Nothing is going to be perfect, that includes apps that help you find locations to charge. As much as it sucks, you will have to look at a couple of apps just to cover all of your bases. Traditionally, the Electrify America map will take care of your long distance charging needs. The real...

I do the 750 miles from Denver to Vegas all the time in my Taycan, and I have done Scottsdale to Denver a couple of times in a single day. Those kinds of distances in an EV make for a long day, but if you get decent charging speeds it is very doable. Since you are splitting the driving...

If you did not have traffic going the other way on the other side of the highway in the picture it would hard to tell if that thing is coming or going. Very odd design.

Holy crap!!! Appreciate you taking one for the team. That is a looooooooooong time to get to 100%. I wouldn't have that kind of patience.

Sounds like you guys had a great trip. But, did you guys get Chipotle? I think that is now the bar for a successful road trip in a Rivian!

Advice noted. However, hard not to assume that you "would [not] sit your ass at a charging port regardless of other folks needs" when you actually wrote in your original post that you would charge to 100% every time you stopped to charge while on a road trip. Which is it? Do you mean what...

That is a very nice EV set up you have there. Congrats. You have received some excellent advice from people on this forum, I hope you employ it when on the road in either of your nice vehicles.

The funny thing is that we are page 10 of a thread that could have started with a complete BS story. I need to get life!!!

I get it, man, but the person shared that they have a Kia and Rivian EV. If true, who buys two electric cars and does not spend a ton of time in advance figuring out the ins and outs of operating the vehicles? They claim they waited for a Rivian, and are on this forum, so this means that they...

OK, that's it!!! A successful trip to Chipotle??!!!!! I have had enough of all this positivity! The good Rivian vibes end now!!!!! I thought I could count on the all the "CCS charging sucks" crowd to get me 6 months closer to an R1T delivery by getting some people to postpone their...

In all seriousness, why would you charge your vehicle to 100% at each charging stop? Please do a little homework on charging curves - there is a ton of information available on the web. You will save yourself a lot of time and money. Also, not fair to others to needlessly hog a charger if...

Please tell me you are just trolling the site with this post. I don't know whether to laugh at the comedic value, or cry if you are being serious.

I have some pretty mixed feelings about this thread now. Super glad Rivian owners are out enjoying their trucks, seeing the world, and not having any issues charging. These are experiences I have enjoyed in my Taycan, and can't wait to do that in my Rivian, when it arrives. On the other...

Please make me happy and DO NOT watch the Youtube videos where Kyle was racing his buddies from Fort Collins, CO to Las Vegas. It is the one where he is in a Porsche Taycan and beats two Tesla's, a Mach-E, and some other car in the 800 mile drive to Vegas. DO NOT WATCH THAT VIDEO...

Damnit, Bryce and Drew!!!! Help a brother out here!!!!! You guys gotta stop with the positive Rivian stories and providing details on how you knew to easily check an app to save yourselves a lot of pain. I need all the help I can get to skip forward in the reservation queue!!!!! [not...

Yeah, I am too old, too ugly, and too opinionated for Youtube. Hence the "cancel your Rivian" tactic for the "CCS charging sucks" crowd. Just trying to help them avoid a lot of frustration, misery, and blood pressure issues. Not to mention a potential domestic issue if you have have issues...

Damnit, Steve. Stories like this will keep me in line until Q2, 2023. Stop posting positive experiences with your Rivian, all people want to hear are the charging horror stories!!! So, at least for now, throw a couple of negative things in your post to get a couple people to cancel their...

Frank is totally right. Not sure about the CCS charging infrastructure? Then, cancel your Rivian reservations people!!!!! Let the people who are cool in being pioneers skip to the front of the line. I don't have the luxury of a "friends and family" option at Rivian, so I am playing the...

Absolutely agree with your comments. Competition is crucial in creating an expanded, and more reliable CCS charging network. I do have a different opinion on the how government should be involved - I think they should be allocating money for expanding the network, compensating for higher up...

Tesla hater? No. Owned four - two Model S' and two Model X's. Covered them for work for years. Just not a fan of their management, so done with the company, for now. Is CCS perfect? Certainly not, but it is no where near as bad as the "Tesla propaganda bullshit" crowd says it is on this...
