Kyle likes the vehicle but calls the drivetrain unreliable and unacceptable.

Just got one for my R1T. R1S also available while supplies last.

I have a 40 amp charger on one 50 amp circuit in my garage. I also have a garage space heater on a different 50 amp circuit breaker. I want to add a 2nd charger to the garage. I was wondering if a toggle switch could be installed on the circuit with the space heater to select between...

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/03/rivian-meets-2024-vehicle-production-target.html Rivian Automotive’s 2024 vehicle production and deliveries were in line with the company’s previously announced expectations. The electric vehicle maker on Friday said it produced 49,476 vehicles last year...

Just came across this video from a link in a InsideEVs.com article. Very informative info on North American electrical service and why switching to NACS is even a bigger deal than I realized. Alex on Autos and sister channel EV Buyers Guide, is my most trusted YouTube source for all things...

I've been a R1T owner for about 2.5 years now. First a Gen 1 Quad Motor Large Battery which I recently traded in for a Gen 2 Dual Motor Max Pack. Combined, I have about 60,000 miles on the two vehicles. I'm a bit of a data geek (35 years experience as a Mechancal Design and Test Engineer)...

After putting 55,000 trouble free and wonderful miles on my R1T Quad Motor I took the recent Rivian trade-in incentive to replace it with a Dual Motor Max Pack R1T. Why, you might ask given the deep discount the early reservation holders got? A few reasons; * I have never wished for more...

This is a follow-up to a post I did in May of 2024 when my R1T had 42,000 miles on it. https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/test-result-battery-degradation-at-42-000-miles-just-3-degradation-2022-r1t-quad-motor.27821/#post-538633 I now have 54,000 miles on the R1T and I repeated the test...

After the dismissal of the entire Tesla Supercharger team this spring, concerns for the continued expansion of the network was on a lot of our minds. Per the website supercharge.info, construction/permitting/planning is continuing at a good pace. Earlier this summer planning and permitting...

This post will be of most interest to EV drivers in the Upper Midwest. ZEF Energy is Minnesota based charging network that has installed DC faster chargers (mostly 50 kW units) in small towns and rural areas of Minnesota, Wisconsin and the Dakotas. While that are to be applauded for this...

Some thoughts on passing this milestone; Acquired Quad motor Adventure with 21” tires in late July 2022. Hit 50k miles on August 1st 2024. Overall it’s been an extremely fun and reliable vehicle. Powered tonneau has always and continues to work fine. Had the early suspension creaking but...

There are numerous threads about what is the best route planner. ABRP or Rivian nav etc. My favorite, by far, is PlugShare trip planner. Not many people seem to be aware of it so I’ll give an example here and point out why I like it. This example is a trip I may do soon from Missoula, MT to...

I got my Quad Motor Large Pack R1T in July, 2022. VIN in the 8000 range. Been driving the heck out of it and loving every mile. I have the 21" road tires. Yesterday I attempted a battery degradation test for the first time. My procedure was as follows; 1. Fill battery to 100% as indicated...

No news but they asked him about the Apple rumors and the Tesla Supercharger issue. Got the typical non-direct answers CEOs usually give but the Apple rumor answer was not "No" and there was maybe some RJ body language they make me think maybe????

Not much new. But “experts” say the Tesla pull back isn’t as harmful as it might seem. NEVI funded sites will start to come online at an increasing rate. One per day by end of year?

Three 120 kw chargers just opened in North Branch, MN on the way to Duluth. Very badly needed on this stretch of highway. At a Ford dealer. Behind a fence that might be closed when the dealership is closed.

This trip/efficiency report will be mostly pictures and graphs and short on words. The graphs are pretty darn good and tell the story better than words could. We drove our R1T Quad Motor with 21" road tires from Minneapolis to Sedona to do some hiking by way of Des Moines, Omaha, Denver, Sante...

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/09/business/bmw-electric-vehicles.html The gist of it is, BMW is succeeding because they build ICE, Hybrids, EVs on the same platform and assembly line and can manage cost and consumer demand easily. Rivian is not mentioned. A positive and accurate article for...

I’m a regular pursuer of PlugShare reports around the country. Today I was looking to see how the new EVGO flying J stations and Tesla magic dock stations are doing. Some have only a couple reports per month. I think they get far more use than that. In general it seems fewer people are...
