  1. R1S Auction Prices Coming Down

    So, $160,000 for a R1T? Um, I’ll cut a deal and sell mine for $ 150,000
  2. ? 2023 Rivian R1T Named a Car and Driver 10Best Trucks and SUVs

    The S also has very tough competition in the SUV segment compared to the T and other pick-ups
  3. Amazing Range with R1S on 20" A/T and Driver+ Hypermile?

    It’ll be interesting to see the results. The wind wasn’t strong enough to give all of a 30% percent. More than likely it was a combination of Conserve, Driver +, drafting, wind, hull cleaning And new from the gear shop… canvas mainsail (carbon sail coming s00n) Does it have the yellow Rivian...
  4. Amazing Range with R1S on 20" A/T and Driver+ Hypermile?

    had to step away for a bit. I was going down a rabbit hole of links and videos. I’m not mad or anything, but sometimes I’ll get obsessed by a subject. Instead of pasting links, I’ll summarize an hours of internet sleuthing. speed matters most. Double the speed, cube the energy required to over...
  5. Amazing Range with R1S on 20" A/T and Driver+ Hypermile?

    Just because I feel like being argumentative….:angel: wind speed and direction in Philly yesterday was out of the SW at 20. That’s approximately 30% of your speed. Tailwinds and headwinds most certainly affect range. The reduction of drag when encountering a tailwind is significant. As is...
  6. Amazing Range with R1S on 20" A/T and Driver+ Hypermile?

    Watch some video on “drafting” you have to be really close in order to get a real benefit, within a foot or two of the trailer door. Driver+ set to closest proximity isn’t close enough to get effective drafting of a semi In my R1T. I don”t know if the S has a closer setting. I suspect you had...
  7. String in Gear Tunnel?

    Noose for Elf on Shelf? Snare for a pack rat?
  8. Time to jump on board RIVN yet?

    When BP had the Deepwater spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. the stock price tanked to asset value. Made a bunch of money on that. Granted different sectors and different times. I think that Musk shorted RIVN and is using his fame and personal platform to drive RIVN share price down and...
  9. DIY temporary tonneau / bed cover?

    It’s a very heavy price tag, Maverick cover can be sold, marine board can be repurposed, but Seaboard? There not much secondary use. I like Leftride’s plywood and c-channel build
  10. DIY temporary tonneau / bed cover?

    Went to a local plastic distributor today, found out a 54”x 96” piece of 1/2” Seaboard for $400. Trying to decide if I want leave it a single piece or chop it into sections and store it in the gear tunnel. or just use plywood as a temporary solution. The problem with waiting is when will the...
  11. Rivian First Mile event in Minneapolis - fears realized and a happy wife all in one

    The equipment I work with on a daily basis is “electronic intensive” The colder it is the longer it takes for connections to happen, longer for relays to open and close, screens to respond. I wouldn’t worry to much about electrical gremlins if the vehicle was “cold soaked“ If you plan on keeping...
  12. For those who got R1S (or R1T) at original approximately $78k would you buy one for new price of approximately $93k?

    Large jumps in inflation have that affect on people. As a middle aged person, I’m close to maxing out my yearly earning potential. That makes spending 80k a huge amount. But much like your parents or grandparents would never consider spending 10k on a vehicle, your comfort level is 45k, the kids...
  13. Changing configuration will or won't impact delivery date?

    There are thousands of vehicles in the parking lot in Normal waiting to get shipped. Whatever configuration you were in and then swap to, is sitting in the lot. The main snag for deliveries right now is transport for completed vehicles to a SC.
  14. Changing configuration will or won't impact delivery date?

    I was told during the factory proximity to a SC is very important. I.e. if you live in Alaska you’re gonna be waiting a long time. I live 80 miles from a SC and 200 from the factory and it took me 13 months to get mine.
  15. For those who got R1S (or R1T) at original approximately $78k would you buy one for new price of approximately $93k?

    I’ve had mine for two days. Would I pay post March prices? Yes. But I’d be a little disappointed in the Driver Assists’ ability to keep centered when the line goes away due to off ramps and on ramps. For 90k I’d expect the bugs to be worked out. As a pre March price payer, I knew there would be...
  16. Still watching Matt's Off-Road Recovery for first R1T / R1S

    Today on Matt’s ORR they changed a tire on a Hummer used for guided tours. I wonder if a tour company has considered or is using R1T’s for tours.
