  1. Rivian R1T charging curve test 20-80% [by TFL]

    Part of the requirement to get money from the Feds from the infrastructure package (and yes, Tesla is applying for that money), is that your charging network is not a "walled garden". They'll be opened soon. There may be time limits, definitely a different pricing scale, and maybe only certain...
  2. Rivian R1T charging curve test 20-80% [by TFL]

    The interior of the R1S will be bigger than any Outback. As someone who has done VA to MA, or VA to ME round-trip, for over 25 years now....from the days when it was me, alone in a Neon, till now, when it's me, the wife, the toddler, and 2 dogs.........space is king.
  3. Rivian R1T charging curve test 20-80% [by TFL]

    We do know they're sitting on at least some overhead, as the fastest we've seen is ~180kW from other sources. Whether it's 20kW+ or 50kW+, they can unleash more.
  4. Rivian R1T charging curve test 20-80% [by TFL]

    Yes, but a 400V system can charge at over 200kW. The last 25% that Rivian is currently sitting on is significant. Of the new EV trucks coming to the market, only the Lightning is capped at a slower speed (150kW). The Silverado, CT, and the Hummer are all faster.
  5. Rivian R1T MAX PACK delivery update from customer service -- Q1 2023 Possible

    At this rate, gonna be a photo finish with other EVs.
  6. Videos: Rivian Driving in Snow - Night & Daytime

    Ah... <Insert minimal snow type and location>, but let's see if it can handle <author's personal definition of "real snow" that they never go out in anyway>
  7. ? Update from RJ on production & deliveries -- via email letter 12/28/21

    I'm hesitant about the CoPilot 360 or whatever Ford/Lincoln calls it. I'm spoiled. I need smart cruise and steering assist now. Maybe I'll test drive one. We're all done adding tax deductions, but the one we've got is only going to get bigger.
  8. ? Update from RJ on production & deliveries -- via email letter 12/28/21

    Lol. Wife, two dogs, toddler, myself, and all of our crap.
  9. ? Update from RJ on production & deliveries -- via email letter 12/28/21

    *sigh* we took the Volvo on its maiden voyage to VA over Christmas, and while the car performed just fine (29.8mpg), it's not big enough. I was really hoping to not be in the Volvo NEXT Christmas too. Might have to get a placeholder to replace the placeholder. And all that's left that checks...
  10. My First Mile Experience w/ Launch Green R1T

    The problem with this line of thinking, as I'm sure you know, is if Rivian follows the Tesla model and makes iterations mid-year. They've only "refreshed" the S fully once (the newest version), but they did the front end a few years ago, and tons of tiny changes in the middle of model years. So...
  11. 2021 Q3 Rivian Shareholder Letter – December 16, 2021. 71K Preorders Received

    so my horribly inefficient napkin math has me guesstimating my delivery for around this time next year....unless I hold out for the Max Pack
  12. R1T is Edmunds Top Rated Editors' Choice

    I've been explaining it like this: Physics is physics. It's still a big, boxy truck(SUV-as I'm getting the R1S and explaining it to people)....and in the ICE world, they give you a bigger gas tank to compensate. That's why you need 135 or 180kWh. Most people I talk to seem to get it after that.
  13. Rivian R1T is Motortrend Truck of the Year!

    When it broke down and left me stranded, they treated me like crap, as if I did something out of the ordinary to break it.
  14. Rivian R1T is Motortrend Truck of the Year!

    That's okay, my Tesla holdings paid for my Rivian IPO holdings, and might even pay for a chunk of my r1s.
  15. Rivian R1T is Motortrend Truck of the Year!

    the amount of salt on the MT FB post is palpable.
  16. Rivian R1T is Motortrend Truck of the Year!

    For a point of reference, the Rivian 0-60 times and 1/4 mile times almost exactly mirror the 2018 Model 3 Performance I had. Considering the hefty difference between the 2, that's pretty damn impressive.
