I’ve had it happen like twice in 2 1/2 years. Scary but not really a big deal. The reboot process prioritizes getting the most vital data up first, so you’ll see your speedometer back within seconds, etc.

And I think it’s a harder problem than the tech world appreciates. As an example: I can already do things like “prefer” or “avoid” certain charge networks. But while I really would like to avoid, say, EA… I don’t want to avoid them so much that I’d go 50 miles out of my way to get to a more...

The reason companies offer extended warranties is that they think the warranty will cost more than you'd pay in repairs - otherwise they wouldn’t be profitable. Extended warranties are a form of insurance - you don’t buy them to save money (you’re almost guaranteed not to). The only reason to...

My thing with this: I’m willing to pay more to get the benefit of plug & charge (I needed to charge at an EA station the other day, and my god, what a pain in the ass). But if I can get that at a supercharger for cheaper, why would I ever hit a RAN charger? in the end, though… I use public...

Well. My total vampire drain amounts to around 6 miles/night at most. So if I get 2 miles/kWh, that means I’m losing 3 kWh a night. And given that I’m paying $.12 per kWh… we're talking 36 cents a day. I'm probably wasting more energy than that staring into the refrigerator trying to decide what...

I'd buy this!

I like the solar power solution for while you’re camping. But when you’re in your own garage… what’s the advantage to this over just plugging your truck in?

Re: tonneau. Rivian makes a manual tonneau cover for it that you should be able to buy through the gear shop. There are also tons of third party covers - I googled up “rivian tonneau cover” and there were half a dozen options on the first page. No personal experience with these, as I’ve got the...

A lot of times this is a result of either the plug not being completely seated into the adapter or the adapter not being completely seated into your receptacle. I had this problem three or four times with the A2Z adapter until it got a little broken in.

Yeah, this has become a giant thorn in my side too. I'm constantly on the volume control now, because songs vary from barely hearable to earsplitting.

The white probably keeps it cooler in the summer, though.

Killer app for 240 vAC out: two words. Buddy charge. A little over a year ago my partner was out and misjudged how many miles he had left in his EV6 (cold weather, etc). He ended up down to like 1% as he arrived at a charger… which was broke. I drove out there in the R1T and plugged him in using...

One of the things I found out pretty quickly was that a lot of problems are cured with a reboot (or even just letting the vehicle go to sleep overnight). Always try that first. Glad you’re enjoying your truck!
