Agree. Fisker has some good ideas. That pass through on the Alaska is definitely the right approach. It's something that Rivian has to incorporate for the R2t. I would think that a quad cab with a small box and no pass through would have limited sales. Without a distribution setup to get...

Yikes! According to what I have in front of me from their website, Kandi offers a 20.7 kWh battery or a 50 kWh battery in the K32. The range is 50 miles on the small battery and 107 miles on the large battery. The top speed is 60 mph. It only has a J1772 charging port. They state that cooling...

I voted yes, first Rivian. For me, the R1 series is too big. I like the off-road aspects. But, no family, no friends, not even a dog! And, despite all that space, the R1t manages to strike out when it comes to my kayak paddle and perhaps my skis. Then, there's the cost. In Canada it's a big...

All this talk about hydrogen is oil industry nonsense. Do the math, hydrogen consumes too much energy and money to produce. Transporting the stuff is a nightmare. That tiny hydrogen molecule is an escape artist. Everything that involves hydrogen requires a special solution. In Prince George...

Calvin, you are breaking my heart with all those snow pictures. In the south of BC, we got whacked with a warm, very wet atmospheric river a couple of weeks ago. Our snow was blown away. There are some ski hills that have closed and others with really bad conditions. Enjoy your skiing!

The render shows roof rails. Fully expect Rivian to stick with the current design of roof racks. Maybe they will even be able to use the exact same roof racks. That would lower their costs by eliminating development of a new rack and increasing the production run for the existing racks.

That T track is definitely interesting. I need to do some research to find out where I can get parts for it locally. Could be very useful in adding features to the Range rack.

The Range rack is what I have in mind if I do circle back to the R1t. The appeal of the Rivian system is that it appears to be something that could be removed or installed fairly quickly. How long do you think it would take you to remove your Range rack? How long to install? Is it practical to...

Okay, I'm beginning to suspect I should just go back to bed. I am likely using the wrong term to describe what I'm looking at. I am on the Rivian website, Canada version, and I am pushing the button that says 'Configure'. Whether I am configuring an R1s or R1t, I have the option to pick three...

Sounds like I made a mistake here. I was working from the configurator, assuming that if it showed there it would be a feature currently available.

Right off the top, there are factual errors about what vehicle features are available. Dual motor AWD is available. Standard battery pack is available. So his stealth price increase comment is inaccurate. In general, this article would not influence me as a buyer of Rivian products or as an...

If this rack includes locks, that would be a big plus.

If they are going to deliver on the promise of a cheaper vehicle, more than a few features in the R1 series will have to go. I'm looking for an overall package that hauls my outdoor gear to the places I want to go. Beyond that, I'm not sure what to expect from the R2.

If that drawing is a fair representation of what the R2s will be like, I'm interested. It appears to have the ground clearance, as well as approach/departure angles to handle some rough going. So many of these SUV's are big on sport, but not much on utility. At least not what I consider...

I don't know - that bivi suit - LOL. I'd be worried about Elmer Fudd coming after me with his shotgun.

I don't expect to see the airbag suspension in the R2 series. I would also expect a downgrade in the seats. Probably not ventilated. Also, lower grade fabric. What I would very much like to see for the R1t and R2t would be a 'door' in the back of the cab that opens up to permit carrying long...

I'm caught in a tug of war between watching global warming play out and loving the 2002 Toyota Tacoma I currently drive. Yes, I absolutely want an electric vehicle. I am convinced it is one of the important things we can do to reduce carbon emissions. But unfortunately/fortunately, I have what...

So, ha ha on me. I started to write here that there might be a reason the DC fast charger network came to a grinding halt in the northeast corner of BC, where this story is focused. That's oil and gas country. Then, I looked at PlugShare. Turns out there is a DC fast charger location under...

Well, this has been an interesting day. Out for a hike in beautiful weather. As I'm leaving the trail area, I suddenly realize there's a vehicle coming towards me with racetrack headlights. I could hardly believe it. For the first time, I was looking at a real R1t - none of this pics on the...

So many people complaining about various noises from their trucks. There are some obvious solutions out there - AC DC, Van Halen, Def Leppard!
