  1. Chargepoint and EVGO Ruin EV Experience

    We are not far apart in our opinions. Love my Lightning, but we will probably always have an ICE vehicle. Take a look at ABRP and see what the options are for leaving out of Corpus Christi. Adding Tesla will help, but not much. So in retrospect, if I did it again, I would probably have...
  2. Chargepoint and EVGO Ruin EV Experience

    It amazes me how much people are willing to endure in order to drive an EV. Can you imagine calling a 75% success rate at a gas station mostly fine? Compare the experiences. With a gas powered car, five minutes and you have a "full charge" 99.9% of the time. With an electric car, in many...
  3. Lightning Owner with R1S on order

    Understood. I have tried electric. Love the simplicity and the torque. Hate the limitations. Yes, charging options are coming, but what about hooking up a boat and going to Port Mansfield? You won't make it there in the first place, and if you did get there, there is no place to charge...
  4. Lightning Owner with R1S on order

    I'm always up for an education. Thanks. Still cruising the forum and trying to decide on my next car. At this point I'm thinking seriously about a Grenadier!
  5. Lightning Owner with R1S on order

    I appreciate the responses about overall range, but there are so many variables that play into that, like what charge did you start at and what charge did you finish at and were those highway miles etc. Miles per kilowatt hour is something we can all compare a little more easily.
  6. Lightning Owner with R1S on order

    Overall my trip odometer says 2.1 the past 4000 miles. I drive it pretty hard. Love the acceleration and I spend a lot of time above 70 when I'm on the highway.
  7. Lightning Owner with R1S on order

    That would be nice but my CPA says otherwise. Something about needing a VIN by the end of 2022 to make it valid.
  8. Lightning Owner with R1S on order

    Thank you. Very helpful. I doubt that I would get above 1.8 at 75 without traffic.
  9. Rivian executive acknowledges R1S AC noise problem

    This thread is one of the many that I have read that have me thinking about canceling my order.
  10. Toyota Touts 745-mile range, 10 minute charge for Solid-State battery

    Solid Power is one. Quantumscape is another. VW partnered with them for development. They have shipped products to vehicle manufacturers, and are happy with the testing so far. Their stock jumped 15% on the Toyota news, and stayed up on 2x volume today. Solid state is getting closer to...
  11. Quad motor vs locking diff

    I read the first couple of pages and the last page of this thread. Can someone explain to me the early comments that claim that software can not overcome the lack of a locking differential? It seems like software could measure spin and adjust braking and torque to specific wheels. I know that...
  12. I'm getting closer to my R1S and am cautiously excited but the vampire drain story is concerning me.

    Just getting started in this forum, and this battery drain thing is an issue. My Lightning has sat for multiple 1-week periods and one 2.5 week period with zero drain. I charge to 50% before I leave, and it's 50% when I get back.
  13. R1S Shop access live with lots of inventory!

    Before 3/22. I did not remember the date so I did not specify. I'm old pricing.
  14. R1S Shop access live with lots of inventory!

    I have a question about the pricing that I am seeing on the images posted in this thread. If you configure a quad motor/large pack on rivian.com, it comes to $93,000. Are they offering these already-built vehicles to early reservation holders at the old price? I'm an early reservation holder...
  15. Lightning Owner with R1S on order

    Howdy. First post here. I have been driving a Lightning Lariat for 7 months and 7,000 miles, and I absolutely love it. That said, I am thinking about trading to an R1S. I have an "old pricing" R1S scheduled for delivery Q1 2024. Quad motor, minimal add-ons, $77,000. I do not qualify for a...
