- 2023, Rivian R1T, white & Blue
I finally got my new R1T and I love it! It is a generation 2, forest green duel motor max pack. picked it up at the Seattle Service Center. A fine young man named Lynn walked me through the process and the truck UI.
Lynn was very knowledgeable and helpful. It is rather impressive how many great employees Rivian seems to attract. Even when I was frustrated with the time line dealing with the several Rivian employees through text and phone calls was a delight.
I traded in my Tesla model 3 which was a bit different than trading in a traditional car, sense it had access to my phone, garage door and other things. It was reasuring that Lynn had worked at Tesla previously. It was helpful as he walked through the way to transfer the Tesla and reset the tesla UI to remove my personal information. It was also very helpful that he could point out simiularities and differences in the UI between Rivian and Tesla.
On the way home, I stopped in Elensburg to grab some snacks and use the facilities. I had over 40% of my battery charge and could make it home to Richland without stopping but I was curious and wanted to play it safe. So I plugged into the Circle K 180KW charger. It worked like a champ. I was up to 70% in a very reasonable time. From the charger location you can look north across the parking lot and see a big Tesla super charger station. I was able to watch a new cyber truck pull in and start to charge at the same time.
Being able to compare the new cyber truck to my R1T, gave me a lot of comfort in my choice switch brands. I personaly just like the freindly look of the Rivian over the edgy look of the cyber truck. Charging at a non Tesla station in an adjoining parking lot let me see the various charging options are more than adequte. I recomend the Circle K charger to anyone driving through Ellensburg. I was a bit concerned about not reciving the charge adapter at delivery, Now I'm going to see how many trips I can make without using the Tesla network at all.
I'm very pleased with the R1T, the truck is sweeet, However, the real bonus as been the wonderful experiance meeting others in the Rivian community, everyone has been helpful and freindly. The employees I have worked with at Rivian also reflect a charming freindly helpful vibe as well. I hope I can live up to the community standards, you guys have all set the bar high.
Thank you to all
