    WallBox Warranty

    So after 8 months it coded red ā€œcharger error ā€œ after over a week of being told to update the firmware/reset/reboot I had to ask them to give up. It took talking to 2 more people to actually have them initiate a replacement and 2 additional days. On top of that I was just notified via email that...

    New iPhone 14 New iOS phone as a key

    Unless Rivian snuck a unreported update in I'm finally happy with my "phone as a key" All I have to do is wake my phone and the truck unlocks in just a second or two. Plus no more unlocking every time I'm near the truck (only happens occasionally now) I'm not sure if it was the new phone or...

    R1T Loses Race against a 2.3 liter ICE vehicle (spoiler no video)

    Not sure if anyone really cares as this probably isn't the forum for ICE motorheads, but we just wanted to see how the R1T would hold up against my modified Evo 10. The Evo has been sitting in the garage since 2020 as I haven't been road racing for over 2 years. And after washing the dust off...

    2 weeks after my Service Request I got a call back

    I got a call back. It didnā€™t solve anything but I appreciated that they followed up. The message was that my warm cabin overnight was caused by battery conditioning. I was told that I should expect it to be worse in the winter (what??) hopefully Rivian will get it figured out soon. But Iā€™m just...

    Lighting or R1T, it all came down to just a few things for me

    Where the R1T falls short IMHO with a scale of - 10 to + 10 as a comparison. It's kind of a Left Brain Right Brain Mix of Opinions so don't try and understand my Logic or Lack of it. Performance: [10] RT1 Lightning [7] Hang On vs...

    Rivian Driver+ vs. Ford BlueCruise -- my experience vs Out of Spec Kyle's

    My experience continues to be 180 off of those expressed in his latest video where Drivers+ out scores BlueCruise. Driver+ deactivates and wonā€™t re-engage in places that it has worked prior Driver+ has a long delay to re-engagement after a lane change Driver+ has no hands free Driver+ does...

    šŸ„Š Part 2 Comparison: My F-150 Lightning vs Rivian R1T -- Driver+ vs. BlueCruise, Ford Sync4 vs Rivian Infotainment, Audio Quality, Vehicle Size, Etc

    Drivers Assist: Good news for Ford as they seem to be substantially ahead of Rivian with BlueCruise. It's far from perfect and a little annoying until you learn or get used to it. BlueCruise doesn't change lanes and can kick you out for what appears to be no visible reason, but it's...

    It's Only Aggravating and Disappointing Because...

    It's going to be worth it Yep the delays and lack of communication are not something I'd usually put up with. I'd usually cancel and take my business elsewhere, but in this case there isn't really a "elsewhere". Sure we could order a Tesla Model X for more money that "might" arrive in March...

    šŸ„Š My F-150 Lightning Arrived! Comparison & Opinions Quick Take vs my R1T

    These are just my "Opinions" Kind of like trying to pick which kid you like more. Both have their Pro's and Con's Ride - Lighting. Actually it's not that close from a comfort basis Ride - R1T. Actually it's not that close from a Sporty/Handling basis/feel Interior - Lightning. I just like the...

    Latest VIN check R1T. What is the real production rate...

    Daily 10% Battery loss while Parked

    Flew out Wednesday returned Sunday. And found my R1T burns through 5% of the charge every 12 hours while sitting in the garage. Sent a email off to Rivian service. I checked my app to see if I had a updated status for my R1S and saw my mileage and charge level had dropped so I kept an eye on...

    My Lightning is Built

    Hopefully Iā€™ll see it a a few weeks. First thing is to see how it holds up in a drag race with the R1T. I like that the R1T doesnā€™t feel like Iā€™m driving a truck in most instances.

    Electronic Nannies limiting Acceleration

    Iā€™d like it if Rivian would open up the accelerator from 0-20 and @ 100+ as it feels like the output is limited by programming. Itā€™s fast but not the fastest truck Iā€™ve owned and with 835 hp the trap speed is ā€œartificiallyā€ ? Low. Wondering if HP Tuners has plans to add support (j/k)

    350KW Charging that has Worked Everytime vs. Shell Recharge 50kw (60% success rate with Shell)

    Thursday after finding my regular 50kw Shell Recharge station wasn't working. Shell reset it 3 times and still no luck so I headed to the fastest chargers within 30 miles at a Walmart. I was pretty happy with the charge rate. It took just over an hour to go from 10% to 93%. For a while the...

    I might be alone but.. How about a double function off switch?

    First off, I think the truck if great, Two parts: A) I'd like to be able to shut everything down with perhaps a long hold (a second or two) on the shifter stalk button that would auto lock the doors upon exit. B) And then perhaps a quick tap and a longer hold to shut the truck off and...

    Looking for a few interior workarounds that were offered or solvable with my Ford & GM's

    No 120v charge point in the cab. (CORRECTION it's under the rear climate screen per Astonius) I use my laptop and for now I'll have to get a longer cord for my Samsung to run from the tunnel through the back seat passthrough. Unless someone knows of a very silent 12v to 120v converter that I...

    Charging Speed is a MAJOR disappointment (ChargePoint

    I fully admit my EV ignorance. I assumed that the various EV charging points I had seen would actually change the vehicle lol. Well they donā€™t charge at a level I think any reasonable user needs. Iā€™ve tried a grand total of 3 chargers in my area and the best rate so far has been 14mph. With a...

    Radar Detector hard wire, who has done it?

    Looking to see if anyone has done it yet. I am planning on a windshield mount just under the mirror. I donā€™t want to launch into pulling the interior bits out without knowing where a 12v source is.
