Carvana is the way to go. I’ve sold several vehicles to them all for a fair price with ZERO hassle.

There’’s an 60k normal inspection due anyway. Old dampers have been upgraded and need addressed and upgraded to the new, improved ones. The tip off is a “looseness” in the front end when going over rough pavement. My 59k early T is in line for the replacement.

800v is insignificant if the thermals aren’t managed better. My Gen1 R1T will hit 200+ for only a short time until the battery heats up and throttles the charge curve.

Bingo! Problem is NOT the charge rate … the problem is hoe LONG it can be held before dropping off.

And don’t forget those pesky EV add-on yearly registration and tax fees.

Using the past as a window to the future, the first clue will be an update to the phone app followed by the vehicle update 7-10 days later.

Besides the way he crams 15 minutes of info into 60 minutes?!

That’s weird. I used my local tire shop to align both my R1T and R1S without any issues whatsoever. OEM alignment was terrible. Tires last at least twice as long (or longer) now.

Splendid! We’ll undoubtedly see 800v architecture, superior thermal control, and lucid-fast charging. Or .. not.

I would assume that, all things being equal, Rivian would stick with what they’re familiar with.

I’m sorry. In this day and age and with the current technology, slow charging is just not acceptable. Both my R1T and R1S charge fast enough and hold 205 until the battery heats up and slows the rate. Rivian needs to figure out how to keep 200 far longer.

One note of caution for all the R1T owners, be careful when you clean your rear camera lens because it is easy to scratch the plastic cover if you’re not careful. Don’t ask me how I know that.

Here are my tips as a veteran long cross country Rivian driver: 1) Tesla is the way to go. Numerous locations and they always work and no waiting for a charger to clear - ever. 2) The Tesla app will filter the non-compliant chargers out for you. 3) Combine charging with potty/meal/rest whenever...

Yep. I said the same thing about my Compaq 386.

Vehicle updates usually follow in 7-10 days.

I am still rocking that Compaq 386 bad boy while I wait for yet again one more generation of processor.

Tesla allows you to ”purchase” FSD one month at a time. When I drove my MY, I would “purchase” FSD for the months I knew I would be driving a road trip. I sure hope FSD v14.1.7 is better than when i used FSD. The nag prompt was terribly annoying and defeated the purpose.

I hate the way Pilot/Flying J's chargers grab me by the ankles and shakes all money out of my pockets. Other than the cost, they work well.

Yup! Unlike my Tesla model Y, the arrival percentage tends to go up rather than down precipitously like in the Tesla
