My power company is now offering time of use billing with the following super sweet plan. But because I have solar and net-metering I have to get this plan. My solar panels are rated for 5kW and they manage to send from 150kWh in winter to 250kWh in summer back to the grid each month. They...

I caught this easily by hitting the drive cam button many seconds after it happened. I wonder what a self driving car would do here. I was well over in the lane as soon as I saw the tractor and congestion. Clear over to the line and ready to go further.

Is the R1T the fastest production pickup truck? I think so, but I am looking for that definitive badge from some official source. Or I just missed that there is some other faster truck.

My number has come up for an F150 lightning. But I prefer my Rivian. So I checked about flipping it and it looks like I could only net $3000 and they have you sign an agreement not to do that. Really does not seem worthwhile. Figured I would ask what people thought here before I let my...

This is a really long rant so please just let me get it off my chest. It's my fault that I forgot to charge Thursday night so I would be ready for working in St. Joseph and then taking the wife to a show in Lawerence where she was planning on showing the R1T to her friend's husband. Both of...

I lined up the rear bumpers and took a couple of photos. 2018 f-150 Lariat Oxford white. I like both trucks looks. The F-150 is just too big and styled a bit too much like a semi truck for my tastes. It also has too much chrome. But that metallic white paint of the F-150 is much better looking...

I got the wall charger. Will be selling my R1T but getting a Lightning. Should I try and sell the wall charger with the truck or keep it to use with the F150? Looks like the price has jumped from $500 to $700 Can't see any reason why it would not work but the wifi stuff seems useless.

Sold PM me. I have put a bit over 2000 miles on it so I know it will go for less. I also have to payoff the loan and Rivian/Missouri has not even got it registered into my name in the past month. I will be going out to Denver in 2 weeks so I can drop it off there. I would even sell it for less...

I am not liking OPD in my new Rivian. I wish I could turn it off. I know that it saves energy but for me it is dangerous and annoying. I have about 1200 miles and 2 weeks in my Rivian. The OPD will really throw you forward in your seat if you let all the way up while doing 25 mph or so. I breaks...

I am heading out to visit my daughter in Denver Colorado June 10th. I want to go 4 wheeling with her in the mountains. Perhaps stay at a cabin in a state park close to some trails with good views and some off roading challenge. Looks like I will be looking for 5 out of 10 or a 2.5 out of 5 kind...

I just had my electrician install a plug for my soon to be delivered Rivian. He recommended a 30 amp plug rather than the 50 amp one because my house only has 100 amp service. I think the gist is that if I run the oven, dryer and charge the R1T at the same time as other regular stuff I could...

I'm new at this but I see some hotels with chargers and most without. Of course I will want to charge every night when on the road but unless there is some app that lists hotels with chargers and maybe even a reservation system for those chargers this seems difficult to do. I do the Kansas City...

As a launch edition preorder I get the free upgrade to 20” AT wheels. But I need the 21” Road tires to get the range needed to pull my trailers to the lake. I also seldom go off road. But I would dearly love to try out my new Rivian’s off-road prowess. I want to go climb a mountain in it. So my...

I can image sleeping in the front seat while charging or camping. I also like to sleep while the wife drives. But some front seats just don't recline far enough for this to work well. Anyone got any pictures of it all the way back?

One of the things I hate about my 2018 F150 is that it is hell to get into a parking space. I am super happy that the Rivian will be smaller. But the real culprit here is the turning radius. My F150 has a turning radius of 26.9 ft. Do we know what the Rivian is rated for? Tank turn would be...
