Hey guys. Having a bad day. It hasn't rained in weeks and my lawn would be crying at me (if it had any water). So the first day we get rain, I'm out there stuck in this torrential downpour because I also picked up a nail in my tire. No problem, I think. I'm prepared. It's a bit close to...
A friend just sent me this picture of a nicely wrapped R1T at a BBQ battle. 100 degrees here in DC this weekend. I hope people are buying a lot of his lemonade! ?
Stay cool out there y'all. ☺️
Making the rounds on some of my local news feeds this morning. Surprised I didn't see anyone toss a thread up on this here yet. Lordstown Endurance on Cars & Bids. It's pretty local to me, should go check it out, haha.

Edit...
Over on other social media the trolls like to say "Insurance on a Rivian is 100x that of a normal vehicle!" and other such nonsense. I waste entirely too much time arguing, to no avail.
But was surprised to see Nationwide actually sent me a refund on my insurance this morning. Guess they're...
Is it just me? Or can Alexa / MapBox not ever find anything? Voice assistant is supposed to save time / keep hands on wheel while navigating, but is absolutely infuriating. For example, I asked it to go to the UPS Store. I'm literally parked in front of the store and it's telling me to go...
Dumb question but I haven't seen it posted elsewhere. Can a Rivian with the Tesla adapter charge at a Tesla "Supercharger" station in China? How 'bout in Europe?
Saw this Rivian passing me last night in Northern Virginia, 267 Dulles Toll Road westbound, 9:00pm 3/12. Looks like there's something wrong with your tailgate light (only half lit up). Just wanted to post here in case someone is not aware. Since you can't exactly see it while driving:
I know our Rivian's have their own unique set problems and challenges that come with ownership.
But I'm still in a whole bunch of Chevy truck forums, and just wanted to say I don't miss this at all. ??
Guys, I just needed to share this. Considering all the "doom & gloom" lately, another post about Rivian's software architecture reminded me of this screenshot a few days ago in one of the Chevy forums:
There was dozens of comments but long story short this guy's truck needed a software...
Spent a bit of time at the Lucid showroom in Tysons Corner (VA) last weekend. After owning a Rivian for the past year I wasn't super-impressed. I didn't see any apps on the radio (like how we have Spotify, Tune-In, etc.), and the thumb-wheel thingys on the steering wheel felt klunky. Also...
I seem to have developed a slight intermittent "squeak" which appears to be coming from the top of the accelerator pedal somewhere. Before I turn the cats loose in there to look for mice or begin spraying WD-40 wildly over everything, has anyone had this issue before? What'd you use and where...
I really hate to post another thread about PaaK / proximity unlock, but have noticed since yesterday (January 1) my truck randomly unlocked itself several times sitting in the driveway out front. Once I was in the garage and heard it (truck chirped outside of garage), the other times I saw it...
Piggybacking off some of the recent threads about "what apps should you have", are there any route planning apps that allow drag & drop planning? Like you can do with google maps on a desktop?
I mean like this:
Not just dragging stops on a list. ? Tia!
Just saw this on an unrelated forum. Has anyone signed up for this yet with their Rivian? Aside from some of the usual "data privacy issues" (giving another 3rd party access to your vehicle location data) it seems pretty straightforward. Uses vehicle telematics, a couple clicks and one...
Have been looking at products to "up armor" the rear of my truck. Was dissatisfied with the fit of the "Go Rhino" bar. Trying the "VANGUARD VGPDB-1919BK Black Powdercoat Classic Double Layer Hitch Step" now. The included anti-rattle clip did not fit (same problem I had with the other bar)...
Dumb question. Too lazy to google or go down a Reddit rabbit-hole right now. I got one of those "Pixel Watch 2"'s with my Pixel 8 Pro purchase (the WiFi version, not the LTE version). Figured I'll probably gift it for Christmas since I never wear a watch. But -- can you lock and unlock truck...
Had my tires rotated up at the Gaithersburg (Maryland) SC yesterday, along with addressing a few other minor warranty items. 5,300 miles. Figured while I was going up there for other stuff I'd pay the $60 bucks to have that done, as well. Then blew my budget buying Rivian merch from the...
Some unwanted ish has come up and we may be finding ourselves in Central PA much sooner than we desired. Saw a lot of slow chargers but kind of a desert for faster ones. Any tips or suggestions? Anything obvious I'm missing?
Looks like about 42 miles one way to the one in Bloomsburg. Ouch.
