Hopefully they will put some in areas well off the interstate. The freeways are pretty well covered but secondary roads not so much.

I can state with a high degree of statistical confidence that my new Gen 2 Max Pack R1T charges as fast or faster than my Gen 1 Large Pack. I've used primarily Electrify America on my road trips (very successfully). The charging session data is shown below. ** There are 39 charging sessions...

I’ve done several long drives with no issues.

Did the efficiency increase with the most recent update? Based on my testing I think the answer is clearly no. My most recent trip is denoted with the blue arrow. It's actually a little bit worse but the wind was a bit high. Will continue to monitor but I would be very surprised with it had...

What is the Minnesota location? Clicking on the pin says “Maple Grove” but that is not where it is located on the map. Maple Grove would make sense as there is an REI there.

Like a pry bar. Never had to but I thought the plastic levers would be less likely to damage the paint. Might by a mote point if the motor failed….

I have an iPhone 15. Paak works fine 80% of the time. 15% there is a significant delay in locking or unlocking where I walk away and wait, wait, wait to make sure it locks.. 5% I ended up having to use another method. The annoyance out weighs the connivence by a long measure. Also, I do a...

I recognize Mr Stanfield as a fellow longtime Rivian Forum member who I typically see eye to eye with on all things Rivian. However, on this topic our experiences diverge. I find the door locks to be the worst aspect of the Rivian experience. The capacitive touch door lock was perfected maybe...

Each data point represents the efficiency from one entire trip. I have a vacation home in northern Wisconsin I visit frequently from the Minneapolis area. The data is the efficiency reported by the Trip A odometer in the Rivian UI at the completion of each 165 mile trip. It is reset to zero...

I've been a bit puzzled over that too. The Gen 1 Quad has AP and Conserve modes. I wonder if the EPA is a blend of the two. Gen 2 Dual is essentially always like the conserve mode on a steady speed drive like this. For purposes of clarity, I've only included data where I used the Gen 1 in...

I’ve posted my efficiency results many times before but here they are again. This is on a 165 mile route I do frequently. Mix of 70mph freeway and 55 mph rural roads. Avg speed is 54 mph. I’ve owned a Gen 1 quad and now a Gen 2 dual R1T

There is a switch in the Rivian nav that says “ avoid chargers that need adapter “. Is that on in yours?

Last summer I drove from Vancouver to Winnipeg on the trans Canada in my R1T. I had no issues charging. There are enough superchargers open that it was super easy. Go to the Tesla website or PlugShare and filter for SCs open to non Tesla. This summer I am planning to go to Nova Scotia from...

Hiking is sparse in the BWCA. It is primarily a place to explore by boat. The ice won’t be off the lakes until April sometime. Permits are required and should be applied for week in advance best hiking option is the Superior Hiking Trail. It follows the entire north shore of Lake Superior...

Getting these dies dialed in and online is probably one of the most important items on the R2 ramp Gantt chart. Great news!

Rivian has MANY other avenues to gather inputs. A thousand or so engineers and technicians rigorously testing the vehicles under controlled conditions. Many employee owned vehicles providing feedback. Telemetry data from ~100,000 vehicles in the field, etc. I don’t think the OOS videos tell...

I have owned both the Gen 1 and Gen 2 putting 70,000 miles on the two. I've kept very careful track of efficiency on a 165 mile route I take repeatedly. Unfortunately, I have seen no efficiency benefit with the Gen 2 heat pump. I love everything about the Gen 2 except the heat pump. It's...

Somebody on this forum said something to the effect he was single handedly responsible for Rivian make significant improvements to the vehicle. That is eye roll worthy. ?

Just got my R1T FOB. Easy to pair to vehicle. Super happy to be done with the phone as key nonsense.

Alex on Autos and the sister channel EV Buyer’s Guide are far better reviews.
