    What $70K ICE car would you have gotten ?

    I'm pretty sure I would still feel the same... I don't think that EV's are going to take off like most people on this forum thinks they're going to . We represent a very small percentage of the population. I have a very large group of friends/family members/coworkers (professional and blue...

    Loss of the exhaust note…sex without noise.

    I do miss the visceral experience of my Trackhawk. The supercharger whine. The exhaust burble between shifts. It was faster than my Model Y performance too (not by much). Do I miss gassing up all the time? No. Do I miss taking a trip and my stops only taking 10 minutes instead of 45...

    TFL drives the new GMC Hummer EV

    I'm not sure they were crying about it. They were disappointed that Rivian never responded to their emails. I like the TFL folks. They give honest, no holds barred reviews. They're fan-boys of no brand.

    (UPDATED) My review: I got behind the wheel of R1T and here are the details if you are interested!

    Thanks for the post. Very informative.

    Are we happy now?

    I lose a 1/3 of the range in my Model Y when I drive with traffic (75-80 mph). Not too big a deal because there are a lot of superchargers where I travel. That being said, it takes 1/2 to 3/4 of an hour to charge to 80%. Trips take longer. I may change my order to the 400 mile pack once I...

    What $70K ICE car would you have gotten ?

    Ram TRX or a Ford Raptor. I've owned a Model Y performance for a year and I've learned a lot about EV's. Not sure I'll get another one.

    Tesla Fans

    I like Tesla and cool unique cars. I'm hoping I love Rivian. Time will tell.

    R1T versus F150 Hybrid/Electric...

    You've listed some very good points! I too am intrigued by the F-150 Hybrid. There are going to be different pros and cons for all of us. I agree with a lot of what you're thinking. I bought my first EV 4 months ago. I wanted something unique. And fast. I'm glad it's a "clean" vehicle but...

    HUMMER EV Pickup first official look

    I thought the Hummer looked bland. If they were going to keep the "traditional" truck look, I wish they would've sharpened up the lines. Kind of like my old military Humvee. And then when the price was revealed, no thanks. Not even in the ballpark.

    Do you think that Rivian vehicles could get the same hate that Tesla owners sometimes deal with?

    I've been driving my Model Y for over 2 months in Michigan and haven't had a single issue. I have had several people ask about what it's like to own an EV. Which is a fun conversation because it's my 1st one.

    Reservations About My Reservation

    You're right. I just sold my Trackhawk and bought a Model Y performance. I wanted a unique car while I wait to see what/when Rivian comes up with. My 1st EV. Taking care of the environment is a good thing, but not high on my list for buying an EV.

    So No Deliveries in 2020?

    I'm kicking around selling my Trackhawk and buying a Model Y now. Then wait until 2023 when that ugly Cybertruck is ready. Tesla's worked out a lot of the kinks that Rivian is going to be learning on the fly. And there's no comparison to their charging network. I'm not totally convinced that...

    Lincoln's Aviator - the SUV the R1S needs to Beat?

    I like the Aviator. I have no problem with owning a car with a gas/diesel engine. I put my reservation down for an on/off road performance vehicle that happens to be electric. I'm not totally sold on getting a Rivian. There are some very intriguing options coming out between now and who...

    My one deciding factor on converting a deposit to a purchase

    The getting service aspect is not very important to me. I trust that Rivian will produce a good product for $70k. If I was worried about the vehicle breaking down or needing service, I wouldn't buy it. That's my 2 cents....

    What Will you do when you Take Delivery?

    I'm sure I'll be driving it like I stole it at first. Then spend some time learning about the features/tech. Or having my son explain the features/tech to me. Ha

    Why are you buying your Rivian?

    I like the performance and looks of the R1T and R1S. I like that they're going to be a unique vehicle. My motivation has nothing to do with climate change. I'm never going to take it camping or up to a ski lodge. I'm going to drive it every day with my dog in the back seat. The marketing...

    GMC Hummer EV teaser video - 1,000 HP and 11,500 ft lbs

    I'm going to seriously look into the Hummer. Partly because they took a stand with Trump.

    Hello from Chicagoland area

    Just found this thread. I'm in SW Michigan and put my deposit down earlier in the month for the R1T. I may switch to the R1S. I'm looking forward to seeing them in the flesh this summer in Chicago or Detroit.
