    iPhone stand by mode feature

    I just got my charging plug installed in my carport and last night was the inaugural charge on the new plug. I also had to charge my iPhone. I have stand by mode active, so when charging i have an easy way to check time at night. Last night I noticed a new addition to the stand by screen. When...

    A month with my R1T

    I am sure I will get many negative comments about this post, but it is my opinion and your are welcome to your opinion about Rivian and the entire process. I am enjoying my truck. It is nice not to have to stop for gas, but until I get my home charger installed this week, it has taken some...

    1st charge

    I got my truck less than a week ago and don't have a way to charge at home yet except a 120 outlet. We have a DCFC associated with our local utility and CharePoint that is close that I charged at today. I set the charger as a destination and saw the message of pre-conditioning. When I got to the...

    R1T at the house

    After many starts and stops, I picked up my 2023 R1T on Thursday. I was able to secure a 3 year lease of a quad motor. I can safely say leading up to the actually pick up was pretty intense and those that waited years I applaud you, I don’t think I could have stuck it out. The Franklin SC was...

    Status change to lurker

    Not that anyone cares, but I will be less active. My lease/purchase of a Rivian fell through at the last minute due to undisclosed payment amount on the lease. If anyone wants more info, I will type it out. This is a very knowledgeable and friendly group. I am sorry that I was not able to join...

    Interesting VIN information

    I just learned something interesting (to me at least). I have had 4 different VINs since I have been trying to purchase a truck. The next to last one was supposed to be transferred, but was stuck in San Francisco for over a week waiting on transport. When I found out it hadn't even been...

    Predicted range

    I know there are many things that influence range on EVs, but the engineer in me wants to have a number to aim for. I am picking up my R1T (PDM, Standard +) on 3/28. I hope that it will have at least an 80% charge, is that a good assumption? If it is 80% should I see about 252 mile range?

    Transfer between Service Centers

    I have been told there is a vehicle like I want at the Atlanta SC. I live in Middle TN near the Franklin SC. How long should a transfer like this take?

    Tracking efficiency

    So I have tracked the efficiency of my gas vehicles for as long as I have owned one (1987). I am trying to figure out the best way to do that on an EV. I realize the vehicle will do that for you, but many of my gas vehicles would do that and that were overly optimistic. I guess as long as I...

    Lease/buy before the production stop?

    I wanted to get the opinion of the collected wisdom here on the subject. i have a demo scheduled on Tuesday for an R1T. I have been watching them for a while, but several things held me back. I am now pretty serious about getting one, but I am not sure about timing. My preference is to lease...

    Change CCS to NACS port?

    I searched a little for this, but wasn’t sure exactly what to search for. How much effort, how expensive would it be to take the current charging port out of the Rivian and replace it with an NACS port?
