to be clear, I am not buying one ... lol. I bought the dual motor R1T. Best fit for my needs. Will share what I learn re pricing options etc.

Got the email inviting me to order... delivery by June Comes with Free Charger 10k towing 400 mile range 5' 11" bed Super Cruise 4 wheel steering 350kw max charging 0-60 4.5 sec We shall see...

dang, makes me sorta regret cancelling... this is very nice!

Are you able to do the free FSD transfer from the CT to the Model X?

There is some risk with Rivian for sure, but I think even in a bad case it will get bought not go into liquidation (same IMO with Lucid). There are a bunch of vehicles I would not buy because I expect them to die - Fisker, Faraday, Canoo, etc. - but I think Rivian and Lucid will live. No one...

I cancelled my CT Founder Series order (lost $500). Happy with the decision. R1T is a much better vehicle for me for many different reasons. Not least, smaller footprint, better range, better amenities (e.g. homelink, gear tunnel, spare tire, etc.) and I pocketed nearly $20k. Will be much...

Am picking up a Dual Motor R1T (large pack) tomorrow. That was the right balance of functionality and amenities for me (and $19k cheaper than the DM CT foundation). OTOH the reality for Rivian is the business makes or breaks with the R1S which is 70% of its volume. I think adding a 300 mile+...

Vin confirms it’s a 3WT epa rated at 393 miles. https://www.decodethis.com/vin/1GC10UED5RU200482

GM is telling reservation holders the RST will start deliveries in next 5 months. That makes sense because they have published the full feature list to dealers (below). I have a reservation - am not likely to follow-through with it since I've decided an R1T will be a better overall solution for...

Things that make you go hmm.... Model Y AWD 4680 vs Model Y AWD 2170 batteries.

Should note as an aside: you can calculate from the Hummer data that the Chevy RST will require a 25-30 minute stop once every 3 hours (210 miles).

For me, this is the only charging data that matters. How many (hwy, real world) miles do I get in 20 - 30 minutes (125 - 160). All the other bloviating about relative decline rates and peak charging are just that. I want to know, when I am on a long-distance trip, how long before I have to stop...

On the range, Kyle is comparing a quad motor R1T with AT tires (epa rated 289 miles) to the dual motor CT. The Dual Motor R1T has an EPA range of 352 miles on road tires (max pack 410 but not sure that is really real). Everyone has access to the Supercharger Network in the coming months. I...

I was responding to the following comment: "so that’s about 8-10 mpg equivalent to a gas truck" and related to the Silverado EV. Your point, while valid in its own right, relates to a different aspect of the discussion than the one to which I was responding, which was about efficiency.

Not sure I understand your comment. On an energy consumed basis, a gallon of gasoline has 33 kwh of energy so driving at 1.1 mile per kwh while towing (as in this video) means that the EV is getting 36 miles per gallon on an energy-equivalent basis. The F150 got 9 mpg. The EV is four times more...

To be sure, the looks of the Chevy E-valanche are an acquired taste.

TFL ran the Silverado EV (WT 450 mile model) 232 miles with a 6.5k tow load. Everyone's math is the pretty much the same: ~1.1 miles per kwh in good weather when towing this sort of load. The CT will get around 135 miles with its 123kwh battery, the Chevy gets 232 with its 212 kwh battery. The...

I have a day 1 reservation during the 12 minutes before they "sold out." Have been on the list for just over two years, so I should be in line to get a Launch Edition RST as soon as it is released (in Spring 2023 lol).

It seems to be very personal. My wife loved driving the R1S and found the seats no issue. I am really hoping this is addressed in the Mid-cycle refresh on the R1 coming in second quarter (when they do the plant shutdown). For me personally, it looks like this summer will be the next episode in...

Rivian R1S owner - generally love the vehicle two things I think are much superior in the Tesla: Autopilot / FSD and Seat Comfort (assuming CT is similar to other Teslas, but I find the Rivian seats uncomfortable in longer drives and putting pressure on the nerve in my leg). The latter is...
