BYD flash charging. This tech seems like a game changer for EVs. @OutofSpecKyle tested it and got 800kW top charging speed and got a full charge in 8 minutes. Holy cow! Will it ever show up in the U.S.?

With the announcement of the R2, I thought about what it’d take to get a new Rivian. I like having a pickup, so I’d most likely get another R1T. My 2023 R1T is finally in great shape, after numerous service visits (knock on wood!) and I’m reluctant to have to repeat that experience with a new...

I had this rattle that would appear whenever the AC condenser came on. I tried everything to try to identify the source of the rattle. After about a month of trial and error, it turns out this metal plate by the brake pedal wasn’t snug. So the vibration from the AC condenser would resonate...

I’ve had my R1T for three years, and the rattle under the front dash mesh has been an ongoing issue. After much trial and error, I determined this plastic piece, which I presume helps with defrost air vectoring, has been the cause of the rattles all along. I decided to just get it out. Poorly...

Just curious what the community stance is at the moment on whether they’ll pay for Autonomy+ or not

I’ve been getting random proximity alerts when I turn the vehicle sharply, eg turning right at an intersection. But, there are no actual objects by the car. Gen 1 R1T. This has been happening across different software updates. Picture is what I see on the front dash. There’s audio alerts...

Now that $7500 tax credit on leases aren’t available, it seems Rivian is incentivizing purchases with low loan rates. 1.99% for 60 months 2.49% for 72 months I played around with the calculator. It appears you have to put a reasonable minimum sufficient down payment to get these rates. (Or...

Here’s a new issue I haven’t seen here before. My left front wheel seems to be not centered properly in its well—it’s too forward. Right wheel is centered properly. And on the left side, this seems to be causing rubbing inside the well. I’ve created a service ticket. But has anyone else seen...

As title asks, for the general 2026 model year, are we seeing anything new (from 2025) other than the NACS port? (For the R1 cars. Not R2.)

Saw in the headlines. I don’t think this is a good idea for Rivian. Generally right now, I think people have an adverse view of humanoid robots taking human jobs. Amazon to test humanoid robots for package delivery with Rivian electric vans...

From Verge article: https://www.theverge.com/news/678005/rivian-ev-charging-software-update-battery-fast-charging

All signs point to the R2 charging at 400v. Same with R1. So, the question is, when will Rivian provide 800v charging capability? When looking at the totality of the EV tech landscape, it feels like max 400v charging is becoming outdated really fast.

Just came across the headlines
