I'm just to the north of DuckTruck, in British Columbia. We are definitely not on a low sodium diet! We basically will dump anything and everything on the roads. Ya, there's probably a kitchen sink or two out there as the snow melts away. But, mostly it's just sand and salt. The result shows...

You're way too late on this one. Our covert operatives, William Shatner, Michael J. Fox and Neil Young, have already infiltrated your society. They are now laying the groundwork for the big invasion. It was going to happen last year. But, when Rivian was forced to push their schedule back, the...

Based on the Rivian videos covering off-road handling, rock work and winter testing, I think the Rivian platform is going to get very high marks for driving in snow. I suspect I will be in for a big adjustment when I start driving my Rivian R1t in snow. My current truck is basically a 'dumb'...

It's hard to tell how they factor in the exchange rate. For GM and Ford, it might not be as big an issue. They manufacture some vehicles in Canada. Plus they might get some kind of credit for US-made vehicles that include some parts made in Canada. Tesla changes its price so often, it is hard...

" Will pricing always be in U.S and then converted at the time of purchase....or will Rivian fix the Canadian dollar price? " There's the question I would like to see addressed. Does the Canadian price fluctuate as the currency changes. The irony here is that the Canadian Loonie is a...

In the write-ups about the Rivian vehicle in the Rebelle Rally, the navigator was described as very short. It was also stated that she was having some awkward moments getting into the vehicle. I seem to remember reading that Rivian paid attention to comments from the team and would be doing...

For your route to Whistler, I have a few questions about what exactly we're looking at there. For the eastern Fraser Valley, it looks like there is one in Hope and another in Chilliwack or Abbotsford. I would think, near the border crossing in Abbotsford. The next two west, look like Surrey or...

A few years back, I read about someone who drove a Model X to Tuktoyaktuk. To get through northeastern BC and the northern half of the Yukon, I can only assume the driver had some kind of special help. Perhaps he contacted the electric utilities ahead of time and they made something available...

I'm a little surprised at the general direction of the chargers in BC. There is a clear route from Vancouver to Calgary, a connection up to Whistler and chargers in the southern half of Vancouver Island. But, there is nothing connecting up to Alaska. That leaves the chargers in Alaska on a bit...

I opted for over 10% less than EPA range. In general, I expect to drop more than 10% in the winter and more like 5% in the summer. However, I do very little city driving. And, I'll be driving a lot faster than that 48 mph they use in calculating the EPA rating. And, I'll be doing that driving...

Pretty soon, these guides will be at your door selling boxes of little R1t and R1s shaped cookies.

This is the source picture the artist is working from. The gear tunnel does appear larger - or is that just the angle?

I know there have been plenty of discussions recently, in various threads, about extended cab versions of the R1t. Add to that, there have also been discussions about the bed length, which kind of touches on the cab length discussion. But, after looking at the artist's rendering of an extended...

With reference to the 160# weight limit on the roof racks, is that per roof rack or spread over two racks?

Got mine yesterday, too. I was kind of hoping for a Hot Wheels version of the R1t. While a toy R1t might be a little underwhelming parked in the garage, it would still feel like step one towards getting the real truck. There would be an actual R1t in my garage - just not one that I could drive!

It probably won't be an issue, but my first thought on seeing this video was that I could get my knuckles rapped with this thing. This'll help keep the aging reflexes sharp.

Okay, I hadn't come across this before. Kind of throws a wrench into battery upgrading!

That's true RobBot, it wouldn't be cheap to replace a battery. I would hope there would still be some value in the li-ion battery, either as a second use battery or for recycled materials, to help defray upgrade costs. Another factor might be the vehicle itself. Can it be replaced with a...

Assuming that what we are looking at is close to the finished product, it would appear that box buttons release latches for the gear tunnel and the tailgate (as others have noted). I wonder if there is another option for opening the gear tunnel or dropping the tailgate (damped, dampened...

electruck suggests that the value of lithium-ion powered Rivian's will collapse on the introduction of a solid state battery. But is that the case? Shouldn't it be possible to swap out the li-ion battery for a solid state battery? This might require a software adjustment, but I would think this...
