Several weeks ago, the passenger-side door of the gear tunnel quit working. When I pushed the button to open it, there was a loud buzz inside and it didn't unlock. The tech was able to fix it onsite and the repairs were completed. It was the latch mechanism. He showed it to me. In fact, it seems...

Has anyone noticed that the competition is shamelessly copying Rivian styling? The R1S SUV has been very well received and now new vehicles in development by competing manufacturers are copying it, with a black roof and the same body-colored roof pillar design. I saw a rendering of a Toyota EV...

I haven't used the camp speaker a lot. It took a while to learn that you pair it with your phone, not the truck. Yesterday I was setting out on a 50-mile shopping trip. When I got in the truck, I found that the Rivian error chord was sounding about every thirty seconds. Very loud. I soon found...

Wireless devices like key fobs have a certain number of failures for various reasons. Range is a big one. If you're too far away they don't work. Then there is objects which are in the way, like walls, that block the signal. So I make allowances for my Rivian key fob. But there is a line where...

The altitude where I live is 5600 feet. It looks like the air pressure here is around 12 psi. At sea level it is about 14.7 psi. This causes problems with devices that measure tire pressure which are calibrated for sea level. My dashboard graphic says that the pressure is 44 psi in all my tires...

I have a question and I'm hoping somebody else has done the work / observations. Suppose you start at 90% charge and you drive on a certain road at a certain temperature until it's telling you you have 80% charge. You've gone X miles. Now suppose you start at 20% charge and drive under the same...

A month or two ago there was a flurry of Silverado EV Work Truck test drives. They were mostly extremely positive. The big problem is that you just can't get one. I gave up and bought a Rivian R1T. It's a fun car that I like a lot. I call it a car because it's not really what you call a truck...

I've had my R1T for a few weeks. I'm still learning what "normal" behavior is. Today I took my Rivian to the grocery store. The touch screen was on the select ride mode function. I guess the last thing I did when I was using it previously was switch to the normal drive mode. I started down the...

I've had an R1T for a few weeks now. About the only problem I've discovered so far is how the lid to the spare tire compartment closes. Of course, you close it manually. There are a couple of latches on each side. To close it you slam it quite firmly. When I slam it, the right side doesn't go...

I I live in a rural area in central Utah. Today I needed to make a trip to Walmart in Ephraim, UT. It's a 22-mile drive from where I live. On the way a big truck went by and I heard a rock hit the windshield. It didn't sound so bad. I've heard worse on other cars. I thought I would check for a...

I've had my Rivian for a week or two. Possibly my only disappointment is the lack of a port for connecting a USB memory stick for playing music. Every other car I know of can do this. Am I missing something? The bluetooth seems to only work with a phone. It seems that you are limited to...

First of all, I am not an electrician. I did all the wiring in my new home, so I'm not a newbie. Recently I installed a 240-volt circuit in my 200-amp box, which I have never done before. I used 80 feet of 6-gauge stranded copper wire and a 50-amp circuit breaker. Everything looks fine. The...
