  1. End of my dream

    Ha Ha Ha...... you got that right! (I get the frustration though. Our country's EV charging network is junk...if you don't have a Tesla. Electrify America seems to be awful. Can you imagine if 40% of the time you pulled into a Sunoco or Exxon station, their pumps didn't work?)
  2. R1S Delivery Update Email (June 30, 2022)

    Ordered an R1T in April 2019. Ordered a Max Pack with Ocean Coast interior. I am not sure what to do now. If I am pushed out to Summer of 2023, not sure I have any patience left in me.
  3. El CAP GRANITE Rivian Photos

    I have had grey leather with 2 cars in the past. That worked well. PS I have also had two (BMWs) with Oyster leather and never got blue jean stains...or dirty for that matter.
  4. El CAP GRANITE Rivian Photos

    I live in Virginia. I have had black interiors....but no more. PLUS, at least with the R1T, the roof is all glass with NO sunshade. Some owners have noticed their R1Ts get toasty sitting in the sun. Is the R1S a glass panoramic roof? With no sun shade? FE would be better than BM. I...
  5. EA Electrify America Network is like a box of chocolates... 2000 mile trip report

    Nice post thank you. The issue is we have not idea what the ROI is on installing EV charging stations, especially faster ones like 300+ kwh. I do know the electric company chargers a LOT to provide the necessary 480 volt service. Approximately $40,000 per charger point. So installing 8 fast...
  6. RED CANYON Rivian Photos

    Dang it. I wish Rivian only had two colors. All these great choices make it so difficult to choose.
  7. EA Electrify America Network is like a box of chocolates... 2000 mile trip report

    Here is the issue. People think because Electrify America has the name America in it, that is somehow supported by the US Government. It is not. It is a private organization, just like every private gas station in the country. Electrify America does not need to provide good service. They...
  8. EA Electrify America Network is like a box of chocolates... 2000 mile trip report

    Our country needs a better network than Electrify America. EA was started because the US Govt came down hard on Volkswagen for dieselgate and gave them the punishment of being forced to build a Charging Station network. Forced to build a Charging network is not going to give great results. A...
  9. Real Rivian Photos & Videos

    Interesting it says "Powered by" Rivian. Why not just the Rivian name? It is a Rivian vehicle. Is that to distinguish it from the Amazon brand? If the van just said "Rivian" would someone confuse this van, with AMAZON in giant letters on the side, as being a Rivian company vehicle...
  10. El CAP GRANITE Rivian Photos

    I don't think Rivian has built any vehicles with Ocean Coast for customers - yet.
  11. El CAP GRANITE Rivian Photos

    I am thinking of changing to El Cap and Forest Edge, but I sure would like to see it in person first...
  12. El CAP GRANITE Rivian Photos

    Back in the day, that was called "power braking". It worked great to burn rubber out of the high school parking lot....
  13. If the stock hits $18 tomorrow I'm dropping $10k on it

    Rivian stock is certainly a better value at $20 or $25 a share, than it was at $75 a share. However, always remember a good company, can be a bad stock. Make sure you understand the total # of shares outstanding (the float), the valuation of the company, how soon they will potentially reach...
  14. Info From RJ's Fireside Chat on June 2nd (w/ mention of LFP batteries)

    Do you think it is a good idea to switch from the power cover to the manual? If the power tonneau is going to get jammed with tree leaves or twigs, etc., it might be cool to have...until it breaks.
  15. Info From RJ's Fireside Chat on June 2nd (w/ mention of LFP batteries)

    Normal plant is currently running 30 hours a week? Really? That is no way to get to 25,000 units this year. LFP batteries. I doubt they will help me get my R1T Max Pack any SooNer.
  16. Compass Yellow Rivian R1T at the Denver Service Center!

    Still undecided on color, and have never owned a "yellow" vehicle, but this picture has me reconsidering....it is on the list now!
  17. Compass Yellow Rivian R1T at the Denver Service Center!

    It appears most of the Rivians at that Service Center have the Auto Tonneau cover? Yes?
  18. Truck is bricked! Update FIXED! [12v battery trickle module software issue]

    I am hoping the Rivian and Teslas of the world put pressure on traditional dealerships to change their behavior. So Let's see how Ford does with the Lightning. They have been building cars for 100 years, so they are not completely lost. ....patiently waiting for my Max Pack.....anyone seen...
  19. Truck is bricked! Update FIXED! [12v battery trickle module software issue]

    I am pulling for all EVs...whether it is Rivian or Tesla or Lucid or Ford. Ford F150s are pretty reliable vehicles. If Ford produces Ford Lightnings that are as reliable as their ICE F150s, consumers should be pretty satisfied. Ford sells about 800,000 F150s a year for a reason. THOSE...
  20. Truck is bricked! Update FIXED! [12v battery trickle module software issue]

    This stinks. It also may explain why some buyers may opt for the Ford Lightning. The Rivian has so many cool features, and the ride, acceleration, towing capacity all seem to be class leading, but some people value no hassle reliability higher. I am hoping Rivian can get a lot of those bugs...
