Ah! Ok, cool. Not really gonna help my R1S, but cool for you!

Cool…what is a flaired camper shell & where do I get one?

J1772 is mostly ok...but J1772-CCS seems to be a real issue. Or maybe it is the thick cables. I did a long trip Thursday and stopped at a RAN and multiple Tesla Magic Dock Superchargers, plus a EA charger. The EA and RAN were a pain to line up the plug in the socket, the Tesla ones seemed a...

Same on reverse lines, noticed it this morning while backing new trailer into garage. Even with them being off center they have been super helpful, but it doesn’t exactly inspire confidence that either my Rivian doesn’t know where it’s centerline is, or the tow hitch isn’t centered! It is a...

Lots of interstate at 55, some surface streets at 35 to 45. To be honest I was expecting more efficiency from a popup. Also to be honest it was taller then I remember a popup being…

I get what you are saying & agree, but… 50 years? You are going to be replacing a lot maybe all of the boat over 50 years. Weights change and shift. Also I know we have high hopes for the durability and longevity of our R1, but it is not that likely to be your tow vehicle in 50 years… Go...

Yes, yes I do (I was not anticipating towing a TT when deciding the standard would be zero issues). I mean I’m sure I could have had a max pack and needed to stop that many times if the TT had been in PA or MD…for lame reasons I almost picked one in MD — I would have been sleeping in it for...

I bought a pop up camper yesterday. I drove like 200 miles to get it and charged at a RAN on the way which had a trailer pull through. Cool! My return trip says I’m coming here as well so I won’t have to do weird crap to fit a trailer in a non trailer spot! One other EV charges at the RAN...

One Apple (honeycrisp) to go with the other three from last year (a liberty, and um, two more I can’t rember off the top of my head), and three plums one of which is black ice I can’t remember the other. Inside the R1T I had three rubarb shrubs, two honey berry shrubs, and two…um…some other...

Watching their own video they hit hard on the “we made it affordable”, “we simplified it”, “we don’t have crystal speakers”. That message was repeated and emphasized long before they actually talked about anything that SLATE had, and sometimes customizability was talked about only in...

I know these are _called_ a roof top tent, but can they be used on the ground? (like if say someone has issues climbing up on top of an SUV...)

You might, especially if everyone else already did, although if you are already selling vehicles at a loss you are more likely to leave the price alone and just either finally make a profit, or stick with the smaller loss. Mostly it depends on what the market leaders do. (and also if you see a...

Neither Rivian, nor any other US EV maker has made any comments on this sort of thing. I don’t follow EV makers in all other countries so when I say I haven’t heard of any in other countries either that statement isn’t all that useful. One significant issue here is it would require future...

I would think the mobile charger would be absolutely fine for months, or years. The whole time I owned my prior EV (Tesla Model Y) I used it’s mobile charger. Using an abandoned circuit that may or may not share with other items in the house you might want to think twice about. Yes I know...

If you look at your smartphone Rivian app it has the milage on the “main screen” although “below the fold”, so it should be available to them in software when they are creating the paperwork without sending anyone out to look at the vehicle. On the other hand if it says “26” and they put 26 in...

I’m not convinced it is a commonly used item. Most people who haven’t had a car that uses phone as key before think they want one, and a great many people that see the $200+ price decide they don’t need one. My wife who was sure she would need one having used the phone first to see if she...

The safest and fastest charging option is to get an electrician to run a fresh circuit dedicated to the EV and get a wall charger that can go up to 11kW which will need a circuit rated for 60A (because you need 20% or so headroom for a circuit you expect to run for many hours in row).. That...

Any arguments about 14-50 v hardwired aside, this isn’t nearly as important on a Rivian. The R1 still (in 2025) comes with a “travel charger” in the frunk. So if you buy a wall charger for your garage either because you like how it looks better, or because when hardwired it can charge faster...

Wow, looks like you could pull a trailer through the end spots at least. Plus it’s weird to see something so close to my old home when I’m living so far away (I use to be in Morgan Hill, CA & now I’m in VT!)

The charger screen shot lists an energy and running cost of $6.39 (two distinct line items, same price). Any idea what the running cost represents? Was the total bill around $12 or around $6?
