Mav and Rivian R1T

[landscpdesgnr]

Over by my neck of the woods, I'm on the other side of Maitland by Bear Lake.

Maitland Ave & Maitland Blvd light facing north. I was hoping they would turn before I had to go right & crept up the ramp to north 17-92 hoping it was going that way lol. Had to be going into W.Pk to 17-92 South.

Wow I didn't even know these kind of gens existed! Well I'm sure when I did my research to buy the 1st one I got in 2004 they didn't. Otherwise being far cheaper than a whole house system, I would have gone this route if they can handle a FL sized A/C units kickstart. How much noise do these make?? I have PTSD from gen noise for a month in 2004 and since then having a gen is as essential as a clothes washer, grid around me goes down atleast 1x a month w no storms.

I still would not charge an EV from a gen when I can go 2 mi to a super charger and be done in under 45 min depending on the EV & charger.

I am being told camper AC units will turn on and blow but not cool with anything under 3000 Watts - Trying to find a somewhat portable GEN for home electric outage duty and trailer camping down the road -

I just can't get past the front end of the Rivian (and the rear isn't much better). I presume the designers wanted to stand out from the crowd, but, I'm sorry, that is just hideous imho.

First time I saw a picture of the Rivian i thought the front reminded me of a pigs nose. It still does. Cant help but think of a pig every time I see a picture of one…

Now, here's a good looking front end:

However, this helps:

Overland land buddies liking the Red/Arc -3000 W / Sine-Wave inverter. I'm thinking I just want an Odin 3000 w generator - Lots to learn.

I have a Onan QG4000 in my RV…

I will never unsee the eyes. Changed how I will see Rivians forever!

I paid $32,200 out the door.

I think he placed his reservation the day of the LA show when it was announced and paid around 70K, I think…. So yeah, the Mav is awesome.

Did you drive it ?

See C/D fun facts below - by the numbers - the Rivian has a little better accel, but mav (hybrid) almost matches for top speed, does better in the corners, and can stop much quicker.

No, he’s been offered before, but have always declined. I don’t care about any other EV truck. I’m waiting for the CT no matter how long it takes. I have a Model 3 and love it, I’ll stick with Tesla.

Somthing about both of the bodies are Similar

Here is a cool Mav vs Rivian video.

I saw two different rivians on the road the other day - which is kind of wild considering I've only seen three whole Mavericks in the wild (other than my own). Pretty neat looking trucks. You'd confuse them with a bronco from the front at first glance

I think they are ugly.
