  1. EV tax credit increase to $12,500 in Biden's latest proposal as of 10/28

    Is there anything that stops a manufacturer from making the MSRP whatever they want, within reason? Could Rivian make the MSRP $60k for the R1T, for example, and sell it on the website for ā€œabove MSRPā€ with some kind of surcharge, similar to a dealer mark-up that doesnā€™t affect the MSRP?
  2. Entertainment System

    You could use a service like Soundiiz. No personal experience with it or other playlist transfer services, but they do exist.
  3. Rivian R1T OWNERS MANUAL Guide is here! ?

    I would guess GVWR is the same since it is the combined maximum weight of the vehicle and any payload (people, gear, etc). It is usually limited by suspension capacity and thus battery configuration wouldnā€™t have an affect on GVWR. most likely, the max pack will likely have the same GVWR, but...
  4. Official Cold Weather Driving Thread (Tips, Tricks, Tears)

    Agree with this. Before everyone gets too worked up, Iā€™d wait to see what real world range loss is in cold weather. 40% on the epa testing may not, likely will not, directly translate 1 to 1 with real world. Also that 40% loss was an estimate, combining multiple driving modes, in a standardized...
  5. ? Rivian App Deep Dive Preview: A Breakdown of Future Services

    They could also be using a unidirectional dc-dc converter to step the HV battery down to 12V. Iā€™m not well versed on winches, but they may want to go with 12V for commonality purposes.
  6. Official Rivian Wall Charger installation guide

    @hensot01 It should be stated on the face of the breaker which temperature(s) they are rated for. For example, my Siemens QP breakers are 60/75C rated, meaning they can be used in either 60C or 75C applications assuming the correct wire is used in conjunction. A breaker rated to 75C should be...
  7. Motortrend Videos are gone…did anyone download them?

    Where you can "jump" to different "conclusions". That the one? :CWL:
  8. Range, charging, 2WD questions

    Although not confirmed, you would likely be able to control the top-end charge via the vehicle interface and the app. Once that state of charge is reached, the vehicle would stop accepting power from the charge source and can remain plugged in without pulling additional energy.
  9. Telematics Control Module Stops by the FCC

    Could using two positioning devices improve accuracy? RJ mentioned they have precision to 10cm (I think?) which is pretty tight for civilian GPS
  10. Anyone else thinking of the R1T as a street Sport Truck?

    Living about a mile off of Woodward, I have a love/hate relationship with the Dream Cruise. I love it when I'm watching/driving in it, I hate it when I'm trying to get around town otherwise :) Edit: @DuckTruck the dream cruise is quite the event as @fastwheels indicated. Interesting fact about...
  11. New video "Let's Just Drive" & official letter from RJ provides huge update!

    Without battery back-up the system is generally grid-tied, like mine, which means if the power is out, youā€™re not producing. edit: or are you referring to trying to take advantage of time of day electricity pricing?
  12. Official Video: How Does it Feel to Drive a Rivian (Featuring Preorder Holders)

    If I remember right, a few of the people who were contacted by guides were told to expect more info to be released in July. Has anyone who was contacted by a guide been given an updated timeline for when that info would be released?
  13. Tesla to allow non Tesla EVs to use their Superchargers

    If I'm not mistaken, most tow trucks have a generator running off the PTO to power the hydraulic lift system. I wonder if they'd be able to tap off that to add an outlet that would allow you to charge enough to limp to the next charging station. Not sure what the voltage is for the hydraulic...
  14. Camp Kitchen Frustrations? Anyone else?

    The old ā€œnine women canā€™t have a baby in one monthā€ analogy ?
  15. Real Rivian Photos & Videos

    It was! That was the one thing I really wanted to look at when we passed it. This was my first time seeing a Rivian in person and it did not disappoint. My wife is even more excited because she liked the look of it
  16. Real Rivian Photos & Videos

    My wife and I saw this while driving down Southfield road near our house. The lack of plates, perfect paint, and trailering make me wonder if this is off the line.
  17. INTERIOR feature / details just posted at Rivian.com

    Iā€™m not an audiophile, but it sounds like a combination of the different technologies provided by Meridian essentially perform the function of noise cancellation. Specifically looking at the intelli-q and re-q...
  18. When is more detail on Driver+ going to come out?

    This article from Electrek seems to indicate Rivian will be providing updates to Driver+ via OTA updates. I think that makes sense even though it may not be explicitly stated on Rivianā€™s website...
