  1. Let's talk Tesla Supercharger parking etiquette...

    Isnā€™t that why Rivian has tow straps in the Gear store and tow hooks on the front bumper? Of course the bumper winch would make this even easier. [Note: Iā€™m kidding]
  2. Factory Shutdown Bingo

    If you guess right you get the opportunity to by a truck with your predicted feature(s).
  3. Article: How do I get free Rivian-approved NACS DC adapter? Shipping in April!

    I think the app filters are flakey. When I first tried it I got the same results as you. I was actually looking SF to LA which Iā€™ve done more than SF to Seattle. Then I fiddled and it showed me most of the superchargers. For example the one in Kettleman city. The initial list looked like just...
  4. Article: How do I get free Rivian-approved NACS DC adapter? Shipping in April!

    According to RJ itā€™s 15,000 super chargers. How many would it take to graduate from small number to medium? Also, there are quite a few Ford owners using the same adapter and it doesnā€™t appear much different than the magic docks that have been around for a while and I can verify those work...
  5. Powered Tonneau Cover Appears to be Back on New R1T Builds!

    Has anybody had the new power tonneau for a while and have any data on how robust it is?
  6. Electrify America unveils Indoor Flagship Charging Station (opened Feb 9, 2024)

    According to PlugShare it opened at 6:34 am this morning and one person charged a Chevy bolt and checked in on PlugShare
  7. R2 Product Launch at Laguna Beach on March 7th!

    There is an ice cream truck. 3 numbered items (vehicles?) and 2 LGs. While the ice cream truck might be an EDV, I doubt itā€™s a completely new vehicle. I would guess 1-3 are R2s variants. Not sure what the LGs are.
  8. "Park brake performance reduced on steep grades" -- new since 2023.50.01?

    Canā€™t you get a bigger increase in surface area by airing down to 30 PSI? The. Just use the compressor before you leave? ;-)
  9. Rivian Impact Report and Sustainability Goals

    Isnā€™t the R1 small pack supposed to also be LFP?
  10. Rivian recommended maintenance schedule

    I had them do a 5 tire rotation and mobile request. They said that 4 tire needs to be done at SC. YMMV
  11. OTA 2023.50.01 Software is Out! (w/ departure & preconditioning scheduling)!

    Perhaps. How good is the AT&T signal where you park? It may just be having trouble completing the large downloads.
  12. OTA 2023.50.01 Software is Out! (w/ departure & preconditioning scheduling)!

    I donā€™t have inside information, but best practice when rolling out updates like this is to do it randomly. This allows you to statistically treat it like an experiment and determine the likelihood that those problems were caused by the update or just randomly happened at the time of the update...
  13. Challenging PR for R1T (rear window replacement cost)

    That is because they didnā€™t replace those parts. Which leads me to believe that either the $4200 Rivian replacement had additional damage, Rivian did unnecessary additional work, doubling the price or my repair skipped necessary steps. I can pretty much rule out the latter as the repair was done...
  14. Challenging PR for R1T (rear window replacement cost)

    They do offer parts to third parties. I got my rear window replaced at Arseen Auto in San Jose for $1543.88 including parts, labor and tax. I did have to call around a bit. Rivian gave me half a dozen repair shops to check with and only Arseen actually had the glass.
  15. Yay! Santa Nella RAN Rivian charging station is OPEN!

    I generally try to find lodging with a charger. A J1772 or Tesla destination charger makes for a more pleasant experience and a lot of places support it.
  16. Any considerations when charging two vehicles at home?

    It depends on the situation. Normally me and my wife have no problem sharing a single EVSE for our MY and R1T (and a Prius Plugin we donā€™t drive much). With both of our daughters home for Xmas and driving all over the place and one of them not plugging in when she gets home late and GridShift...
  17. Software Update 2023.46.01

    2022 VIN 52xx, no update. Iā€™m pretty sure within the target vehicles Rivian does it in random order. They probably do a batch of employee ones first. Iā€™ve seen no roll issues in my R1T but did have another non-electric vehicle roll down a hill towards me today. Fortunately both me and the car...
  18. When will Rivian start selling to rental companies?

    Now that Rivian appears to be reducing their backlog, as evidenced by all the Vehicles in the Rivian Shop, when do folks think they will start doing fleet sales to Rentsl Car companies? They go for $149+/day on Turo. Rental car companies could rent them as premium vehicles.
  19. Free LTE Connectivity to end this month

    Iā€™m pretty sure their contract with AT&T wonā€™t allow them to let others provide data: https://about.att.com/story/2023/rivian-commercial-fleet-pilot.html AT&T named exclusive connectivity provider for all Rivian vehicles in the U.S. and Canada, enabling smarter, safer and more connected...
  20. Poll: How many service center visits did your R1 require in the first year of ownership?

    3. One to pick it up (didnā€™t want to wait), one for each of two recalls. Everything else was mobile service, except for a broken window which I had replaced at a local collision repair center.
