Rivian's tonneau is also rather thick though, if you are willing to give up some load support I feel like a rolling cover could be a lot thinner even though it's less space efficient you could still make it fit.

Our weight does not cause additional damage. If the roads can support 80,000lbs trucking then a 7500lbs EV isn't going to cause measurable damage over a 6,000lbs pickup. almost all road damage is done by semi trucks and construction equipment, very very very little is done by consumer vehicles.

Hit 19 rans so far on the west coast, basically everything in northern/central California, including up and down 395 and hwy 1/101, as well as most of the eastern Oregon stations. Loved every experience. Groveland is my favorite station (I also grew up there and trick or treated at what used to...

I'm fairly sure your Nav has been routing you over 88 because 120 just opened last week. Tioga pass closes for the winter every year, typically october/nov-ish to april-july-ish.

I mean, Bridgeport EA has been a thing for a while and is only a few miles short of Lee Vining. Happy to see more RAN chargers, but this doesn't really open up anything new to us. That Bridgeport EA has been pretty damned solid as well (we go down to that area a LOT).

Not that I have, I'll see if my father can grab some, Last I talked to him transformers were in and he heard them whirring, and I just found out a buddy I grew up with's partner was hired as the manager for the station and spent the last 3 weeks in onboarding and training, so it's got to be...

It's almost done, Grew up there and my dad still lives up there, he goes and talks to the crews there fairly regularly just to BS and get me updates lol. Stations are in and done, building is done, they have some pavement to do, and it sounds like the utility connection is currently being built.

Eh I can get it to an extent, there are large parts of my state (California) that I simply can't explore without a tesla adapter because there is no CCS infrastructure. I love to go camping in these areas, and can understand that there's probably a lot of this throughout the country, $600 to...

My wife's Mach-e was $1700, my work model 3 was $1200, my brothers Raptor was $1800, my parents Outback was $1800. Rivian seems high with your quote, but not obscenely.

I dont think this is a glass quality issue, but rather an EV /airflow issue. The R1 is a slippery (aerodynamically speaking) vehicle for what it is, and EV's in general focus on Aero to increase range/decrease energy consumption. My belief is that in focusing on this, the vehicle has a more...

Has rivian provided any updates on adapters? As far as I can tell exactly 0 customers have gotten an adapter or had Rivian reach out to confirm address yet, I was under the impression shipping would start in April but seems that may not be the case?

sorry what? this is going down 395 in California. there is no traffic on 395 ever.... also you are telling me you would rather make the drive take an extra 5 hours instead of driving in California for 3ish hours? I think you may be your own problem here.

Ya, this is a very normal price for a vehicle with camera/radar under the windshield. My wife's mach-e was $1600 both times we had to replace it, my prior company vehicle was a Subaru outback and it was $1500, These are unfortunately normal prices for OEM windshields with safety tech underneath...

I run falken At3W's on some aftermarket 20's. Its a big range hit from my 21's, and they are louder for sure, but they are excellent tires paired with this truck. Your mileage will drop to about 2.0-2.1 in perfect weather @70ish mph, and 1.8ish around town. But if the range his isn't a huge deal...

I feel like if they have that many orders they should be discussing with UPS for a large volume pickup, or organize drop-off at a UPS facility themselves. Maybe that is logistically impractical, but to me it makes sense if you are trying to ship out 1K + orders (no idea on actual numbers)

Eh, being close to the industry I think it's looking better then you, But I also get to see the large backlog of chargers in design and permitting in my areas. Companies are moving forward, just takes time to spin this stuff up.

Tesla built out 6,000 stations in a decade, they didn't start at 1.6 a day either, but ramped up to probably 3 a day. Expecting this group to start at 1.5 a day would be silly to, but ramping up over time to a similar rate to tesla isn't ridiculous. I work directly in electric distribution...

Why is this unlikely? Tesla Alone has 6,000 sites they have been building for about a decade, that means 1 company by themselves has on average built 1.6 new locations a day for a decade. I think 1.5/day for this conglomerate is doable. You don't have 1 team working on all of these, you have 1...

This is such a minor issue, can't believe the rage.... it's a 3% difference in wheel sizes and truthfully when I dropped from 21" to 20" with the larger (oem spec) tires, my speedo accuracy improved (it was about 4% over reporting, now its 1%). Such a nothing burger to complain about.

My favorite feature of my Rivian is the ability to change opinions of my coworkers (I work in construction) about EV's. If I let them ride in it, it almost always changes their tune at least a bit, and every little chip at that wall gets closer to it cracking and falling down.
