    Robocalls from Nationwide regarding renewal

    Thanks all. I reached out to Rivian Insurance earlier today. And this is the response I just got. Hope it could be of help to anyone experiencing similar calls now or in the future.

    Heavy Tailgate

    No matter. Still require complete redesign and rebuild of the rear end.

    I tried to connect my R1S to my friend's Tesla wall charger, but it's not working

    In English: The adapter is for fast charging at Tesla Supercharger ONLY (Level 3). Your friend's wall charger (Level 2) is NOT a Tesla Supercharger. Use Google and learn about Levels 1, 2 and 3 of electric vehicle charging.

    I tried to connect my R1S to my friend's Tesla wall charger, but it's not working

    Are you trolling? Your friend's Tesla wall charger is not a Direct Current Fast Charge (DCFC) charger. The adapter you posted is a NACS to J1772 DCFC adapter. It is meant only for adapting the Tesla Supercharger (a DCFC) to your J1772 ported EV. More elementary, what you did is to try to...

    Heavy Tailgate

    No. Not without a complete redesign of the rear. And if you do this you will no longer be able to transport a standard sized full sheets of plywood with gate down/open. Rivian designed the gate the way it is for this exact reason, to compensate for a short bed. Transporting a motorcycle in the...

    Brand new R1S is DEAD

    HV = High Voltage. The big main battery pack that drive the electric motors. The 12V, basically a regular car battery, keeps parts of the computer powered, enough to power bluetooth receivers and recognize your digital keys, and enough to boot up the all computer systems to operate the vehicle...

    Brand new R1S is DEAD

    It hasn't happened to many Rivian owners either. I can't help but notice the accusation that I'm making excuses for Rivian (again). Why do some people jump to this conclusion? I understand how it can be an emotionally charged subject. But we are all adults aren't we? Pointing fingers at me...

    Brand new R1S is DEAD

    Growing pains and early adopter life. Along same ilk, I suspect Rivian did not get best quality of goods/services and attention from suppliers when they negotiated there parts supply originally… for being new and small compared to legacy auto. We know from official statements, some by RJ...

    Heavy Tailgate

    Regular exercise. Tip: Arms out, left and right, elbows slightly bent but locked by muscle tension. Place fleshy palms under upper portion of tailgate (where sheet metal is beveled/folded and stronger), lift—with legs, if arm strength is lacking. Then, follow through (with arm strength) with...

    Brand new R1S is DEAD

    Search the topic and you would see this is not an isolated issue among Rivians, but also not majority. It is also not a Rivian specific problem among all EVs. The 12V supply power to the computers governing the car. High voltage pack supply power to the drive systems. The HV pack is supposed to...

    Robocalls from Nationwide regarding renewal

    I am up for renewal in July (already?!) and lately I keep getting a robocall claiming to be Nationewide and asking me to call a renewal specialist. Anyone of you on Nationwide experienced this? Scam or just aggressive sales pitch to try to get me to switch other policies to them?

    “I’ll be back”

    Ceramic > PPF. With PPF, at least the bug guts stick and stain PPF, not paint. Ceramic resist chemical bonding. So unless the worse happens, most debris should just hose right off. Ceramic + PPF is best of both worlds of course but $.

    Rivian cuts another 1% of workforce in new layoff (April 17, 2024)

    Without a time machine, there is only one way forward. AI has momentum. EVs, not as much as before. If auto loan interest rates were to fall, more affordable EV options become available and public charging infrastructure expansion [under IRA] actually get going... it could regain some momentum...

    Perfect. LOL

    Rivian cuts another 1% of workforce in new layoff (April 17, 2024)

    And that news is dragging all EV related stocks down. My advisor recommended gradual shedding of my remaining TSLA shares, to pivot to AI-related shares (among others). Tesla's board and how chummy it is with Musk, is probably the second biggest liability over there. Once the robo taxi is...

    Radar Detector hard wire, who has done it?

    All you guys who have successfully "adapted" non-Rivian Blendmount, please write Blendmount and let them know which one you bought and works. They've flat-out said they don't have anything that could work and doesn't have Rivian listed on their site.

    Are you a Ford dealer or just have so much $ you don't know what to do with it? wanna adopt me?

    AI guided and driven off-road tours... Hmm. What could go wrong? Adventure ahead, next 30 miles.
