The chargepoint stations at the Silverthorne Target also somehow got an A even though they only delivered 40kw every time I have used it despite advertising 200kw. Based on the ratings I am seeing there is no way I am going to visit a non-tesla charger without researching it on plugshare...

It has nothing to do with technology. Your Rivian is less efficient because it is bigger, heavier, and a less aerodynamic shape (which is what makes the Rivian so much bigger inside) Both vehicles are sufficiently efficient in their drivetrain that there is little room left for improved...

Other shops not wanting to work on your vehicle is not the same thing as Rivian "wont sell to other more reasonable cost installers, wont release the sensor calibration software"

I find your claim that there are no alternative installers dubious given that Rivian told me this week that they are not capable of installing windshields themselves at the service center and that if I scheduled the repair through them they would have to send it to a 3rd party body shop a few...

But why not rotate them 180 degrees so the screen is facing the correct stall? They are just as thin when pointing the other direction.

What is the reason to look at the charger screen for the car next to you? Even if viewing the screen isn't necessary, it is more useful to the driver who is charging than it is to the passenger of the vehicle in the next stall. Also it is much less awkward stand between the pedestal and your...

Good timing for this thread. I am having my windshield replaced this week. The day after my windshield cracked I drove by the local Rivian service center to discuss. If you have a service center nearby, I have found it much easier to just show up uninvited than it is to get ahold of anyone on...

It seemed like they used to push the updates to everyone at roughly the same time. Until they sent out an update that broke every vehicle that installed it. Since then they seem to be rolling the updates out more slowly in a few waves over 3-4 days. You have no control over which wave you...

I don't think the number of offline stalls should have any weight. The number of broken stalls doesn't matter. What matters is the number of available stalls. Which would you prefer? A 6 stall location where every stall is working and 4 are usually occupied, (2 available) A 12 stall location...

Do they have any way of detecting when someone shows up and sees the situation is so bad leave without attempting to plug in? For example if 3 of 4 stalls are broken and covered up and there are 5 cars in line waiting to use the 1 functioning stall so you just leave. Does that count as a...

Hopefully Rivian was smart enough to include Max speed as well as Max requested speed speed in the data it is collecting.

I have only charged my Rivian at a Tesla Supercharger few times so far, but thus far I haven't seen evidence that a single person even noticed my giant Yellow SUV wasn't a Tesla. Not even an "Isn't that interesting" second glance. If there hadn't been a Rivian driver for them to focus their...

Food attracts bugs, so a screened in enclosure for the picnic table is really nice. I also suggest that you look for a tent that can attach to the Rivian's tailgate. So you can run the AC and let the cool/warm air flow into the tent. Something like this.

I don't think Rivian would have sold all of their demo vehicles if they weren't changing something noticeable. No need for them to invest in new demo vehicles if all of the changes are invisible to the customer. However I am skeptical that it will be anything revolutionary from a customer's...

I like the look of them on the front most and rear most locations. As far as utility, it really depends on what you are putting up there. That wide arranged works best when I am transporting my canoe. But it is really bad when transporting my skis which work best with the front 2 positions...

are the bumpy bits uncomfortable if you stand on them with bare feet?

I really needed this for a 2k mile road trip.....Last week. Thanks for posting, I hope you save someone's vacation.

Could it have been an R2? Hard to tell from this picture angle. I am pretty sure that at least one of the R2 reviews/videos discussed how R2 moved the turn signals.

Are you looking at the birds eye view? Not exactly what you are asking for, but I think the birds eye view is more helpful for parking than guide lines would be.
