  1. Can't imagine a worse car-buying experience

    Sorry the op had a bad experience. I will give another shout out to the MSP service center they have been awesome with every interaction. They met us halfway to do a test drive and then two members of the team delivered to our house and spent over an hour with us. Granted that was over a year...

  2. The Total Cost of Replacing One 21" Pirelli Scorpion Verde Tire

    The alignment can make a big difference too as to how long they last. Over summer I am ok letting them have less tread too. They were at 4 at the last rotation. I visited with someone at the MSP service center and he said it is a big difference in how long the 21's last for different people...

  3. The Total Cost of Replacing One 21" Pirelli Scorpion Verde Tire

    I have 30,000 on my 21's and should get at least another 5,000 or so. I drive mostly in all purpose and limit the fast acceleration to when I have someone new in the truck.

  4. The Ultimate Efficiency Report: MN to Sedona and Back in R1T

    I would do Caribou any day over Casey's for coffee so I understand the reasoning. We had an issue with that charger right after we got our truck but they either replaced it or fixed it. It looks like it is better then other Zef chargers. We will have to check it out again especially if we...

  5. The Ultimate Efficiency Report: MN to Sedona and Back in R1T

    Excellent post. I love the graphs. It is helpful for me as I have not done a major trip yet with our R1T. I would probably try to do longer legs between charging stations if they are available but that is just our preference. Just curious why you did not use EA in Albert Lea, MN? I usually...

  6. Passenger Side charging… why?

    It would work well in a garage if your charger is in the middle of the front wall. You could reach both your R1T and your R2 with one charger. Assuming you have both of course.

  7. Unusual amount of lost range overnight

    In the past I had similar experience, only minimal loss overnight. Then earlier this week it was a big loss overnight in 30 decree weather. I am hoping it was a fluke. I am going to a friends house this weekend for the Superbowl and staying overnight so I will see how it does.

  8. Unusual amount of lost range overnight

    Just to come back and thought I would share my test results after getting home. Twenty-six hours and only 4 miles and 1% range lost in my garage. Something must not have been going to sleep when I was out of town. So far I have not done a hard reset. I do not think it is needed at this point.

  9. Unusual amount of lost range overnight

    I know there was not any preconditioning as I do not have anything set for that. As for the phone it is possible my wife's phone was close enough to wake it periodically. Also I did walk by it a few times going between the house and shop so it woke up then too. I am not sure that would...

  10. Unusual amount of lost range overnight

    I usually park my R1T in my nice warm garage and have it plugged in when not in use. Yesterday I traveled to my brother's house for work and the truck sat for 26 hours outside. It went from 235 miles of range left and about 70% charge to 208 and 63% charge in those 26 hours. It was about 32...

  11. Rivian doesn't cost less to drive on long trips

    I agree with you there will definitely be some maintenance cost over the life of the R1T. How much will be interesting to see. This is my first EV so I may be a little ignorant yet to some of the cost. I do think it will vary EV to Ev to a certain extent just like ICE trucks or cars. I had a...

  12. Rivian doesn't cost less to drive on long trips

    We drive quite a bit and I think over the life of the Truck it will be cheaper then a gas truck. 24000 miles and so far just a couple tire rotations. In a gas truck that would have needed several oil changes and tire rotation. As both age I think a gas truck's maintenance will be quite a bit...

  13. MN Rivian Tips

    Welcome to Rivian ownership!! We have had ours for about 14 months. We drove to Brookings SD with ours this last weekend in -45 windchill and we were warm. I unzipped my coat and could have taken it off and just wore my sweatshirt. Redline was right above, be sure to check for working...

  14. Charging in Extreme Cold

    We were up at Waimea Canyon and it was very foggy and raining. It was warmer down lower. I could get used to Hawaii in the winter.

  15. R1 Bunnies

    I live in the midwest and rarely see another in a month. I also live in a small town so that may make it less likely to see more.

  16. Rivian doesn't cost less to drive on long trips

    We only pay .11 Kw where I live and have seen level three chargers range from .09 Kw all the way up to .65 Kw so there are alot of variables. On a trip I do not think it will be much cheaper than a gas car. But if you find a few cheaper chargers and charge for free at a few motels or air bnb...

  17. Charging in Extreme Cold

    Hey Gman, We were in Kauai a month ago and it was 53 decrees and it was 55 in Minnesota that day. How things have changed. We love Kauai we just hit a cold day.

  18. Charging in Extreme Cold

    Yes. We have some in both directions on I90. I think the one in Monticello is open to ccs already do you get that direction and have you checked it out? I am working there next month so I will be using it if it is available.

  19. Charging in Extreme Cold

    Down in our part of the state 50 KW chargers are the norm. We have one EA in Worthington which is the only real fast charger for over 100 miles. They recently raised the price to .65 KW. I am glad the ZEF charger worked for you. We have used some but ZEF chargers but have found some needing...

  20. Charging in Extreme Cold

    How did the ZEF charger work in Crosby? I have found ZEF to be very hit or miss and mostly miss for working chargers. I go to them as a last resort usually . I have been plugging it in and I get about 1.5 to 2 miles per hour of charging until it errors out when the battery temp falls to low...
