  1. How does Rivian calculate the mileage range when EPA numbers say it is much less

    Hi, I'm new to Rivian (had my car for 2 weeks now) and I'm very surprised with the mileage average I'm getting which is after 500 miles something below 2miles/kWh. Mostly driving 50/50 freeway and city. Rivian posted their usable battery size and I calculated that I'm only getting 75% of what...

    Efficiency and Range Numbers Don't Add Up

    Not sure if this is really an "issue" but the efficiency numbers for my R1T seem off. I'm in California, driving on 21" AS wheels/tires. Usually a pretty normal, slightly conservative driving style. I drive mostly rural roads and freeway (not a lot of stop lights or stop n go block by block...

  5. 6X12 U-Haul Trailer Towing - Anyone do this yet?

    I’ve seen some favorable range hits posted for the 5x8 trailer with little weight added, but was wondering if anyone has had the chance to tow the larger U-Haul trailer yet with it loaded with some stuff. I have a cross country move coming up and I may be faced with the decision to delay...

    Am I crazy?

    Am I crazy in either of these 2 ways... I placed my order last month and I'm in no hurry...planning to drive my 2010 4runner until I get a pickup, whether that's a Rivian or whether I bail and get something else. But I'd like to have it by the end of 2022. Am I crazy to think that's plausible? I...

    Gas-in Electric (as opposed to Plug-in Hybrid)

    I was looking around for ideas on adding a generator to the car, and came across this https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/generator-to-charge-r1t-when-extra-range-needed.2057/ but nothing about incorporating a generator to the actual car so I figured I'd start a new thread (where I'm sure...

    Reviews coming in for Lucid

    It seems the reviews are coming out for the upcoming Lucid Dream EV. https://electrek.co/2021/08/25/lucid-air-dream-edition-buyers-choice-over-1000-hp-500-miles-range/ Lucid has also set the benchmark for EV range (500Miles/charge) and this review backs that up... I am somewhat disappointed...

    $7,500 to spend on R1S: upgrade to Adventure trim, or 75mi of range?

    With Rivian having announced a long-range (max(ish?) pack) version of the R1S, and it likely being under 400 miles, there's a good chance that the cost to upgrade might fall within $5k - $7.5k depending on how many more miles above 300 they can manage (given that they're charging $10k for 100...
  10. Poll on additional cost for 400 mile version

    How much are people willing to shell out for the additional range? You can also take into account the longer wait time - likely 6 months on the R1T and a year(?) on the R1S
  11. In need of more competitive range and motor efficiency compared to newly updated Tesla Model S & X ?

    I just saw the news on the updates Tesla made today to Model S and X. The electric drive units seem far more advanced with higher efficiency despite still using same battery pack size (100 KwH) and much more range than before (325 miles in the Model X using 100 KwH battery pack). Is it possible...
