All that vehicle drama and you went hunting for cows????? All camo'ed and you guys shot a cow in an open field with a dirt road through it?????? I have absolutely no issues with hunting, but I would have a little more pride than have my picture taken with a cow I shot in an open field with a...

What route did you take? Elevation gain, speed, and cooler temps always dictate taking the long way to hit an extra charger even if you think you don't need it. I would have spent the extra 30 minutes to an hour and gone home via Salina just to hit the charger there. Or gone through Price...

The Taycan is already the king of charging. I am in the middle of a 2,500 mile road trip in my 2022 Taycan Cross Turismo 4s and I have been hitting initial 260kW speeds ups to 50% or 55% battery levels on most of the Electrify America chargers I have hit in Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, and...

Much of the blame for the lack of charging infrastructure in Southern Utah can be blamed on the State of Utah. The State understands the economic benefit the national parks bring to Utah, so why not help facilitate EV charging in the area? No charging company will want to place high speed...

Joe: You forgot the most important part: pictures!!! We want to see what you are up to on your road trip.

Man, after reading the comments on this thread, remind me to keep any potential Rivian issues to myself!! Especially the self inflicted ones!

Brian, I live in central Denver. If I waved every time I saw a Rivian I would be waving more than the parade queen at a 4th of July parade! I am not a bad person, I promise!

On my next drive from Denver to Lawrence, KS I plan to try the 100kW charger in Goodland since I have not used it before. If it is reliable, and easy to use, I am planning making that my last charging stop on the return drive back from Lawrence to Denver. In regards to more charging options...

You probably know this, but make sure you time your stops to hit the Burlington chargers instead of the Electrify America chargers in Flagler. That EA charging location in Flagler has to be the worst in the network. I made this mistake on my drive from Lawrence, KS back to Denver in...

Sorry to hear about your troubles. I bought my R1T in June, and it has been to the Denver service center 7 times since I purchased it. I have the mobile van coming out this Friday to repair a faulty airbag, so I will count that as an 8th visit, even though they are coming to me. Good luck...

You have gotten some great advice on charging during a road trip, but you also need to remember the impact of high speeds, elevation change, and weather have on your range while on road trips. The faster you go the lower your efficiency will be, which will negatively impact your range. You...

I have a little bit of a different view point. Absolutely nothing is perfect - except for maybe Pamela Anderson in the early 90's - so you pick the vehicle that works best for what you need. I prefer a vehicle that has feel and is confident on the road. Both my cars feel that way, but...

To start with, I am glad the trip went well so far. Second, seems like you really need this vacation/time off. If you are on the internet admitting to eating at a "good Mexican restaurant in mall" in Florida it maybe time for that mental reset that comes with time off. Us folks in the...

“The Cybertruck is a low polygon joke that only exists in the fever dreams of Tesla fans that stands high on the smell of Elon Musk’s flatulences.” This. We can only hope that the Cybertruck bombs and becomes such an financial drag on Tesla that they are forced to spin off the Supercharging...

Glad to know I am not alone with the scuffs, scratches, and dents. I put a honker of a dent in the tail gate by banging my front mountain bike wheel into it. After $600 later at a dent repair place, it looks better, but still noticeable. I keep the tailgate pad on full time now just as an...

Holy crap, you guys packed a lot of gear into that truck. You nicknamed your R1T the "Iron Hippo?" Kind of ironic since I have found that just looking at my truck the wrong way puts a scratch or dent in it. That is the challenge of Rivian designers trying to cut weight on the vehicle - super...

I ditched my Lightning for a Rivian R1T. I like the Lightning, but found it horribly inefficient at highway speeds, and in the severe cold. One item you forgot to mention is Ford's atrocious charging curve. It makes it almost unusable as a long distance cruiser. 200 to 225 mile range at...

Avoid the Frisco Electrify Charger unless you plan poorly and absolutely have to charge there to avoid being stranded on I-70. If you want easy, then do Denver to Glenwood Springs and top off at the EA chargers at the Target. If you want scenic, then take 285 to Buena Vista, take a right and...

Sorry to hear about your troubles with the R1S. I sure it is frustrating dealing with the service team at Rivian since from what I hear they are just overwhelmed at this point. Luckily for me, the R1T is my fun car, so I honestly don't even know if it rattles or makes weird noises. I have...
