Thanks for all the great insight and feedback. Much appreciated.

I’m in Rancho Cucamonga, so I’m thinking I’ll have the same charging experience. Good to know. For me and my family, that $14K would be better spent on some camping gear to accompany us on our adventures. As a kid, my parents picked up a StarCraft pop-up trailer… looking to do something...

Gary, I am often mistaken for a ‘Gary’… good to meet you. I’m totally with you on the SOC issues with NMC. I want the flexibility that comes with the LFP cell. How fast can you gain 120 miles with the LFP?

Thank you! Wondering… what do you think about their respective charging curves. I’m pretty sold on the LFP, but would love any insight you have on both battery types.

Greetings and Salutations! I've been obsessing about owning an R1T for some time, and I am inching ever closer to pulling the trigger. I got a chance to test drive an R1T last weekend and it was an amazing experience. Check out our family day with the R1T here, if you're interested. I'm...

Great thread! I’m gleaning lots of info here. I found out this weekend that my electrical panel is pre-wired for a dryer, but we have a gas dryer. We turned off the breaker with no affect to my house so we are good to go. In short, I was able to free up room on my panel for an EV charger...

Good point. I think I’d rather take a calculated risk on an interest rate drop coupled with the inclusion of the NACS port. Right now, I got a paid Prius C, saving me $$$ on gas and maintenance. The more I wait the more I can save.

Very interesting… thank you.

Wow! Thanks for the thorough guidance. I think patience will pay dividends. I’m not chomping at the bit, and I don’t mind waiting for something that makes my life easier in the long run. After all, interest rates are insane so maybe delaying my acquisition will be the best decision...

You get it. I realize I’d still have to use an adapter now, but long-term that situation would eventually come to an end. In short, I don’t mind signing up for an adaptor knowing it won’t be forever. I’m hoping we see it on the 2026. It might be a way to inject some excitement and sales into...

Lots of rumors out there but does anybody have any clear insight… maybe on the Gen 3? 2026? I know it’ll be native on the R2 but my family needs the bigger R1 series. I think native NACS might be the thing that helps encourage me and others to make a move. I keep my cars a long time and if...

I’m not even an owner yet and I understand that Rivian is still in the early adopter phase. Patience is essential, especially if you believe in the company and what they are trying to accomplish. It’s clear to me that the company is doing all that they can to bring their vision to reality...

While I await my own Rivian, my son cruises around in his custom R1T. I need to work on the gaps and overall build quality… P.S. Some knucklehead thought it was a CyberTruck… the audacity! Greg

Also, are you thinking the 20” base wheel/tire, or the off-road package? Thanks for the advice. I’m thinking of the base 20” wheels with the all-terrain tires.

R1T owners… If you please, I need your guidance on a few things… Dual Standard - I love the LFP battery and am totally fine with 270 miles of range. The large pack doesn’t offer significantly more range, costs more and I’m not as big of a fan of the NMC battery. Any insight on my thinking...

Thanks again! I can tell that this forum is full of expertise.

Again, sound advice. I’ll probably pick up a used 2025 R1T Gen 2 down the line.

Sound advice. I did think about picking up a used one down the line. For now, I’m partial to the Gen 2 for its long-term capabilities. I plan on owning my next car for a very long time… still driving my 2014 Prius C, haha.

Aspiring Rivian owner here... got my R2 reservation although I am seriously considering an R1T. I'm all about finding the perfect adventure vehicle to take my kids camping while teaching them about the next evolution in transportation; electrification. I have a podcast and YouTube channel...
