  1. Cost was a reason for charge port location on R2 / R3 + other info in RJ interview with Electrek

    My vote would be for driver's side rear for two reasons. 1. I was in a parking lot where a child was killed by a car backing out of the parking space and crushed a young child. One of the hwy patrol men there told me this is common. He said, "backing into a parking space and then pulling...
  2. R1S vs Model Y in mud

    Sorry, I am not going to read every post here but I will say that my Model Y traction control is so much better than my Dodge Cummins with full locker on the rear and off road tires. As long as ground clearance is not an issue, it is uncanny how much better the Model Y does in the the dry and...
  3. VinFast's new sales approach has US car dealers cautious but interested

    We have a Vinfast dealership in my town. I test drove one. It was exhausting. After a 10 minute drive I needed a nap!
  4. 🚨 Rivian Adopts Tesla NACS Standard! (Adapters in 2024, Standard Charging Port in 2025)

    I think people are so incredibly happy about this that they are not worried about paying $200 for an adaptor.
  5. 🚨 Rivian Adopts Tesla NACS Standard! (Adapters in 2024, Standard Charging Port in 2025)

    This is a big help to owners, future owners and my have saved Rivian's butt.
  6. GM adopts Tesla's NACS standard! Munro begs Rivian to switch

    Elon is already not concerned about the Chinese. Tesla Model Y is the #1 selling car in China right now. Elon can exhibit some wild behavior at times, but actually Elon and Tesla have been very consistent about their mission statement which is to spur sustainable transport. This mission has...
  7. GM adopts Tesla's NACS standard! Munro begs Rivian to switch

    I don't understand why you are saying this, other than predjudice of your own. What reason do you think that Elon Musk choose to reject any Vietnamese or Chinese makers from the Superchargers?
  8. GM adopts Tesla's NACS standard! Munro begs Rivian to switch

    Absolutely everything you have said here is likely correct. All the more reason to ASAP make the big statement to join NACS, get in some fresh orders while also keeping those who may be bailing out for Cybertruck and the new Silverado. Again, just tear off the band aid rather than going down...
  9. GM adopts Tesla's NACS standard! Munro begs Rivian to switch

    I'd say, since so few Rivians have been built so far and hopefully there are many more to come, just "rip the bandaid off" and start installing the NACS in the trucks ASAP. Same for the tiny number of existing Rivian chargers. The sooner they change over, the easier. CCS at this point, is...
  10. GM adopts Tesla's NACS standard! Munro begs Rivian to switch

    I do hope Rivian joins the Tesla Superchargers. I've been driving Teslas since 2012 and the Superchargers are fabulous! I am waiting on a dual motor but will definitely cancel if Rivian states that they are not joining. And. of course if Rivian joins in, that will make me and a lot of people...
  11. My R1T in Moab [Video]

    Thank you so much for this video. That is a trail I know well. Please though, next time take the video in landscape (horizontal). thx!!!
  12. R1T offroad footage and info from from South America!

    I have lots of experience through out north African Sahara, Canadian and Alaskan Arctic regions and USA/Mexico desert Southwest. I am completely not impressed by the Rivian video. Proper off road use is slow and safely. The Rivian suspension is demonstrating limited articulation of the the...
  13. Does Rivian SUV have space for a spare tire

    Thank you for pointing this out. I'd need a full size spare for the places I go. May have to mount it via a rear bumper style mount.
  14. Does Rivian SUV have space for a spare tire

    If a company has a link to ask questions on their website, and a customer asks the same question 3 times, it might be good business practice to take 30 seconds to answer that question.
  15. Does Rivian SUV have space for a spare tire

    In any event, it is very frustrating that the company does not respond to emails when I ask them these questions.
  16. Does Rivian SUV have space for a spare tire

    I was thinking the footwell for the 3rd row seating in the SUV would take up the same space as the spare tire space on the truck?
  17. Rivian adjustable air suspension

    Stiff suspension for climbing over boulders or up rock steps is a problem. You want supple with lots of travel to keep all 4 wheels on the ground all of the time. Historically coils with solid axles have been the best. Land Rover Defenders and Range Rover were much better off-road when they...
  18. Does Rivian SUV have space for a spare tire

    I have emailed Rivian 3 times but I never receive a reply. I know the truck has space for a spare tire. Does anyone here know if the SUV does as well? I wish Rivian would respond after 3 emails. Makes me a bit disappointed in them. I would call them but there is no phone number that I can find...
