My 2020 Tesla Model Y has 117k miles at 3.4 miles / kWh.

My 2022 Rivian R1T (offroad tires) has 50k miles at 1.77 miles / kWh.

It's going to be so good.

What an amazing human being.

I think every Honda I've owned had at least two seatbelt recalls. Why is it so hard for companies to get it right?

"This is BEE-137 requesting landing assignment, over"

Not really the color combination I would choose, but it's fun to see.

So you're just going to completely disregard Dr Pepper?

Time to go muddin'!!

Do you have a data cap on your home internet? What percentage of it do you typically use?

Ain't she a beautiful sight

That looks really good, but my concern with things like this is they'll hold dirt and moister against the underside of the vehicle which will accelerate the decay of important fasteners.

Does it look like it will drain well? Is the area easy to clean with a hose from the side of the vehicle?

Music is a full body experience. Earbuds are insufficient.

Yeah dawg, frisdranken, gimme summadat for real.

I don't fight cancer survivors. It's considered rude.

I am not a fan of "Launch Green" but I'm really excited for R2. There are going to be a lot of "D2" and variant license plates :D

Would your career be in the water based human rescue industry? ;)

It's a sad lake without water :(

Lowest it's been in 17 and a half years.

I have $1000 in Tesla credits that I don't know how I'm going to spend. Supercharging just isn't part of my regular life anymore, and there are no accessories I want from them. I figure Rivian is the same way.

I find that anything which would be a short term occupant of the gear tunnel could just as easily be put in the back seat area.

Longer term gear tunnel occupants for me are tools and such.

My recovery gear lives under the rear seats in "long term storage". And charging equipment goes in the frunk.

I want that for my Rivian :D

How much did the original cost? $2000 seems like a great deal!

Cool - I'm looking forward to more companies using Rivian's vans. I'm glad they are producing more than personal vehicles. It's good for the brand.

The very real dangers of working from home.

I've had a CT scan. No broken ribs or internal damage.

Max pack is apparently 141kWh. 70% (10 to 80 charge range) is 98.7kWh. At $0.64/kWh that would be $63.17 +tax.

More importantly, if the vehicle is averaging 2miles/kWh, that would make it $0.32/mile. I really hope people are only using this kind of charging for road trips.

Well that almost ruined my day.

You're nearly to half the cost of the car. Might as well buy it and trade it for a new one in 3 years.

Is Rivian going to continue delivering vans to Amazon?

MORE PICTURES!!!

I just remembered t here's cheese in my fridge. This day just got so much better ...
