Slow Rivian news day today so I thought I might post this...
I was just learning about the "MPG illusion". Many of y'all may already know this but I think it would be good thing to advocate for as we adopt EVs, there is a chance to make this right.
The TLDR is that our brains have trouble...
Thought I would start a thread for some of us Green Mountain folks to say hello. It would be fun if we had a chance to meetup some day and checkout the trucks of the lucky few.
Anyone had a test drive?
What are y'all's config and preorder dates?
Posting just for the $RIVN angle, there are a bunch of these stories. Although RIVN is up today so that's nice.

Hey folks, I know I post a bunch of jokes on here but this one is unfortunately going to be far more serious.
I managed to obtain a photo of the employee who leaked information about this update. He is currently being detained at the Irvine CA police department for crimes against Adventure...
Wondering if some of you distinguished, honored, tenured,.... old farts.... remember roughly when the last LE was reserved?
I am wondering if they are nearing the end of LE+BM. Saw October 2020 got delivered just now on reddit.
This year has been a particularly bad mud season and I was thinking it's past due I grabbed a recovery/tow strap to keep with me just in case. Ideally I would like to get one strong enough for the R1T so I could keep it when I swap my subaru for an R1T.
Anyone got any advice on what to get...

This is the kind of characteristic that will make people even more inclined to follow him, work for him, and do their best work for the company.
Folks will be discussing how it could have been done better and...

Maybe not the prettiest UI ever, but Ford seems to be doing a decent job with software. Looks responsive and very functional. Plus it even has support for....never mind I wont say it lol
Interesting article from Wired/Ars:

What do you think?
Personally I want to figure out if Android Debug Bridge (ADB) can be enabled on the infotainment system. Then we could potentially install 3rd party...
So it looks like the 320A service requirement was a mistake and Tom Moloughney contacted Ford about it and they have updated their website. Now it mentions 100A dedicated circuit but that is only if you want to deliver the max 80A to the truck (and back to the house as well).
