  1. Charging cable port cleaning.

    Dasoss. Thank you, again the Rivian Engineers are smart. But, I still keep a cap on the charger end when it is hanging on the wall. I do not rest it into the charger box because that is on otherside of the garage and I have a cable ramp on the floor encasing the cable in place. The garage...
  2. Charging cable port cleaning.

    It seems like a hot spot for arcing. Loose wirenuts in wires in buildings have caused many fires. It is common for regular 120 volt wall outlets to get debauched and spark causing black soot to be visible on the cover plate. Or to have the plugs loose tightness and fall out. I guess the...
  3. Charging cable port cleaning.

    Is it a good idea to use electrical connection cleaner spray on the cable end sockets or the end in the charger port on the vehicle? Is this a way to help reduce heat in the coupler? I saw cleaning in the service done at the Service Center.... How and with what, and to what end?
  4. Great Truck - Unrealistic to Maintain

    I fear what will happen to utility costs, food costs, insurance costs, war costs, as well the cost of fear itself. I am not trying to be a smart ass, I too have an R1T out of warranty now. But my only option for resolve is to buy a new vehicle just before warranty expires. Even if I do that...
  5. Great Truck - Unrealistic to Maintain

    I fear you may be right, or he's a working man and too busy to get back quickly. However, your point is well made and we must all view posts anywhere online to be an empty post till verified. That goes for any subject except poetry!
  6. Great Truck - Unrealistic to Maintain

    The cost of most autos is up from what it was years ago. Everything is up, gas too, and no it's not back to $2. a gal. The metric for measurements is in a spin in my mind. To look into the future? well that is fuzzy. So, the "cut to the chase" experience in my story is I have solar PV on my...
  7. Where does it get speed limits?

    I have had mine in cruze when set to speed limit and had it attempt to do 85. I reset it and drive happily down the hill.
  8. Where does it get speed limits?

    My dash says the limit is 85 mph on Hwy 58 decending the grade out of Tehachapi Ca. this has not changed for 3 yrs. It does correct a few miles down the grade getting into the Central valley. My guess is that the cell signal there is out and the default is 85? Or a DOS Typo?
  9. Mystery Bumper Wires!

    Unknown things can be alarming, best to study the detailed owners manual. Knowledge is peace, thank you for the answers to the question. ;)
  10. Extra warranty miles for distance to service center.

    When I bought my R1T, I knew the closest service ctr. at that time was over 2 hrs. away from me. I bought anyway, it felt risky, but when I found out that some service could be done with a remote service van comming to my house, I was very happy. Twice I was serviced by the remote service van...
  11. Extra warranty miles for distance to service center.

    I live 2 hours away from closest service ctr. Rivian gave me a loaner that they paid for including the fuel to drive home and back for the service time in the shop that they warrantied, Luxury car too.
