  1. What ICE truck are you going to buy now?

    Just to add to this and the reason why I originally cancelled my reservationā€¦ I really wish we had a plug in hybrid truck at this point. It makes the most sense especially when you really look at the physics of trying to make an ev truck. Just due to the weight and aerodynamics of the truck...
  2. What ICE truck are you going to buy now?

    Waiting on a tundra hybrid. Hoping to have it in April. test drive the f150 power boost and while itā€™s a lot nicer than I expected it to be, I just canā€™t get past that itā€™s a ford. I actually canceled my rivian reservation about a month ago after about a year. The last couple days Iā€™ve been...
  3. A very cool range estimator

    Im curios to see what the real cold temp hit isā€¦. Especially because it was -10F for me this morning
  4. Cancelling R1T Preorder - Reasons

    Almost all the driving I would do could easily fit in the daily range. Butā€¦. Looking at that worst case usage for the Rivian, Iā€™m looking at about $.11 cents per miles based on my rates. I know solar would offset this but I donā€™t have solar or the investment money to make that work. The new...
  5. Cancelling R1T Preorder - Reasons

    That 150 miles wasnā€™t towing, it was just regular range. Again, worst case and calling range the 10-90% of the battery. But with AT or snow tires and driving when it doesnā€™t get above 10F for a week, I really think thatā€™s what we are looking at.

  7. Cancelling R1T Preorder - Reasons

    So just quick math here. We have a 314 mile range. We loose about 10% for AT tires, only are supposed to use 80% of the battery capacity, and lose 30% of range in cold weather driving (also losses in hot weather driving but I havenā€™t researched that as much and happens to me much less than cold...
  8. Cancelling R1T Preorder - Reasons

    Iā€™ve come to the same conclusion but for different reasons. I love what rivian has done with the truck and do really want one. But I donā€™t think we are just there yet with battery tech for it to work well for trucks. I think after battery degradation, tires, 4 months of winter cold, general...
  9. TFL takes the R1T off road in the snow. Rivian R1T vs. Toyota Tundra TRD

    I had a 2016 trd off road for 5 years with a 3 inch lift and 32s and got between 20-22 in the summer and 18 in the winter. Iā€™m getting 13-14 right now with my gladiator. Iā€™m seriously thinking about getting the new tundra. Better gas mileage and the pano roof with full rear window up/down is...
  10. TFL takes the R1T off road in the snow. Rivian R1T vs. Toyota Tundra TRD

    Thatā€™s the problem and the crux of the issue here. Iā€™m completely fine with 300 mile range. But in reality we arenā€™t getting 300 mile range. It will be something like 200 and down to 150 worst case. And then you might be getting that 150-200 miles for a full charge but the math everyone uses to...
  11. TFL takes the R1T off road in the snow. Rivian R1T vs. Toyota Tundra TRD

    While I get the use of the tundraā€¦ a better comparison will be the future prime version. From what Iā€™ve been able to find, Toyota is going to do the base gas engine this year, hybrid next year, and the prime the year after. Iā€™m actually thinking of getting a tundra shortly because I know Iā€™m...
  12. JRE Electric Hummer Conversion Build

    I would really love to have even a plug in hybrid version of my gladiator but I donā€™t think papa stellantis will get there any time soonā€¦ related note is this brz conversion I had been watching - I had a brz too at the time. This guy took a leaf system and mated it up the the manual tranny in...
  13. Time to delivery.... if I order now.

    So Iā€™m a none LE preorder, pretty late to the game after being on the fence for a couple years but before the IPO. From threads at the time, Iā€™m at about 40k at the time. Whatā€™s the best current guess on wait time for me? I still havenā€™t gotten a delivery window email yet so Iā€™m just curious
  14. ? Rivian Sends Delivery Window E-Mail. What’s Your Dates? => Vote in Poll!

    There seems to be enough supply around me of bothā€¦ oddly all off them optioned to cost around 45kā€¦ I think Iā€™m partial to the VW too but towing a 850 lb quad, the Ford will be better suited
  15. ? Rivian Sends Delivery Window E-Mail. What’s Your Dates? => Vote in Poll!

    Soā€¦ I might need to reevaluate my plan. I have a jeep gladiator and I love itā€¦ but get 16 mpg and am going to have to slowly start going to the office more and more (but not really full time)ā€¦ Put in an order sept 21. With the buzz and stuff starting I figured I would wait until summer 22 and I...
  16. If a Rivian is not my next car…

    Im in the same boat.. have a jeep gladiator now. Love the truck but 15 mpg ha ha. Just looked and there are a dozen+ id4s on the lots around me, one awd. Iā€™ve been ready for the EV switch for a couple years but there hasnā€™t been anything for me. Iā€™ve had a few Tacomaā€™s and now the gladiator...
  17. Tax Credit Proposal - House Bill 11/3

    Thisā€¦ thisā€¦ I want this more than anythingā€¦ it could be 5k or 20k, but I want it at point of sale. I just have the feeling that Iā€™d get screwed with a deduction vs a set amount at the transaction
  18. Frightening EV Credits

    only thing that matters really is making it point of sale vs an end of the year right off... did that make it in?
