Thanks for that link. It was a bit difficult to read with the ums and whatnot. I passed that text into chatgpt and out popped this "concise" version. Admittedly I deleted the raffle sales pitch and the salutation. It now reads fairly easily. Better yet was the "extract key points" feature. An...

I can't believe he drove the whole loop without stopping to do a hard reboot to get the driver+ back. I had the same issue the other day. The lane assist, collision avoidance, and one other indicator was going off and I could not set cruise control. I wasn't on a road allowing auto steer assist...

This was in Colorado and I do believe there are elk but I never saw one. I saw plenty of deer and one time some big horn sheep. They were blocking the road and I just waited for them to clear. I didn't want to make them mad and have one ram the truck. How do you explain that to the insurance...

They should copy Tesla's model (again). Charge a membership fee to non-Rivians to get "Rivian" rates, otherwise it is 10 cents/whatever more a kWh. I've checked areas I frequent and the new Rivian price seems to match the nearby Tesla supercharger rate (with membership).

Interestingly I charged at Flagstaff on the 6th for 36 cents/kWh and then a week later it was 44 cents. I looked in the car's nav and it still said 36 cents but the app did show the new price of 44 cents.

I do with the same philosophy and watch for deer along the side of the road. When headlights are coming at me, especially if they don't dim them, it makes watching for deer tough. In my case a car had just gone by and I didn't see it at all until it was in the opposite lane heading my direction...

Barely missed one myself last week. Missed it by inches with a lot of brakes and swerving. They seem suicidal.

I'm dealing with this myself right now. Reported the broken window yesterday. First Rivian SC appointment is February 14th. I have Safelite coming to my house on Saturday to replace the window but they say I still need Rivian to recalibrate. Maybe some Safelite locations can recalibrate but the...

ElectriFi does some Interesting / incorrect math when towing. The Rivian changes your rated range when towing which seems to mess up their math. Here is a segment towing my Alto A2124 camp trailer with my Dual Motor Max Pack. The parts that are true are circled in green, blue are due to using...

The trailer rated range isn't exactly what you'll be getting. Note it says you've averaged 1.37 miles / kWh towing the trailer so doing math, 142 * 1.37 = 194.5 miles. That's still better than your old X. We used to tow with an X and now to with a R1T PDM as well. Our towing range and math don't...

It was great. I've wanted to go to the Pumpkin Patch out in Anza-Borrego awhile now but finally have a capable vehicle to get out there -- and back.

One sad day I had to go to the Quartzsite Love's to charge my mother-in-laws Bolt. 4 Electrify America chargers, 3 working and one broken, and a 2 hour line for those working chargers. In our Tesla we'd use one of the 120 superchargers in Quartzsite. If in our Rivian we'd use one of the 6 RAN...

Hmm. I have a R1T PDM and when I step on it it scoots right along. I don't THINK I need to be in sports mode. Although if I am demoing the zip I usually do switch to sport mode. TBH I rarely do any of this. I appreciate the sand mode of the Performance. This I do use.

I use a Tesla mobile connector and an adapter to charge our R1T regularly. As soon as I plug in it turns red. Give it another 20 seconds and it turns white for a few seconds then green and starts charging. It does this every time. No need to unplug or anything -- just wait it out. I personally...

I used to tow our Alto A2124 with a 2017 Tesla X100D and switched to a 2023 Rivian R1T Dual Max Pack Performance the end of last year. With the X I kept speeds to 55 mph max for more range. We averaged about 520-540 wh/mile but hills, wind, and temperatures all impacted those results. I remember...

The way EV charging can be billed varies so much it is hard to compare anyway. Gas upon the USA is always $/Gallon. Electricity for EV charging may be $/kWh but can also be $/minute, a connection fee, a combination of any of these and that can vary over time. Quick, which is cheaper, charging...

I live in Arizona yet still see km on the charge history screen. Exactly how far away from Canada do I need to be?

I have experienced a derated supercharger several times. The strangest is at Santa Nella where they have about 50 V3 chargers. Last two times I've been there (I avoid it now) all superchargers except 10 have bags over them and the "working ones max out at 48 kw -- unless they are all busy and...

There are two places to exclude Tesla chargers. The filter on the map screen only hides them from view, not the router. To have the router ignore adapter required superchargers navigate to anywhere -- one destination only, and before pressing GO press the settings button right next to the GO...

I built a spreadsheet for this very purpose but couldn't get any input from anyone. The math is in there is someone wants to contribute. The sheet was for actually receiving the adapter but maybe we need another for the letter. It was also based on VIN not purchase date but they should corelate...
