There is definitely orange mixed in with the red. it Looks totally different in bight sun, on overcast days, and in lowlight at dusk. On the first day I showed up at work, within two hours, there was an email on the EV mailing list at work asking, “who has the new burnt orange Rivian making...

I have Connect+ and an update or two ago, I was waiting for the software update to get pushed. I did a Software Restart (outer buttons on the steering wheel) while parked in the garage with wi-fi access and the new update was offered within an hour after completing the software restart. That may...

Nice weekend to see Doc (one of the two B-29 bombers in flying condition) overhead! https://www.b29doc.com/

Like @VandalSibs suggested, I really like the route of the Tesla Mobile Connector and the proper pigtail to automatically set the charging amperage. Slightly more expensive than the cheapest route, but it's definitely the easiest setup out there. In addition to the 5-15 adapter that comes with...

Note that the icon on the Apple Watch notification is a round icon instead of a square (technically, a squircle or squared circle). The round icon on the notification signifies it came from a native Apple Watch application. The square/squircle icons signify that the notification came from an...

nNah, that’s just a protective cover used during assembly to prevent damage to body panels. You’ll see them on many auto factory shots.

I remember taking an iPhone 3GS to Oshkosh, WI for AirVenture back in 2009 and 2010. Like your game day event, this event would have 100,000 people within about a 2 square mile area. Everyone on vacation trying to communicate and it totally crushed the AT&T network back then. Internet services...

Love these ones with the electric toys in the bed and on trailers!

I messed up on picking up one of the Badland off road jacks. I missed the sales that had previously happened with it priced below $300. As I remember, the regular price was $319. Now, they have it listed for $399, possibly due to the tariffs. I shoulda jumped on it when it was priced around...

Looking at my purchase agreement from Sep 2024 on a demo 2022 R1T, I see the following items: Vehicle: (as quoted on the web site) Destination Fee: $1,800 Documentation Fee/ Dealer Preparation Fee: $347 Sales Tax: (location specific) License/Registration: (location specific) I had horrendous...

You could see if they'll sell you the wing nut and stud from the official spare tire kit. This was from the invoice last fall on my R1T. As mentioned, even without the hold down stud, the tire probably isn't going anywhere.

Work related or did you just toss it in a swimming pool for a cool effect at a pool party? :)

The acceleration can mess with your inner ear a little. Maybe you’re interpreting a little vertigo as feeling like you’ll pass out. I have an Ariel Atom (same as in the video @Riviot posted), which does the same 0-60 in 3 seconds acceleration that a quad R1T can do. Oddly, accelerating in the...

Your trip meters don't tell the whole story. Like Tesla, they don't seem to account for vampire drain when the vehicle is off or charging inefficiencies. I have a power/energy monitor on my home EVSE and track all charging sessions away from home as well. Based off the trip meter on the...

When I had the R1T set for the crow lock sound leading up to Halloween, I remember the crows in the parking lots of stores seeming to respond to truck’s lock sound. I don’t think I ever did repeated lock sounds, so didn’t get the chance to piss them off as well, but it was fun hearing them...

The message says “key fob unknown version” and something like “keep in range to update”. It displays that anytime the key fob isn’t in range. Bring the fob in range and it can tell that the firmware is current. This makes people think the firmware is out of date, but Rivian is not updating the...

Page 196 of the R1T Owner's Guide:

I was beginning to wonder if I would get my adapter. I was trying to be a good boy and not pester them about it, but think I almost missed out on the complimentary one. 2024-09-0x - Received my demo R1T 2024-10-24 - Receive the opt-in email and immediately followed the link (radio silence)...

Living in Kansas, this doesn't directly have any impact on me, but I hate how laws and bills are presented. It took WAY TOO LONG to parse and understand that a No vote means penalties for violators and a Yes vote means NO penalties for violators. Ugh!!! HB 1556...

I kind of like the look of that render. While it's a more traditional looking vehicle, and possibly not going to be as decisive on looks alone, that's only addressing one of the many issues with the vehicle.
