  1. Rivian email "How to self-register your Rivian": Does this mean I’m close?

    I just received the same email even though I've already taken delivery and have registered my R1T. They may have sent it to everyone.
  2. Denver RSC RE-torque Completed 10 min

    These were the hours I was told. Hi ____! You can go to the Denver Service Center Mon-Fri 8AM-8PM, Sat 8AM - 5PM, Sun 9AM-4PM OR you can reach out to us at 18557484265 I went by around noon today. 10 minute turn around.
  3. Unable to Fast Charge (Level 3)

    The older EA plugs can be loose when connecting to the vehicle. Try putting pressure on plug after plugging in and wait a minute or two to see if charging starts. I've had to do this in the past on other EVs.
  4. How prevalent are these issues?

    94XX VIN None of the issues above.
  5. There is no icing a Rivian

    I thought that's what the Off-road Recovery Kit tow straps are for?
  6. Benz EQS SUV - 7 seater

    Here are some pictures from the route planning in the app. I really wish other automakers would do something similar.
  7. Benz EQS SUV - 7 seater

    The EQS phone app might be the best yet. Better than Rivian's, way better than Porsche, Audi, or Polestar, and I think possibly even better than Tesla. It's really fast, has great notification settings, you are able to control many functions on the vehicle, see where the vehicle is live on a...
  8. Electric vehicles catching fire in Florida after Hurricane Ian

    Yeah that article seems to have a different motive: "However, critics have blasted the administration for giving a "false impression" about EVs, noting that they are expensive and often unreliable. "[The EV push] is really kind of a con job," Myron Ebell, the director of the Competitive...
  9. Electric vehicles catching fire in Florida after Hurricane Ian

    ICE vehicles have plenty of electrical and fuel connections that will corrode if submerged in salt water. They definitely have a fire risk under the same extreme condition. https://www.autoweek.com/news/a1710801/saltwater-carbecue-hundreds-cars-including-brand-new-maseratis-burn-italian-port/
  10. Electric vehicles catching fire in Florida after Hurricane Ian

    The article shows evidence of one vehicle (Model X) catching fire. Is this really a problem or just a BS story from the Post? The vehicle in the photo doesn't even look like it was flooded. Could just be a random Tesla fire (which has happened). Edit: Also ICE vehicles can corrode and catch...
  11. Ford raises F150 Lightning price for second time in just two months

    Only for the base Pro model. It looks like the higher trims didn't go up in price.
  12. [UPDATES IN NEW THREAD] Tow to Rivian Service Centers is now a Charged Fee (as of 10/6/22) ?

    We need clarification on if they will tow your vehicle for free if unable to drive the vehicle because of a warranty issue. This is very different compared to charging a fee to have your operable vehicle that needs a repair towed to the service center because you don't want to drive it the 200...
  13. R1S Body Gaps - Your Input

    The roof line looks particularly bad. I would ask to have that fixed. The hood is similar to mine and I'm letting it go. It's a truck and I have other things to worry about like my wife scratching the rear fender loading her mountain bike. :mad:
  14. My (unfortunate) Rivian Story. In Shop For a Month and Counting

    Considering the second drive unit failure was due to a firmware issue, and didn't occur after they returned the truck, I would wait at this point. Waiting a couple of months for repairs in the current environment is very common. If you plan on keeping the truck past the warranty, then I would...
  15. Benz EQS SUV - 7 seater

    I get the looks are subjective, however my spec which was fairly well equipped was $120k out the door. That's $4k less than a bare bones 7-seater Model X. My kids absolutely love the interior. They already think it's the coolest vehicle we've owned. Don't knock it until you actually spend some...
  16. Benz EQS SUV - 7 seater

    I'll post some efficiency numbers once we get a chance to drive it a bit. We originally were going to take the R1T to Phoenix over Thanksgiving to visit my parents, but now we might be taking the EQS. That will be a great test of the range and charging speeds. I've also sent an email to Kyle...
  17. Benz EQS SUV - 7 seater

    Thanks. The EQS looks fairly plain which I don't mind. I really don't want a flashy car. I'm sure it will draw a lot less attention compared to our R1T. It looks much better in person and is a lot bigger than expected. It's actually longer than the R1S.
  18. Getting terrible efficiency numbers

    The trip computer includes vampire drain. I did a coupe of tests by resetting the computer and then accumulating a couple of miles. Overnight the trip computer would add the vampire drain to the energy used and my efficiency would tank. So if you are driving a low number of miles each day, it...
  19. Benz EQS SUV - 7 seater

    It's only 3500lbs in the 5-seater (7 seater doesn't offer the tow package). So not that great.
