  1. unexpected "opportunity" to be all-EV family

    I got a Kia EV6 a year ago and now have an R1T since January. Gave my 05 4Runner to my daughter. The EV6 (and it's siblings) are very fast at charging and I'm very happy with the car (other than lack of software updates). But it's hard to beat Tesla's charging network.
  2. Rooftop Tents blocking brake lights (CHMSL)

    Thanks for sharing. Do you have a side view photo?
  3. Armorall streaked my interior

    I also used these products on my Ocean Coast interior and have been happy so far. Here is a Detailer's YT video using it on a Rivian
  4. Efficiency secrets?

    Agreed. I just got my R1T and I notice a big difference in efficiency on a half-hour trip to town vs coming back. The truck sits outside most of the time so the battery is relatively cold to start.
  5. Spotted: First Rivian RAN Charging Station location on East Coast! - Blowing Rock, NC

    That will be a nice addition to the area. There is just a single 60kW station in Boone.
  6. Received a very low vin

    Hmm, now looking back at this post, I mistyped. I picked it up yesterday (Yay!) and it is a 177xx VIN and the plate says it was manufactured 1/23.
  7. Received a very low vin

    Picking up a '23 17xx R1T this Friday in TN.
  8. R1T Orders: Jan '23 - Feb '23 -- Status

    I'm a 7/21 preorder Blue R1T on 20AT. Was originally Max pack but switched to large and got a Jan-Feb 23 time frame. No get ready contacts yet. I figure a lot is depending on the local SC (Franklin, TN) getting open (supposedly any day now).
  9. Rodent chewed through wire harness, causing $7K repair (and $1650 towing)

    Ugh, that scares me. I've had the issues with wiring on my vehicles that are outside from squirrels and I don't have room in the garage for my Rivian when it comes.
  10. Rivian Service Centers / Retail Locations List / Other Facilities (Pics & Updates)

    Stopped by the Franklin, TN service center yesterday to see how it was shaping up. Doesn't look quite ready to open but they are actively working on the lobby and exterior. Could see hoists in the back service area as they had a garage door open. Hopefully soon.
  11. Rivian Service Centers / Retail Locations List / Other Facilities (Pics & Updates)

    I was in Franklin, TN yesterday and stopped by the future service center to see what progress may of been made. Didn't appear to be a lot but they do have a sign up along the road and inside the building. I didn't look into the back service area. Outside of the building still needs sprucing up.
  12. (EV) Alternative Fuel Corridor Round 6 Nominations

    Definitely oil/coal friendly. But to be fair, it is so sparsely populated that it would be quite the challenge to get EV chargers every 50 miles outside the interstates. Even on the interstates could be a challenge.
  13. Rivian Charging Station in Salida, CO is Under Construction

    According to this article, it is opening in June. https://coloradosun.com/2022/05/24/colorado-electric-vehicle-charger-progres/ "Electric truck and SUV maker Rivian, now delivering dozens of back-ordered vehicles to Colorado customers, is creating a Rivian Adventure Network of fast...
  14. Fine Sanding the Woodwork on Trim

    As a amateur woodworker, I like to use white non-woven scrub pads to buff out a finish on wood. These are finer than the typical blue and green pads that are more commonly found in stores. I find they can smooth out dust nibs without leaving metal bits that steel wool can. I definitely...
  15. Rivian Service Centers / Retail Locations List / Other Facilities (Pics & Updates)

    That great. I thought the construction work was scheduled for this fall. Maybe that is incidental to the opening.
  16. [Out of Spec Reviews] The Rivian R1T Has Arrived And We Answer All Of Your Questions!

    Yeah, what's up with MN? I used to live there and am coming up there next month in my new EV6 and was noticing the lack of high speed chargers.
  17. TFLEV "Towing, Off-Road & Charging - What I Learned About the Rivian R1T After Living With It a Week!" video.

    I was happy to hear about the teardrop as well as that is my use case.
