  1. Electric Upgrade Offer: get up to $5,000 off R1 purchase when trading in gas-powered vehicle

    Agreed on the specific. A Highlander, but not an RX350? Very limited list.

  2. R2 Reservations List Tracker šŸ“‹

    Submitted. Spaced on the event so didnā€™t put the order in until 50 minutes after the event started.

  3. Dual Motor vs Quad Motor real world range

    Good point! A heat pump would go a long way to improving cold weather efficiency. Will be nice to hear what the actual range ends up being in the cold. Unfortunately likely not going to see any real world data for a year and a half.

  4. Dual Motor vs Quad Motor real world range

    It sounds like the Rivian range numbers are closer to real world range than what Tesla markets. If thatā€™s the case, Iā€™m interested in the standard pack as I donā€™t tow anything and that should be sufficient for most of my use cases. This is especially true if it is an LFP type that doesnā€™t mind...

  5. 800V Architecture Not Coming Until Next Gen Vehicles + Other Updates From Weekly Rivian Roundup 8/12/23

    An 800V architecture wonā€™t change the charging curve at the high end state of charge. The charging curve is based on a CC/CV algorithm, meaning that it operates as a constant current source when the battery voltage is low and switches to a constant voltage as The battery voltage increases. This...

  6. EV's more expensive to charge than ICE Counterparts?

    Thatā€™s a good point, I didnā€™t install a powerwall with the solar because we already had a whole house generator. Our usage is fairly high, so weā€™d need atleast 2-3 powerwalls to make it through the peak times. 2 powerwalls would be $16k after the 30% tax break.

  7. EV's more expensive to charge than ICE Counterparts?

    Talk about jealousā€¦. Here are my rates: Luckily it has gone down as of 8/1, but it was ~$0.35/kWh and now is moving to ~$0.24/kWh. One thing that is good is the solar payback, we just installed solar in March and with these rates and usage, itā€™ll take less than 5 years to payback. I would...

  8. EV's more expensive to charge than ICE Counterparts?

    It all depends on a lot of factors. Electric costs are variable and are really high in NH $0.35/kWh which levels the playing field quite a bit. Down in Florida the rates are $0.108/kWh, which tips the scales in favor of EVs. And yes there are no oil changes/brakes, but we chew through tires...

  9. Why are EA 350kw chargers so much slower than 150kws on our trucks?

    The CC/CV charging curve will generally dictate the max power that can be achieved at a given SoC (I.e. battery percentage). At a higher SoC, charging will be regulated by the voltage while the current will be reduced. Because of that, at higher SoCs, it doesnā€™t matter which station you plug...

  10. RJ Hint's there may be a demand problem.....

    I did test drive the R1T, it was great! R2 may be okay, but will have to see the specs. Iā€™m not ruling out the R1, will see how things play out. Iā€™m also curious about the Macan EV, but similar to the R2 need to see the specs.

  11. RJ Hint's there may be a demand problem.....

    I agree with your logic, doubt the prices will come down and the LFP is limiting the performance. I do like the that the LFP can be charged to 100% and has a better longevity, that should help keep the values higher compared to the NMC batteries in the long run. Iā€™m a little spoiled now with...

  12. RJ Hint's there may be a demand problem.....

    I had preorders for 5 different vehicles, with the R1T my first choice. But the price increases and Tesla price cuts pushed me to grab a Y for the time being. I cancelled all of my other reservations except for the R1T, but donā€™t want to spend $90k on a truck at this time. Iā€™m sure Iā€™m not the...

  13. Dash Cam coming soon in OTA Update! - Per RJ

    Or this one since it's relevant to this forum: People are targeting high value / unique vehicles assuming the owners have deep pockets. Rivian's are definitely in that category right now.

  14. Treasury Updates Vehicle Classification Standard for Clean Vehicle Tax Credits Under Inflation Reduction Act

    Yes I feel for everyone that bought one before the drastic price drops over the past couple of months. I admit it's hard to ignore the Musk factor which has kept me from getting one up until now, but it's also a decent option with today's pricing. It may not be a placeholder depending on how...

  15. Treasury Updates Vehicle Classification Standard for Clean Vehicle Tax Credits Under Inflation Reduction Act

    Yup, fully expecting it. Iā€™m seriously considering buying a Model Y since my wait for the Rivian is looking like it could be another year or so. If they increase the prices again, Iā€™ll probably hold off though as Iā€™d much rather have the R1T.

  16. Electrify America charging rate pricing increases starting March 6, 2023

    Yes solar is definitely worth it if your roof/yard permits. Iā€™m installing solar on my roof, but can only offset 75% of my energy usage before adding an EV. The electric rates are $0.34/kWh, which makes the switch to EVs less about saving money.

  17. Dual Motor Rivian Orders are now being confirmed!

    Iā€™m considering it, but I have time as an 8/22 reservation holder.

  18. Tesla Price Cuts Across The Board

    The price reductions definitely will have an effect on the market. I canā€™t stand EM and have put off buying anything from Tesla, but with the new pricing and available tax credit it does make it difficult to pull the trigger on an R1 especially at post-March pricing. Iā€™m hoping thereā€™s downward...

  19. Rivian battery size

    Yes we are going electric regardless,the solar will help as well.

  20. Rivian battery size

    Oh wow, I can only dream of having electric rates like that. Our electric rates in NH for the next 8 months is $0.336/kWh. The benefit of going electric isnā€™t nearly as beneficial as other parts of the country.
