Lebanon, NH update: According to the charging map on rivian.com, the site is live! The app doesnāt seem to say it is though. But Iām taking this as a sign that itās either live or about to be! Anyone near by want to try it out?
This guy seems pretty smart and seems to say you should do frequent small charges if possible. Iāll let you decide how much stock to put in to YouTubers recommendations.
My money is still on 800v _charging_ within a 400v architecture. In a sort of split pack configuration like Hummer EV and cybertruck.
Why? Partially because I think itās strange that they wouldnāt just say it has 400v outright. Partially because Iām just hoping it to be true. And mostly because...
Iām sure itās been posted, but having trouble finding it, so hereās the steps:
Turn on service mode from your settings menu (I think in the āsystemā area). Tap top menu bar 5 times, swipe up on app launcher to find the RiDE icon, tap 5 times on the Thomas Edison quote, then enter code 33748...
Update on RAN in Holyoke, MA:
Not much done since last time. Area for dispensers are blocked off, but havenāt broken ground on them. The platforms for the transformer and switchgear are done. I donāt see any equipment on site yet. I was hoping for more progress, but ?āāļø.
I had a mobile service appointment today and got to chatting up the tech. He shared some interesting items, that he called āinternal rumorsā that I figured this community would be interested in hearing,
Iāll state the obvious: this should all be taken with a large grain of salt, but Iāll let...
Had mobile service come by today (Iām in Fairfield). Asked him about the timing of Shelton. He heard they were targeting 12-16 weeks from the start of construction, which appears to have started at least a few weeks ago. He didnāt know if things were still on track or not. But that would put us...
Yes, still available. I donāt know about shipping as I donāt have a box for it at the moment. Where in NY are you? Maybe we could meet to exchange it if youāre interested.
Yep. ACM-LS2 ?āāļø
Am at 95% SOH Pack at 10k miles. From the responses so far it seems like thatās within normal range? So much data with so little context. I love it! ?
While I personally like one pedal driving, I completely agree with you that the inconsistency in one pedal driving when itās cold is material and not good.
While some have explained the reason why regen breaking isnāt available in the cold, there is still a choice rivian has made on how users...
I am selling a used RMaxx Soft Tonneau Roll-up Bed Cover. Iāve had it since April and itās worked great. The reason Iām selling is that I wanted a hard cover.

Mine appears drivable (goes in to gear) but the center screen oscillates between black and the rivian logo. Hereās to hoping we donāt ārequire physical repairā. ?
I agree. I also think Iāve seen the riv hold 200kw+ up until about 50%. Makes me think theyāre still leaving a lot on the table by de-rating early (in my case above at around 32%) likely due to thermals as I canāt think of anything else that would cause it (anyone else know of another reason?)...
Hey all. I hope you are doing well and enjoying your Rivians (or eagerly awaiting them). i know I'm enjoying mine!
In the 2023.30. release Rivian indicated that they improved the thermals to improve the overall charging times. The exact release note was:
Improved DC fast charging speed, by up...
I would think so, if you use it as a temporary spare. Donut spares are a different wheel/tire size, at least your 21 with tire would end up being the same or very close to the same size as whatever you end up with.
As far as which actual wheel/tire to get, I donāt have much advice to give. I...
Me too. There seems to be a bunch of articles that indicate theyāre permanent magnet motors. Here is one from car and driver (listed under the specifications section): https://www.caranddriver.com/rivian/r1t-2022
Interesting that there is conflicting information out there. But Iām guessing...
