Good feedback, keep it coming!
I did casually shop ICE trucks but I'm willing to deal with some charging issues over everything that comes with ICE ownership (weekly gas station visits, transmissions, noise, smell, slow, etc) plus we know that the charging experience is getting better over...
@PAFDenver you should download the apps and create accounts up front. None of the Charge point or EV GO chargers I visited had functional credit card readers, and at EA I've still had issues swiping.
Tesla's supercharger network is a gold mine - because it's reliable.
So far, every other EV charging company is producing unreliable chargers and are lacking maintenance. I'm not sure handing the supercharger keys to anyone else is a good idea.
Let them use the connector, let them compete on...
Charging related, but I was in a Polestar 2 not a Rivian.
Bay Area
Last night I needed just a quick energy boost to get home. We are talking a 5 minute charge stop. I could have driven the Model 3, but hey it's just a short stop no big deal, right? Wrong.
1st went to a Chargepoint station with...
Great News! I'm happy we are approaching a common plug standard in North America. It will take some time, but it's going the right direction!
MAKE IT PLUG AND CHARGE
When do we get that functionality for EA and Tesla? Would be so nice to link your accounts in the Rivian App and just plug in -...
I thought the Rivian manual was a 4 panel?
This looks a lot like Bf3s solution that's been around for a while.
*Edit: nvm, now I see the construction on those pics, nice.
(1) OTHER Chargers allowed to use the NACS Connector: Good
+ Gives Teslas more places to charge and promotes Charger competition, allows other Car Mfg to consider adoption
(2) OTHER Car Mfg adopting the NACS port: Good
+ It's smaller, lighter, and easier to use. It also locks to vehicle while...
Very happy with the quality of the Rockymounts Afterparty.
Had to remove the lock washer due to the R1T thick hitch receiver, otherwise went together easy.
Tucks against the truck neatly, should be able to close the garage while installed ?
Farley all over the news these days. He will be dreading the day that the Rivian EDV goes public and competes directly with his Transit vans. From what I've read, these small fleet contractors absolutely LOVE electric and lowers their overall running costs significantly vs gas/diesel.
As soon as the Dual Motors hit with their silver accents and less power, the quad motors will start to see some value appreciation I think and move back up towards post March MSRP. All of the current reseller data is based on only one model available. Dual Motors launching now cost the same or...
So tempting to update now, but I'm heading off on a camping trip and my truck works so I guess I'll hold off!
Curiously, my Paak has gotten better on its own recently. No idea why, but the handles are popping out upon walkup now when before I had to wait. (Pixel 7 Pro)
It's still imperfect. I...
Just sold my Thule T2 Pro XTR which was a complete disappointment and will likely keep me from buying anything Thule moving forward. Just poor quality, and for near $900? Unacceptable.
RockyMounts Afterparty is now here as the replacement! Can't wait to try it out.
Thanks for all the feedback.
I know these are E rated and all, but how does it handle the 7200 lb weight and 835 HP of the R1T?
- Any loss of turn in feel or grip when accelerating hard?
- Do you feel more or less sidewall squish?
Just trying to gauge how much tires may be modified for the application here with these...
