I will be towing a car trailer from Michigan to Millville, NJ in 2 weeks and am hoping I can get some suggestions from members that are familiar with eastern PA. I'll be coming in on I80, and after a lot of ABRP/Plugshare DCFC searching/Google maps & Streetview planning, I am tentatively...
Had to do a 300+ mile round trip run a few days ago to Grand Rapids, MI. Left home at 98% SOC, got to GR about 45 minutes before my appointment, and since I was only a mile away from a ChargePoint 62kw site I'd used several times in the past (Meijer 28th St) I figured I would plug in for 15...
yeah, yeah - I know. Shameless YouTuber click bait type title - but I have pictures to prove it!
If only it were true...
So here is the whole story: I got the 2022.15 software update Tuesday evening. The truck sat on the charger overnight because I was going to be trailering my motorcycle...
On Monday I made a 250 mile trip for the first time in relatively cold weather. I charged to 100% on my son's level 2 charger, then parked the R1T in his driveway for the night - 16 degrees. After charging the truck was predicting 310 miles of range in Conserve. By morning the range had...
I pulled up to an EA station in Novi, MI Friday and had to wait to get a spot and had the opportunity to chat with a couple of Lordstown folks as they charged up two of their trucks. One pulled out before I took the pictures. Both the Endurance trucks were white. They were as interested in my...
I tested Highway Assist this morning on a stretch of US 131 that was rolling hills and long curves. About 30% of that area was flat and straight. The road surface condition was certainly not optimum since it is early spring in Michigan and the road lines have taken a lot of abuse over the...
This morning I did a second DC charge at the EA station (8 plugs 350 KWh) in Cadillac MI. I drove 50 miles to get there so the truck was warm. Air temp was 34 degrees. No other vehicles were at the station while I was charging.
Starting SOC: 15% - 44 miles of range predicted in All Purpose...
I do not have a lot of miles on yet after 2 days of ownership, but I did my first DC charge this afternoon (Electrify America) on one of 6 350 kWh chargers at their Cadillac, MI location. I was the only vehicle charging. I drove about 60 miles to get there at highway speeds (60-80 mph) in...
I had to drive down to Metro Detroit Sunday so decided to drive by the Plymouth facility (only a few miles out of my way) to see if there were any R1Ts around. As I pulled into the parking lot I saw several R1Ts up near the front of the building. Parked next to a LG R1T (charging) and got out...
While I was watching the Out Of Spec walk around of the R1T today I realized that I have now seen/read enough about the R1T that I can comfortably take delivery without ever seeing/driving the truck, or even seeing the colors in person. Dozens of comments and several hours of video has largely...
After well over 2 years of reading forum posts it seems the majority of us are buying the R1s as Adventure vehicles. Perhaps I'm an anomaly, but I see the R1T as the ultimate (for now) street performance truck. I will rarely, if ever, take it off-road. I'll only be on dirt roads to transport...
Now that we are about 4 months from start of delivery (if Rivian sticks to its June target) I think we should soon be seeing Rivian asking us to finalize our orders. Mine (6612) is probably a couple of months off, but those of you with low order numbers must be getting close. Anyone hearing...
