Do you unplug your Rivian when a big thunderstorm is in the forecast/you can see and hear lightning? Have any Rivians or EVs ever gotten fried from a thunderstorm?
I'm in Illinois so I get thunderstorms and lightning here (it's been storming the last day). I use the mobile charger at my house...
I sent the customer service email address a note a week or two ago about this too, since there's a CircleK in my town that has L3 chargers now that is not on the Rivian map while the map shows one at a Casey's nearby which is still under construction and not open yet. Also the Rivian map shows...
I posted in another thread yesterday that on the county property map Rivian is already showing as owing a sizeable amount of land to the west of the existing factory!
I'm about an hour away from the factory so this is great news! The State of Illinois threw tons of money at Sears for way too...
I looked at the county property map at the parcels around the factory and Rivian already owns these fields west of it:
Also they've expanded the factory to the SW quite a bit the last year or two. They've taken up a parking lot and expanded the building toward the road to the W and S. That's...
Last fall I picked mine up from the factory and so got the tour. I asked about how production works. The guy said they run the EDV line as two 10-hour shifts and the R1 line as three 8-hr shifts.
When I hear they're cutting a 3rd shift, it could be the case they're going to 2x10s reducing 24...
I work at a power company (that got some R1Ts to see how they work in a fleet). The industry is working on it. The fleet has two kinds of vehicles--big pickup trucks & vans and the other type is the big DOT trucks. Pickups & vans are easier to switch to EV but also in recent years the industry...
Your post talking about you trying to determine whether you could make it all the way or not without charging reminded me two weeks ago I was driving home from a trip and I was in the situation where the navigation was telling me to stop and fast charge while the energy screen showed I...
I got a quote from AmFam last week and it was ~$1350/6 mo for an R1T and I have a spotless driving record with no accidents. I'm 36M in Illinois, bundle home.
I'm in Champaign! Going to get a R1T in the next few months. I was indifferent to EVs and never ridden in one. A month ago work got an R1T and I've driven it several times and I totally fell in love with EVs and Rivian. EVs are awesome and I am so pumped about Rivian! It's awesome their factory...
