  1. Motortrend tests R1T with 21" wheels -- "Quickest truck we've ever tested."

    I'm actually wondering if they reviewed the Ford Ranger EV or Chevy S-10 EV. But their website doesn't have a "search everything even from over 20 years ago" search
  2. Allocation email arrived: full 175 shares.

    All 175 for me. And if it tanks, that's what my eTrade account is for - To buy the dip. My name is Smithery Long, nice to meet you.
  3. Tesla Raj talking about Rivian after driving it.

    This has been my Nor-Central-SoCal experience as well. Superchargers sites are more plentiful and each site has way more chargers. I see EA chargers in many of the same parking lots as Superchargers, and since I'll be relying on them soon I often go take a look. This summer, at (4)...
  4. Rivian hit with Gender Discrimination Lawsuit by ex-sales and marketing head, Laura Schwab

    Yup. 16 years in SV myself. Seen it plenty. The "neutral view of not believing any accusers story until evidence corroborates" is FAR from unbiased. It objectively favors the system in power vs the individual claiming bias, which means it almost always favors the abuser. And the abused's take...
  5. Tax Credit Proposal - House Bill 11/3

    In 2010, nobody would've said these things about BEVs. Because in 2010, we'd already had: - The EV1 in the mid 90's - The Ford Ranger EV in the late 90's - The Chevy S10 EV in the late 90's - The 1st generation Rav4 EV in the late 90's - The Tesla Roadster, demonstrated in 2006 and first...
  6. Tax Credit Proposal - House Bill 11/3

    Can't tell if you're joking, trolling, or ... just extremely misinformed. But: - There's no mainstream EV with meaningful solar built-in - Because the physics of current battery/motor/solar inefficiencies means it's literally impossible - And even if it were technically possible, it would be...
  7. Tax Credit Proposal - House Bill 11/3

    Just pricing it out: Explore trim, max pack, off-road package, standard 21" wheels - $79,500 "Save" $7,500 and then buy a separate set of 20"s with AT tires - which I'll be wanting to do anyways. But you'd have to stick with a base color to do that, as well. However, it's all a nonstarter for...
  8. New Delivery Delay Confirmed - My R1T Delivery Pushed From October to end of February, 2022.

    There's a difference between guide contact and delivery, though...? They still could have all guide contacts by end of November, and still deliver all LE by Spring 2022. These two things are compatible.
  9. Rivian R1T LE Windows Sticker - VIN#102

    I would never argue that every single Leaf buyer should go for the 226mi pack instead of the 149mi pack. I would never argue the Bolt is compromised with a ~260mi range because it should be more. I would never argue the MachE is terrible at 238mi when it should be 338mi. The Polestar 2...
  10. Rivian R1T LE Windows Sticker - VIN#102

    I guarantee you'll be disappointed, then. It's not about range *estimation* - EV folks tend to learn to ignore the guess-o-meters. My Tesla is rated at 333wh/mi, and in mild (55+) temps on flat ground it gets that or better. But climbing a mountain in the cold (30-) and wind, you can easily...
  11. Rivian R1T LE Windows Sticker - VIN#102

    I see you own an EV, so you have first hand experience. So you're speaking from a place of experience. That makes sense, anecdotally, for you You know the ins and outs of charging curves, and cold weather, and highway speeds, and your Model Y works. For you. I (and I presume P100D) are not...
  12. Rivian R1T LE Windows Sticker - VIN#102

    Based on the details in my post you're replying to, I think you're asking me to confirm that I cannot make it on one charge if I: - If I charge to 280mi indicated range - Leave from my point in San Jose to North Lake Tahoe (231 miles indicated on Google Maps for the route I'd take) - Make the...
  13. 180 R1T produced / 156 R1T delivered as of Oct 31 -- per Updated Rivian S1 [11/1]

    If only "nearly all" trucks have gone to employees, then a non-zero number has gone to non-employees. With apologies to all the forum members who assume that a non-employee with a truck must necessarily be enough of an enthusiast to be on these forums and reveal themselves to be, but... This...
  14. Rivian R1T LE Windows Sticker - VIN#102

    I'm in the SF Bay Area, as well. Not sure where you're leaving from and what part of Yosemite you're going to, so I'll use my fairly common Bay Area example. Silicon Valley to Tahoe -> 230 miles. Can it be done on 20AT tires with the ~280mi range? I've tried in my Model X which has an actual...
  15. Rivian R1T LE Windows Sticker - VIN#102

    Not spam... Because he's not wrong. Range is king. Max pack 4 lyfe
  16. New Rivian Preview in Sonoma!

    It's the same days and location as the Sonoma First Mile Test Drive event, but to secure an actual test drive you had to have a preorder and get invited.
  17. Request for : First Mile Event and Test Drive invitees - Charging, UI, Efficiency Information

    When people use the "employees who pay money for a truck they then own are not customers" as part of their argument for... something... it often invalidates much of their argument. So... "agree to disagree" doesn't work if you're trying to establish shared understanding the facts and have an...
  18. Request for : First Mile Event and Test Drive invitees - Charging, UI, Efficiency Information

    Who is alleging this, you? I've never heard any such allegations other than jokes, well before meaningful info started to leak out. Oh I wish we'd just STOP this nonsense already. Rivian has produced a production vehicle and handed over complete control of that vehicle to a private party...
  19. Request for : First Mile Event and Test Drive invitees - Charging, UI, Efficiency Information

    Re: Efficiency numbers According to my communications for the upcoming Sonoma test drive event: The test drives will be 15m per driver, and will involve heavy acceleration/handling on pavement as well as a fair amount of dirt and rocks. It's not just that we won't be driving long enough to get...
  20. Has anyone on this forum received a confirmed delivery date?

    "They don't count, they work for Rivian!" "Even though they paid for their truck, they're NOT a customer delivery" "I don't care that they USED to work for Rivian, they once did! It's absolutely reasonable for someones employment history to make their purchase invalid!" ... <99 more steps of...
