Anyone encountered an issue where level 1/2 charger doesn't work only DC Level 3? My at home juicebox was working fine for the first 3 weeks. We went to our Boston trip, used Level 3 on the road and came back, plugged in and it no longer worked. I rebooted the R1S and it worked fine, woke up...

We are in central NJ and headed up to Boston to do some college tours. This about 260 miles each way, not counting the NY area traffic nor the local driving required. Just wanted to provide a quick review of our journey and what our experience was like. Clean R1S to start our NorthEast...

I have read all sorts of things about charging, what is good and bad about doing this or that but have a few questions: I understand DC charging all the time isn't great for the battery, ok cool. But what about AC charging. Is it bad to AC charge it every couple of days? When AC charging...

Just picked up my Rivian R1S today from the guys at Lux Auto Detailing in Marlboro NJ. What an amazing job these guys did. The R1S looks great, the wheels are perfect. We did paint correction and polish with a 5 year ceramic coat, along with the wheels and calipers. Check them out if you...

Took delivery today of our R1S. Quick summary: Getting to the Brooklyn service center from NJ was a bitch. Don't think I ever want to do that drive again, so let's hope the Edison service center gets up and running smoothly. Sales process: The 8 steps went super smooth, getting delivery went...

https://insideevs.com/news/622609/google-maps-update-ev-fast-chargers/ This is why you let the folks at Apple and Google manage the apps for this and don't try to do it on your own. There is no way you can develop as quickly or as well as they have. Focus on the vehicle let these two focus on...

Today was out and about and saw my first Rivian in the wild. Sorry couldn't grab pics as I was driving, but it was a white R1T pulling into the Whole Foods parking lot. I so wanted to talk to the owner but we were in a rush and couldn't.

This was a bad week for tires in our house, had to get 4 tires for my wife's Q3 and then 4 for my A7. Let's just say not cheap. This had me thinking about tire protection plans for the rivian tires. I always get it on my cars because we have a few potholes here in the northeast and I would...

22" wheel: Pirelli Scorpion Zero All Season size: 275/50R22 designed for max performance, max grip, and stability while still offering the low rolling resistance benefits the outer diameter of the tire is 33 in. not run flat I was thinking about this as I am dealing with a nightmare from Audi...

having the adventure package on order was curious what is 'Launch Edition Badging'. I have heard it is all the yellow accents inside and out; model designation, Rivian badging, brakes etc etc; but have not seen anything official on this. Just curious what it really is?

Has anyone heard if you can go to Normal to pickup your vehicle. I personally would love to do that. Porsche has this service where you can order your car and they let you go to their facility in Atlanta and spend time on a track with your vehicle (or one like it). It would be great to go to...

I have an fun exercise in front of me. With a R1S on order I was hoping to just extend my current lease, which ends in April, until the Rivian arrives. However deals and manufacturers want cars, especially ones with low mileage. I am hearing that they will not extend your lease unless you...

Today the JuiceBox went up and is online and ready to go. I am glad I am getting ahead of this stuff. Took over 6 weeks to get the JuiceBox and that is after 13 weeks for an electrician to come out. I am the kind of person who would rather have it waiting for when the truck arrives then be...

Today had the electricians install my port for charging. Excited to get the R1S in here, but I know it is months away. Regardless the local electricians are on a 14 week lead time for work so glad this is done and I don't have to think about it any more.
