As you say, RJ certainly seems to indicate that ”10 or 11” kW AC can be provided by the R2. What mechanical/electrical form that will take remains to be seen. A new bidirectional Level 2 charger? A higher capacity Field Outlet? He also said they’re working on a DC bidirectional charger. I’m...
Does it? When I tried to confirm that a while back, I couldn’t find any official evidence, so I concluded that people might be mistaking an unclear statement about the level 2 ac->dc charging inverter (which, of course, all EVs have). That said, it might be that the charging inverter was...

I've also learned that Rivian has indicated they might very well support vehicle-to-house backup power at a later date, and I see that some charger companies are...
That's probably the case, though there's a little uncertainty on that. My backup backup plan (ha ha) would be to just use the 7.2Kw outlet and manually switch a few circuits to be powered from that.
The things that push me toward Lightning are: (much) more power out, more convenient frunk, and...
I'm in this delivery group, with an LE R1T, in Colorado. I believe they're outfitting a service center in Denver, maybe a 45 minute drive away.
I'm juggling an F150 Lightning reservation with the R1T - I need a farm truck for our evolving goat farm. I'm not so convinced the R1T is an appropriate...
