Announcing our new "CLUBS" section where you can join or create a Rivian club or group! You can use this new feature to conveniently plan and discuss local events, gatherings or other club/group related topics.
So we encourage you to join (or start) special-interest and regional-based Rivian clubs at: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/group-categories/clubs-groups.1/
I do appreciate that Rivian has been putting out almost daily videos, but I wish they contained more.....ya know, information. Of any kind.
Watching the R1T slide around on ice is neat and all, but I think we’d all appreciate some actual details about the truck
So, this confirms they currently have a 400V charging system. 160KW at 400A and 200KW at 500A.
If they had 800V charging, then 400A would be 320KW and 500A would not be possible, due to the 350 KW limit. In an 800V system the maximum current supplied by the charger is 437.5A at 350KW rate.
Edit: I guess a heat pump could still be in play, interesting heating system they have for the batteries, hopefully means a higher efficiency than other electric cars in the cold.Website update to go with this:

This doesn't exclude the existence of a heat pump for the cabin. It does make it unlikely that they are using resistance heating for the cabin.Looks like no heat pump confirmed
