  1. Rivian Shop just added a ton of available R1T trucks

    I'd use the same shop, but you need to make sure there's r1s shop inventory before releasing it to r1s orders.
  2. Keep the Lightning or R1T ?

    That's interesting because I never found the Ford as quite as the Dodge. But granted I've never driven an F-150 from The last 5 years. I do hope Rivian improves this over time.
  3. Keep the Lightning or R1T ?

    That's unfortunate. I have a ram 1500 and I thought the rivian was pretty similar. However I don't think I got on an interstate during test drive. I didn't expect the ride quality to be as near perfect due to the wheelbase but Rivian should have been able to make it quiet. I do know the...
  4. 2 trips in (w/ camping at Big Sur and Sonora Pass) -- impressions & photos

    I think part of the issue is a better route planner doesn't have separate entries based on wheel tire types
  5. Rivian refuses to reinstate my preorder...

    I still don't see the evidence this occurred. Phone call records emails or anything would help. In any case if it did any can prove it he stands a chance, even though it was past the deadline. I will say though if it's gone on this long one has likely been a little lazy about resolving the...
  6. Keep the Lightning or R1T ?

    Is it really more silent than the 21" R1T?
  7. Keep the Lightning or R1T ?

    Prices are coming down (and perhaps will be slightly better relatively for the XLT due to low volume), but 10-20k over msrp is possible at the moment. https://carsandbids.com/auctions/9A41Bey5/2022-ford-f-150-lightning-xlt
  8. Rivian refuses to reinstate my preorder...

    To be fair, at this point this was 6 months ago and you had to more or less know something wasn't right or active with the order on your account, as you explicitly cancelled and did not explicitly re-instate. You might be able to talk them into an exception if you ask nicely, but it's also been...
  9. Guest charging etiquette

    This used to be a lot more common when electrical vehicle range was low like first gen Nissan leaf and you just needed the top off to get home. After all level one uses barely any juice. I think it'll be less common with the high-speed charging but if somebody asked I would just let them and...
  10. Hotspot use, and WiFi

    That wasn't intentional, but use something different. More reasons why than I want to type right now.
  11. 21" tire tread wear and mileage.

    That might be an option, although I'd much rather go with 20" for ride quality, other than the base AT tire issue. But hopefully there are too selections on this. I do worry about finding P-metric tires rated for the load without going to efficiency-killing LT tires.
  12. 21" tire tread wear and mileage.

    Every truck I've bought, at 30k, get a set of Michelin 80k mile tires put on and they last. I suspect I'll be replacing tires once a year.
  13. What trailer hitch are you guys using?

    This is dependent on the trailer height. You want it level or just ever so slightly tongue high. If you have one trailer, measure hitch and trailer height flat and just buy a fixed config one at Walmart. $30. Easier to use too. If you're towing different stuff all the time, buy a nice...
  14. The Max Pack Will Most Likely Be Canceled - IMO

    There is a huge commercial truck market, that stays in a two county area and does 200 miles a day. And 20,000 year. They don't tow frequently and when they do it's from the nearest rental yard. They often have a dump truck or something in their inventory to tow with anyways. And much of this...
  15. The Max Pack Will Most Likely Be Canceled - IMO

    Mine is a 2009 hemi. 4th gen but only 5 speed. They're suppose stop put in the v6 turbo. I'm not sure if it made it into 2013 or not but it'll be the game changer. That and the 30 gallon tank.
  16. The Max Pack Will Most Likely Be Canceled - IMO

    F150 lightning work truck is for this case. Works best for the tradesman doing high mileage and returning to base each night.
  17. The Max Pack Will Most Likely Be Canceled - IMO

    Sadly mine gets 15mpg :). 12-13 in the city.
  18. Sandy Munro Tearing Down Rivian R1T Battery Pack

    Wouldn't the current DC fast charging rate be above one c it's maximum charge rate? Or is violation of this rule allowed to a certain degree if adequate cooling is provided?
  19. Any tests done on Vampire battery drain?

    A Tx of cell modem alone every couple hours isn't that bad if it has to wake up to perform other work. GPS trackers run on tiny smaller than cell phone batteries with hourly reports for many days. I suspect the wakeup occurs for "turn on the AC". I'm just not sure on battery status. On my...
  20. Any tests done on Vampire battery drain?

    I doubt its querying the truck. The truck is probably metering to the cloud. You are querying the cloud. I could be wrong.
