    My R1T has the best towing range of any EV on the planet!

    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...

    Effects of cold weather and wind on range - R1T owner's observation

    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...

    Another electric truck spotted

    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...

    Highway Assist tested - my review / feedback

    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...

    EA DC charge session data points

    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...

    Initial range and charging real world observations by R1T owner

    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...

    Finally saw an R1T - first impressions

    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...

    Take delivery before a test drive?

    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...

    Anyone else thinking of the R1T as a street Sport Truck?

    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...

    Is this LE Green?

    Looks different from any I have seen so far...

    Finalizing Orders When?

    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...
