My R1T is having the tonneau cover replaced with the revised design, and they were out of loaners, so Rivian took me to Enterprise. This was sitting out front, and offered to me. Of course I jumped at the opportunity to drive this around for a week or two! Apparently they have loaned it to...

Right, I was wondering if they left the AC L1 and L2/N pins. The ground, proximity, and control pins are necessary regardless of AC or DC charging.

Have you seen the green in person? It is more gray than it shows online. Just wanted to temper your expectations. Canyon red is a great color, but I am a bit partial. About a year ago they decided that Forest Edge interior can't be combined with red, blue, or yellow. There were a few built...

I know it can't be used for AC charging, but I was wondering if they removed the pins on the vehicle side like the other adapters are doing? Seems odd that they showed them in the pictures on their website. They can't be connected to anything, so it is just wasted expense to have them there.

Did you check the already built inventory?

This is a bad idea. You are getting the free adapter, just wait for the supported one to arrive. While the chances are rare that there would be an issue, if there ever is, you may have liability issues using an unsupported adapter (ie Tesla goes after you for damages to a Supercharger, and...

Wonder if GM will do the same. Rivian has also committed to providing free adapters, though in typical Rivian fashion, they have no timing, and even when they do announce the timing, it will be missed by several months. Importantly the adapter Ford is releasing looks to be exactly what Tesla...

No, the dealer mailed me a check.

It was easy to start the cancellation, even got an email from the dealer within a day saying they would start the refund. However it took 2 months and several emails to actually materialize.

There is not a release on the charger side for the cable lock. Both CCS and NACS use a solenoid in the vehicle inlet to lock the cable when charging. The only improvement from CCS to NACS is that CCS also has a finger actuated latch on the charging cable, which if broken can prevent charging...

That's what makes the R1T so great (or one of the things).

All we know is that they will start shipping some models with native NACS in 2025. Not sure which models will be first or when they all might switch. Either way it really isn't a big deal, in the short term you will need an adapter one way or the other to utilize the full charging network...

Did you call or go to your dealer? I got an email from my dealer when I canceled, but still took several followups and about 2 months to get it.

Rivian has Alexa built in for voice control. Have a look at the manual to see the kinds of things you can control (access the manual through the app, or via the central screen). The cruise resume is kind of annoying, but you get used to it eventually. I never used USB for media files on other...

What part of my comment led you to this conclusion?

GM hasn't missed dates on the Silverado, they were never supposed to be available until this fall or early next year depending on the trim level. That is also why you haven't seen any reviews yet, but I think I heard from a few outlets that first drives are coming soon, so you will see a little...

No Android Auto or CarPlay. They think they can do a better job curating the experience and software themselves.

Rivian doesn't have CarPlay, and they don't appear to have any plans to add it, so if that is holding you back from the Silverado, probably should strike the Rivian off your list too.

Definitely understand that. Fullsize trucks have gotten way too big. Maybe you would be more comfortable in a Rivian, it is what I would call right-sized. Basically between today's midsize and fullsize trucks, very similar in size to the GMT800 trucks I had in the past. I spent a lot of time...

The Avalanche was last seen a couple generations of truck ago when trucks were more reasonably sized. The Silverado EV will be sized like modern trucks (ie bigger). The bed itself is a foot longer than the Avalanche, which I don't think is a bad thing, and overall size is nearly identical to...
