  1. Mammoth / US 395 Driving Assist gaps

    The consolation is that driving (in the active, full-engagement sense) on 395 can be one of lifeā€™s great pleasures, and it can be truly appreciated in a Rivian.
  2. Ford Says Large Electric Trucks And SUVs Have 'Unresolvable' Problems

    ā€œFor larger retailā€¦ economics are unsolvable.ā€ Amazon (famously first customers of the Rivian EDV) seem to make it work for them.
  3. Terribly confused/frustrated with charging schedule— can I really only have one schedule?

    You could set a schedule on the Chargepoint charger, and use the schedule on the car for the other one.
  4. Reminiscence: Photos of Rivian R1T Prototypes in the Documentary, "Long Way Up" (2020)

    That series was a big part of the inspiration for us to make our pre-order.
  5. Out of Spec in China testing new battery 10-80% on 75kWh in under 10 minutes

    Meanwhile, Iā€™ve learned how to embrace longer charges by considering the charging station as a mini-destination. Plug in, find somewhere to have a pee, take the dog for a walk, buy a coffeeā€¦ The car is charged by the time I get back to it, and the process has cost me no dead time at all. The...
  6. Good Rivian Exposure in new Hulu Series - Paradise

    Nice to chuckle my way through a light-hearted thread rather than reading some rant based on the paranoid assumption that Rivian is out to deceive us with some dastardly conspiracy.
  7. New Atomic Wheels AWZZ on my R1S

    Range was a consideration, both in buying these lightweight rims and in selecting the 33ā€ diameter tires vs the OEM 34ā€ tires. (I moved to this setup from 21ā€ road wheels.) I was expecting some range hit with these softer snow tires. All that said, Iā€™ve never really paid too much attention to...
  8. Front License Plate Mounting Options -- A Summary

    Youā€™re going to get a ticket if you park in San Francisco with no license plate.
  9. TPMS: How is it suppose to function?

    Just because something doesnā€™t work the way you expect it to doesnā€™t make it terrible.
  10. Extreme cold weather driving report - 2022 R1T Quad

    Dude from Manitoba steps in to comment on whatā€˜s mild and whatā€™s cold. Everybody else shuts up.
  11. New Atomic Wheels AWZZ on my R1S

    My stock 21s were running threadbare by the time we returned from our ~6,000-mile road trip from the Left Coast to the South Coast (Houston, Tejas) and anyway I wanted new snow shoes for pottering around in the Sierra Nevada this winter. That was my excuse, anyway, for getting a set of Atomic...
  12. Heads up display in Rivians future?

    HUD is good in principle. In my experience thoughā€“I have it in my Audi e-tronā€“itā€™s less useful than expected because itā€™s almost invisible when driving in polarized sunglasses, which I use for daytime driving.
  13. New York City in an EV-Only World

    On the rare occasions when my typical curmudgeonly mode is not fully engaged and I find myself in traffic alongside some hugely noisy vehicle I chuckle a little and tut ā€œsilly boyā€ to myself. There he is, with engine struggling mightily, while achieving no more than me as I glide silently along...
  14. New York City in an EV-Only World

    The reason is paranoia. Iā€™m talking about neighborhoods my family has lived in for 30 and 25 years respectively. They were safe, harmonious, and middle class when we moved in and If anything, theyā€™ve grown safer and become more prosperous in that time. 20-30 years ago the fad was for car alarms...
  15. New York City in an EV-Only World

    Let EVs get rid of noise pollution (or at least reduce it greatly). The next campaign needs to be against light pollution. Why does it seem that everyone is installing these obnoxious exterior lights, activated by the motion of me walking on the other side of the street? I want to see the...
  16. Has your phantom vampire drain significantly improved with 2024.47.x software update?

    Merry Christmas, all. My campaign against abbreviations continues, with the admonition that VD is a particularly unfortunate one. Whatā€™s the cure for VD? Antibiotics. Unless itā€™s herpes. Whatā€™s the difference between love and herpes? Herpes lasts forever.
  17. R1S shifts to park when backing trailer

    As others have said, itā€™s when you lift your butt off the seat. What I do is to crank my seat up as high as possible before my head hits the roof and my knees get stuck under the wheel. That seems to do the trick while youā€™re backing up, and then you can just hit ā€œRestoreā€ (seat position) when...
  18. Winch attached to R1T trailer hitch

    DrBad, good answer re the 12V circuit. My next question was similar to Mathmeā€™s. Get a 120V AC one (designed for a garage) and plug that into the 120V outlet in the Rivian. But can a winch designed for a garage fit on to a trailer hitch adapter and is it suitable for off-road winching...
