Susan and I went into Montpelier last night for dinner at Hugo's. We were excited to be the third Rivian to park within sight of each other. Ours is the dark one. The third one is behind mine across the street. I still get stupid excited when I see another Rivian on the road.

Last night Susan and I went into Montpelier for dinner at Hugo's. When we parked out front we were excited to be the third R1T to park within sight of each other. Ours is the dark one. The third one is across the street behind mine. I still get stupid excited when I see another Rivian on the road.

I just failed inspection in VT and am heading to Chelsea for brake work this week. The service center person said they are having this trouble in northern New England. It seems they could, at some interval, via an over-the-air update, use the actual brakes as opposed to regen, as they do now if...

@AdamEk, I check the outside surface of the rotors from time to time because I primarily use regen for braking. All of the outward-facing rotor surfaces look good, and according to the inspection, only one of the inward-facing rotor surfaces looks bad, suggesting that it's not normal wear and...

Failed VT State Inspection at 1 year/20k miles. The inner face of the right rear brake rotor is rusty, which is a reason to fail vehicle inspection. The inspection was done at VT Tire and Service in Montpelier. Chelsea Service Center has me slotted in this week, but suggests this is not a...

Did this go already?

I'm on Version 2023.50.01 in a 2023 R1T and using Android App version 2.5.1 on a Pixel 8 Pro phone. Sometimes preconditioning works and sometimes it doesn't. I've only attempted it while plugged in, so that's not the issue. I thought maybe it was only working when I set the schedule on the dash...

If this was a dream it'd have Android Auto. It does have everything else on my list though. Very excited for scheduled preconditioning!

I think it's because I'm stupidly excited and happy with my R1T that I wave like a teenager when I see another Rivian. The lack of reaction has bummed me out. Is your Rivian really just another vehicle? Are you really too cool for giddy excitement? Am I still just as big a geek as ever? Oh well...

I wanted to send an update to the group regarding this episode. I picked my truck up on Saturday, October 21. They'd had it ready since Thursday, but I couldn't drive down until Saturday. They'd replaced the 12 V batteries, the HV battery, and a central gateway module. Rivian said they can't...

I've had a way better experience at the EA location at Rockingham Park Mall EA location. It's a bit south of Manchester. PlugShare also rates it well.

I'm unaware of the dash cam running during charging stops, and until the car is serviced I don't have easy access to the memory stick to check.

I got a call from EA yesterday, suggesting there is a process for being reimbursed for expenses incurred as a result of this incident. They did provide the caveat that compensation could be denied. The call was friendly and informative. So far customer service from both EA and Rivian has been...

I just want to add that the Rivian support person who picked up when I called in with the app was fantastic. Abby got me sorted with Uber credits so I could pick up my dad, Uber to Mass General, then Uber to the service center after his appointment. He was only a few minutes late and no one even...

I can't swear where the bang was from. I was sitting in the car practicing German on my phone. All I know for sure is the first place my eyes were drawn to was the charging kiosk, which is where I saw the flash.

When I was on the phone with the EA support line, the person I was speaking with basically described to me what I had experienced, leaving me with the feeling that it was a thing. No offer to help, but I'm hoping that Rivian and EA sort it out. I'll keep you posted.

This morning, I was driving down from Vermont to pick my Dad up in Manchester, NH, and take him down to Mass General for an appointment. I drove down to Manchester early so I could charge to be able to get him down to Boston and back without needing to stop. At the Electrify America charging...

I'd love the extra range, but am still digging the dark 20" wheels with the factory AT tires. They look great, and I don't notice the noise. In the words of Billy Crystal imitating Fernando Lamas, "It's not how you feel it's how you look, and darling, the 20s look marvelous."

This is my experience for the last month, but for the 6 months prior it worked much better. I'm not sure if they've done something in their battle against phantom drain that is making PAAK less responsive.
