    Rivian Service Fails To Repair

    You're lucky to get that many miles out of the sport tires if you're an aggressive driver.

    Really thought I would be one of the lucky ones.

    Madison Heights has generally been a week/week and a half out for the last eight months. Irrelevant to the OP though, and you know that.

    Really thought I would be one of the lucky ones.

    Probably shouldn't put ram wheels on, since they make the tire stick too far out.

    Motortrend Gen2 2025 R1T Tri Max Review

    I've had my truck get seriously upset about stall only once. I was reversing straight up an ~18" rock that the front wheel had to go over after floating in the air, trying to go slow to not damage things. I don't recall exactly what the message was, but it was something like drivetrain failure...

    Edmunds' 2025 Gen2 R1T Dual Motor vs. Tacoma TRD Pro Off-Road Comparison

    Highest mode isn't the best for articulation, more meant for instances where you actually need the clearance. I suspect on the dual motor, that you need to manually provide the brake torque for situations where you're just barely moving. If I were trying to get my quad up this rock at such a low...

    Report: NACS adapters will stop being free for new Rivian purchases starting later this month - per RivianTrackr

    Was literally off to ask Rivian why they haven't sent my second NACS adapter yet, when I decided to check my order history instead of being an asshole. Lo' and behold, I have a shipment for my second NACS adapter order pending in my account. The very interesting thing about this though, the...

    Driver+/Autonomy cannot be trusted in heavy traffic – just got into an accident with a slow merging truck

    RIP. Hope you waited to post this until after your insurance co paid out.

    Motortrend Gen2 2025 R1T Tri Max Review

    My Gen1 isn't consistent here. Occasionally I'll get an exceptionally hard launch, but it's never when I'm doing the hard brake/hard accel thing. Somehow the computer is tricked into going immediately to 100% versus the quick ramp to it, have not been able to do it repeatably. First few times, I...

    Battery temp of 15°F now appears to be where Rivian stops aggressively heating the battery

    Set my climate timers in the app for this morning, and my cabin was a blistery 21 F when I got into it. Not sure why it didn't kick heating off at all, but I know others have complained about schedules not taking when done from the app before. Battery was still in the low 40s after the long...

    Keep R1T After Warranty or buy new one

    You can put a lot of money into a vehicle before it makes financial sense to replace it.

    Cybertruck Laugh of the Day

    No-one could have seen this coming, but maybe that guy carrying the spare wiper was on to something. Store it in the heated cabin, swap it with the non-working one at the start of every drive.

    Battery temp of 15°F now appears to be where Rivian stops aggressively heating the battery

    I'm hoping to test this out some point this winter as well. My thought is to slap some heating pads (like engine block style) on the bottom of the pack, set to heat to 90F or so. Will take a very long time to heat through the protective underbody sandwich, not entirely sure it'll work.

    Battery temp of 15°F now appears to be where Rivian stops aggressively heating the battery

    Oh, for sure it's disadvantageous for range to heat the pack from energy in the battery. I'd typically rather have full regen/power than the extra range on a day-to-day basis. I know others don't like seeing the efficiency so poor for so long, and if you actually need the range, it definitely...

    Battery temp of 15°F now appears to be where Rivian stops aggressively heating the battery

    They definitely are not warming until "full performance" as stated in the article, though. It did used to be closer to that originally versus what I observed today. I suspect that's why the behavior seems to have changed a little. I imagine this change is at least partially responsible for the...

    how to turn off interior accent lights when camping?

    I think anything we can do with settings that changes some physical thing inside or outside the vehicle should be available in the phone app.

    Battery temp of 15°F now appears to be where Rivian stops aggressively heating the battery

    It's also the threshold for completely disallowing regenerative braking. Last winter it seems like Rivian would always aggressively heat a cold battery until it reached 50F, unless you had regen braking assist turned on (I don't typically use it, so I don't have the historical data of when/if...

    TPMS: How is it suppose to function?

    This is the problem with basically all technology. People become dependent on it, and aren't able to function without it. One of the biggest reasons I don't like these half-baked "self driving" assists. Once conditions degrade enough, they dump the responsibility back to the user, who is now...
