  1. Potential Change to $7,500 EV Tax Credit

    I think Tesla did something like this for a little while, but what Rivian can do is sell me a "Max Pack Equipped " package for no markup over the 300 mile pack. Then charge me $10,000 once I get home for a software unlock of the extra capacity. Maybe to deter people from automatically ordering...
  2. Potential Change to $7,500 EV Tax Credit

    The Rivian I really want: Max Pack, Adventure Package w/OC interior, 20" AT w/spare, Canyon Red, charger, cross-bars for $88,050 ($88,050 after rebates) Compromise to get rebate: Max Pack, Explorer Package, 21" stock wheels, Canyon Red for $79,000 ($69,000 after rebates). I can get the spare...
  3. Rivian RT1 / R1S will be delivered with 80-90% charge

    Shouldn't batteries be stored around the middle of their charge. Keeping them on a truck or parking lot for awhile at 90% might not be good for the battery. Maybe I'm overly concerned as the time from charging to 90% to time of delivery will be short for awhile.
  4. New jobs posted today providing insight into Rivian's summer test drive tour plans

    This person should travel in an R1S with Airstream trailer. Hell, if they gave me this setup after the 4 months, I would do the job for free.
  5. New Official Rivian Adventure Network and Charging Station Info

    I just chatted with customer service: CS: Happy Friday! Justin here happy to help with any questions you may have! Me: Hi. I have a question about the dc fast charging network. There’s a statement: Charging rates of over 200kW initially and 300kW+ in the future. Will the R1T I’ve preordered...
  6. New Official Rivian Adventure Network and Charging Station Info

    I took a look at the ā€˜Charging’ page and see ā€œCharging rates of over 200kW initially and 300kW+ in the futureā€ in context of their DCFC network. My question is: Will the chargers be able to charge a current R1T,R1S at 300kW or do we need to wait for new vehicles?
  7. Thoughts on seeing a Rivian in person for the first time....

    I'm surprised they already have a max pack pre-production version built. Maybe it's ahead of schedule. I'm thinking for sure I'll get my max pack R1T this year... and it'll also be a Launch Edition
  8. What size is the AC aux power inverter in the R1T?

    What I figures the 11kW AC output would be from the charge port. An adapter would be needed to get to a 50 amp 240VAC plug. No reason that I know of the charger can’t be made to run in reverse.
  9. Possible Accessory Costs - How much will my R1T really be?

    I’m going to look into finding a used steel wheel and maybe tire at a local tire shop then buy my own jack. I expect it to be significantly cheaper. The only thing I won’t be able to buy on my own is that mount that holds it in the spare compartment. Hopefully whatever they do it’s not so...
  10. Rivian Service / Remote Care - Official Info Release!

    I wonder what type of loaner they lend out. Another Rivian? It's always nice to get a similar vehicle. Especially one I wouldn't have to fill with dirty old gasoline.
  11. Possible Accessory Costs - How much will my R1T really be?

    A basic steel wheel and full-size spare is all I need
  12. Possible Accessory Costs - How much will my R1T really be?

    I chatted online with their service crew. They said not including a spare hasn't been a complaint and that many vehicles now sell without them. I told him this is an issue and to send my complaint up the flagpole. Sure Carollas and Leafs might not carry a spare, but their competition is...
  13. Possible Accessory Costs - How much will my R1T really be?

    Automakers are removing spare tires to reduce weight to increase mileage. I think it's such BS though. I've used my spares no less than once every other year. Some times at night or in the middle of nowhere. Tow trucks will take way too long to get there. Plus, if you lose a tire with that 21"...
  14. Possible Accessory Costs - How much will my R1T really be?

    I just found out the spare tire isn't included. That's such BS. No other pickup truck ships without a spare. I had a Volvo V60 and got stranded in it without a spare. Bought the spare kit the next week from the dealer. $700 and only had a donut spare. Rivian won't be a nickel cheaper. This...
  15. What size is the AC aux power inverter in the R1T?

    I was told long ago at the mill valley event the 11kW charger can be run in reverse and put out 11kW AC. Hopefully this stays true
  16. Rivian Warranty information announced!

    So what happens if a battery overly degrades? Can it be replaced on these trucks or is it completely integral to the frame? If my truck has 69%capacity at 7 years are they totaling it?
  17. New Official Rivian Adventure Network and Charging Station Info

    Does anyone see a price for the home unit? I want to see how it compares to ChargePoint or others. also, is there a google embedded map or something like that? I’m curious exactly what roads the DCFC are on
  18. Patagonia to LA to Now | Electric Adventure Vehicles | Rivian Feature Video

    Two observations: 1) Camera to view what's in the bed? 2) LT 265/65R20 tires. LT tires are a bit much for a 6k lbs vehicle. My f-150 weighs about 6200 lbs and I don't use LT tires on it. I've bought LT tires on a Tundra before and regretted it. Braking and acceleration are worse. I lose fuel...
  19. Real Rivian Photos & Videos

    Do we think those are the white seats? Adventure or Explorer package? I think this is my second favorite configuration. I’m leaning towards the same here, but with red exterior.
