I finally got a chance to spend some real time in the
#Rivian #R1T in CO so to compare it versus our #R1S, I took it up the highest paved road in North America, Mount Blue Sky, over 14,000 ft. The ride quality and utility absolutely surprised me.
Since our #Tesla is almost certainly dead (it's still under a tree so basically Schrodinger's Tesla now), this rocketed up my list of potential replacements.
#Rivian will race the new 1,025hp Ascend Quad Max #R1T at #PikesPeak this week
The Pike’s Peak International Hill Climb is one of the longest-running races in the world, being held 102 times since 1916. Also known as the #RaceToTheClouds.
Rivian’s entry is a stock R1T – but with Rivian’s new upgraded “#AscendQuadMax” trim. This ups the torque and horsepower to 1,198lb-ft and 1,025hp respectively, much higher than the previous 835hp top-spec.

These trucks ARE amazing. They aren’t the most efficient EVs but they are powerful and are routinely proving they are better at putting power to the ground than any pickup in the market.

There are better choice for distance towing but they are otherwise a great adventure vehicle.
I apologize for the link to Reddit (I myself deleted my account a short while back)
@leffie we (mostly, my wife) know a family with an #R1T I may ask. Same platform, basically, as an #R1S. We're worried about it fitting in the garage too. I told my wife to ask the guy if he could pull his truck into her garage spot, and to make sure he knows that's not a euphemism. (He is pretty good looking.)
#Rivian put on a fantastic event at the Classic Car Club in New York today. It got us super excited for our #R1S reservation to come hopefully soon, and the whole family “got into it”. I’ll have a ton of videos coming soon on both the R1S and the #R1T #evs #ElectricVehicles

Second one is a comparison of the Ford F150 Lightning and the Rivian R1T trucks. This one had more manual research by me as I found inconsistencies in the #ChatGPT answers.

Road Trips in Our Long-Term EVs Have Been … Interesting
Broken chargers, full charging stations, single-digit temperatures, and optimistic range estimates have tested our patience.
