Well on the heels of the Motor Trend truck of the year 2022 news, I was just thinking about in the future for over-the-air updates what do people think the name should be for the Rivian based launch mode for its vehicles? Tesla has a Cheetah Mode, what would people here on the forums think a...

Wonder if Rivian will do a "Billy Goat" launch mode OtA for their vehicle's. Noes drops down, battery pack warms, and car makes goat sounds, then lunches. TESLA has Cheetah Mode... Just saying... The R1T is as sure footed as a mountain goat.

Not surprised (I 100% knew it would), but congrats Rivian! Pet MT... "Put it against the only other electric truck out there, the GMC Hummer EV pickup, and the Rivian hauls more, tows more, has a nicer interior, has more storage space, drives better, rides and handles better, is only slightly...

Again, not surprised!

R1T with a bullet! MT's Criteria 1. Advancement in Design R1T is a new segment in size, 4 motors, gear tunnel, etc. It without question furthers the 4 door/truck segment. Not some much for the others. 2. Efficiency Rivian; 315 mile range, with 400+ miles available. Hummer says "estimated 350...

Originally the 5 seated was the configuration for the Max Pack R1S. That was a while back, but now the Max Pack isn't an option.

That'll be a must have especially reaching over the front of the vehicle to access the frunk.

Ford XLT Super Crew 40k Ford XLT Lightning XLT 51.5k ($7,500 credit doesn't = $7,500 off MSRP) Financing difference on MSRP of 13k over 60 months is $225/month (14k). Range 550 miles vs 230 miles (115-130kwh) 12.5 cents kWh ($14 a fill at home) Real range (80% advertised) Average miles driven...

Spend more now, so you could save more later? You're a car salesman's dream. Might I offer you the undercoat protection package? It's a joke, but seriously? Fuel savings, not getting your oil changed, it does add up (I've owned EV'S, hybrids and V8's alike), but asking somebody to see the...

I agree and disagree. A very small margin of EV buyers won't care about range, and that number will probably only get smaller over time (inversely proportional to chargers). The more EV's become common place the more the metrics move down field, like 0-60, range, etc. People will be sold on...

Did anyone else catch this, I'm looking over the Ford website and the list the top trim Platinum as excluded from the 300 mile range target. So the $95,000 Ford F-150 Lightning will have less than a 300 mile range. Also it looks like the Hummer EV will not have a 300 mile range. I just don't...

Maybe a smoke tint across the light bar, headlights and rear light bar. Something more subtle. Doesn't look horrible, but doesn't look amazing either.

Look to the Cadillac Lyriq for the GM future... Not impressed overall, but again "they're the EV leaders". I hope repeating that mantra works for GM, and good to see that union and corporate lobbying can get the legacy auto manufacturers their "union made" EV credit since being the leaders of...

My Model S was Skynet My R1T will probably be =0===0= if it let's me. Thanks to whoever came up with that first ?

That's 50+ miles on a tow and 100+ miles day to day. Not worth it for some absolutely, but a must have for others (myself). Just the thought of looking at the screen of my R1T Max Pack as I slide into the drivers seat seeing 415 miles of range gets me excited! Hopefully good news coming for...

Certain technology is ubiquitous Waze, Android Auto, Apple Car Play, etc. I completely agree they're important, and Rivian no doubt will have their version. Will they be better, probably not (IDK), but the camera's from what I've seen and heard are really poor quality. More so then Rivian's...

@Monkey 100% agree on the drive modes. Should've covered that more.

Thought Doug did good job on this one, with some really insightful points. Hill descent and hill hold sound like a must have to me for off roading. But the cameras! Seriously how could Rivian allow their camera tech to be frankly abysmal? I'm still in disbelief... I absolutely am in love with...

Max Pack... Anyone who's towing regularly should get one (or a diesel half ton if you're serious). Fanboy or not, R1T is still the best option out there for range and towing in the EV truck segment period. Not bad for startup. And I'll be honest... I've never used Android Auto in any of my...

Such hurtful words ? If you're right... I'll... I'll... I'll be waiting I guess till 2023? But for your sake and mine please be wrong.
