These are very good numbers but, for clarity they are consistent with EPA numbers not better I believe. EPA of 315 with the 21" wheels using a combo of drive modes over the 5 cycle test... did we ever confirm that was the case?
Bonus points for showing math... ha. In my mind Rivian seems like a real problem for Land Rover. Where Rivian might take a few 2% of sales from Ford/ GM I could see them taking a huge chunk, 50%?, from Land Rover.
So as not to derail the tire discussion... I am currently 15500 miles and doing 5...
I have and it's absurd... clearly his name is Gary. Why Rivian do you mock us by creating a loveable anthropomorphic critter who shops at the same outdoor retailer we do and leave him nameless? How are we to bond on our adventures with a nameless pal. Speaking of his outfit for $40 bucks Gary's...
these are Pack size, we all currently have the 135 (large) battery packs. Don't be nervous it's really not difficult. The fact that you are taking a few minutes to plan ahead will ensure you don't get stranded. You got this.
$90K seems fair to me If it was an R1S I'd buy it. Surprised people aren't jumping at this. Have you tried selling to a dealer? seems like they would pay $88K list for $98K and sell for $96-98K. Good luck and personally I think $84 is to low.
@Dbilawey I think you have a very low probability of having this happen but if you are concerned you can check the 12V batteries with a voltmeter by opening the hood and removing the cowling near the wipers which pops off easily without tools. This is where the two seprate 12V batteries reside...
Kinda agreeing with both you and @Franksmartin here. The premise of your point is that R1's are probably not the best economical choice, and I agree however, I could compare my R1T at 270 mile range and $.085 KW to charge (at home) to equal $8,469 in "fuel" to travel 200,000 miles, with a F-150...
Agreed this feature adds some functionality to a standard crew cab truck and bed but like every other decision automakers make it has consequences. For the R1T this particular feature would eliminate the gear tunnel, powered tonneau (for better or worse) and have huge impacts on cabin climate...
Driving with gear tunnel doors open sounds like a horrible idea.
I agree the bluetooth speaker should pair to the truck and "extend" the music outside.
I can barely get mine to pair with my phone it's basically useless.
So does this mean that the Silverado, Sierra Denali, Cyber truck and Hummer all have powered tonneau covers? ... asking for a friend.
If you want to experience diminishing hopes then I recommend placing 100% of your hopes into the Cybertruck. If you think you will have a better ownership...
@Antonio I noticed efficency of 1.53Mi/KWH over the last 53.8 miles and a time of 3h21m with an average speed of 16MPH. That is a long time to travel ~54 miles. My guess is a lot of energy has been used on cabin heating during the almost 3 and a half hours it took to drive 53.8 miles.
If this is...
Your story gave ME anxiety. For my own sanity promise us all you will begin doing the following immediately:
1. Make sure you are plugged in at all times when home and set to at least 85% and to 100% if you think there is a possibility you will need to.
2. Download plugshare app and use it even...
I try to mention my single data point of a really good experience when I can. I'm sure the likelihood of having significant problems with an R1 is way higher than if you buy a Camry but the plus side is also way higher.
It's been warmer than usual so far this fall here in upstate NY and no snow...
Late May Delivery with about 12,500 miles on currently. I have the 20" AT wheel/ tires and done 5 wheel rotation every 5K miles (so twice). My very unscientific estimate is I will get 30K miles out of a set of 5 tires then buy 5 new (yes I know the "spare" would have 20K and the other 4 would...
Rivian gave me near the high end of KBB trade in for my 2019 Subaru Ascent so I didn't even bother with other offers, that was last May. Used car market is cooling off pretty quickly, probably thanks to rate hikes.
