    Is this normal? Motor temp skyrocketing

    Running the motors hot is a way to generate heat (in the absence of a heat pump) that can be used to warm the batteries quickly, making them charge more efficiently. See this thread for some detailed discussion: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/yikes-overheating-motors.20633/

    Rivian vs 2019 Tesla in 12F weather

    I also see no evidence of preconditioning with the charger plugged in but not charging. My R1T has been parked outside in cold temperatures (21-30˚F) for the past 24 hours. The battery temperature is currently 29˚F. EDIT: just to be clear, I do mean that the charger was plugged in during that...

    Software Update 2023.42.0 is out (⚠️ UPDATE: OTA fix rolling out today 11/15/23)

    I just installed 2023.42.1. It took about 70 minutes, and all looked fine initially. Then I noticed some "ghosting" of the left-most icon on the center display (like a second, slightly offset image of a different icon), and the navigation selections had very long delays. After a hard reset...

    Second Charger at vacation house

    Others have reported successfully pairing their phone with two Rivian Wall Chargers in different locations. e.g., https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/need-to-add-a-second-wall-charger-to-app.19052/post-397253

    Tire Wear

    This month a Rivian mobile tech delivered a spare wheel to my home. I noticed his front tires (20" ATs) were very new, while his rears looked fairly worn (though the wear was even). He explained that the service center had just replaced the fronts, after 46,000 miles in one year, while the...

    Full Size spare tire and wheel now available in Rivian Gear Shop!

    My order for a 20" AT spare wheel and tire assembly was invoiced at the confusing price of $883 (posted earlier in this thread), but I signed and accepted the invoice. Last night I received a new invoice, showing $1200! I called for an explanation and after a brief delay I received another...

    Full Size spare tire and wheel now available in Rivian Gear Shop!

    I hope it wasn't an error! I called to place my order yesterday and was told that once the order was submitted I would shortly get an invoice to approve electronically. I did not mention pre-March pricing while placing the order, because I presumed from the thread here that it wasn't going to...

    Full Size spare tire and wheel now available in Rivian Gear Shop!

    I just ordered a 20" AT spare tire and they scheduled mobile service delivery to my home in NH. The pricing was a pleasant surprise:

    Felt weird going for inspection.

    Here in New Hampshire all vehicles (including EVs) are required to undergo a state-mandated inspection at the initial point of sale, and annually thereafter at the dealership or at a state-approved service center. Because I picked up my R1T in Boston, it did not have the necessary NH state...

    “75% of R1T and R1S customers are new to EVs…” says Rivian

    My R1T is my first EV and first pickup, but for several reasons I am not surprised that so many of us fit that description. With the explosive growth in EV sales, it seems likely that for the next several years most buyers of most new EVs will be first time EV buyers. e.g., here's a quote from...

    Keysavvy anyone?

    I found this video when I was considering Plaid recently. The video was released a year ago, just after Plain settled a class action suit (https://www.plaidsettlement.com/). Although the video does touch on that settlement, the focus is more broadly on how Plaid connects financial institutions...

    Confirmed by Rivian: No more frunk 12v outlet going forward

    Posting yesterday to RIVIAN Electric Vehicles Discussion | R1T + R1S & Amazon EDV, Martin Bogomolni offered a more expansive account of the 12V socket delete. Bogomolni claimed (based on an exchange with Rivian's Director of Manufacturing) that Rivian: is installing just one 12V socket per...

    Phone as key issues

    Or look in the owner's manual for "Proximity Locking Away From Home". From the center display, choose Settings > Access > Proximity Locking and then choose "Away From Home". Note that you then have to remember to manually lock/unlock while at home, and you do have to enter your home...

    Phone as key issues

    @natemj - Sorry for the delayed feedback to this thread. Ultimately my resolution was the same as porkbelly's: I spent some time trying to get the problem fixed remotely before agreeing to bring my RT in for service. The SC was able to solve the problem fairly quickly in coordination with the...

    Did anyone get sent some swag from Rivian??

    I was slightly disappointed not to get any merch when my R1T was delivered, but three weeks later I received a package from Rivian with a beanie, a t-shirt, and a water bottle—all FG (like my truck). Before reading this thread I had presumed that this swag was what every owner receives. For...

    FOREST GREEN R1T Photos

    I was really attracted to the FE interior, but struggled with the choice for exterior color. For the first year I was thinking white, then flirted with limestone but worried about the match with FE. Compass Yellow seems to pair beautifully with FE, but I don't think it would pair so well with...

    Any Chance for Normal Door Handles and Proximity Keys?

    My main concern with the Rivian handles this winter arose as an unexpected result of turning off PAAK auto-locking at home. I park the truck outside without cover, and have now twice accidentally left the doors unlocked overnight and in the morning found that snow had wedged behind the handles...

    Rivian vs Tesla vs Frigidaire?! (Average annual electricity consumption)

    And yet the EPA thought it was valuable to introduce the notion of MPGe. Clearly they see some educational value in the comparison, even if you can't simply empty the gas tank and convert it to equivalent electrical energy.

    Rivian vs Tesla vs Frigidaire?! (Average annual electricity consumption)

    Exactly. So the more relevant comparison is the energy equivalent usage of a gasoline-fueled vehicle of the same class. e.g., the EPA-estimated fuel consumption of the popular 3L 6-cyl version of the F150 is 20 mpg city/hwy. Driving the national average 14263 miles/year, that F150 would burn...

    NH deliveries from Boston SC..

    I picked up my R1T last month from the Boston SC. NH is one of the few states where the buyer is responsible for arranging title and registration, and that made the delivery process really simple. The truck had Illinois temporary plates, and I was able to prearrange car insurance based on the...
