  1. Question regarding Supercharging

    Have used my A2Z adapter several times and it worked well. The lever/switch to secure it to the NACS cable is a bit clunky and took me a couple of tries. But once i got that going it worked perfectly. Now i have gone from planning my trip ahead of time to not really worrying too much, at...
  2. A2Z NACS To CCS1 Adapter Review

    Ordered both A2Z and Lectron a while back. Got A2Z shipping notification this week. I fear that those waiting for the Rivian free adapter are gonna be waiting a while. Hope not... but ask me about my tonneau cover I have been without for 18 months. I fear that Rivian is gonna be more inclined...
  3. Software Update 2023.46.0 is rolling out

    Updated to 46.0 last night, drove about 150 miles today all on Driver Assist. No issues. Driver assist changes to support lane change were perfect for me. I will actually use it now. Great update.
  4. When you steal a Rivian Amazon EDV but don't know how to drive ?

    Things have really gone downhill for Steve Urkel since Family Matters got cancelled.
  5. Additional Tesla Supercharger availability for non-tesla in AL, AZ, CO, IA, IL, LA, KY, OR, PA, WA, MN, MS, MI, IN and Canada

    Hoping the new Supercharger install at wally's in Pontiac,IL gets magic dock when they finish the install. Their old ccs chargers have been in bad shape for a long time. Its rough finding a reliable charge in that area.
  6. GM adopts Tesla's NACS standard! Munro begs Rivian to switch

    Or, if Elon decides, he can basically put Rivian out of business. Seems like a problem to me. Going to be an interesting 12 months or so as this battle rages on. Bet EA and EVGo are gonna be pretty cautious in their investments until the dust settles here.
  7. New aftermarket (manual) Tonneau Cover for Rivian R1T

    I think i am going to order this, it looks great, love the flush look. My power tonneau has been disabled since day one and I really doubt it ever gets fixed. And I paid 1500 for that too.. wonder if rivian will refund that, i doubt it. Thanks @EV Sportline for stepping up where Rivian does...
  8. It’s like magic (Tesla Magic Dock)

    They have a membership program for 12.99 per month that drops the rate by 25% or so. Probably worth it if you use them a more than once every few months.
  9. 2023.10.0 software update OTA released. Includes Tesla Supercharger network option and 12v battery draining issue fix

    Wonder if Rivian is setting up to begin allowing non Rivian charging at a fee? And probably also setting up for subscription or pay as you go based charging for rivian owners starting next year. Without doubt they probably want some revenue from RAN.
  10. First R1S Road Trip - Wisconsin to Gulf Shores / Destin - Advice?

    Depending on where you are starting from, you will probably have to deal with Lafayette, IN or Bloomington, IL Electrify America locations. Lafayette seems to be a bit of a train wreck lately and Bloomington, IL can get very busy and may have reduced output. Plan for a little extra time at...
  11. Any Chance for Normal Door Handles and Proximity Keys?

    I don't use PAAK, I only use the key fob. Works exactly as every other car i have ever had with the exception of when i push the unlock button the handles pop out. It really feels no different. PAAK works find for me too, i just prefer the fob.
  12. RAN question: why the love for Michigan?

    Michigan has more than a thousand miles of fresh water coastline that is largely underserved from a charging perspective. So perhaps this is to cater to midwesterners from IL, IN, OH who vacation in Michigan. Combine that with Rivian's significant corporate presence in Michigan and factory in...
  13. Tail light / turn signal malfunction

    Just closing this one off with what was fixed. They replaced the entire taillight assembly, the service experience was excellent, it took a couple weeks for the appointment.
  14. Efficiency secrets?

    Another thing i have tried is to take a more direct route using 2 lane roads. it has a double benefit sometimes. Less miles and reduced speed often gets you there in about the same time and efficiency is great. Check out the efficiency route in google maps. But only sometimes this is worth it.
  15. Tail light / turn signal malfunction

    Wondering if any one has experienced this. First when I activate the left turn signal I get a fast blinking and only the front one blinks. Second I have noticed randomly that I will go somewhere or walk out in the garage to see that the left rear taillight is on. Just the one taillight. Then it...
