketing range numbers.

We already have figured they'll be alternating batches of R1Ts with the R1S. Considering they haven't produced a significant number of sellable R1Ts it's not surprising we aren't seeing R1S. Until they R1Ts to real customers they won't bother with the R1S.

Yeah, it's odd and a bit disconcerting to be honest.

Yes. They're prioritizing locations that are very near service centers and that are ideal for marketing. So if you're not in a major, EV friendly city (NYC, Denver, Seattle, LA probably the big 4).. good luck!

Cool story. Also, RTTs are awesome.

Do your own homework or contact a tire company with this question, I'm happy with ATs and not going to search for you. There are lots of tires available that will work fine for 275/60/20 but when you'll be able to get them is an entirely different story, global tire shortages and all. The 21" is...

Tirerack is very low on tire options right now, especially anything 20". It's not indicative of what will be available later, just a supply shortage. 20" is a common size and should have good options.

Are you serious? This stuff is why every trunk has a release inside of it. The number 1 thing is the tunnel is not crashed tested for human (or animal) life and could very well be a crumble zone. That alone should tell you enough. Plus it doesn't get circulation/climate as it's not part of the...

It's not "handling it" it's the fact that it will be an extremely tight fit in city parking lots and likely get dinged often as a result. A truck is a truck and who cares but the R1S lives in a weird space with how WIDE it is. It's much wider than a full sized range rover!

Yeah, the R1T is less of an issue as a truck but the R1S is huge. I wouldn't be surprised if people see/drive it and go for one of the eight hundred 5 seat SUV options coming out instead. The width especially is a big ouchie. Very wide cars. There's certainly a niche for big suvs but there is...

There are about 8,000 posts speculating on Limestone. We don't know.

You're going to pay $70k+ for a Rivian and then be too cheap to get a professional install of PPF? Home installed ppf looks horrendous, always. I'm sure your family will tell you it looks great but every car person will go "Oh a Rivian! Cool! ... wait, why does it look so awful??"

If you'd kindly post photos of the trip computer efficiency numbers for any trips you do of decent length, with approximate outside temperature as well, that'd be fantastic! At the end of the day real world range/efficiency is going to be the big factor for those who want to use it as an...

I wonder how long it takes Rivian to deliver these cars from the time of informing someone of production. Ie.. "Hey, we have a car coming off the line that fits your build.. do you want it?" It must be at least 2-3 weeks. So we're likely already looking at mid-February as best case for the...

Quality & value look good for the price point but not as amazing as people make it sound. If you're into serious off roading (and if it does in fact perform very well there, which early tests seem to indicate) that adds a lot of extra value. If you really really need the (likely quite cramped)...

Are there any EVs without heat pumps that preheat the battery? I'm actually not sure on this one.

Pretty decent first impressions! I'm really curious to see what below freezing temperature does to range as Rivian has chosen not to add a heat pump or proper cold weather preconditioning. Hopefully we can get some more specific range tests, the only accurate ones being from 100% to 5% at a...
