  1. $130/yr ($150/yr in a few years) annual federal fee for EV drivers

    This is complete bullshit. We are already paying Montana $190 per year for each of our EVs. Ridiculous that EVs have become so political. How much electricity do you think the orange douche's ballroom will consume? Might just skip our renewals and take our chances with the smokies.
  2. New Qi2 Wireless Charging Pad parts for R1 now available to order for retrofit

    We don't use the wireless chargers on our G2. Heats up the phone and doesn't charge well. We just snake a USB cable out from the console. I have the EVsportline Magsafe charger but for some reason haven't been using it. I guess I forget it's there.
  3. Center Console Buttons Wonky?

    I agree. Thought they were defective on our '25 R1S then figured out they require a hard press.
  4. Why is the R1S so cramped?

    Our R1S is our road trip car. Just the two of us and the pup. Forgot we even had a third row. The R1S holds tons of cargo with the rear under storage and frunk. We used to make our trips in 3/4 trucks then a Ford Lightning and the R1S seems to hold just as much cargo. Haven't spent any time...
  5. Are There Alternatives to Rivian Level2 Charger?

    If we didn't already have two L2 chargers in the garage I'd buy the Tesla universal charger. As much as I hate giving muskrat any money that charger can do a lot, especially for a two ev household. If I ever find a great deal on a used one I'll just slap a sticker on it so I'm not reminded of...
  6. Now that calibration is done, can LFP batteries safely go below 20%

    Not for us. Our road trips are over 2,500 miles round trip through WY and MT. Max pack for us. If winds are strong have to charge to 95% sometimes.
  7. 2026.07.0 update again (same version, different build)

    On our '25 with premium audio this update has improved Apple Music when spatial audio is enabled. Some songs still won't play but it doesn't freeze up anymore. Sound is fantastic.
  8. Would Rivian's touch up paint fix this scratch?

    Our Storm Blue touched up perfectly when the service center got a little too aggressive on our passenger door alignment. Colors with the metallic fleck don't match as well but once you get it filled and leveled shouldn't be too noticeable.
  9. Anyone have experience with the Cadillac Lyriq?

    Yeah if I'm making repeated trips to get stuff out of the truck with a door open the blind spot monitors go crazy beeping. I think the summer interns wrote the software for the Ultium platform :CWL: And I think the culture at GM is way too conservative and hierarchy based to ever give us pet...
  10. Anyone have experience with the Cadillac Lyriq?

    We own a '26 Sierra EV AT4. The platform and hardware are solid. The software is horrendous. If we didn't also have a Rivian maybe it wouldn't be so frustrating. Every time I get in the truck only to discover my key fob is in the kitchen drawer I start cussing like a drunk sailor. The Lyriq...
  11. Any news on a new OTA software update?

    Nothing. I'm having a hard time justifying paying $2,500 for ADS without some new features.
  12. Most Apple Music songs won't play on G2 with latest software

    Turned off Spatial Audio on the Apple Music setting on the R1S and it works fine now. If I turn Spatial Audio back on problem reappears within a minute or so. Also, I don't see the ATMOS indication on the player like we did briefly last night. Oh well. Apple Music doesn't allow switching...
  13. Apple Music Playlist Issue

    This is the exact same problem we are having with both of our Apple Music accounts. Soft, hard resets any many logouts haven't worked. I've read deleting profiles might work but that's my last resort. We can tell Apple Music sounds a little better on the Rivian than Spotify and it's certainly...
  14. Most Apple Music songs won't play on G2 with latest software

    Soft reset didn't work. Going to try hard reset before I start deleting profiles. This is frustrating.
  15. Most Apple Music songs won't play on G2 with latest software

    Before I reset our user profiles I thought I'd check if anyone has an easier fix. Many of the songs on the built in Apple Music app simply won't play. Seems to be a common problem going back a couple of years. Spotify works perfectly.
  16. Amended 2022 binding contract

    Slightly off topic but we forgot to include some solar panels I bought in December on our '25 return. Intend to file an amended return after we get our refund check. Can we just have them apply the $600ish credit from the amended return towards our '26 tax liability? Might that speed things up...
  17. 30 amp campground charging question

    The one that almost fried my Lightning charger was a private campground with older pedestals. After the smoke cleared,I discovered that the 50a breaker was also feeding the 50a pedestal next door. My neighbor had his AC cranked and so did I. Lightning was charging at 30a. 50a breaker didn't...
  18. 30 amp campground charging question

    Ford most likely could have done it with a software update. But for whatever reason Ford and GM don't give a rat's ass about software. Our Sierra EV can be adjusted to either 8 or 12 amps or left at full current. No 24a setting. Obviously, the software guys at Ford and GM don't know anything...
  19. 30 amp campground charging question

    Neither the Lightning nor the MachE have adjustable AC charging current. I had my Lightning Lariat ER for two years before I lemoned it back to Ford. Lots of bitching and moaning about it on the respective forums. The charger included with the Lightning draws 30 amps. For some reason the...
  20. 30 amp campground charging question

    IMHO every EV should be required to have adjustable charging current. I smoked a campground 50a hookup charging my Lightning ER with the charger that came with it. If I hadn't noticed the smoke I think it would have caught on fire. No idea why the 50a breaker didn't trip.
