  1. $24,950 SLATE EV Truck / SUV Info & News

    Yeah, I thought that might be a misprint it is so low. With that capacity, don't bother even putting a hitch on it. It can't tow anything more than one of those little Harbor Freight trailers with a few bags of concrete on it.
  2. $24,950 SLATE EV Truck / SUV Info & News

    I couldn't imagine a farm truck without 4wd (although many tractors are 2wd). Maybe that's just our place without well developed roads that needs 4wd. Farm vs ranch there, I suppose. Certainly Slate seems a good platform for low capability work trucks (i.e., some maintenance/inspection/repair...
  3. $24,950 SLATE EV Truck / SUV Info & News

    Apparently "composite" panels, which could mean plastic or fiberglass. These bolt on with hex nuts. Decent video came out today on YouTube with more details.
  4. $24,950 SLATE EV Truck / SUV Info & News

    Wow.... just read the specs. That is very bare bones! Will very happily keep my R1T.
  5. Owls

    I stand corrected and humbled. Thank you. Knew I shouldn't have trusted that AI search result about the origin of the Rivian hoot. I know we have the Easter screech owls in our area because of the "whinny" they make. Sounds like we must also have a horned owl I wasn't aware of. Go figure.
  6. Owls

    The owls at our place sometimes answer back, which is amusing. I don't think that a single hoot really bothers them. Rivian hoot is based on the Eastern Screech Owl, which is the same species in our woods. Glad it's not based on a horned owl, which is predatory to screech owls and could drive...
  7. Will you convert your R1 reservation into an order or are you reconsidering it?

    Our R1T does everything we want so I personally don't expect we will convert our R2 rez into an order. Was thinking as a replacement for my wife's Leaf, but Nissan just put a free new battery in it, so we will likely keep it longer. Don't see a need to cancel. Had a day 1 CT res I'm so relieved...
  8. What fits in gear tunnel?

    Similar is available at other retailers. This one at Lowe's comes in yellow/black https://www.lowes.com/pd/Project-Source-Store-All-4pk/5015577737 Less expensive than Costco delivery and no need for a membership.
  9. What fits in gear tunnel?

    I have used if for the same but found it more trouble than it is worth, especially if the nucs aren't perfectly clean on the outside. Strap my hives down in the bed, under a soft tonneau. It is more secure and provides some ventilation for them. Less mess and no possibly of the girls finding...
  10. Rivian - Please give us REGULAR Cruise Control

    The fact that my very next sentence sentence refutes that didn't register with you?! Not sure if that is lack of reading comprehension or black belt troll cherry picking skills on your part.
  11. When did you change your tire (mileage / average life)?

    Also interested in results. I'm still on my original '21s at 16k with a rotation at 10k. Vehicle sat in a salvage lot for 8 months so it's a bit of an outlier.
  12. Rivian - Please give us REGULAR Cruise Control

    I feel a bit wronged that you quoted me partially and then wrote "bullshit". Here is what I wrote:
  13. Rivian buy back: what should my next vehicle be?

    Just my 2 cents, but if you are coming out of an R1T and wanted something similar but not Rivian, you might consider the Chevy Silverado EV (or one of the sister trucks from GM). I have driven those long distance while my R1T was in SC and they seem to hold up well. A bit larger in all...
  14. Anyone have issues with Chromecast/YouTube on their R1S?

    This happened for me on my '23 R1T today following update to 2025.10.01. Hard reset did not resolve.
  15. Insane towing range estimate

    Just towed our empty boat trailer from San Antonio to Corpus Christi yesterday. Our estimates weren't nearly as wacky as the OP, but they were certainly off quite a bit. It kept trying to force a stop at a fast charger, but we stuck to our guns and arrived with 60 miles in reserve. To quote my...
  16. Mercedes Benz Charging as Alternative to Tesla

    Couple of quick updates: I noticed that Rivian navigation showed the MB chargers the day after I made this post. Think that means I somehow missed that and made a mistake about the listing. As of today, I see that they changed our every other CCS port with a NACS port. Oddly enough, hey chose...
  17. R1T left taillight replace.

    Yup. Mine had a crack/hole in it from OO damage. Repaired it with 3M kit and it works fine but it isn't pretty. Then again, replacing it without also replacing my dinged tailgate is probably silly.
  18. Airport Parking Severe Range Loss despite Transport Mode

    Crazy thought... My Volvo similarly brick once at the airport after a long trip. My solution was to install a battery saver device that disconnects the 12v battery when voltage reaches a certain level. Remote button that I have routed to the outside in a hidden location allows you to turn it...
