  1. ABRP 4.5.0. gets a major upgrade

    I 100% agree. I think that would be great. As an ABRP subscriber it would be awesome to synch my Rivian to ABRP the way I did with my Tesla.
  2. ABRP 4.5.0. gets a major upgrade

    Jason, Great to see you checking in here! Thank you for everything you guys are doing. I will state again that ABRP has been invaluable to me in the process of route planning and owning an EV. I know it is a Herculean task, but it has really helped me quite a bit. I'm excited to see what...
  3. ABRP 4.5.0. gets a major upgrade

    I've actually had ABRP do the same thing, bypass RAN chargers in favor of EVgo/EA. Then I've had it flip back and include RAN. It does seem a bit random. I've also had the same issue with waypoints. I've included the RAN in Inyokern on the way to Mammoth, then STILL had it have me charge at...
  4. ABRP 4.5.0. gets a major upgrade

    I just used it on a long trip, and it worked pretty well. The biggest problem I have is with Alexa. Alexa is absolutely horrible. I don't think I have ever sworn so much at anything!! I would keep asking basic things like 'take me to the Comfort Inn in Des Moines Iowa' and it would pull up...
  5. ABRP 4.5.0. gets a major upgrade

    That's interesting. For me, it is actually the opposite. ABRP is the reason I decided to get a Tesla in 2020. It is also the reason I decided that I could make the large pack R1T work for our twice a month (in the winter) trips to from Newport Beach to Mammoth. I used it last summer to plan...
  6. Dual-Motor Rivian R1T first test drive review: "It’s the Same Picture" (Motortrend)

    It certainly if far more planning, no doubt about it. You have to plan for stops, to plan for the logarithmic charging curve.... It is definitely not as easy as an ICE. That being said, it ended up being much easier than I thought it might be. Part of that is because by the time we got the...
  7. Dual-Motor Rivian R1T first test drive review: "It’s the Same Picture" (Motortrend)

    Yeah, it's REALLY funny about all of that. I got my R1T in May, and it's awesome. For the last 3 years I've been driving a Tesla AWD long range model 3, not the performance version. My wife has been driving Mazerati Ghibli, the lowest end edition of that. I prefer the appearance of the...
  8. Can a paak Phone be locked inside a R1?

    Many thanks guys! I have nightmares of returning to Christianitos road or the Seashore in Newport or the HB pier and finding my truck gone. What does make it scary is that the door handles are out when the car is open, which makes it easy for thieves to spot.
  9. Can a paak Phone be locked inside a R1?

    While the would solve the problem, for me this is simply not a solution. I surf pretty regularly, 2-3 sessions a week in the summer. I surf a bit less in the winter if the snow if good at Mammoth and Baldy. When I surf, I lock a key card in a lockbox and attach it to the vehicle. I have...
  10. How are you planning to haul your ski / snowboard gear?

    The skis are Shiva 10 Blizzards in a 156. It was a close fit, you might be able to fit a 160, but I don't see 168/172 across the bottom. You might be able to fit a 168/172 ski diagonally in a 3D manner, with the tips (or tails) resting against the top corner of the tunnel, but I don't see a...
  11. How are you planning to haul your ski / snowboard gear?

    I should add that I forgot to put in a couple of shots of the tails againts the closed tailgate. I assure you that the tailgate was closed, and the skis fit:CWL: But you'll have to take my word for it. I was concerned about the bed length, but I have to say it is BARELY long enough. Another...
  12. How are you planning to haul your ski / snowboard gear?

    I got my R1T on May 4th, and I was able to get one last Mammoth trip in. I was also able to do a day trip to Mt. Baldy. I don't have the tonneau cover yet. Here are some pictures I took of skis in the back and in the gear tunnel. Sorry the photos are all over the place, I'm still figuring...
  13. How are you planning to haul your ski / snowboard gear?

    Thanks for all the photos! I still wish the bend extended under the seats. I am curious about how a rack over the bed, as opposed to the top of the cab, would affect range. If we were in Colorado or Washington or Utah and our destinations were close I wouldn't be all that worried about the...
  14. How are you planning to haul your ski / snowboard gear?

    Yeah, I just wonder why they didn't do away with the gear tunnel and extend the bed under the seats to where the gear tunnel would be. I would personally rather have the extra bed length for skis/surfboards than have a gear tunnel. With the shorter bed of the R1T I would think other people...
  15. How are you planning to haul your ski / snowboard gear?

    It's not just the length with that ski, it's the width! What are they, 120 or so underfoot? In practice 80% of my days are either on a 186 4frnt EHP or a 185 Armada JJ. I've got some that are shorter and narrower, for when it is really firm, but in practice I tend to like wide skis. My rule...
  16. How are you planning to haul your ski / snowboard gear?

    Sorry to hear that, but not shocking. A 192 Benchetler is a HUGE ski! I am curious about why Rivian is not doing what the EV Silverado is, extending the bed to under the back seats. It would really help solve this issue. There might be reasons why they are not, I really don't know, but it...
  17. Death to the longer range R1S?!

    I will check the Lucid out. I honestly know very little. We are lucky to have the schedules we do. It has made skiing a lot much easier. I am more flexible than my wife. I basically just need to be getting my work done. On the weekends we don't go to Mammoth if I want to get some work done...
  18. Death to the longer range R1S?!

    The model 3 does work, but I would prefer the additional space. I would also like slightly better snow performance that the model 3. The model 3 is not terrible in that regard, but I would like something slightly better. Granted, we typically take the shuttle from our place, so the issue is...
  19. Death to the longer range R1S?!

    Certainly good questions. We don't tend to stop, other than for charging. We have our schedules set up so that we usually get every other Friday off. Because of this, we drive up early on Friday morning most days. Usually we leave around 5 am with an 85% charge (or so) in the model 3...
  20. How are you planning to haul your ski / snowboard gear?

    Thank you for posting this! It definitely helps. Most of my ski days are at Mammoth, in most seasons my wife and I go every other weekend, and I'm really interested at to whether my skis will fit. Most of my Mammoth days I ski a 186 4frnt EHP. They are 116 underfoot and have a fair bit of...
