Since the last update, our dear Opal (our R1T) has been set to "hoot" upon locking both day and night. Last night when we arrived home, we were still on the driveway, she performed her locking "hoot". This was immediately answered by another hoot that was not from a Rivian. Using my key fob, I...

We are looking for recommendations on purchasing a Level 2 wall charger. Our son and his wife are building a new house that is nearing completion. They have a Jeep plug-in hybrid and a Subaru BEV. They live close-by and have been using our Rivian wall charger on a regular basis. They have wired...

Since taking delivery of Opal (our R1T), we have had the same phones. We have been using two Samsung Note 20 Ultras. They have remained interfaced with Opal and have not caused any major issues. We have just ordered new phones. We are getting two Samsung S24 Ultras in a few days. Is there...

Opal (our R1T) has a new trick that she has been performing. When her steering wheel adjusts toward or away from the dash, it makes a rather loud and quite authentic flatuent sound. This behavior started a couple of weeks ago. I was hoping that it would go away on its own, but doesn't seem to...

As I have been doing for years, I occasionally go onto the The Rivian Website to review the items in the Gear Shop. On a recent visit, I saw a number of clothing items bearing a logo that I had not noticed before. These items bore a yellow pennant flag with the word 'Pilgrim' on it and below...

The finish on the lower spokes of my R1T steering wheel are starting to peel. My R1T is a year and a half old and has 10,000 miles on it. The finish in this area of the steering wheel is not very dureable. Have others experienced this issue and what have you done about it? I don't see any way...

I really like the Owl locking sound and the accompanying Green Flash. I am glad to hear that these features may stay with us. Is there any way to increase the volume of the locking sound? If not, there should be. Brian

Some things bother me that probably shouldn't. From new, Opal's R1T badge on her tailgate has been about 2° off from plumb. I know it's not much. But it just looks sloppy. Is there an easy way to remove the badge and put it back on properly? Brian

I was wondering what is the time frame that it takes Rivian to send out its OTA updates to all of its vehicles. I have received upates in as short of a couple of days when they start sending it out to over two weeks. There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason to their system. Brian

We have had Opal (our R1T) for a year and a half now. We have been using Opal's garage door opener function since the beginning. It has worked flawlessly until the .31 update. We really appreciate the fact that Opal can handle up to sixteen garage door openers. Between our house, gates, and...

As Rivian will be starting to produce new vehicles with NACS outlets for charging, will the new RAN charging stations be fitted with NACS plugs? Brian

We have had Opal (our R1T) for a year and a half now. We have used her navigation feature on a regular basis. Starting a couple of days ago she no longer provided us with verbal instructions as she had always done in the past. I checked the volume and every thing seems to be in order. Is there a...

While doing some EV research, I came across a new European city EV that really peaked my interest. It is Microlino which is produced by a Swiss company in Italy. The Micolino in a very well done EV replication of a 1950's BMW Isetta. The styling cues are excellent. Having owned a 1958 BMW...

Today I received my A2Z adapter. On reading the instructions that came with it. The instructions say to: - Fully insert your adapter into the vehicle. - Fully insert the the NACS charging handle into the adapter. I had been under the impression that the NACS plug should be put into the...

I decided to go ahead and sign up for Connect+. I signed Opal (our R1T) up for the annual program on the Rivian Website. I decided to give it a year and see if it's something that I want to stay with. What I look forward to most is Google Cast and YouTube feature. I really hope that these...

I am seeing so many trucks with a row of amber grill lights. I think that they look really good and are a safety addition. Has anyone installed these on a Rivian yet? If so, I would love to see the application. Brian

I have just been researching information on battery life on Opal (our R1T), and the best ways to extend overall battery life. I am seeing different information for the different battery chemistries (types). I think that Opal's battery is an NMC type, but I am not sure. Opal was produced in March...

As many know, Gas Buddy is a smartphone app that gives you the price of gasoline or Diesel at fueling stations in a specific area. Is there a similar app for EVers that provides information on kHw cost at a specific EV charging facility? Brian

Is there a way to get the charging history to show on more than one smartphone? SuEllyn is Opal's primary owner. Her charging history shows on SuEllyn's phone, but will not come up on mine. Brian

Color me dumb. What exactly does this 60 day trial include? Is there anything in there that we have to have? Is there anything in there that is crucial to the operation of the vehicle? Does the 60 day trial begin upon downloading the .27 update, or does it begin when you are first offered the...
