My guess right now is for Rivian to phase out the Large pack. It'll be too difficult to maintain two designs with two battery suppliers for only a small difference in range. I'll bet their in-house gigafactory will focus on the max pack LFP chemistry then design a regular and max pack around...

You'd better prepare yourself for that truck to cost at least $120k with a battery like that.

What is not mentioned by Rivian is if there's a Conserve Mode on the dual motor configurations. If they decide not to have that mechanical disconnect on the output shaft of the motors for the dual motor configuration then the difference in range between max and large packs is very small when you...

We need to see a fly rod for scale

It's not surprising that a group of people who are buying a vehicle with four independent motors are heavily focused on traction. However, I went from a F-150 with 4WD + rear locker and 3 peak snow tires to the Rivian with 21s. I have been much better off driving on hilly, snow covered roads...

Here’s my before and after update range with 21s. Anyone know why I didnt get the EPA range of 314 before. What are others with 21s getting now? I pressed the Reset History button on the screen just before taking these photos.

short version: all the things the jeep could do, the Rivian can do. The thing that the jeep couldn't do, the Rivian couldn't do either. It's a tie.

I just got an R1 Shop invite, but have a Max Pack spec'd. This feels like a glitch. I am very confident that the R1 Shop doesn't have a max pack in stock now or anytime soon. Anyone else get this? Backstory: I dropped a second deposit once I realized max pack was getting delayed. Got an R1T...

PG&E in California charges $0.41/kWh for second tier rates. It's a total racket

This one is near an existing EA charger. I’d rather RANs are built in the gaps

I had a 2011 F-150 that I needed to drop the axle to grease the spline about every other year. Not a big deal, but this sound I hear on the Rivian came back in under 1,000 miles of driving. This isn't great.

I should have posted a follow up: 12/19/22 - Service appointment. They take off the bolted connection from the hub to the shaft and grease it. Sound is gone! 1/5/23 - Sound is back! created a new service ticket. Advisor said this is a common problem and grease only fixes it some of the time...

I understand where you're coming from here. I do wonder if a Large pack Rivian can take your boat 151 miles though. While I don't have a trailer now, I've probably towed 100k miles in my life everything from a 8,000lb camper to a 3,000lb boat. With the camper I'd go from 20mpg hwy to 9mpg, but...

This is the the "chicken and egg" situation we're in here. Someone is very interested in an EV, but doesn't buy one because the charging infrastructure isn't there yet. The charging infrastructure isn't there yet because people are still buying ICE vehicles over EVs. I have my R1T and a diesel...

I'm seeing less of a reason for an upsell on the Max Pack. If that large battery can't charge in the same amount of time or less than the Large Pack then it really won't save much time overall on those long drives. It's a big cost increase for limited use. People might be better off using their...

what is the time stamp where they confirm that the battery won't be 800V? I can't seem to find it

The vehicle has a cell phone data plan that Rivian has yet to charge money for. I think it uses the AT&T networks

I have the 21s and my truck has 100% SoC range of 301 miles in All-Purpose mode since day one. It never changes regardless of weather or driving habits. Have 10k miles on the odometer and still says 301 miles range.

We have clues that the max pack is 800V. Might be incompatible with the quad motor and only work on the newly design dual motors

How much time until the quad motor drive is gone from all? They might be looking to squeeze out Bosch and insource their motors.
