I built a simple calculator to show how much you can save by driving an EV compared to a gas car over a month, a year, and even five years. I kept it intentionally straightforward, using just five inputs: gas price, electricity cost, miles per gallon, and the cost of both home and public...
I have 2 stock 20 inch AT Scorpion that have about 4/32 to 5/32 tread left and even wear. Want to find a new home. Great for spares. Local pick up in the San Fernando Valley area SoCal.
I have a Launch Edition 2022 R1S Quad. Last year, it would not charge at either Rivian or Electrify America Level 3 chargers along Hwy 395 between Los Angeles and Mammoth Lakes. This was in August 2024, and I didn’t have the adapter yet. Since it’s about 300 miles to my house, I needed at least...
OK, so here is my back of the napkin or should say paper of my 17 day test between my 2022 Rivian R1S with the old large battery rated 131 kWh, my 2018 Tesla model 3 with a 75 kWh battery and my 2022 Ford lightning Pro with standard 98 kWh battery. So while I was working on my house, I didn’t...

I thought I would start a thread with owner’s photographs of Rivians doing what Rivians were made for. Taking the long way through the dirt, mud, water, and other elements that are thrown at it while keeping a smile on your face quietly.
I figured I would start a new thread about how dogs and Rivians work together. I would guess that at least 75% Rivian owners have at least one dog they take with them on trips. Many have 2 or more and that means on average there is at least one dog per Rivian family on a per capita basis. Here...
