Yes ,I should have clarified that point. I am definitely not expecting 300 miles of highway range. I tried to convince my wife to let me drive straight through to st.louis, 1515 miles, but the boss said hell no. I need to slow down more on things like that, so I think a Rivian will be a huge...
I will be happy with a realistic 300 miles on 20 inch rims for the large pack. Anything above that is gravy. We just drove to Missouri and spent time looking at how long the stops were and miles driven between stops. I feel confident that the large pack can do the same trip with a little bit...
Yeah, I am embellishing a little bit. We have had a good monsoon season. The mountains around Phoenix have higher than usual amount of greeneryriggt now. The lightning the last few weeks has also been pretty great.
Funny enough, there is a water bottling plant just a few miles west of the alleged site. On top of that, the data center that apple runs is close by also. Google is building a data center near there as well, all of which requires a lot of water.?
My personal opinion is that large batteries in the trailer are not optimal. Also, for a family with several kids, this would not be practical. With that said, I hope that trailers do become more aerodynamic. I would prefer to see pull through charging stations become more ubiquitous.
@DuckTruck Was there anything mentioned about towing features? This is something that really interests me as it will become our primary tow rig for our travel trailer. Thanks.
I remember being a 16 year old kid when my Dad purchased a new truck. It had been a long time since he owned something so nice and he had worked so hard to get back to that point. We jumped in his truck and he immediately turned on I Love Rock and Roll. I may just do the same for him in his...
After thinking about this more, if Rivian eventually built a SUV this size, I would be interested in a max pack that could tow the same 11k lbs as the R1T.
I am happy with my current LE configuration, and optimistic that the interior space is adequate for our needs.
My wife and I are going to drive up from Phoenix for the day. We aren't sure if it will be Friday or Saturday. We will just make a day trip of it. I am excited to finally see the Rivian.
