Here we go again. Yes, this is a redundant thread. To summarize ... Alexa was the app for voice commands. It was free. Technology wise it has no future with Rivian. Rivian dropped Alexa early in August. Voice commands are still available using Rivian Google app but require a connectivity +...

I have a Samsung S21 Ultra and my wife has S23. Our R1T is Gen 2. My ultra phone supports the digital key which is in Samsung wallet. My Wife's phone does not support digital key so her's still uses the Rivian phone app. Both phones work every time for PAAK. Our biggest inconvenience, which...

Yes, climbing in any vehicle takes a lot of energy and down takes little. But in the R1 (and all EVs) the regen is quite amazing. If you are going round trip the regen pretty much takes the elevation out of the equation. Round trip mountainous up and down drives at highway speeds have only a...

At 25 - 40 mph I assume the dirt road is pretty hard packed, maybe washboard, but not mud, loose sand or thick gravel. So, if it's like our typical forest roads in AZ, you will get good range, similar to city driving. The wind drag difference from 40 mph to 60 mph has a huge impact on...

My perspective is it depends upon the person, the car, and financial situation. Remember, extended warranties are high profit margin. The insurance company pays out a lot less than they take in. So, if financially I can handle a major repair, and vehicle has been pretty reliable, then no...

There are probably specific products. I just use rubbing alcohol.

Try cleaning the EVSE plug and R1 outlet. A Q-tip works. Over time a bit of corrosion can build up and cause some heating. Also, over time the daily plugging in and out causes wear on the contacts, which over time can cause a less than optimal connection resulting in heat. You may be able to...

2 years ago I got a flat in Casper WY. Car towed to BiG O. They had never worked on a Tesla (Its Wyoming). Asked if had pucks. Nope. They figured out they could use the ones they for had corvettes.

I Industry standard says 60 days. But remember that is from build (paint sprayed), not when you receive. There is build date with each vehicle. Considering transportation and such the vehicle will have weeks of aging when you get it.

I owned a model Y. Compared to the Model Y, the R1T gen 2 is significantly better. I live in the mountains of Arizona. Lots of rocks and pebbles on the road. Paint chips are normal and we plan on a major windshield crack once a year. After 5 years and 50,000 miles the model Y had hundreds...

A number of people on this thread have indicated a circuit running continuously (3+ hours as EVSEs often do) should be derated 80%. This is true. But what it leaves out altitude. The OP is in New Mexico (land of no Rivian service centers). Although he does not say the city, all of New...

Must have something to do with your settings in ABRP. On my phone using ABRP for this route I got almost the same as your Google map with Kanab charging added. Looks like you should have no issue with charging. I have not used Kanab, but its pretty new. Route planning on the RIvian can be...

Adjusting the EVSE only should be fine if all is working propoerly The Rivian and EVSE negotiate. Rivian asks for current as it is set. The EVSE responds with how it is set. They should go with the lower of the two. But since you are trouble shooting, why not set both lower to see if it...

I suggest, On the Rivian drop the setting down to about 36. 40 amps is the max on a 50 amp breaker when running for hours. It may be borderline tripping. This may resolve the problem. Breakers do go bad, so this could be the issue. Do not replace with a 60 amp. The breaker is there to...

I can answer your questions. I have the IKamper mini 3.0. Its a year old and has been used about 3 weeks over the past year. IKamper history ... When the 3.0 came out, IKamper had the base mini and a DLX upgraded version (no Rvian version yet). Then they came out with the Rivian version...
