  1. Looking to purchase your Launch Edition

    Having the worst second (third?) thoughts. I had a fairly early Launch Edition registration before deciding an EV wasn't the most practical choice for me. I cancelled my RT! order back in June, but now my circumstances have changed, and a Rivian would make more sense. And I'm dying a little...
  2. R1T and Mountain Biking

    Mountain biking is why I'm getting the R1T - I love just hanging my bikes over the tailgate when headed out to a trailhead.
  3. Let's talk about charging on long distance travel?

    This is a good way to look at it. Bottom line for my individual circumstance is that a Rivian won't be a great replacement for my Audi TDI in terms of cost and time on these trips the way I originally hoped, but there are certainly other benefits that I'm still looking forward to.
  4. R1T vs R1S cargo area - how do you plan on utilizing it? Pros vs Cons?

    R1T will be used to haul bikes in the bed, and to carry work equipment on occasion.
  5. Let's talk about charging on long distance travel?

    Not going for worst case, but I am going for conservatively realistic. I'm not running this exercise as a fan or a critic - I'm running it to see if I can get a good handle on what I can really expect if I go through with my Rivian purchase. We don't have data on range yet for the Rivian. We...
  6. Let's talk about charging on long distance travel?

    Because the charging options at my destination are not different than being on the road (this was only one leg of my typical round trip). But it is worth considering. I will run the numbers again for the full route, but I think the EV will only fall further behind in the comparison. Edit - so...
  7. Let's talk about charging on long distance travel?

    I did that on purpose so that I would be comparing apples to apples. Leave with a full tank of gas, end with a full tank of gas.
  8. Let's talk about charging on long distance travel?

    I still have my Rivian reservation, but I am wavering. I posted this in another thread, but it is probably better suited here. The justification of the Rivian for me (other than its list of cool features) was that it would be my commuter vehicle - except that my "commute" is a 700-mile round...
  9. Let's Compare Features CT vs Rivian. Keep it objective

    Be careful with your estimates of range and charging costs when considering high-mileage driving. I was all in on an EV - still have my Rivian reservation - but I've cooled on it somewhat after taking a closer look at the expected savings in fuel/cost for my regular driving pattern, which...
