  1. Anyone else's battery always hot?

    Nope. It drops typically 1% overnight if not plugged in but usually it's connected to my charger if it's not in use. Guess I just figured Rivians BMS would cool it a bit more than it does
  2. Anyone else's battery always hot?

    Pretty much what the title says. Ambient temps in our area are 75-90 lately and I don't think I've ever seen my battery lower than 94 degrees over the last 3-4 weeks. I leave our garage window open overnight to keep it aired out but never seems to cool much. Clearly can get much cooler if you...
  3. My "adventure truck" was destroyed by suncreen...

    DEET dissolves plastics, we found out the hard way when my wife put her bug sprayed legs on the plastic dash trim in her Impala years ago... Permanent lightly dissolved marks.
  4. Why no Trailseeker/R2 comparisons?

    Comparisons will come. I, for one, wouldn't consider the current crop of Subarus nor an EV from them. We have owned a 2009 Subaru Legacy and a 2016 Subaru Forester and while they were good cars, Subaru has tended to live off their outdoorsy and reliable reputation. Design, interior quality, etc...
  5. Poll: How often do you use your frunk?

    R1T here. I keep all my charging gear, front sunshade (UVS100) in the frunk so in the summer I am in there a lot for the sunshade. Otherwise I frequently use it for groceries. Gear tunnel is everyday usage for kids backpacks, folding chairs, sports gear. Agree, I might not use it as much with an...
  6. How does Gen1 decide what roads and when highway assist is available?

    I meant lane centering 🤦 clearly they have the hardware to use it on more roads since all you need is the front cam? And financially, I keep getting these lawyer ads for "did Rivian promise you self driving?" So who knows?
  7. How does Gen1 decide what roads and when highway assist is available?

    Yeah I've seen the Comma suggestions just wish Rivian would surprise us with the basic lane keep assist most mainstream OEMs have nowadays
  8. How does Gen1 decide what roads and when highway assist is available?

    Took my first decently long trip out into the country in my '22 R1T. In my boredom, I couldn't help but wonder how the Gen1 highway assist decides when it's available or not. I was mainly on state routes, much of the time it was 4 lane divided highways with clear lane lines and highway assist...
  9. Steering Gen 2 R1s loaner vs my Gen 1 Quad R1s

    I don't have any issues with my G1 T. When I drove a G2 S loaner the steering was a bit easier and sharper but it was also 22" all seasons vs my trucks 20" all terrains, which is what I chalked it up to
  10. Clicking while at extremes of turning?

    It's been in for work 3 times in 6 months of ownership including a comp inspection the first time I took it in. It was just in three weeks ago for a handful of issues. I didn't know if it's had the time washer fix. Just not sure if this is something they can wait til we go on vacation next month.
  11. Probably overreacting but... Losing capacity fast?

    Yep, I've watched those. But when you're driving 250mi round trip into the boonies sometimes you gotta push that limit
  12. Probably overreacting but... Losing capacity fast?

    Well that makes me feel better. I wasn't sure how much to read into those values. Made me worried I was gonna trash my battery in a few trips. I know the Large pack NCA chemistry doesn't need large charges to calibrate like LFP but wonder if the earlier was more incorrect since I've never gone...
  13. Probably overreacting but... Losing capacity fast?

    So I bought my Rivian with about 40k on it. First checked Rivian roamer after the winter while reasonably warm and was sitting around 128.4kWh capacity, pretty good only losing about 3kWh (2%) over 4 years and 40k miles. It was around 128kWh last week, took my first big charge round trip of...
  14. Unplugging for Thunderstorms & Lightning?

    Pretty sure your Rivian will go 10x faster with sky electrons in it
  15. Very specific range question - Gen2 R1T Winter Highway (70-75 mph)

    I averaged 1.7-1.9 mi/kWh in my 22 Quad with 20" all terrains last winter with a mostly freeway commute about 25 miles. So you should do slightly better in a dual. I would expect you'll make one charge stop for 15-30 minutes halfway on that trip regardless of what time of year it is depending on...
  16. Clicking while at extremes of turning?

    Noticed this clicking when backing out of my garage the last week or so. Doesn't seem to matter which way I turn not if I'm backing or forward. Wheel at the extremes of turns and slow speeds clocks like this. Is this a normal Rivian things or one of the many to be expected repairs like a half...
  17. R1S 22" Tire Replacement Time - Decision Paralysis - Advice/Experience

    Also, the 115H Michelins are 2679lbs/tire rated so 10,716 for the vehicle. Rivian's GVWR is around 8500 (combined vehicle, occupants, cargo/payload, etc max limit). So you're still 2000lbs total or 500lbs/tire under the tires capacity.
  18. R1S 22" Tire Replacement Time - Decision Paralysis - Advice/Experience

    I dont have these but they're brought up often around here. HL rating falls between XL and E Hankook iON HT HL275/50R22 https://share.google/gdYgXhuc5rh0UQ4Ri
  19. What’s Coming in Rivian’s 2026.15.30 Hotfix

    You mean you DONT like it when you're trying to have RA navigate you somewhere and your kids yell "tell a poop joke!" Until you scream at them to shut up? 🤣🤣🤣
