We haven't taken many trips, but here's what we have so far:
1. My wife got 1.55mi/kWh on a 56-mile route (plus a ferry ride in the middle) where speeds varied from 35-60mph. It was lower 60's with a tiny bit of rain. Very little elevation change.
2. We got 1.51 on a 136-mile round-trip over a...
You can look up your census tract HERE. Enter your address, then look for GEOID under "Census Tracts". If that 11-digit number is in the IRS' Appendix A or B (one for rural tracts, one for low income - see HERE) then you can take the credit. Mine isn't; too bad as I installed two EVSEs in...
I'm afraid I'm way behind in this competition with my R1S...my score would only be 21%.
If we were doing this a decade ago, I would be faring better (funny how I was better at almost everything a decade ago). We had a 2012 Model S that we took to Death Valley Badwater Basin in Jan 2013 (during...
I apologize for a long, boring and somewhat off-topic post (so feel free to skip it), but I think it's helpful to understand why Rivian can't sell directly in WA, as that makes the lease and purchase process more difficult for us.
I agree with the first sentence quoted above, but not the...
Seven months ago I scheduled an appointment at Bellevue, and the first opening was 4.5 months away. Based on our two data points, it sounds like the waits are getting shorter...
But yeah, still not short enough. I love my R1S but I'm not recommending friends or family buy one until these wait...
Thanks for the info - for I too have a Launch Edition R1S and have considered trading it in for a max pack...but Rivian won't give me a trade-in value unless I buy the new car first.
That quote is making me want to stick with my current vehicle.
I'm in Washington, which has such a credit...
My experience is much like Rivian Head's.
We had a 2017 X for 6 years (and then sold it to friends; no issues other than the half-shafts), and recently got a 2023 X. We also have a 2023 R1S.
The 2017 X had a few issues over the years (more than any of our other Teslas, which have generally...
The captive pin of the Mach2 does indeed fit into the hole in the Rivian receiver when the rack is pushed all of the way in.
(However, the Mach2's pin is not designed to go all the way in to the hole in the rack; it just goes in to the receiver to make sure the rack can't slip backwards. As...
I have a Quikrstuff Quik Rack Mach 2. Details:

Got mine in June. There were 3 very minor issues at delivery. They took care of all of them at one service appointment, and everything else about the car has been great.
I am perfectly happy with the car...only unhappy at how long it takes to get a service appointment. But I know Rivian is...
I had a similar issue where I tried the 120V adapter first and then had a heck of a time removing it. I didn't find any tricks, I just pulled on it hard enough that I was afraid something might break.
I have since put in the 240V adapter and pulled it out, and that wasn't as bad - I don't know...
Thanks for sharing; I'd love to see more EV owners filling those out too. But...
I don't think the link is meant to be shared (I assume because they are trying to randomize the sample, as opposed to getting the largest number of responses). I just tried it, and it says I have already filled out...
Recap: I got my R1S on June 8. On June 17 I tried to use my 120V outlets and...they wouldn't turn on. No error message; just nothing. I submitted a ticket, and 3 weeks later I created this thread.
It is now fixed. My issue was "damaged pin on HV harness". The fix was "Harness, HV, HVAC Heater -...
Good to know; thanks for the update.
FWIW I got my Tesla Universal charger a couple of weeks ago, and it worked fine on my...Hyundai Kona rental - my R1S was in the shop.
I just got the R1S back today, and it charged just fine the first time too. (Both the R1S and the Kona will start with a...
I recently had a couple of Tesla chargers installed. The electrician was very pleased; he says they are the best-designed for installation (and they've worked very well for me long-term at previous houses). My Rivian was not in the garage so this was by chance, but he volunteered that Rivian...
