  1. Rivian Navigation

    Google now shows police radar locations on its maps and allows you to pin locations of same.
  2. HUMMER EV Pickup first official look

    Here’s Doug DeMuro’s review of a prototype Hummer EV - it doesn’t even run, but he needs a cold shower after reviewing it:
  3. "... Rivian will integrate Alexa into its electric pickup and SUV"

    And put a security freeze (not fraud alert) on your credit file with each of the three main credit report companies.
  4. Any Day Now

    Ford has now released the configurator for the new ā€˜21 Bronco. Using that, I built my ideal Bronco using the 4-door Badlands edition with the highest Lux package and Sasquatch package - came out to a shade under $57K. I have a reservation on the Bronco and will be able to finalize it and put...
  5. HUMMER EV Pickup first official look

    I’m not interested in waiting 3+ years for a GMC pickup equivalent in price to the R1T. I still have bad memories of the dog ā€˜94 Chevy pickup I owned; swore after I traded it off I’d never own another GM product and I intend on keeping that promise.
  6. Charge by Towing

    I have no idea if Rivian will bless charge by towing or not, but I don’t see how it could void any portion of the vehicle’s warranty as it’s simply taking advantage of the regenerative charging designed into the system.
  7. Roof Options - What is your preference?

    Fixed (regular) roof for me. It’s hot enough during summer in Oklahoma that I don’t want or need another source of heat and light in my vehicle, especially right on my balding head. And if I ever want to admire the sunset or stars I’ll stop in a parking lot and get out to get the full view - I...
  8. Tesla Battery Day

    I watched the whole presentation- and it’s causing me to rethink purchasing any EV at this time. Through vertical integration of battery production and the improvements they’ve made in all facets of same, Tesla can realize a 54% increase in range but it might take them 3 years or so to reach...
  9. Video: Preproduction R1T Begin Rolling Off The Line!

    It appears to me that only the brake pad holders were installed on the rears and the (yellow) calipers would be installed at a later time.
  10. Video: Preproduction R1T Begin Rolling Off The Line!

    Not necessarily - the wheels on my full size 2016 Ram 1500 Laramie also have five lug bolts.
  11. Poll: Rivian Factory Delivery & Tour

    I’ve been counting on picking up my R1T at the factory ever since I placed my order - and was hoping they would include a factory tour! It’s an 8-1/2 hour drive back to my place in Oklahoma; easy one day drive if I didn’t stop for sightseeing along the way. Which I probably would.
  12. New Official Video: Normal, August 2020 | Progress Report | Rivian

    They painted all the assembly robots the same color blue as the pickups - brilliant!
  13. R1T accessories & options wish list.

    I have a couple of wants/wishes: 1.) Sentry mode a la Tesla to use the existing cameras on the Rivian as dash cams to record everything while driving and monitor & record activity around the vehicle when parked. 2.) Lockable, secure storage compartment for the center console. Aftermarket...
  14. The Composition of Rivian’s R1T Customer Base:

    You need to check into the upcoming Lordstown Endurance BEV pickup - it’s designed to be more of a utilitarian vehicle, and thus might be lacking some of the bells and whistles in which you’re not interested. I disagree with your statement that a long bed is a requirement for a camper shell - I...
  15. Ford F-150 Reveal

    I kind of wish you hadn’t posted that reveal video - 700 miles per tank with the new 3.5 Hybrid engine; wireless CarPlay; and free Sync 4 connectivity with OTA updates will just make it that much harder to wait on both the actual R1T and detailed info on its options and features.
  16. Rivian Waiting Room: Have you pre-ordered with deposit?

    I have their app which shows pricing - they're at $12.60/hr for both CCS1 and CHAdeMO and $1.25/hr for J1772 at stations near me. Not having ever owned an EV I have no idea if this pricing is good or bad?
  17. Rivian Waiting Room: Have you pre-ordered with deposit?

    Francis Energy has built a very good network of charging stations across Oklahoma - not sure if they plan on expanding to other states.
  18. Rivian Waiting Room: Have you pre-ordered with deposit?

    Placed my pre-order for the R1T yesterday. I'm in Oklahoma; I'm expecting to fly to Normal for delivery. Well, even if Rivian comes up with a dealership near me I'll still probably opt for factory delivery.
