FWIW, I have a subscription for my wife's MB - Actually sat connection. The subscription includes streaming which I used via my phone and BT in my past car no issue. I logged into the account via the RIVIAN app and it connected no problem with all my saved favorites. When I check online, I...
Probably not much variation to be had honestly. Rivian (And I suspect most vehicles based on PlugShare comments) cannot skip chargers in MUCH of these areas. You're basically hopping oasis to oasis.
You could change up the route from Lubbock to ABQ a little bit, perhaps skipping Clovis and...
It's the Yakima HangOver 4. Vertical bike racks are comically expensive (taking advantage of the VanLife / Overlander Instagram pricing IMO). If I lived where I was regularly transporting MTBs I might invest in a more expensive unit. The HangOver is on sale at REI for sub $400 (vs nearly $1k...
First time posting a TR here - New Rivian owner - Took delivery of 2025 Gen2 TriMax R1S in late September. Full XPEL PPF (clear) as I didnt want to worry much about branches etc. SA is home base for XPEL so great local work done on it. $$ but worth it IME. All local driving until now. This...
FYI - Anker now makes an intelligent power splitting USB-C - ordering one now. Hoping I can run the camera HD and a phone cord off one and then have the other one open for miscellaneous use
Anker USB-C Splitter - Amazon
Took delivery on 9/28 for a TriMax that VIN matched early Sept (from a Gen2 announcement order that was very close. The sales person switched my order to the Sept VIN to get it to me faster by adding the camp speaker). On delivery the sales rep thought I would be in the Jan time frame. I got...
Caprock looks interesting - has anyone tried this with the Rivian bars and the Thule crossbar kit yet? Curious how this works with an R1S in Large size and how easy it is to swap on/off the bars so I could toss a box up there instead of the platform as needed.
This is exactly what I'm leaning towards. Any chance those plate "files" are available?
My ideal system doesnt exist yet that I know of. I want a clean roof 98% of the time. I run bikes off the hitch. Only time I need platform up top is the 1-2 times a year I plan to be truly "wheeling"...
Currently out of stock - do you know when you'll have these back? Like the billet more than other options out there - cleaner wall mount, less snag potential
New owner getting into mods. Love the idea of modularity where I can "kit up" for the weekend adv and then go back to mall crawler / dinner out mode for the week.
Is there a thread or info on how you guys are wiring this all in so it's so modular / plug and play?
Could you find overland trips that exceed the current capacities of an R1 and the charging infrastructure? Absolutely. But as noted above, distance from a charger and length of trip LIKELY not pushing anything to the max for most people. It's worth pointing out that Rivian did that Trans...
Do the megawatts fit Gen2 builds? I noticed some other brands now list Gen1 and Gen2 models. Expecting a Gen2 later this fall and really would like the megawatts.
This has been my experience as well. I currently drive an Odyssey the year PRE CarPlay. I've lived with my iPhone in a cradle for nearly a decade. No issues. When I rent, CP certainly is used but it's VERY hit or miss. Sometimes the wireless drops out or the USB is finicky. Sometimes the...
Following this thread. Live in SA about 5' from the Rivian Adv station at La Cantera. We get out of the heat in the summer and trek northwest to Ouray/Telluride areas. ICE drive is typically SA/Junction/Eden/San Angelo/Big Spring/Brownfield/Roswell/Vaughn/ABQ/north up 550 to CO but as others...
