Rivian R1T / R1S

Sedoy · 09-02-2021, 09:13 AM

To each is own... I love the way it looks. 30x cold-rolled steel is ultra hard and extremely tough to work with, so simple shape makes a lot of sense. Plus it looks unique not like anything else on the road, I'm tired of "same sausage different sizes" designs those days.

Very likely a 70% or more reduction in range on difficult trails. TFL saw a 65% reduction in range when towing with a Tesla, and from my own experiences offroading, I get significantly worse MPG crawling than I do towing. I get around 2-3 MPG crawling, 10 MPG towing, and 18ish unladen highway with a 100 Series Land Cruiser.

Motortrend: We Drive the 2022 Rivian R1T Off-Road Across the Trans-America Trail, Part 1

The article doesn't go into offroad range (yet) but does show that the R1T has some offroad chops. Hopefully a subsequent article will cover the battery use / range reduction on difficult trails.

I saw four of them today in Breckenridge. Most manufactures test here for the high altitude. Reviewers have been floored by the Rivian. They are going to own this segment.

Part 2 of the Motortrend R1T Offroad Challenge

I wish they went into more specific about battery use / range reduction offroad, but there is one reassuring quote:

Quote:

It's easy to focus on anxieties like charging or range, but during 43 days of hard off-road driving through rural America we didn't run out of power once. Nor did we have any issue finding chargers for our Rivian R1Ts. The largest pain points were the occasionally unreliable Electrify America fast chargers.

Crazy thing is that I already saw a Rivian dealership.

It will become real when you see ordinary people driving them and parked in driveways.

KenB925 · 09-15-2021, 10:11 AM

I’m starting to see these around a bit more often

When customers take delivery then it's for real. They should do an event like Tesla delivering the first trucks directly to customers via livestream.

And I have to say I love this truck so much more then Tesla but not as much as Nikola truck. Nikola truck is just best looking Electric truck I have seen.

Definitely looks nicer than the Tesla!

Rivian is said to be working on their own Tesla-like supercharger network, over 3500 chargers by 2023. Also working on a level 2 network at off road destinations and state parks, over 10,000 chargers.

Impressive work of 4 independent high torque motors:

I saw a few testing in Breckenridge a month ago. I have never seen a car with so much praise. Reviewers are gushing about the Rivian.

AlexFL · 11-16-2021, 04:58 PM

This would be my spec…

Glad to see Motortrend is now officially irrelevant.

And I thought the Maverick front facia was butt ugly. Cool truck though.

And can't we just call "Vegan leather" "Vinyl" LOL.

KenB925 · 12-15-2021, 09:33 AM

I see these more and more, I live in the Bay Area, last weekend I saw one on Hwy 80 heading toward Tahoe.

I see a few Lucids running around too.

blinkme323 · 12-15-2021, 02:16 PM

Can't wait to be able to actually drive/buy one in two years 😜

Jeff_83 · 12-16-2021, 03:14 PM

Here in the Netherlands this pickup will too heavy to drive with a normal car drivers licence, truck licence needed

Jeff_83 · 12-16-2021, 03:17 PM

Car licence max weight allowed 3500 kilograms (= approx. 7716 lbs)

Sedoy · 12-16-2021, 03:41 PM

MT got Rivian R1T at around 7200 lbs. so it depend how they define vehicle weight = the actual weight or GVWR (~8,532 for Rivian R1T).

If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
