Just picked up my R1T from the local tire shop, getting a rotation at 6,000 miles (4 wheel only, did not rotate in the spare). I took in my set of lift pucks (bought last fall from 1EV, via Amazon). The shop said as long as I had pucks, no worries, they did cars with pucks frequently. Per the...

I was unhooking my boat trailer today after a fishing trip. The ball stuck on the hitch (old heavy trailer) and I tried to wiggle the truck (like I used to do with the Silverado which preceded the Rivian) to release the pressure so the trailer would release the ball… It worked…too well. With...

Today, we drove the Rivian from Centreville VA to Emerald Isle NC, 344 miles after a weekend of visiting the grandkids. Stop and roll traffic from Dumfries to Fredericksburg, then a 30 minute traffic jam just inside the NC line. 70 mph, traffic permitting, but I did stay out of the left lane. We...

I did have a tailwind, but a good result…Emerald Isle NC to Charleston SC, 260 miles, 3.1 m/kWh. A mix of 35, 45, 55, 65, and 70 mph. Ran at least the speed limit, but not much over. Will post the equivalent (with a headwind) tomorrow!

It was a beautiful September day at Emerald Isle. Air temps in the mid 80s, water temp still hanging about 80. Since it’s beach driving season (and I live about a quarter mile from the beach and a half mile from the drive over ramp) we loaded up to enjoy the day for a couple hours. Stopped at...

We took our granddaughter on a 2 night Cub Scout camporee this weekend (her parents have a 4 month old at home!). She lives in northern Virginia and we live in coastal NC. It was a 900 mile round trip from Friday to Sunday, from Emerald Isle NC TO Gore VA via Centreville VA. On secondary roads...

One of my use cases is pulling my boat to the ramp (only a mile away). I decided that today was a good day to go fill up the gas tank on the boat (rainy Friday, before all the weekend tourists come later today). So I hooked up and off I went to a gas station with non ethanol (aka boat gas) and...

When my R1T was delivered on June 28, it had the standard 90 day Illinois tag. I’d read on this forum about issues with registration taking more than 90 days and asked my guide. He acknowledged that there were issues, and asked if I’d like to self-register. I said yes, and he sent in a ticket to...

My wife (Jan) and lab (Zefram) and I got away for a short trip to the NC mountains. We stuffed the R1T full of camping gear (tent, screen room, camp kitchen, etc.) and headed out from our home at Emerald Isle to a Blue Ridge Parkway campground near Blowing Rock. We drove a total of 732 miles...

I received my R1T on Tuesday June 28, and today (July 1) we drove the 385 miles from Emerald Isle, NC to Centreville VA (via Middleburg for a winery visit). We used Conserve mode, and left the house with a 98% SOC. We’d first planned to charge in Emporia VA, but as we went along, battery...
