Rivian is here in my hometown, my Son-in-law has a great job with them. I was a bit suspect a couple years ago, but everything I'm seeing them pump into the facilities and what I hear is too notch. Production is ramping up. It sounds like it all is getting very busy there. I hope they all do wellI have one reserved. And a EV hummer. I hope they are fun. The ford looks great!
If I do not like them, I will flip them for more. Or make a quick review video for each one.
I cancelled my Rivian order because the charging network they plan to implement seems like a joke. But I did sit in one at CES and the interior is fantastic. Fit and finish is wayyy better than my teslas.
And I am not a big fan of the cybertruck. I bet the insurance will be insane considering the stainless steel body.
Rivian Specs are quite good and the price point is not bad either. Nicely appointed and equipped I think, I like them but for one thing, Those Manga cartoon EYES Headllights, that is DORKY IMO But that's just my taste I guess...Rivian is here in my hometown, my Son-in-law has a great job with them.

I have had the opportunity to drive RWD, FWD & AWD EV's. All of them took off like Scalded Cats ! And I used to play 1/4 mile games with BB Chevies in excess of 600HP and those were DOGS in comparison...Totally agree on the lights. That is one of my biggest gripes. He told me your can't imagine the get up a go this has.
Yes that is the voltage used in the Solaredge Storedge system DC coupled with one version of LG Chem Resu battery. I think they use DC to DC converters to vary the voltage to charge or discharge the batteries.some high end systems use near 350vdc high end battery banks, with just slightly higher Solar PV In vdc.
I'm curious how it feeds your house with power without feeding the grid on accident? Im assuming you have to install an automatic transfer switch of some sort?
As far as I know no one has yet delivered a truck to to public. Rivian has delivered a few of theirs to employees but not yet to the public. Is Ford actually delivering product to customers? The F150 does look good and may have me rethinking my Cybertruck reservation if I could actually buy an F150 at a reasonable price.I know of no other awd truck body all electric out yet that comes even close..
At this point the wait, even if they start selling them tomorrow, is years away due to pre orders and the limited amount of units they can produce. Tesla has shown they can build a EV in many ways while Ford is still playing catch up.The F150 does look good and may have me rethinking my Cybertruck reservation if I could actually buy an F150 at a reasonable price.
If you’ve already got DC-coupled solar with a house battery, it’s even easier (at the cost of some lost efficiency).You'd just feed the house the same way as you would with any portable generator.. ether a transfer switch, or a mechanically interlocked breaker..
Pretty simple.
