  1. Just confirmed NACS adapter shipping

    Got my email to confirm the shipping address too. VIN 96xx and I wasn't expecting this for at least a few more months. That's a pretty big step up the VIN #s from last time I checked. Crossing my fingers it shows up by the end of the month. There's a RAN about halfway, but the beach town...
  2. Towing + Efficiency: Please post your experience!

    When a belt broke on my riding mower at my camp, I had already decided that I wasn't putting another dime into it, even though it was an easy fix. And I was getting even more agitated pushing my 20 in Kobalt mower back and forth on my close to 1 acre at home for 3 hours twice a week. So I...
  3. Tesla V3, V4 Superchargers and RAN Stations Map (kml for Google Earth)

    Is it possible to add a specific marker for locations with Magic Docks? I recently found out there actually is one in Pittsburgh. I was just looking for compatible ones down the road when I get my adapter sometime this decade, and only realized it was a Magic Dock because of Plugshare reviews.
  4. 20" Nitto Recon Grappler AT tires 25% more efficient than Pirelli OEM AT! The holy grail!

    I know the 15k/30k is a rough estimate, but let's continue that napkin math a little. With my home electricity rates around 0.14c/kWh it cost me ~$70/1000 miles if I round off to 2 mi/kWh efficiency (which I have exceeded over 27k miles now). So ~$1050 for 15k miles. So getting the 20% more...
  5. My First Time Seeing The Rivian R2 @ Electrify Expo Orlando! Including Pictures!!

    Does anyone know if the portable charger/hand warmer in the passenger door is the same dimensions as the flashlight? And the same as the R1's? Would love it if they were interchangeable between vehicles. When I get an R2, I would use the charger/handwarmer in my truck more often then I do...
  6. R2 / R3 Hands-on Impressions by MKBHD Marques Brownlee (w/ RJ Scaringe) -- exterior & interior

    Probably been discussed in one of the 18 page threads, but has anyone confirmed that they will all be 800V? I couldn't find it on the R2 website and don't recall hearing it in the reveal.
  7. R2 / R3 Hands-on Impressions by MKBHD Marques Brownlee (w/ RJ Scaringe) -- exterior & interior

    They clarified it for me in this interview. He said all 3 motor configurations (single, dual and tri) would be available with 300+ miles of range, but the base single motor has a smaller battery with something like 270. There is also a single motor with a bigger battery.
  8. R2 / R3 Hands-on Impressions by MKBHD Marques Brownlee (w/ RJ Scaringe) -- exterior & interior

    If it works as good as the one in my R1T I'll be more than happy. Never had an issue charging either of my phones.
  9. RAN Rivian Charging Stations Locations Map via Google Maps

    Last I checked about a month ago it was 12-14 months to get a transformer.
  10. Rivian doesn't cost less to drive on long trips

    I refute that and discuss it with anyone that gives me the chance. I raise eyebrows all the time when I open with it takes me 10 to 20 seconds to charge. 5-10 sec to plug it in, and 5-10 to unplug. The rest of the time I'm not in or around the vehicle and doing other things I would be doing...
  11. 2,333 mi Winter Trip from New York to Georgia in R1S with an iKamper

    Short answer, no. Depends on what you consider a dent. At best that would get you 1-2 mi/hr of range charging, and that's assuming you had them perfectly oriented in the sun for the few hours it was at peak each day. I guess if you are travelling less than 10 or 20 miles a day, then the few...
  12. Why do Rivians charge so slow?

    It's already been explained well, but let me rephrase the original post and question to try a common sense approach. Recently I saw a Ford F150 ICE truck and a Ford Fusion ICE sedan pull into a gas pump. Both of them pumped 5 gallons of gas in their tank in identical times of 1 minute. The...
  13. Updated powered tonneau cover installed. Less noisy and operates more smoothly (video)

    Not quite. Had mine done today and also had a misaligned lower trim panel finally replaced and it was only about 2 hours. But here is a really funny story. I washed the truck yesterday afternoon after it collected a month worth of mud and other stuff during hunting season. I misjudged just...
  14. Issues with reported range?

    That's mathematically correct and pretty similar to what I do. Even though the truck maxes out at 284 miles remaining on the display at 100%, I routinely get ~3mi/% or more in the summer. But just as easy for me to ballpark (driver displayed range minus actual miles remaining) then add or...
  15. Issues with reported range?

    I wish this was true. My nav estimate has been consistently 40-60 miles less than what I arrive with on every long trip I have done. It used to adjust up slowly throughout the trip, but yesterday only added a couple of miles to the original miscalculation and stuck there all the way to the...
  16. Rivian Service Centers / Retail Locations List / Other Facilities (Pics & Updates)

    Seems odd to have some of the furniture delivered before the foundation is even poured, but guess you take what you can get in today's supply chain world. :CWL:
  17. Rivian Service Centers / Retail Locations List / Other Facilities (Pics & Updates)

    Rivian's map on their website still has it listed as coming soon, but I have an appointment in a couple of days at the Groveport(Columbus) OH service center. Address is 5740 Green Pointe Drive North, Groveport, OH.
  18. Cybertruck taking the road less traveled

    I hope they continue to take the roads less travelled. At least the roads less travelled by me, since just looking at one of those things makes me ?.
  19. Software Update 2023.46.0 is rolling out

    Got it a few days ago and noticed one thing that I wouldn't actually consider an issue other than making something already bad worse. I think most of us realize the range remaining estimate on the nav is pretty useless and the range remaining on the driver screen display based on EPA estimates...
  20. Successful First Ski Trip Report with R1T: Gilbert, AZ to Sunrise Resort (good trip, disappointing Nav)

    I'll wager you have the latest software update based on your nav experience. Reason I'm guessing is because the nav always notoriously made the truck listen to RJ's goal to "underpromise and overdeliver". And while mine always grossly underestimated how much range I would have at the end of...
