Iām sad to report we had a minor accident with my R1S on the Big Island of Hawaii over Labor Day weekend. My wife and I had enjoyed a resort day for my birthday. She was backing out of a parking spot at the resort and hit the concrete base of a light post. It was very slow speed as she was...
Just looking for some thoughts on this situation. I can honestly see both sides.
My R1S charge port was misaligned and scuffed up the driver's side headlight:
Rivian mobile service came out pretty quickly and re-aligned the door:
Rivian scheduled a service center visit to address the...
I was out of town for a little over a week. My Gen 1 2022 R1T Quad Large had auto-installed the latest update (custom interior lighting) while I was away. When I returned, I was able to drive the car as normally to work. However, when I was leaving work later that day the car would not shift out...
TLDR:
I hooked up a battery charger/maintainer to the 12V battery in my R1S and so far (3+ days) there has been no loss in SOC from the main battery pack.
I returned to the mainland on Friday (8/9/2024) and left my R1S garaged in Hawaii. It was set to charge to 70%, but dropped to 69% at some...
Just posting my experience RE: the NACS adapter being a multi-Rivian owner. I personally bought an R1T new in 9/2022; an R1S new in 7/2023, and a second R1S used in 12/2023.
I've heard different things, but the following is what I was just told.
- used R1S does NOT qualify for a free adapter...
Took my 2023 Gen 1 Quad Large R1S (named Pele) on what is literally called R1 Road (aka Mauna Kea Access Road; Kahinahina Rd) earlier today. Off shoot roads also include R2, R3, etc (up to R12 or 13?).
Incredibly appropriate road names!
Iāll add more notes later but just a TLDR for now:
-...
Last night noticed a very weird noise that appeared to be coming from the charge port area. Itās not quite a clicking noise but I canāt think of any other way to describe it. Vehicle was charging at home @ 11.2 kW at the time with no error alerts or other observable malfunction. However, the...
Was back up in Sedona last weekend with my R1T. From Phoenix drove to Schnebly Hill Road and I-17 and took Schnebly down into Sedona. Schnebly is a Jeep Badge of Honor Trail. It's not difficult. Just somewhat long at 11 miles and bumpy. However, the views are worth it.
Left Phoenix at 100%...
Was at the office today in my R1T. My wifeās R1S was at home since she telecommutes. Noticed the app indicated the R1S was at home.
Is this new? I donāt remember seeing this before - only the āsee your vehicleās current locationā option.
The OEM compressor hose can be a pain to roll up and get back in the bag. I gave the following air hose a shot. It worked well, is very light, recoils and is super easy to get back in the bag. This makes the air compressor so much more usable because Iād personally avoid using sometimes because...

In Sedona with my R1T this weekend. Was going to take an R1S but some folks backed out and we didnāt need the extra seats, so R1T it was.
Did Soliderās pass previously. Nice little trail. It was fun in the mud. Vultee Arch is a bit crowded in the first portion but farther back in was much less...
Another one (potentially) bites the dust?

In case anyone was wondering (and I wasn't expecting it to work), I just tried charging my brother's Polestar 2 at the newly opened Phoenix RAN and got the following message:
Was only curious because of what I observed during a RAN stop last month.
So just in case anyone else was curious...
I found this earlier posted on Reddit.
I'm not far from there, so I took a quick drive to take a few pictures. It's literally right next to the Tesla Supercharging station at Biltmore Fashion, which is a small, but higher end outdoor mall about 7 miles northeast of downtown Phoenix (for those...
Selling a BestEVMod R1S Trunk Mat. It's a nice item and does its job, but I ended up going with a full Canvasback option.
Photos are of the mat over my Canvasback covers.
$20 local pick up only in Phoenix, AZ. Shipping unfortunately won't make sense here due to large item size.
Selling a Grizzl-E Duo with 14-50 plug:
- comes with two 24-ft J1772 cables
- charges up to 40 amps/9.6 kW
- will charge two EV's simultaneously at 20 amps/4.8 kW
- only one circuit needed
- works perfectly; selling because I no longer need to charge 3 EV's in my carport.
- *Note of the holsters...
