  1. Incompatible Tesla v3 Superchargers. Has anyone tried it anyway?

    Has anyone attempted to charge a v3 Tesla Supercharger that is not listed as compatible? I anticipate it won't work, but haven't seen any reports confirming that yet. I travel to western Long Island, NY often and before our R1S arrived our Model 3 was the "trip car". The addition of the v3...
  2. First row seat BACK protectors?

    I have little ones too, and went with Owley's kick protectors. To me they look quite nice, and don't look terribly out of place in the Rivian. They've taken a beating from my kids and look no worse for wear. https://owleys.com/car-seat-back-protector-kick-mat-hexy-black/
  3. The great Chicago Tesla debacle has defeated my father in-law's Rivian ideas... [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Inside EV did a bit of actual investigation into the widely reported story out of chicago https://insideevs.com/news/705057/chicago-tesla-stranded-ev-charging/
  4. Poll: How many service center visits did your R1 require in the first year of ownership?

    I voted for 3, for 5 weeks of total time at the SC. Only had my R1S for 5 months, all for trim, or fit, finish, and rattles. Items the vehicle should have never been delivered with, but it was completely drivable the whole time. Overall my Christmas wish came true, my vehicle is finally...
  5. Best stereo sound settings -- post yours!

    You can add me to the list of R1S non meridian sounds system owners that are generally let down by the sound system. There was another thread talking about a TSB on replacing the amp on R1S's to "provide more power to the rear speakers". If true, would seem to suggest they used the same amps...
  6. Suspension Squeaking - Is This Normal? [Video Clip]

    Agreed, that is fantastic news. My 9XXX VIN R1S sounds like the same thing and its my biggest frustration with the vehicle. I have a mid November service apt and will be adding this officially to the list. Are there any details, a reference number or anything, on the service bulletin to guide...
  7. Audi SQ8 starting at $89,800 - Tri motor - 0-60 in 4.2 seconds

    I've been following the upcoming Q6 (not Q8) etron, that is supposed to be a 800v system and the first of a whole range of cars based on this platform (PPE). This SQ8 would check most of the boxes for me, but the lack of 7 seats is a deal breaker for my situation. Looks nice though, if I...
  8. Anyone charged at a Tesla Supercharging station?

    Agreed, the only Tesla SCs that work with CCS cars, currently, are the ones with the "magic dock". They're aren't many of them, and unlikely (IMHO) to be many more with manufacturers switching to the NACS plug (previously known as the Tesla plug) and the promise of adapters for current owners...
  9. Anyone charged at a Tesla Supercharging station?

    Why? There aren't many v1's left and Tesla has been adding so many v3's (and I assume v4's) and even upgrading v2's. V3's used to be rare (2 years ago or so?) But they're widely deployed now. Check out https://supercharge.info/map and filter for 250kW or more for v3+v4. There are a lot of...
  10. Using Rally Mode on-road

    Is THAT what it does?! Very interesting. I recently started experimenting and driving in Rally Mode more and definitely found an offramp much more unsettling than usual. I am visiting family on Long Island and these entrance/exit ramps are terrible in general so can't rule that out either. So...
  11. Tesla Created Secret Team to Suppress Thousands of Driving Range Complaints - Reuters Special Report

    Glad this finally a story. It's been pretty broadly known within the EV community that Tesla's estimates are very optimistic. I've never gotten the rated range on my 2018 Model 3, I run dedicated snows in the winter and performance all seasons in the summer, which admittedly effects things...
  12. Rivian app 2.0 is live!

    Looks like a nicer interface, but functionality-wise from a quick 5 min look through there doesn't look anything new. I like the refreshed look, so definitely a +1 from me.
  13. What do you want addressed in the next OTA update?

    I'd really like to see creep mode, as I dislike auto-hold. As well as a better "cabin keeper" for HVAC. I know there is pet mode but it doesn't seem to let me set a temp below 68 which I'd like to.
  14. Got a Model 3 (Jun 2023 build) rental while my R1T in service…

    We have a Model 3 and a R1S and they're different animals behind the wheel. I still enjoy driving the Model 3, in particular I like the heavier steering and feeling more glued to the ground, and creep mode. I also find the sound system better on the Model 3. The biggest complaint is the lack...
  15. Window Tint - Does your go below the interior door seal?

    Got my windows tinted (Xpel XR Black) last week and to my surprise the tint does _not_ go below the interior door gasket, see the picture below. To other that have gotten their R1's tinted, does your window tint on the windows that roll down extend below the interior window seal? Either way...
  16. Xpel XR+ Ceramic Window Film Tint -- My Rivian R1S Cabin Temperature Readings

    @caiudalmau A bit off topic, but as someone who has shared that they've gotten XPEL tint I had a question about your install. I just got XPEL XR Black on my R1S, and to my surprise the tint does _not_ go below the interior door gasket, see the picture below. My tint person has already said he...
  17. Introducing RMaxx Running Boards & Rock Sliders for Rivian R1T / R1S from Team 1EV

    @EV Sportline Is there an option with flush screws on the top running board surface instead of the ones that stick up? I really liked the clean look of the original prototypes you shared, but seems that got adjusted when things went to full production. Hoping this can be an option. Thanks!
  18. Dashboard disassembly?

    Make that a third from me @DuoRivians! Please share, this rattle is driving me nuts and I still have a month to wait for my service apt!!
  19. Rear wheel noise

    How'd it go? We're they able to fix it?
  20. Great news for anyone looking for an R1T panoramic roof sun shade!

    Very excited for this, I have a very similar one on our Model 3 and looking to do that again on our R1S. I see a preorder for the front roof panel shade, are there plans for a shade on the rear glass panel?
