    RAN Pricing has gone up again!

    After looking at some more RAN prices, it looks like Rivian has been feeling the sting of too high of prices and bringing them back to market. Manteca and Sacramento was the best deal around, but they are moving them up to current rates in the area. On May 8th, I went from Joshua Tree to the Bay...

    RAN Pricing has gone up again!

    Rivian raised their rates just before Presidents Day Weekend. They just raised it again just before Memorial Day Weekend at some RAN locations. Last week it was $0.39/kWh in Sacramento and $0.44/kWh in Manteca, CA. Today it was $0.46/kWh in Sacramento and $0.54/kWh in Manteca. They did lower...

    Sagging - is this normal?

    I noticed my front end sagging every morning, but it would level out as I got in and the suspension was adjusting. I had a service appointment scheduled for last month before my warranty was up at 60K miles. It had 57,300 when I brought in my gen1 R1T. They replaced the dampers with...

    Unlocking the car at home is maddening

    This boggled my mind when I was able to open things while the truck was locked with proximity set to lock only while at home. What I found out was that it will unlock the lock closest to the phone. So I walk up to the frunk with my phone in my pocket and it will open the frunk. If I leave my...

    UPDATE: Looks like I'm getting the v2 Tonneau

    I kept seeing it as v2 for the thin slats. v1...original, v1.5....replacement/retrofit starting 12/2023, v2....smaller slats introduced on Dune. I saw the smaller slats on a Gen2 R1T last weekend at the Rivian Space Grand Opening in San Jose. It looked and functioned really nice. Could...

    UPDATE: Looks like I'm getting the v2 Tonneau

    You got v2? The thin slats that's shown on the Dune edition? I didn't have a problem with the original TC on my very, very early VIN (004x), but they swapped it out January 2024. It's binded up a few times and I took it several times for them to let the truck sit for weeks and then not...

    Unlocking the car at home is maddening

    I have a Gen 1 RiT and have it set to "lock only" when at home. I created shortcuts on my phone and watch and as I walk out of the house, I tell Siri to "Unlock Rivian" and it's unlocked by the time I reach my truck. Try that option to see if it works for you.

    UPDATE: Looks like I'm getting the v2 Tonneau

    Got my truck back from San Jose today. Unfortunately, not v2. Paperwork says they "replaced TC with updated parts," so is that v1.75??? It's running smooth but we'll see how long that lasts. Headed to Joshua Tree next week for 5 days.

    UPDATE: Looks like I'm getting the v2 Tonneau

    Which SC are you at? My Gen 1 truck has been at SJ for the past 3 weeks for the TC and other items. I’ve had supporting videos of it stopping after opening up 2 slats when the sun bakes the truck. I’m hoping they change out my 1.5 to v2.

    When to proactively replace the 12V batteries before they fail??

    My truck is in for service right now. I still have the original 2 batteries that were installed 12/2021 with 57K miles on the truck. I inquired last October and now about batteries but they state that that my batteries don't fall into the replacement campaign. I totally understand since its...

    I have a TrailManor too. The shower works good. I can mount mine onto the ceiling. It has an on/off switch too. One time I wasn't paying attention and the shower curtain directed the water to the floor between the tub and toilet. Earlier this month we were camping at Carpinteria Campground...

    Roadtrip Settings Help

    The faster you go, the less efficient you will be. Don't accelerate hard and keep it under 65 mph. Draft behind some semi's will help a little too.

    Buying Used 22 R1T - Dealer Extended Warranty Worth It?

    I’m at 57K miles on my ‘22 R1T. Hearing how much it cost for parts and service pushed me to get the extended warranty. I went with XCare since they’ve been catering EV’s for a while. Here’s there link: https://www.xcelerateauto.com/

    Current Travel Trailers / RVs you're towing - Reviews and Recommendations!

    My 1.39 avg was going 65-75 mph. I'm going down I-5 this week so I'll have long, straight stretches where I'll test at 55 mph to see what efficiency I'll get.
