I think you'll be fine. Idaho and Northern Utah will likely be the roughest part but you might even get to use the RAN in Twin Falls!!! Depending on your route parts of eastern Washington and eastern Oregon might be tough. As long as you have a Tesla adapter I think you'll be fine. There's a...
I agree re: the charging. Unfortunately it's nowhere near as easy to find charging stations in the intermountain west as it is California. Between Idaho, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming there is one RAN and we're even severely lacking Tesla Supercharging stations. Heading south on the I-15 corridor...
Hahaha this made me crack up. My brother gave me so much crap about buying Alfas (he's a life long Bavarian-ite) but they've been so solid. I knew not to do any mods at all. The Quad versions of those cars are already pushed for performance from the factory.
It's loud. Like 'double take' loud. I don't notice it as much inside the truck, more so when I am getting in and out. I haven't noticed any vibrations at all.
About 39K. Bought it with 18K. Haven't had a single issue. I also had a 2020 Giulia Quadrifoglio that I sold in conjunction with the Raptor. It too was bulletproof but I only put about 12K miles on it. They guy who I sold it to said the serpentine belt failed after he had put about 1000 miles on...
The heat pump is LOUD though, LOL.
It's a 30% drop in Range. Meaning if I charge to a full 420 (rarely do), I can maybe get 300 miles. But for half of December and a good chunk of January it never got above 25*. It's also very windy where I live which reduces the Feels Like temp even further...
Took delivery 11/4/2024 from the Salt Lake City Rivian Center and not surprisingly it's been a mixed bag with my overall sentiment being positive. I came from a 2019 Ford F150 Raptor that I put nearly 100,000 miles on and an Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio (still have) so I do appreciate...
Yep. Except mine defaults to 15 sometimes but other times it just goes about 8 steps higher than where I left it. Happened right after the latest update a few days ago. Highly annoying, and sometimes deafening.
No. I didn't think about that. But this morning as I saw a car stuck at the front of a very busy intersection and their hazards flashing I did think to myself "not sure what I would do there".
I will call and see if they will escalate due to safety. Thanks for the tip.
Most people tend to panic in emergency situations turning what would seem to be simple tasks into very difficult tasks. With Rivian now making it even more difficult for rear passengers to get out (Gen 2), I think it's a big mistake. I'm going to try and make some sense of this diagram to see...
I'm 3 hours from the nearest service center. When I tried to schedule a mobile service appointment they told me they didn't have anything. At all. But they'd call me when something becomes available. Luckily they fit me in at the Salt Lake service center and I made the drive.
Waiting months...
When I picked up my Gen2 R1T the guy said 'I have 45 minutes to spend with you. How would you like to spend that time?'
Having never owned an EV, we did a quick exterior inspection and then spent the bulk of the time inside. I remember him showing me the mechanical release for the front seats...
