    Finally saw an ID Buzz

    I was in Denmark over New Yearā€™s and saw many of them in and around Copenhagen. I understand the Euro version is only two rows and I assume shorter, but has the same battery. Too bad the U.S. version couldnā€™t have more battery and thus range - for many people the range will be an obstacle, even...

    Dashboard phone charger/mount by TWRAPS (left of the steering wheel)

    Nice job - that clamp and location look really good. I usually just leave my phone down on the StowNCharge I put in my R1S but Iā€™m tempted to add this. Kind of a tangential question, but do OBD ports usually deliver power continuously or only when the car is on? Just got an idea for how to...

    Charging locations along 93

    I looked it up on PlugShare, looks like Ford Lightning and a Bolt have successfully charged there. Use the far right charger (3D) so you donā€™t block an extra space. Concord Crossing 11 Merchants Way, Concord, NH 03301, USA https://www.plugshare.com/location/362463 I havenā€™t been out to the car...

    Supply Chain Issues at Rivian for Auto Body Repair

    I'm surprised this is still a challenge, as they've been at this a few years now and should have had time to produce spare parts while vehicle production was constrained due to the 3Q motor windings snafu. I've owned Teslas for 12 years and had a few fender-benders along the way. All but one...

    PA to VT NYE Ski Run

    Last year I did a Sunapee day trip in our Model Y. We stopped briefly at the Hooksett supercharger on the way early, mainly to get coffee and apple cider donuts. I canā€™t remember if we charged on the way back to Boston - if so it was primarily to use the Hooksett facilities. Iā€™ve gone up and...

    Tesla Charger Compatibiltiy

    Iā€™ve been using a Gen 1 Tesla Wall Connector (not called a charger, per the comment above) with my 2023 R1S for 18 months with the Teslatap Mini adapter with zero issues. Itā€™s not cheap, but I think itā€™s the best made and most rugged adapter available. Iā€™ve used it on a Tesla mobile connector as...

    PA to VT NYE Ski Run

    Thanks for the positive post - and the info about Happy Dumpling! I drive from Boston area up 89 to Eastern Adirondacks regularly and stop at the RAN, Iā€™ll try some dumplings next time. The Superchargers on I-89 are nearly all V2 so getting the West Leb RAN last year was key. Iā€™d like a RAN...

    Wall Charger - Tesla or Rivian ?

    I would go with the Tesla Universal Wall Connector, or any highly recommended wall mount charger. Maybe I havenā€™t read enough about it, but I donā€™t see the benefit of the Rivian wall charger over anyone elseā€™s, especially at nearly twice the price and when youā€™re operating in a multiple-car...

    Rivian Christmas Lights!

    Hereā€™s another R1 with holiday lights - I leave the outlet on for a few hours every evening as part of the house decorations. I like the new auto-on setting so the lights are on whenever Iā€™m driving.

    R2 and R3X are at new Boston Rivian Space

    I think he meant the base or standard config of the R2.

    Canton MA Service Center

    That will definitely improve access for people to the west and south, and alleviate the backlog wait in Chelsea for those in/near Boston and to the north. Hopefully part of significant planned expansion before the R2 starts shipping. Thanks for finding and sharing.

    Any 2nd owners receive NACS adapter?

    I bought my June 2023 R1S with 450 miles on it a month after the original owner took delivery. Transferred ownership in Rivianā€™s system as soon as I got it registered. They sent me the opt-in email in April, then the shipping address email in early October iirc. Got it a couple weeks later...

    Turn-by-turn nav dropdown missing since last update?

    Thanks. The first trip I tried after the reset worked - we'll see how it goes from here.

    Turn-by-turn nav dropdown missing since last update?

    I noticed the same thing. Itā€™s not a removed feature, itā€™s clearly a bug. It happens on my 2023 R1S intermittently - sometimes the drop down is there as usual, sometimes it isnā€™t, and sometimes it corrects itself and goes back to normal during a route. Because I donā€™t always look at or need it...

    Finally saw an ID Buzz

    I spotted one with Michigan manufacturer plates in a driveway in Cambridge, MA a couple weeks ago. There was an ID.4 parked out front, so I think it may have been an overnight test drive for a current VW EV owner. Havenā€™t seen it since. It was dark and I didnā€™t want to prowl around their...

    R1T windshield replacement cost.

    I paid $1835 before sales tax for a replacement and calibration at an authorized collision place - reimbursed by my insurer. I first booked at the nearest Safelite for chip filling but when I went out to the garage the next morning it had turned into a crack (in July, no preheating or cooling...

    Is the NACS adapter safe to use with a Tesla wall charger?

    I've had the TeslaTap Mini 80A (http://www.umc-j1772.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=17&product_id=160) for almost a year and a half, and it's been great. Nice and compact - I keep it in the driver's door. The 60A is good enough for the R1s, but I have an early Tesla wall connector on...

    Feeling better now that I have ordered an R1S and can sell the Elon [LOCKED and BANS due to POLITICS]

    After ten years of Teslas and Superchargers, I was prepared for a major setback when I got my R1S in mid-2023. And it was, for the first 9 months or so - older EA stations with only 4 plugs, one of which was broken or Chademo only, chargers needing a call to be rebooted, etc. I couldn't wait for...

    Does Apple Music work for anyone with Connect+ right now?

    My mid-2023 R1S w/Rivian audio is sounding great with Apple Music, Atmos or regular, after I tuned to the settings someone with audio lab equipment posted here (can't remember name, but thank you). One minor issue, one mid-level, and one that really needs attention: 1) Occasionally it...
