  1. Rivian tonneau fix appointments

    Mine was replaced mid-Dec. So far, so good. I've opened/closed it 10x and no issues. Background: TC jammed Feb '23, Mobile Service removed exposed covers shorthly thereafter. Passively received notice of replacement early Dec '23. Replaced at San Jose SC, 4.5 hours. They even charged the...
  2. Gear Tunnel Door Creak AKA Dying Cow

    I fixed it! With the help of WD40 and long application bendable needle, the squeak is gone. I held the door at 45 deg, inserted the bendable needle along the barely visible rod feature, and applied WD40 while translating the needle between 1-4". This feature is on the outboard half of the...
  3. Review: From Tesla to Rivian R1S as a family vehicle

    This is a must for any Tahoe trip! I made it from Sac (80% SOC to Truckee, 40% SOC) in mid-January snowy and flowing traffic.
  4. Electric Cars Are Already Upending America

    This is exactly why our second EV, for my wife and daughter, was a Tesla.
  5. Electric Cars Are Already Upending America

    As a Tesla M3 and R1T owner from SF Bay Area, I was very curious to the EV environment in Nashville TN during a family trip last week. Nashville is certainly remodeling (some might say gentrifying) their downtown and the search results for available (non Tesla) level 3 chargers was very...
  6. Power Tonneau Cover Replacement Scheduled

    Same for me, replacement on the 14th in SJ. Cover was disabled March 2023. I sure hope this works with some level of robustness!
  7. Hawaii customers

    I saw a R1T in Kauai last week in a sea of Tacomas! Also saw a few Lightenings. Browsing the EA app, I did not see any fast charger options. Home charging is the only real solution it seems. Hopefully you have solar.
  8. What’s making noise in my front bumper area while parked?

    I have this exact issue. Looks to be vent baffles that open/close just behind the lower grill area. Please share Rivian's response when possible.
  9. Regen severely limted for less than 1 mile.

    I get the same after every L2 charge, but not after DCFC. Goes away after a few minutes.
  10. Repairing a stuck-open tonneau DIY?

    6 months, 5000 miles, and approximately 20-30 opening closing events for the cover, it finally died. Now it looks horrible, can't stow my bike, poor aero, :mad: Despite constant application of PTFE dry lube (see stains in image), I believe a small stick or other tree dropping is the culprit...
  11. What are you paying to charge your Rivian?

    I want to cry reading all these low rates :CWL: PGE NorCal with solar. Now with a heatpump water heater, any EV charging is above my solar capacity so I rarely charge at home. Home avg $0.48/kwh (0.35 transmission + 0.13 generation) (<10% charge source) Local EA DCFC 0.37/kwh starting 6-Mar...
  12. Windshield glass is trash

    I had a small chip near the base of the windshield that grew before I had it patched. The leg was 4" and was initially deemed unrepairable. However, a mobile repair guy said he would attempt to fix it but without a warranty. So far the best $100 I have spent with no evidence of growing...
  13. Phone key unlocks the vehicle but cannot ready/activate it

    iPhone 12 I had this issue last week/weekend and resulted in using the key card or fob even after soft and hard reset. After not driving for 3-days, it worked normally today (iPhone only). I'll continue to carry my card key just in-case. Not ready to try repair option at this time.
  14. First *real* issue: 12v error, turtle mode, AWD permanently engaged

    Same here. 4.5 months old and first issue. Hard reset and so far so good. One note, truck was not driven for 72 hours, then okay yesterday for 10 mile round trip. Then this morning error messages appeared when leaving driveway this morning.
  15. Missing Underbody Panels at Delivery (non-off road config)...and other misc inspection items - (Happy Ending)

    I had the same missing panel with my on-road R1T (112xx). I noticed it my first night, crawling around inspecting my new toy. I made a service request and it was replaced 6-weeks later.
  16. RAN Rivian Charging Stations Locations Map via Google Maps

    We had a very easy trip to North Lake Tahoe today thanks to RAN chargers in Sacramento and Truckee. Both delivered peak power of 216 kw. Charged to 80% at Sac and arrived in Truckee with 33% cruising in mostly rain between 60-70 mph.
  17. Limited regen after new s/w update?

    Since the s/w update, I've noticed reduced regen following Level 2 charging (up to ~70%) for the next 2-3 miles. I don't recall limited regen following Level 3 charging to ~75%. Seems strange as the battery is warm from charging for limited regen.
  18. 2022.47.0 software update installed w/ SNOW MODE!

    Installed yesterday, range went from 205 to 206. Max range for each mode did not change (293, 270, 267). What is the "Reset" button (bottom left corner) for on Drive Mode screen? In what scenario would I hit this?
  19. A-Pillar interior trim loose

    At this point (within warranty period), I'm not willing to modify any component. I've not needed a handle thus far as a driver, however passengers have missed the A-pillar option.
