  1. R2 Colors Preview Images 🎨

    No. Not completely. We know that that the color options will be somewhat different than the R1. Rivian people have said that at the couple show events. But it's not finalized yet. As of now, they have teased Evergreen and Slate for the R2 and the reveal prototype of the R3 is a new color...

  2. NACS subscription vs Plug & Charge

    Tesla subscription works the same way. You sign up and it's good for 30 days. It will bill you again at the 30 day mark, or not bill you if you cancel. Just like EA. I don't road trip that often, 3 times year and they're not huge trips. So I only subscribe if needed. With EA, the Pass+...

  3. Video: How-to charge Rivian at Tesla Supercharger (by Out of Spec Kyle)

    Heh... Leave it to Kyle, to take what should have been a 5 minute video and stretch it to almost 22 minutes. But he covered it all I think. Have to appreciate how well his gray pants and greenish hoodie coordinate with the exterior/interior of the truck.

  4. My First Time Seeing The Rivian R2 @ Electrify Expo Orlando! Including Pictures!!

    Yeah, but that would make a girthy flashlight. Some people might like that though...

  5. 3 Phase 240V Charging

    You should still have a transformer in there somewhere as I'm assuming you have standard 120V wall outlets and such. So as long as it's appropriately sized, you shouldn't have any issues using a normal EVSE on 240V. That's what most everyone does... We have 3-phase power in all our commercial...

  6. Tesla continues to lead in innovation - the Cybertruck tent.

    Well, it at least seems to be a bit more roomy than the concept. But that thing looks like an initial prototype, not a final product.

  7. Over 68,000 R2 reservations in less than 24 hours so far

    Heh. I edited my post but not quick enough. I had forgotten that. Yea I remember now that Elon decided on $1K because he was trying to keep reservations serious because there was so much buzz around the Model 3. Not so sure it really made a difference amidst all the excitement.

  8. Over 68,000 R2 reservations in less than 24 hours so far

    I made a 2nd R2 reservation just in the hope it can be transferred to an R3X. I'm guessing it won't work that way, but just maybe. I'm not even sure what I would do with an R3X... I just kinda want it.

  9. Over 68,000 R2 reservations in less than 24 hours so far

    There were so many people excited over it that they camped out to reserve at showrooms/ service centers. Only to later realize that their camping efforts were only symbolic... While they stood in line all of us who jumped online got the first reservations, many people who stood in line had to...

  10. Cybertruck doesn't charge any faster than a Rivian?

    And it's a smaller battery with shorter overall charge time, thus different curve and management. We own an Ioniq 5. It isn't that special, but definitely has certain advantages gained through compromise. Actually there is, at a couple select locations. But I'm not going to continue down...

  11. Cybertruck doesn't charge any faster than a Rivian?

    Why is what? Why did they not test at 800V+? - I don't know, because they're stupid. Why is it "well, duh!"? - At 400V, there is much higher resistance per watt and greater thermal build-up. You're not only dealing with thermal management of the truck's charging components, but the...

  12. Cybertruck doesn't charge any faster than a Rivian?

    Um... They didn't actually test the Cybertruck charging at 800V+ so this kinda is like, "well, duh!"... Stupid clickbait trash.

  13. NACS still a BIG differentiator for Tesla - not what I hoped for

    All V4 chargers are open except those in locations where Tesla does not want other brands clogging already over-busy chargers. V3 chargers are a phased roll-out. More will continue to open throughout the year, many still need upgrades to make this work. V2 chargers are not compatible with...

  14. Tirerack.com rolling out Rivian Vans for mobile tire installation

    Circling back on this. With the confirmed right-hand drive option for the R2 and smaller form factor, it almost seems like a no-brainer to make a postal service/ mail carrier based on the platform.

  15. Recent 22 R1S Sale $66,000 on C&B

    Not a s Not a surprise when the S is available to order in most any config and get in a few weeks. Combined that with the continuously slowing auto market and higher interest rates. And C&B auction prices are a weird metric. When demand is up, they trend higher than average used sales price...

  16. Fisker Ocean review: ouch

    It's well known he's not a "car guy". His initial reviews of both the Lightning and R1T showed pretty clearly that he had no prior knowledge of pickup trucks before those reviews. That said, I like the MKBHD reviews. Even the car ones as he approaches it from the perspective of a layperson...

  17. Leasing R1S based off of the pre-March pricing

    Yeah, leasing is its own thing and Rivian's terms are pretty favorable. Pre-March '22 pricing is an incentive of its own, so you'll have to run the numbers and see what is better for you. We also know that the pre-March pricing won't last forever, we just have not been given a final date...

  18. Standard and Standard+ battery packs introduced; R1T and R1S base prices dropped (2/8/24)

    With production pretty well caught up to initial demand/ reservations, Rivian now has to find a way to adjust and maintain pricing. This is might attract a few of the fence-sitters who are willing to take a bit less range for some savings. It’s not a price reduction for the Large and Max pack...

  19. Ford shares B-roll video of using their NACS adapter

    This and Tesla has confirmed they have no plans to upgrade/retrofit V2 hardware to be compatible with non-Tesla vehicles. The reasoning behind that is they will eventually all be upgraded to V4 or newer subsequent charger hardware. When Ford, Rivian and others begin shipping vehicles with NACS...
