    [MA] Solar recommendations in MA?

    I moved from my apartment with free EV charging to my first house (with decidedly not free EV charging) over the summer and have been enjoying my $400-500/mo electricity bills. I'd love to start pricing out and figuring solar options. Are there any solar installers that anyone would recommend...

    [MA] State Inspection Shops

    Having gotten one of the first R1Ts in MA, my inspection date is coming up. When I first got my truck, I didn't know that it couldn't be put on a lift so I just took it to my normal inspection shop. There weren't any issues, but knowing the lift issue now, I'm wondering where people have been...

    Are the temperature thresholds for regenerative braking overly conservative?

    With spring arriving now, I've been surprised by how conservative the regenerative-braking-lockout seems to be. I took delivery last July, before the R1s had any limiting of regenerative braking due to cold temperatures, so I'm not sure yet what Rivian is defining as cold, but with temperatures...

    Reducing the amount of slip on the all-weather mats?

    I've recently put my all-weather mats in place for the winter and am finding them to be quite slippery (for feet; they cling to the floor very well). I've been feeling like the risk of a foot resting at an angle, ready to accelerate from a traffic light, slipping into the accelerator is a bit...

    With temperatures dropping is anyone else already noticing range losses?

    It was 40s-50s yesterday in New England when I took a long drive out to a wedding. I only got ~290miles of range on a full charge in conserve mode with the 21" tires. I actually almost ran out of charge because I let Rivian nav pick out a charger on my route as I was getting low and it expected...

    Any way to clear water that made its way into a camera fixture?

    Somehow, a drop of water got into the housing for the front camera, which messes up the birds eye view. I had hoped that it would just evaporate out whatever way it came in, but it's been about a week and it's still there. Is there anyway to either remove the protective glass/plastic piece to...

    [MA] MOR-EV $7500 Rebate Guide

    For those of you in Massachusetts taking delivery of your R1T (it's unknown yet whether the R1S qualifies, but write-in if you apply for an R1S and find out R1S is reported to be accepted as well), here's the step-by-step guide for how to get your credit. At the time of writing, there's still...

    Anywhere near Boston to rent some hand-washing space?

    So I like hand washing my truck as just a fun thing to do and I have all of the equipment/soap/etc, but my apartment building doesn't have a good spot to do it (I've requested that they make a spot for it but they haven't decided yet), namely with water access, so I've been using a pressurized...

    Compressor doesn't stop when reaching target

    Has anyone else experienced this? I was just inflating my tires, wherein the process was: set the PSI to 48, plug in the hose, see actual pressure (<48), and hit the start button. For 2/4 of the tires it would feel like it was taking a long time so I'd hit the stop button and see that it had...

    Phone key unlocks the vehicle but cannot ready/activate it

    Immediately following the most recent software patch that was pushed to my R1T yesterday, my phone key continues to automatically lock/unlock the vehicle based on proximity, but the vehicle no longer readies itself when I sit down. Fortunately I keep the card key in my wallet as a backup which...

    Why exactly is it so cumbersome to use the multitude of charging networks?

    The R1T is my first EV and my home charger is ChargePoint (via my apartment complex) which has been fairly straightforward given Rivian's partnership and the integration with the Rivian app (other than an annoyingly long wait time from charger selection to its activation/unlock), but I did a...

    How do you think Rivian will evolve their model numbering scheme?

    So far I'm a fan of the simplicity of their scheme (R1T, R1S) v. the naming/numbering schemes of other manufacturers, but I'm wondering how they might evolve that scheme to handle new models, vehicles, iterations, etc. Some random ideas/thoughts: Each new model year will increment the counter...
