  2. New Gen 2 Rivian review video by Out of Spec

    He wears out his welcome after 30 minutes in each of his posts. He is the only one who can manage to cram 5 minutes of information into 60.
  3. Bay Area to Tahoe on a single charge in winter?

    Plan for the splash and dash in Sacramento. Better to stop and not need it then do not stop and then need it.
  4. Rivian now charging $.68 per kwh

    One last thing to warn you about if you go ahead and activate the Tesla membership: You only get the membership price if you start the charge from within the Tesla app. You CAN pull up, and plug in, and your Rivian will begin to charge on a plug-in play basis. BUT if you start your charge like...
  5. Rivian now charging $.68 per kwh

    One of the nice things about the Tesla website is that you can easily start and stop those subscriptions and memberships. When you know you’re going to travel, pay the $12.99 for a month and when you know you’re not gonna travel for a while and therefore will not need a supercharger, cancel the...
  6. Rivian now charging $.68 per kwh

    At $12.99 for the month, payoff is about 100 kW or so. That’s about 1.5 good road trip charges.
  7. Rivian now charging $.68 per kwh

    Rivian could easily incorporate membership pricing into their plus program.
  8. iOS app v2.19.1 update available

    Rivian iOS v2.19.1 dropped this morning. This is usually a precursor to a firmware update in the next few weeks.
  9. Rivian plug and charge ?s

    To get the discounted tesla rate, you’ve got to first opt in at $12.99/month and then initiate the charge through the tesla app. (You *CAN* plug and play but you will pay the full tesla SC rate.) The discounted subscription of $12.99 generally breaks even at 100kW or so.
  10. Rivian charging at a Tesla Supercharger

    All SC costs are listed at standard rate. The subscription discount comes off of the listed pricing.
  11. Rivian charging at a Tesla Supercharger

    Yep. IIRC, the pricing *does not* reflect the subscription price reduction. Scout out the possible SC stations because some are priced cheaper than others
  12. Rivian charging at a Tesla Supercharger

    Buying the monthly subscription from Tesla costs $12.99 and payoff is about 105kW. You can start and stop the subscription at any time. It is worth the money if you plan to use the SC at all. Tesla app is very informative
  13. Atlanta Service Center, What’s Going On?

    I’ve had my T for 2.5 years and nearly 48k miles now and it has been to the ATL SC three times in that span. I have to say that my experience has been nothing but positive. However, I’m very pleased that the Duncan, SC, center is now open. That 3 hour drive to the north side of ATL (and back) is...
  14. iOS App v2.18.0 and Android 2.18 Released

    New version refers to 2024.51 so we can probably expect updated vehicle software in 10-14 days. Updates (posted by @SadHill)
  15. Rivian charging at a Tesla Supercharger

    If at all possible, i choose the rightmost charger because i can charge without taking two spaces. Some SC locations have parking on both sides of the chargers which is handy.
  16. New Service Centers in the works for NC and SC…

    Duncan SC is showing as open on Rivian.com now. Mobile service tech confirmed that service appointments were being made for 2025. No offense, but good-bye to Atlanta. I won’t miss that 3-hour slog down and back.
  17. My first-ever EV Road Trip! - Long post!

    First set of G1 R1T Q 21” tires were driven many, many miles on conserve/lowest and said tires lasted all of 17.6k miles. Got new tires and an alignment at my local tire shop at the low setting. Second set of 21” are at 42.6k miles after, again, many, many highway miles on conserve/low and they...
  18. Article: Charging The Electric Rivian R1S Was More Expensive Than Filling Up Some Notorious Gas Guzzlers

    The way I look at it is this: I specifically choose hotels with free charging and choose to spend my money there so the charge I get is probably included in the room rate. Like the "free" breakfast.
  19. Article: Charging The Electric Rivian R1S Was More Expensive Than Filling Up Some Notorious Gas Guzzlers

    Yep, I20 and I40 through there is a charging desert. (There are a few Tesla SC's scattered but they're mostly v2 and not useable for us.) FYI, the I20 route is about 50 miles farther than using I65 and I65 has several useable SC's. The Crowne Plaza in Baton Rouge is about a full day's drive west...
