  1. New Trenton Service Center

    I was in for service and the rep said he expects it'll be open in July. 👏
  2. Wishlist of small things that Rivian can improve (that bug you)

    How about updating the efficiency graph to not cap out at 4. Also change the display so it doesn't imply efficiency over 2 is good (green) and below poor (gray). It should be relative to either your lifetime efficiency, the EPA target efficiency, or some other more logical benchmark. The...

    They have their own pucks and knew what they were doing or you brought?

    Any central NJ folks have recommendations on where you've gone for a tire rotation?
  6. Input on 14-50 outlet install

    I have two 14-50s installed for our 2 EVs. Both are Hubbell, industrial grade. One has a GFCI (installed in 2024) and the other does not (installed 2021). I thought I could live with occasional nuisance tripping but of late, the outlet has become useless. With the 100 degree weather in the NE...
  7. JuiceBox (Enel X Way USA LLC) shutting down business in North America

    I love how they blame it on market conditions. JuiceBox was a market leader for smart EVSEs but their demise is self-induced. Software and customer support have tanked. It's amazing how far they've gone downhill since I bought my JB in '21. A bummer nonetheless.

    Welcome to the club. I also used Princeton Electrical Makeover and would recommend. What's your utility? If PSE&G, they'll pay for your install (up to $1500) and offer off-peak charging credits of roughly $0.10/kWh...
  9. First oddity/glitch since ownership

    Likely unrelated but oddly coincidental, the loaner I have started charging outside it's charge window yesterday as well. The schedule is set on my ChargePoint, which I don't think has ever done this before.
  10. Brand new R1S is DEAD

    Thanks @Riv E In I stumbled upon your thread as I got the system fault, battery issue, turtle mode errors back on the 7th. I haven't been able to speak with the service center (was abroad the 8th-15th) but got a VM that it was an issue with the contactors and the HV battery pack needed to be...
  11. Vampire drain - what's the latest battery % loss people are getting?

    Another data point from a large pack R1S.... I was away for 16 days. Charged to 80% the night before leaving (79% displayed). Returned to 61% and recharged back up to 80% using 30.2 kWh, as reported by ChargePoint. The car was parked in our garage, plugged in with the charge setting dropped...
  12. I Spent Two Days With Gen-2 R1 Vehicles. Here’s My Thoughts as a Rivian Owner...

    Excellent write-up! Can someone enlighten me? If music options are moving to Connect+, is all we're left with FM and Bluetooth from our phone?
  13. Cheapest way to lease an R1S?

    I hate to burst your bubble but only the Large Pack R1S is eligible for the incentive and it's only $1k. The R1T has higher incentive values. https://rivian.com/offers/electric-upgrade-offer I too have a Highlander and Rivian's trade-in offer was incredibly low. I was better off selling...
  14. for those of you, we have been leasing for more than a month

    I have not and I wonder if the issues are related. Two weeks after delivery Rivian reached out that our odometer statement was rejected by the DMV. The paperwork signed at delivery only had a signature area for me. DMV required signatures by both myself and my wife (co-registrant). New...
  15. R1S ordering in NYS, available now???

    You lucked out. Mahwah is one of their pick-up centers. I took delivery there earlier in the month. Yes, all Rivians originate from Normal but they don't all sit there waiting to be paired to an owner. Enjoy the R1S once you get it. It shouldn't take long for them to swap wheels and get...
