Just a quickie: we're about to get hit with the first significant snow since getting the R1T. (Not super-serious: should be about a foot of snow with, maybe, a bit of freezing rain. Certainly nothing compared to what folks in Buffalo have posted!) I'm just curious if people have any meaningful...

Maybe I missed a thread somewhere: is Rivian taking over and rebranding Tesla charger locations? We were passing through Columbia, MO last night and charged at a Rivian RAN location that I'm almost certain wasn't there the last time we came that way (a couple of months ago) and that I'm...

I'm glad there's an "off-topic" board on this site as this is _way_ off topic--but I think there are some people on this forum who can provide a very valuable perspective. I'm building a home flight simulator cockpit, powered by an XBox Series X running MS Flight Simulator 2024 (which gets...

I'm currently arranging a trip to Seattle for an event in August. Yeah, it's way early, but hotel rooms are going fast and finding a place to park my R1T may influence my choice of hotels. I'll be very close to the Seattle Convention Center-Summit. The lots I've looked at so far don't accept...

A few days ago, we raised the R1T all the way up ("rock crawl") to get under it. (Unrelated: damn! that's an impressive gain in ground clearance!) While it was in the air, we noticed signs of a mis-assembly in the front, driver's side wheel well. It's hard to communicate with pictures, but I've...

My R1T has been in a (Rivian certified) body shop for a bit. They're repairing a rear panel dent (don't ask--I was an idiot; will post the story one of these days) and a windshield crack (the usual: some random stone chipped it and the crack propagated before I even noticed it--it was almost a...

Apologies if this is a long-beaten topic--I couldn't find any previous discussions on it, but I may have missed something. I've just acquired a Yakima RTT for my R1T (photos etc. forthcoming--once I get it installed). We'll be inaugurating it out at a friend's property when he heads out on his...

I have not read the bill itself, only a couple of news articles about this, so I'm not completely confident that I know the reality or scope of the new law. But here's one article to start the ball rolling...

Martha Stewart appeared on CNBC's "Squawk Box" this morning from Paris. Just one sentence out of her interview, but a good one, she stated that she's getting an R1T and that she "love the whole thing"--shape, color, etc. and that the Cybertruck is "just too crazy." It was a nice little plug for...

Just sharing an observation. Took the dog out for a drive in the R1T today and stopped at a fruit stand to buy some peaches. Several people arrived shortly after us, riding electric bicycles. They immediately gravitated to the truck and we chatted. It was a repeat of a conversation I've had many...

Maybe one of you wise folks has a helpful suggestion: we took delivery of our R1T in Virginia and drove it home to Illinois almost a month ago. When we took delivery, the folks in Richmond did all the paperwork for the vehicle to be registered and titled in IL and attached a VA temporary tag to...

Yeah, I can do the experiment myself, but figured I'd ask: does anyone know if the windows lock when "Pet Comfort Mode" is engaged? My dog (sweet little hellspawn that she is) figured out how to open the windows within seconds of her first trip in the R1T. I _love_ that I can take her places in...

Okay, in the Great Scheme of Things, this is pretty insignificant, but I still need to call Rivian out on this one: I ordered a touchup pen (in lovely Compass Yellow) from the Gear Shop. It arrived yesterday, delivered by the nice man in the big brown truck (the UPS drivers around here are...

I'm kind of obsessive about tracking my finances using Quicken. (Which is one reason I have the wherewithal to buy a new Rivian.) I'd like to track charging expenses as a separate category and am curious about how others are doing this. The easiest way is just to use "auto: fuel" and then use a...

Took Ada out for her first ride in Ms. Frizzle. It took her about thirty seconds to figure out that she could open the window by stepping on the armrest! I'll need to figure out how to use the window locks. The Team 1EV Pet Deck worked out great, but I can see why they also sell brackets to keep...

Got a Lyft scheduled to take us to the airport at 1:30. Fly to Richmond (staying at a motel down the block from a Waffle House, so I know what's for dinner--it involves the words "scattered, smothered, and covered"). The nice folks at the Richmond SC are going to fetch us tomorrow morning so we...

When I ordered a Cybertruck back in January of 2020, I was super excited about it! All the promises (including the very attractive price for the dual-motor model) were terrific. And, while I know many people feel exactly the opposite, I loved the aesthetics (I still do--we all have different...

Since I get the impression that this forum has a disproportionate population of nerds, I figure it's worth asking if any of you will be attending the World Science Fiction Convention (AKA "Worldcon") in Glasgow, Scotland this summer? If so, let's get a beer!

Well, I figured my smooth purchase process couldn't last, but I still had hopes! We literally just sold our old truck (2003 Mazda B4000 with 112k miles and a metric buttload of rust) yesterday and came home from the bank where we'd met with the buyer when I got a text from my "guide" in Virginia...

It's been less than two weeks since our test drive and only about ten days since we signed the contract on our R1T, but everyone who has heard about it is abuzz. I've had _many_ requests for rides and/or test drives from friends and neighbors (assisted, I am sure, by the presence of our current...
