Thanks RJ!

Looks like GM'S NACS stuff is probably going live tomorrow. GM expects me to pay $225 for the adapter for my Sierra EV. Have no immediate plans besides testing it, but will be happy to have the option.

Could be another year before you receive it. Ford/Rivian still have many tens of thousands to deliver and I'd guess it's from the same source as GMC.

Oof. Considering A2Z Typhoon Pro is a better product… that is steep.

Thanks for sharing the cost for GMC.

I believe Ford plans to charge $230.

How are you liking the Sierra? It's a sharp looking vehicle for sure.

Doesn’t matter without [insert pet complaint here]

I like it. Much roomier than the Rivian. Much quieter cabin. Suspension is tuned pretty well for driving on our roads.

But, it's not as fun to drive. Torque steer in max power mode is miserable, and it's much slower than the Rivian. I would have felt like buying the Sierra was a mistake, if it wasn't a decision driven by needing the extra range for towing. If you're not an aggressive driver at all, you probably wouldn't feel the same way I do though.

We have yet to need to stop for a charge on a towing trip with it, so can't really comment on how the port placement is likely to suck, but the 800V charging was definitely a benefit on the Hummer. It made the chargepoint 125/62.5 shared stations somewhat viable, basically maxing them out for nearly the entire charge.


The nice part is that I still have a truck while my R1T is having some downtime for some product development. ?

Rivian to me is an amazing company. I think the hiccups of a start up are becoming a distant memory.

We got an email on September 10th to verify out address for the NACS adapter. I opened my email today and it says it will be delivered tomorrow the 19th.

I had a Silverado EV while my truck was getting service. Overall, the package was very good, and the range was fantastic - total game changer if you're towing or simply never want range anxiety again. Drove like a normal vehicle, and I was particularly impressed how they mimicked ICE-like creeping behavior off-accel for maneuvering tight spots at slow speeds. My personal preference in general is 1-pedal, and they offer that as an option as well via the interface.

My only issue was ergonomics, as the seating position is a no-go for me, but that's a pretty personal take.

Working on a winch mount?

Brush/bull bar firstly. I'd really like to see if we can come up with enough room for a hidden winch like what Rivian had a prototype for. I would not want to give up the front camera for a winch, personally. May consider leaving accommodations for it somehow though.
