This is a great location. Also, I very much appreciate that they leave the bathroom open when the store is closed for the season.

It keeps lights off and sounds to a minimum to avoid disturbing others. Also convenient to enable 120V power.

The bill specifically exempts Rivian and Lucid from the retail price limits because they are California companies. Even though I won't be able to access this benefit because I am not a first time EV buyer, I think that this is a good limitation. It helps broaden the base of people buying EVs...

I just got back from a 1350 mile trip to Death Valley pulling my jeep trailer with a rooftop tent mounted on top. It weighs a little over 1000 pounds. We went over several passes as high as 8300ft and were as low as 260ft below sea level. I had several days where we drove into Death Valley and...

Talked to Rivian sales today, they said Rocklin was slated to open on May 8.

I am embarrassed to admit that it took me a couple of years to install a second holster for my Level 2 charger right next to my charge port. It used to take about two minutes to unwind and another two minutes to roll up the cable to store it back by the charger. Now I grab the cable and insert...

I also expect the R2 to be very successful. If the Normal Factory is running flat out, I don't expect a reduced price model of the R1 to be in the cards. Companies drop price to boost volume, there is no incentive if the factory is near full utilization. On the other hand, R1 is going to become...

Actually, I think Rivian could do better in this area. Most people that are new to EVs don't automatically know how about charging networks. Or that their route planner will ignore Tesla charging stations unless you find the menu page to specify that you have an adapter. This is a big...

What are your charging network preferences set to? Have you set it to 'allow adapter ' so it can find Tesla chargers? Hope this is helpful.

If you've done hard and soft reset, I'm out of ideas. Is this the post from 2024 that you were referring to? https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/front-hood-wont-close-pushing-the-app-or-button-after-2024-19-04-update.30080/

Does it start to move, then go back up? Or does it not move at all?

Probably a dumb question, but just to be sure, is there any chance the power hood operation got turned off?

If I owned a Gen2 R1, I would be very happy about this turn of events. It means the Gen2 hardware will be supported further into the future and in a more robust way, because it is shipping on a new platform.

Since Rivian’s Autonomy day announcement, I’ve seen many people commenting that Rivian is going to suffer from the Osborne Effect, where customer hold off on purchases while they wait for the improved product. This certainly will happen, but I think the current situation is much more complex and...

Probably because she owns a Rivian. .;) Hard to break the habit, even in a loaner CTruk.
