  1. What's normal runningboard wear?

    I bought some of these runningboards from evbase a bit over two years ago aftrer we took delivery of our R1T. They've worked ok and haven't been abused, but we travel gravel and muddy roads on a regular basis (7 mi of a 65 mi trip regularly). I've noticed them rusting and the black finish worn...
  2. Towing + Efficiency: Please post your experience!

    We tow a 1500# Happier Camper with our 2024 DM R1T. Don't have a lot of data, but a couple of longer trips. Usually keep it around 60-65mph. Trip #1, 590 mi overall, out and back over a 1400' elevation gain pass. Trip was in May in MT, I think tailwind going out and not sure coming back...
  3. Flat Tire on a 7,000+ lb EV: What’s Your Plan and Tools?

    Oops, thanks. But I'm talking about the headlights, not the guide lights.
  4. Flat Tire on a 7,000+ lb EV: What’s Your Plan and Tools?

    1. The fact that the headlights turn off immediately when you shut the door. They should be on a timer where you can set the delay. It you drive up to a gate in pitch black you have to leave the door open a crack so you can see to open (and close) the gate. Leaving the door open in 40-50 mph...
  5. Countering cold, winter weather effects for those living in the northern states.

    Thanks for reposting that. Our 2024 gen1 R1T large-pack matches the blue data points pretty well, very similar driving conditions (western Montana, 4000'). Ours is "garaged" in an unheated shed, usually not pre-conditioned, so battery temps usually start out colder. Weekly drive is 140 to 200...
  6. Tips for using Rivian as power bank for storm

    Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I suppose you could do it but you would have to be careful to either wire a separate transfer switch for the pump, or make sure you turned everything else in the panel off and then switch on the pump. Some shop tools might, but the same would apply. I would...
  7. Tips for using Rivian as power bank for storm

    2200 W isn't much of a step up from the 1500 W the vehicle already provides. Hardly seems worth it unless you have a very specific need.
  8. Tips for using Rivian as power bank for storm

    I'm wondering what you have used this for. The website says "The 14-50 outlet provides pure 240V (no neutral) and is not compatible with RVs or systems requiring split-phase 120V/240V power." That seems to me to imply you could not use it in a V2H scenario, since all the 120v circuits in a...
  9. Crusty, wet/dry, deep(ish) snow -- off-road vs. soft-sand mode?

    Just returned from a short (22 mi round-trip, ~5 mi one way in significant snow) trip up a gravel Forest Service road, slight elevation gain (~500'). Road had an accumulation of about a foot of snow, condensed over the past month or so. One set of old-ish ruts, a number of snowmobile tracks...
  10. R1S Dual Motor; Any harm in choosing Reduced Stability for kinda Sport Mode?

    Pretty late on this comment but I'm pretty sure reduced stability will definitely impact range. That's based on my observation that snow mode (R1T DM) also switches to all 4 wheels all the time and has reduced mileage.
  11. Tips for using Rivian as power bank for storm

    The main problem with all of these solutions is they are only 120VAC. If you live in a rural area and have a well, your well pump is generally 240VAC. You need V2H for that. We've used the Rivian 120 for fridge and freezer and it works great, but we have to watch water and fill toilets with a...
  12. Gen1 23 R1T Regen was Negative over 5,000ft drop

    I really don't know how they work. Thanks for the clarification. I noticed that steep drop-off on our last trip, way sooner than I thought. Ours is a dual motor, so I would assume max possible is a lot less. Regen therefore MUST be limited under a lot of circumstances. It seems unlikely that...
  13. Gen1 23 R1T Regen was Negative over 5,000ft drop

    I go over several passes here in MT fairly regularly, winter and summer, with a steady drop of around 2000' with virtually no uphill sections. We are almost always regen limited after about 90 seconds. I try to keep the descent at 55mph or so, primarily to limit regen cutoff. If we get up...
  14. Rivian Part Numbers - A Crowdsourced Parts Catalog

    Part # PT00000353-H Description: Front Bed Panel Supplier code: 52090 What's the supplier code? A rivian internal reference to a supplier? Anyone know who it is?
  15. Rivian Part Numbers - A Crowdsourced Parts Catalog

    Can anyone give me the part # for the panel at the front of the bed / back of the cab? I've found "parts diagrams" that have a number pointing to it but no key...
  16. No odometer in off-road mode?

    Everyone has different needs, which is why there should be dedicated screen space for user-configurable displays, with factory-configured defaults. It's a no-brainer the software industry has been doing for years. Why all those young engineers didn't do that in the first place is beyond me...
  17. Plan a trip with a specified amount of starting charge?

    Thanks all for the pointer to click on the range. Exactly what I wanted. I'm aware of ABRP and have used it.
  18. Plan a trip with a specified amount of starting charge?

    Our R1T sits between 50% and 70% most of the time, but we start long trips at between 90% and 95% depending on where we're going. However, whenever I try to plan a trip, it always assumes the starting charge is the last known condition of the battery. Is there a way to specify a starting...
  19. Close call with a stuck plug

    We had a similar experience a week ago, also a ChargePoint. In our case, the charger was no longer charging, the R1T said to disconnect, but the charger was still powered up and thought it was charging. So it wouldn't release the lock in the handle. Rivian support said to call them and ask...
  20. service suspension after latest update?

    Just returned from an 1800 mi road trip towing a light (2000#) trailer, mostly went well. washed vehicle (R1T), then updated software thinking I was not on the bleeding edgw. Charged overnight, then headed to town (65mi). 4 mi gravel then 2 mi pavement, then truck says suspension needs service...
