For one - Better mobile phone integration for hands-free texting response. Second - would love to use a USB music storage through the entertainment system. I REALLY detest Apple Music, but it's all we got that will play (sorta) my already-owned music.

An EV in mining makes perfect sense! If you have take the vehicle into a mine (think of something like the huge, cavernous salt mines under Lake Michigan), there is no pollution to worry about. I wonder how the vehicles are configured (battery, power, etc.)? It is WONDERFUL to see yet more...

That is WILD! Very cool!!! I live at sea level in RI; about the highest elevation the truck as been to since delivery was 380 feet above sea level. At best, I am can get in the mid 3's for regen power.

We do not have TOU rates here in RI; it's the same regardless if I charge mid-day or Midnight. I have solar on the house, and generally try and limit my charging to when the sun generating power to the house. Since our home is all electric, I am wary of the amperage that the EV can draw, and...

Well... with an August / September expected time frame for opening, we should hear some status soon...

Pretty much summed up here. The inspection is done via photos. When I traded in my Nissan Frontier, once I got to the Rivian center, that was the last I saw of it. It's DIFFERENT than if you use a car dealership where they will look for every frickin nit to knock do the value. Once you get...

I did that when we ordered our R1T - had an electrician wire an outlet into our garage's service panel. I printed down the Rivian charger specs and gave that to him. 50amp breaker to the proper NEMA receptacle.

It's Springtime here in RI and the Rivians are in full bloom. NOW I am seeing several when I am out and about.

Nope! Got to the R1T and nada; won't unlock. Tried bouncing the Bluetooth and that did not fix it; had to restart the phone. When we first got the R1T, it would happen... once every couple of weeks. Now the phone loses the connection to the truck almost daily. I'm getting into the habit of...

I have a Motorola RAZR (2023) that SUCKS as a PaaK. I usually restart the phone, but will just try bouncing the Bluetooth the next time it forgets where the R1T is. No issues with my husbands iOS or my older Android. It's the f-ing phone.

We hit the NY Intl. Auto Show a could weeks ago. We were totally underwhelmed by the EV's on display and on test drive; across all makes and models. With all the tariff panic talk and the prices starting to jack up, we're going to nurse a couple more years out of the 2015 Nissan Rogue. We'll...

In other news, they are looking to pass an EV Vehicle tax since EV's don't use gas and don't contribute to the taxes on gas that go to infrastructure. Honestly, I could see that, if it is reasonable.

For shits and giggles, I looked up the RAN station in Kittery, ME. It's $0.41 per kW. I don't know what the deal is here in RI? The difference between the RAN station and Tesla station less than a 1000 feet from each other is $0.12kW. Not like it's crossing some geographic boundary or...

I saw a comment somewhere that if we have a subscription to "Connect+" (I do) that there... is a discount when using a RAN station...? Is that a thing?

Question: Did that come up before of after you started charging? The RAN station in-state here is at $0.60kW, no exceptions. It's actually $.04 more expensive than the Mercedes Benz dealer (on Chargepoint) a mile from my house.

There is a substantial disconnect between the stated battery range and the actual miles driven. I use the Trip-A odometer; I put 138 miles on the truck since the last charge at a cost of $34.18. When I divide that cost by the mileage, I get $0.25 per mile. I don't know what other mathematics...

We went EV thinking we would be saving SO much money over gasoline. Just ain't happening, and I have that... sour note... stuck in my mind. I tried, I tried, I tried. Had to run errands yesterday that took me within 8 miles of the East Greenwich RI RAN station (rated at 1 - ⭐, BTW); figured...

Holy crap! I used the East Greenwich RI RAN center back in early December (well before my education on charging centers...). It was my first charge since getting my R1T. Back yonder, it was $0.48 kW. I will be over on that side of the state this week, and was thinking about stopping there to...

Here in RI, now that the weather is warm again, I am seeing more Rivians on the road. I went all winter without one sighting! I guess most folks keep them in storage for the winter or something? RARELY does anyone in another Rivian acknowledge when I [wave, flash the lights, etc.]. Kinda giving...

What a good review! I have been keeping a journal of my experience with my 2nd Gen R1T-Large. I am hitting 6 months with it and am dubiously optimistic that I made the right decision. My first EV; went from the ICE to EV migration panic to getting over non-existent range anxiety to the...
