Or a $500 manual transfer switch and an inlet plug that can be used with the 30 amp plug in the F150's bed.

Care to share a reference for that quote?

It's not worth Rivian's effort at this point in time. I'm not aware of any third party systems that are certified for the V2L standard and available for purchase, so Rivian would have to produce their own equipment in order for it to make sense for them to enable this feature. The F150L has...

Whenever something unexplainable happens in an EV assume it's the 12V battery until proven otherwise.

I would only buy one if I owned a compass yellow R1. Otherwise this is the typical overpriced white label product that Dewalt sells outside of their core products.

The speculation is getting a bit crazy. I would bet the changes that the CFO mentioned equate to fewer miles of wire, less complex battery pack assembly and fewer silicon chips and that these changes will have little, if any, impact on charging speed, battery capacity or powertrain efficiency...

Ford shut down the Lightning line for 6 weeks for retooling and expansion of the line this summer so it's not that extraordinary in the industry.

They're also shipping new trucks with Prodigy CDs and preinstalled AOL instant messenger.

Well that's both disappointing and predictable.

Don't get too excited. The press release says it will be available to new and existing R1's. I suspect this just means that there will be an xm app that uses the rivian data plan like spotify does, not an ability to use SXM satellites. I have doubts that the satellite hardware is already...

We took delivery of our Lightning in Nashville in June 2022 and sold it in October 2023 when we bought our R1S Max Pack. We loved the Lightning and ultimately sold it because we wanted longer range and towing capability in a smaller package. The R1S is much better around town, parking lots and...

Are you offended that Ford is building any electric trucks at all?

I hate this functionality with a passion. Makes it hard to smooch my honey in private when we pull up to their parent's house.

Blue accent lights Sleigh bell unlock Pedestrians as snowmen Bikes as sleds door/frunk/hatch open with snow flakes Festive and non-denominational.

They did mine during another scheduled service center appoint so I don't know. Also not sure about the drilling but I know there was a tie-down strap already installed when we bought it.

Correction: while costing $15000 less than a Model Y.

A 3-ton vehicle should not be road legal IMO, especially if it's as under-braked as the Model S.

Does it come with a forklift for installation?

Great, another thread with owners of $80,000+ vehicles complaining about factory workers getting paid too much. Disclaimer: my dad was in a factory union and I had healthcare, food on the plate and a roof over our heads. He's now enjoying a humble but comfortable retirement.

Some (all?) Ford and GM factories in Mexico are unionized.
