  1. New 2025 Ram and Ramcharger PHEV Hybrid revealed

    I tow a 3500 pound travel trailer with a wrangler (5200lbs.) that has the pentastar. It does the job, but it’s pretty slow. How is that going to be different when the battery is depleted? My guess is with a full size truck hauling around a heavy battery to start with and then hooking up a 7-8k...
  2. Trying to not take the R1T for granted

    It is interesting how this happens to most people after driving a good EV for awhile. When I was younger we used to try and make our cars faster with upgrades, but mostly we just made them louder. Now that I’ve bee driving the Rivian for a bit I equate loud to being slow. ?‍♂️? It pretty much...
  3. Any Amazon delivery drivers on the forums?

    If so I’d love to hear your thoughts. I want to get my hands on one as soon as they start hitting the used market. Maybe we should have a section in this forum for the delivery vans.
  4. My New Rivian R1S broken down after 40 days: “Limited Performance” issue.

    Hang in there. It’s a very rare occurrence and Rivian will take care of it. 22k on mine in 9 months and trouble free.
  5. Rivian Adventure Network Update - Billing to begin Early November

    It’s my fault and I want to apologize to the community. I’ve got 22k in 9 months and I’ve hit RAN 61 times!
  6. General interest - when fast charging (RAN), motor temps increase.

    I pulled a trailer all day today and the motor temps stayed below 160 except for once while it was preconditioning it went up to over 200 for about 5 minutes and then started to cool as I pulled into the charger. It must be using motor inefficiency to generate heat. It was in the 30s F.
  7. New towing update still needs some work

    It was not a loop style test, just had to go from Portland to Medford Oregon with the trailer. I will be doing the reverse on Friday and I’m deliberating if I want to reset it or if I should let it go and see if it gets closer over time. I kept speeds at 60-65 for the entire trip. It just seems...
  8. New towing update still needs some work

    I towed the camper ~260 miles on Sunday and while the GOM was better than before, it’s still gets baffled when it comes to simple math. After towing for 4.5 hours at 1.0 m/kWh the truck still thinks I can go over 180 miles on a full charge, and the range at arrival is still overly optimistic...
  9. Quad vs Dual - snow performance?

    Beautiful view! You must not live in azalea anymore.
  10. Quad vs Dual - snow performance?

    IMHO the quad motor R1T is the best vehicle I’ve ever had in the snow. it’s traction and stability control are extremely fast to react to slipping.
  11. Are you guys watching this? EV's in decline!

    Osborne effect could also have a lot to do with it. Combine that with the high prices and interest rates and there could just be a lot of buyers in a holding pattern. Waiting for NACS. Waiting for Cybertruck. Waiting for Fords ground up electric truck the T3. etc. Hopefully there’s not too many...
  12. Not going to be using the R1S as a roadtrip vehicle again

    I just got back from a 2100 mile 5 day trip from Portland area down to southern cali and back and didn’t have to wait and never found a broken charger. I used RAN whenever I could and EA the rest.
  13. GM delays EV pickup production by a year to 2025

    Ooffffff. The company that proclaims so much but produces so little. They will limp along promising the world while soaking up as much government money for as long as they can. Where are all those Blazers that were on the train headed for the US from Mexico? Must be a long trip………
  14. Hell's Gate in my R1T

    Maybe I’ll be a chicken and do Chicken Corners instead. ?
  15. Hell's Gate in my R1T

    I’ve done it in my jeep, but you are braver than I am with the Rivian. How was the rest of the trail as far as scraping underneath or either end? I’m gonna be there this weekend in the Rivian! ???
  16. V4 Tesla Supercharger looks more user friendly + magic dock connector and display (spotted photos)

    I believe this is what’s under the plastic wrap, and that’s what we are looking for. This picture is from Reddit.
  17. V4 Tesla Supercharger looks more user friendly + magic dock connector and display (spotted photos)

    Looks like the orientation and cable length of these will allow charge ports on either side to be used pretty easily. Just thought I’d share a couple pics.
  18. Driver seat reclined too far?

    Thanks all! This is a new record for me getting the answer I was looking for on this forum! I found the seat calibration in the service menu and it’s good as new now.
