  1. Rivian charging at a Tesla Supercharger

    All SC costs are listed at standard rate. The subscription discount comes off of the listed pricing.
  2. Rivian charging at a Tesla Supercharger

    Yep. IIRC, the pricing *does not* reflect the subscription price reduction. Scout out the possible SC stations because some are priced cheaper than others
  3. Rivian charging at a Tesla Supercharger

    Buying the monthly subscription from Tesla costs $12.99 and payoff is about 105kW. You can start and stop the subscription at any time. It is worth the money if you plan to use the SC at all. Tesla app is very informative
  4. Atlanta Service Center, What’s Going On?

    Iā€™ve had my T for 2.5 years and nearly 48k miles now and it has been to the ATL SC three times in that span. I have to say that my experience has been nothing but positive. However, Iā€™m very pleased that the Duncan, SC, center is now open. That 3 hour drive to the north side of ATL (and back) is...
  5. iOS App v2.18.0 and Android 2.18 Released

    New version refers to 2024.51 so we can probably expect updated vehicle software in 10-14 days. Updates (posted by @SadHill)
  6. Rivian charging at a Tesla Supercharger

    If at all possible, i choose the rightmost charger because i can charge without taking two spaces. Some SC locations have parking on both sides of the chargers which is handy.
  7. New Service Centers in the works for NC and SC…

    Duncan SC is showing as open on Rivian.com now. Mobile service tech confirmed that service appointments were being made for 2025. No offense, but good-bye to Atlanta. I wonā€™t miss that 3-hour slog down and back.
  8. My first-ever EV Road Trip! - Long post!

    First set of G1 R1T Q 21ā€ tires were driven many, many miles on conserve/lowest and said tires lasted all of 17.6k miles. Got new tires and an alignment at my local tire shop at the low setting. Second set of 21ā€ are at 42.6k miles after, again, many, many highway miles on conserve/low and they...
  9. Article: Charging The Electric Rivian R1S Was More Expensive Than Filling Up Some Notorious Gas Guzzlers

    The way I look at it is this: I specifically choose hotels with free charging and choose to spend my money there so the charge I get is probably included in the room rate. Like the "free" breakfast.
  10. Article: Charging The Electric Rivian R1S Was More Expensive Than Filling Up Some Notorious Gas Guzzlers

    Yep, I20 and I40 through there is a charging desert. (There are a few Tesla SC's scattered but they're mostly v2 and not useable for us.) FYI, the I20 route is about 50 miles farther than using I65 and I65 has several useable SC's. The Crowne Plaza in Baton Rouge is about a full day's drive west...
  11. Article: Charging The Electric Rivian R1S Was More Expensive Than Filling Up Some Notorious Gas Guzzlers

    The charges at hotels aren't free because I'm renting the room with the understanding that I can plug in. And ... Ummm ... it isn't a scam to take advantage of a public offering.
  12. R1T Gen 1 Quad Large vs. Gen 2 Dual Max Pack: Efficiency and Charging Analysis

    I totally concur with your calculations and results. While my experience is almost totally anecdotal, My Gen1 Quad T is at least as economical (especially in conserve mode) as my Gen1 Dual S. Perhaps part of that is due to the difference in shape and size between the two vehicles but the bottom...
  13. Article: Charging The Electric Rivian R1S Was More Expensive Than Filling Up Some Notorious Gas Guzzlers

    I do the Asheville NC to San Antonio drive (I85-I65-I10 and back) at least a couple of times every year and with some judicious planning, it can be done at about 55-60% the ICE cost. Tip 1: always overnight at a hotel with free charging. Tip 2: some Tesla SC's are cheaper than others (e.g...
  14. Would you get a 24 quad R1T or 25 Dual large R1T...

    Plus 26kwh is the sweet spot. If you need the efficiency, use conserve mode. Fun fact: I drive a quad Gen1 T and my wife drives a dual Gen 1 S and as a general rule, the S struggles to match the Tā€™s efficiency for some reason.
  15. Out of Spec 10% Challenge of Gen2 R1T dual Max: Massively Negative!

    Iā€™m not so fixed on 400v Vs 800v as I am on wishing that the max 220kw could be held longer.
  16. Tesla owner considering R1S

    Moved from a MYLR to the 2024 R1S large pack (and I also own a 2022 R1T). Tesla range estimates cannot be taken seriously and fall into the ā€œmere suggestionā€ realm. Both Rivian range estimates are nearly spot on almost every single time. With the SC opened up, the Rivian is the winner hands down.
  17. Tires completely worn out at 10,000 km

    Take your vehicle to a local tire shop and have the alignment checked at the height that you normally drive it. Mine is all purpose and low. My first set of 21 inch tires lasted 17,000 miles and then I got the alignment and my second set will last twice as long. Just so you will know, different...
  18. Tesla Supercharger Charging Speed

    Not my experience. Screenshot taken during a Tesla SC session today.
  19. Rivian R1T praise - Hurricane Helene Experience

    Shoot, instead of the V2 H capability I would settle for an increase in the 1500 W total maximum output of the receptacles
