    Rivian just raised RAN pricing 47% over President’s Day weekend 2025

    The operational costs include things like oil changes, tuneups, brake pad changes, all of which also take your time and money for ICE but are non-existent (or almost non-existent for brake pads), and can be calculated into the price per mile. I save way more time charging at home than I spend...

    Rumor of new battery size: Large+

    Given the option to go from Large to Max at purchase is $7K, that seems unlikely. May as well say ā€œwhat if itā€™s $20k, or $30k?ā€ Nonetheless, having the option still beats not having the option, and right now Rivian does not have the option. Every time Iā€™ve ever made an inquiry about my Large+...

    Rivian, give me a SoC gauge option

    My wife's Audi Q8 has a instrument cluster display like this, and I surprisingly found it to be less helpful than I'd hoped. I guess it just depends on personal preference, and hard to say whether it would be more or less helpful to someone new to EVs, but just having 4 dashes for 100%, 75, 50...

    Rivian now charging $.68 per kwh

    Or the more commonly used across all types of vehicles, cents-per-mile.

    A2Z NACS extension cable for supercharging (and AC)

    "deliberately mis-stating" is also putting words in one's mouth, no? Or at the very least, intent. Looking at your first post in this thread, we can infer you may have "deliberately" mis-stated a few things, too. "waste", "give me this crap" (it's a public forum, not directed at you), "designed...

    A2Z NACS extension cable for supercharging (and AC)

    Well-put.. some people just don't think things through when knee-jerking with their snark.

    2024.51.0 spotted

    Iā€™ve been monitoring my DCFC sessions. And itā€™s such a mixed bag already because there are so many variables that affect how speedy a session can be. That said, my first DCFC after the last update I saw my charge speed from 82 to 88 SOC stay above 100kw. Iā€™ve never once gotten above 100 after 82...

    Gen 2 DM Large Pack reliability

    We got ours in Sept. Dual Large+. We have already driven it over 13k miles. There are a couple of things I would likely want to schedule a service visit to take care of but Iā€™ve been avoiding it. They arenā€™t critical - or at least appear to not be. Wind noise in the front left and right...

    Screen mirror your iPhone to Rivian display - via Replica App

    If you sincerely think that: 70s: Trying to figure out which track of my 8-track has Aqualung on it, no wait, thatā€™s not it, maybe itā€™s a different one, or trying to dial in AM790 because it keeps on getting static but the dial usually has a perfect sweet spot and I know Iā€™ll find it 80s: fast...

    UPDATE - OpenSource EV Ultimate MageSafe Charging Pad V2

    Thanks! Iā€™ve replied back with some pictures. Iā€™m glad to do anything else to help, including sending my OEM charging mat if you like.

    UPDATE - OpenSource EV Ultimate MageSafe Charging Pad V2

    I got my 2.1 pad today, but the wiring harness is a different connector from my Gen 2 R1S. Iā€™m not sure if I should start cutting wires and splicing it(thereby cutting off the OEM connector in the process) or if OpenSource EV may have sent me a version with the wrong connector. Iā€™ve reached out...

    Article: Charging The Electric Rivian R1S Was More Expensive Than Filling Up Some Notorious Gas Guzzlers

    But isn't that, too, comparing apples to oranges? When I plot out a road trip via gas or EV, I'm not concerned with national averages, I'm concerned with averages on *that* trip. The same with electricity prices. If the average per kwh is $0.35 in my area, it doesn't matter that it's $0.12...

    Under-seat front cubby gone from new builds

    Yeah if they really want to cut costs, the glass roof that I already have covered by a liner is a great place to start.

    Under-seat front cubby gone from new builds

    Flip that on its head... keeping that cubby is really going to send the company into a tailspin. Wow. / s The ridiculous over-apologizing for this company boggles the mind. The company makes a product, and has regularly slashed features from that product. Scrutinize and question change...

    Efficiency Questions M/KWH

    This was one ā€œtankā€ of normal driving for me. It consists of two days commuting to work at 80 miles total each day, and the rest around town for errands and kid stuff. I regularly see these types of numbers, though because we also take our R1S on long road trips. the lifetime mi/kwh is about...

    First Real Snow Day in the Gen 2 R1S

    Iā€™ve thought about cheap steel wheels and snow tires, but weā€™re just not in this area at this time of year often enough to warrant it. Most other anecdotal reports Iā€™ve read from owners on Sport All-Seasons suggests good results. I also had good results up here with my old Cayenne on...

    First Real Snow Day in the Gen 2 R1S

    At our place in Utah and itā€™s been off and on dumping snow. The R1S seems at home here and has done great. Weā€™re on 22ā€ Sports. Edit: The tires only have 9100 miles on them. So Iā€™m assuming if they somehow last until next winter my experience wonā€™t be quite as positive.

    Out of Spec 10% Challenge of Gen2 R1T dual Max: Massively Negative!

    Itā€™ll be interesting to see if the .43 update helps those estimates. From the very first time I ever charged my Gen 2 R1S the estimates have been out-of-whack. Telling me Iā€™ll get from 6 to 100% on my 40A (50A) L2 charger in 6 hours? DCFCs are a bit of a different kettle of fish because any...

    Gen2 Dual Max Impressions from a 2020 Model Y owner

    Yeah this is quite annoying, or it seems like the settings it does remember may not be the settings I Saved at. I find I need to switch to my wife's driver profile and then back to mine again, probably every 2 or 3 times I drive the car.

    How many different RAN Stations have you visited?

    Ha! That's pretty cool. My list is 3. Las Vegas, which I love because of that amazing mall. Barstow, and Grand Junction.
