For us Gen1 owners with key fobs, the Owner's Manual recommends a specific brand: I just bought 10 of Murata (previously Sony) CR2450's on Amazon, so if you're in the area and ever need a fob battery please let me know and I'm happy to give you one. I'm not interested in shipping lithium...

We're in NYC for a couple of days staying in an apartment on 57th street to which we have access. It's in a beautiful pre-war building with a working fireplace (replaced with gas logs) and amazing woodwork throughout. The downside to the beauty and age is that the building has binary climate...

...by being a little less neurotic about accident avoidance, I'm sure one of the crazy drivers here would total your car within a week! As my 83 year-old father continues to become less young, I have the opportunity to leave Amish country and spend more time with him in Reston. Although...

This was the scene at the RAN in Moosic, PA on the Sunday after Thanksgiving: There are 6 Tesla chargers next to 6 Rivian chargers. All of the Tesla chargers were occupied when we pulled in and the RAN chargers were empty. I picked the next-to-last RAN (the last is marked handicapped) to be...

For anyone one the fence, Blackstone is currently offering their E-Series 22" electric griddle for just $199. I have it and it works really well with the Rivian. I use a Bluetti AC180 as a "buffer" to keep from overloading the Rivian's 1500W limit, but I've learned that you can pretty easily...

Yesterday we went to the Penn State - Ohio State game. It's 124 miles away from home so, with my 273 mile max range, charging is a requirement. We charged to 96% before heading out and arrived with 42%. When we parked I turned on the outlets and made good use of them to cook breakfast on my...

Here's my use case...Tailgating at Penn State. We typically go for the full day and it's nice to have a TV on to watch other games while we celebrate. My initial thought was to simply connect my TV to the Rivian's hotspot and watch the games that way, but my fear is reliable internet access...

Here's my use case...For camping and tailgating, I'd like to be able to use the following devices at full power at the same time without worrying about the 1,500W Rivian limit: Blackstone Electric Griddle (1,600W) Single Induction Burner (1,800W) Portable compressor cooler/freezer (60W) TV (Not...

So - this weekend we're at a VRBO on Long Beach Island (LBI), NJ. There aren't any L3 chargers on the island, so I emailed the owner and asked if I could plug in and charge my EV at the house - they said "Sure - go ahead." I made sure I had my complete "VRBO Kit" (50' 14-50 extension cord and...

The summer camp my daughters attend is putting in a large solar array (costing around $900K) and a couple of us EV users want to donate EV chargers for the camp to install near the visitor center. What suggestions do you have so I can give them an idea of the cost of the chargers? Ideally...

Which gauge do people like for checking tread depth? There are a lot of options out there and I just want something that works easily. Thanks!

We bought our R1S last August and I'm getting ready to renew our registration. I knew from @Zoidz that PA was looking at either a fixed annual EV fee or a mileage-based charge, so I thought I'd do a little digging on my own to see where it stood. Here's what I found from July 10 (full article...

We've had the update with the blind spot video appearing when you use your directional for a couple of days now. I've never had anything more than a yellow light in my outside mirrors before and I really like this update. What I don't like about it is seeing the video when I'm driving around...

I grew up with my grandparents reminding me that if I'm prepared for the worst it's less likely to happen and, if it does happen, I'll be better prepared. This thread was "inspired" by an earlier thread: Totaled R1T I love our QM R1S and put together the list below of things I'd like to...

I did a quick trip to the grocery store and used my cameras when I parked. When I got back in my car 15 minutes later, I saw this: I went old school and actually looked over my shoulder to back out of my space (the horror) and drove home, not wanting the ice cream to melt. Once home, as I've...

I was poking around today and stumbled on Hardsider.com - RTT's with different R1S's featured in their photos: I hadn't seen anything like this posted in the forum before.

On our way back from Erie to Lancaster (PA) this past Sunday, two deer were on I-80 as I was cruising along at 79 mph. Okay - not unusual in this part of the state and I was definitely on the lookout for them. I slowed down to 40 mph and let them cross the interstate and run up into the woods...

I keep a headlamp in each car for emergencies. I went to put on in our R1S and remembered that I have a flashlight already. Murphy's Law tells me that when I really need the flashlight I'm going to need both hands also and I'm over holding a flashlight in my mouth. I found the Nite Ize...

For all of you who mocked the camp speaker (says the guy who has yet to use his after 7 months of ownership), Toyota thought it was a good idea: Imitation is the highest form of flattery...

After 5 months of owning our R1S I decided to pull the 256GB SSD and take a look at a trip we took on Saturday morning. I was doing this primarily to confirm it was working and that I could view the files on my computer (but I did want to check one thing - see below). Here's what I learned...
