I have both the Juicebox and the Rivian chargers in my garage. I like the Rivian charger for the R1S because you don't need any extra features in the charger itself. The Rivian UI is good and takes care of all of the scheduling, etc, features. My wife has an Audi etron and the UI in the car for...
I have a Linear garage door with rolling codes. It took me a while to get it to work. I finally tried holding the remote button down for about 5 seconds next to the mirror before pressing the
Pair button on the screen. After two or three failed attempts, it finally worked. Pressing Pair and...
I scheduled a service appointment in mid-October to have this looked at also. It's not a major problem, so it's no big deal to wait a bit to get it fixed. Would love to hear your outcome if you get it in to be checked out sooner.
It took a couple days to get my R1S shipped from Normal to the Bay Area, and they were able to prep it at the service center in 2 days because I needed to pick it up before going on a vacation. It can be pretty quick if they don't find any major issues to fix.
The ROI on a solar system is typically 7-8 years. Mine will have a positive return in about 8 years according to my calculations. It does depend on what your local energy cost is, of course. And since ours is relatively high compared to other places the return is quicker.
My Land Rover LR4 (an equivalent to the R1S ICE vehicle) cost me ~$100/tank to fill (~300 mile range per tank). At off-peak charging rate of $0.26/kWh, the Rivian costs $35/charge (~300 miles range). This is the bay area, so both gas prices and electricity rates are high. But it's still a 1/3 of...
Agree. Let's not overthink this. It's not clinical research. IRB is complete overkill. Don't fill out the survey if you don't want to have your responses recorded.
I like the direction Rivian is going with the home-grown navigation system. I like that they bought ABRP and are integrating it deeply into the system. I like that the core navigation system has a route finder and explicit features that help you find chargers along the route that are based on...
My question too - the core use case I have is to have the 3rd row seats down and the desire to put wet things in the back without risk of leaking into the cargo area or carpet. For example, I would put ski boots back there pretty often in the winter. It would need to be one piece that covers the...
Anyone else have this issue? I was trying out my Rivian for camping this weekend. Auto-leveling worked great and made it for comfortable. Exped mattress fits perfectly and is comfortable. It was hot outside, so the inside of the Rivian was getting too hot, and my breath was causing fogging of...
@LinerX I would also be interested in a liner for 3rd row down. And please design it without the tailgate flap. I had to fold that under on the existing cargo liner.
I bought the Rivian mats for my R1S and love them. They are soft rubber and fit very well. However, when I initially ordered them, Rivian sent me the R1T mats by mistake. Those are hard plastic and not as good of a feel on the feet. Not sure why they used different material in the R1S vs R1T...
Not sure how a comparison of a Model X and a Rivian R1S is relevant. The Tesla is a street car and the Rivian is a truck meant for off-road adventures. Of course they're different. I have driven both and vastly prefer the Rivian.
