  1. Question about using cruise control while towing

    Did that actually go away with gen 2? Because I absolutely can adjust the following distance with the right scrollwheel on my gen1 and use it all the time. (but not while towing)
  2. What time will orders open?

    Is the email here yet? Is it here yet? Is it here yet? My local SC is brand new and just opened a few weeks ago. Someone did an R1S test drive last week as was told they were getting 50 R2s this week. As a day 1 reservation holder and current owner I'm.....hopeful.
  3. XCARE Warranty. When to start it?

    One small detail to keep in mind is that there is a 30 day wait period from when you purchase the warranty and when it becomes active. It doesn't sound like a lot, but I had a hydraulic pump failure resulting in replacing the pump and all 4 dampers with less than 100 miles left on the OEM...
  4. Rivian V2H Technical First Look (Patent)

    https://www.marketbeat.com/instant-alerts/enphase-energy-unveils-ai-data-center-battery-and-ev-charging-roadmap-2026-05-16/ Preorders for the Enphase bidirectional charger to start in 3Q and deliveries in 4Q.
  5. Referral code

    Since the points are based on R1 specs does anyone know if the codes will work for R2s? I would guess the points might be lower with the lower prices, but hope the free charging stays the same.
  6. XCare Extended Warranty on Rivian: My Full Claim Experience (And Outcome)

    I think just the opposite. With the recent repair I had that was still just under the original warranty, xcare would have paid close to twice what the entire policy cost me on just one repair for the $100 deductible. Even a couple of more minor issues over the life of the policy would likely...
  7. Rivian V2H Technical First Look (Patent)

    Not saying they won't delay again, but their website has consistently said it will be available in second half 2026, and they have included that in their last few quarterly presentations. I would consider that the near future....if they stick to it this time. They have a list of utilities by...
  8. XCare Extended Warranty on Rivian: My Full Claim Experience (And Outcome)

    Well my service suspension soon warning was fixed with 19 miles to go to the original warranty of 60k miles. They said it was a pump failure, and since that could cause metal shavings to accumulate in all the dampers, they replaced all 4 and did a complete system flush and fluid replacement...
  9. R1 Brake Caliper Cleaning Recommendation

    So once they inspected and cleaned them, found out the front pads needed to be replaced. They were all 4 replaced along with new rotors under warranty about 1.5 years ago. He asked if I do a lot of towing, which I do. About 5k miles towing since they were last replaced, so I guess that will...
  10. R1 Brake Caliper Cleaning Recommendation

    My truck is currently at the SC for the last repair I'll get under warranty. (Made it by 19 miles). So I asked them what their recommendation was for the brake servicing. They recommended after every other winter season. Their quote was $210+tax.
  11. Battery pack SOH state of health data is coming in software update! (SOH, distance since last updated, max potential charge rate, current charge rate)

    I ran out of gas exactly one time around 20 years ago. I will soon be celebrating 30 years of marriage. My wife never ran out of gas. Although she hasn't mentioned it in a while now, I know that it is part of her ammo kit in a very deep arsenal that could resurface at any time without...
  12. R2 V2L Charging Adapter "Field Outlet" trademarked by Rivian

    I talked to my Enphase system installer about a bunch of stuff last week. She was really positive on what Franklin is doing with their equipment. And she verified their home batteries are absolutely compatible with Enphase based equipment and her company has personally installed them...
  13. XCare Extended Warranty on Rivian: My Full Claim Experience (And Outcome)

    Guess I should have known this, but there is a 30 day waiting period between when you purchase the warranty and when it kicks in. I'm about 19 miles from hitting 60k, so I'll have a brief window of crossing my fingers. Also, my truck is scheduled to be towed to the SC after I started to...
  14. R2 V2L Charging Adapter "Field Outlet" trademarked by Rivian

    https://enphase.com/download/iq-bidirectional-ev-charger-whitepaper All the info on Enphase's "soon" to be shipped bidirectional charger for those interested.
  15. R2 V2L Charging Adapter "Field Outlet" trademarked by Rivian

    I would be willing to make a large bet that Enphase starts selling their bidirectional charger long before Rivian does, since they have been consistent for the last few quarters saying it would start shipping 2nd half of this year. Of course that is after 2+ years of delays, but a lot of that...
