This screams denial. CT will be in production by end of year. Following that, half the Rivian orders will cancel and those who don’t, will lose a ton in resale value. I’m not a Elon hugger but there has been a lot of work done last year to the factory to produce this. When it arrives, no matter...

Agree with this. Cybertruck is going to crush Rivian. Rivian will become boutique and barely survive.

Good choice. Hitch is super useful and good value.

When you put it that way..wow. Ugh. How is that good for environment.

Based on current production alone, there is a waste of 21,000,000 kw per year due to vampire drain. That’s unacceptable.

Part of snow mode should keep handles out so you can open truck. Or enable the door pop feature like Tesla has now so you can open door without use of handle.

Heat pump makes a big difference. Tesla are just so much more efficient.

That’s expensive. And wasteful. Wonder if charger keeps vehicle awake.

Probably need 2x that to cover home electricity and variances beyond the wh/mi used. Driving 13k miles last year with a MY but small house, we used 1000kw per month. Winter months are about 1/3 the production rate of summer at best in California. I bet you’ll need a 15kw southern facing PV...

3.7 AB is the number for M3 long range.

Excellent photos. Great color contrast. Good eye for landscape and positioning. Excellent post.

Tesla allows you to connect to your phone hot spot for network. Presume Tivian will do the same.

No need to precondition to drive to work. Period. It only improves cabin temp and lowers wh/mi at the expense of using more house energy. If you don’t need every drop of range or cabin fully warm, preconditioning isn’t necessary.

Nice write up but this is a better trip for van life than EV truck. ?

Y’all should be loving Tesla. They set the bar and pathway for BEV to be a reality. They also se lt the bar in terms of charging production rates, software updates, and capability. It’s not an off-road vehicle but I bet 95% of the users here don’t take it on anything more than a forest road and...

Not a troll but just saying, Rivian is a great mall crawler. Adventure vehicle, I think not. Unless you like stressful adventures that waste time and energy.

None of this would happen in a Model X. So disappointing to read this.

Tesla at 135K OTD for a base model and a Rivian R1S is $30k cheaper easily. That 30k can pay for a lot of rental cars and other things where the R1S is deficient.

You don’t want HB in active snow conditions. It acts as a mirror for the light and blinds you from seeing further ahead.
