I think you are overthinking this, once you get used to how the vehicle drives, which does not take very long, OPD becomes completely intuitive and parking in a garage, even one that is cozy, becomes no more difficult than parking any other vehicle.
I have parked my R1S in my garage every day I...
I spent 30 years in the heart of Alaska, so I have certainly seen my fair share of the northern lights, and can say that purple is one of the rarest colors for the aurora, but it does happen on occasion. The much more common green aurora's occur when solar particles collide with oxygen. Purple...
The 2026 Quad-Motor R1T/R1S Launch Editions are the only vehicles Rivian has sold that came with both lifetime Rivian Autonomy Platform+ and Connect+ access. No other vehicles, not even the original Gen1 Launch Editions had Connect+ access for free for life.
If Rivian follows what they did the first time around with the launch of the R1T and R1S then everyone who hasn't been invited to order yet will get a general timeframe for when Rivian estimates that those reservations will be invited to order (ex: specific month or month range). And for those...
I was told by Rivian that there was an issue with getting the metal flake to appear correctly, but it's also likely that up-charged paints are higher priority too.
Yep, just got the same email. I ordered Esker Silver which I know is a bit delayed so I am guessing this is just Rivian acknowledging the order to renew my faith and that my vehicle will be ready S=0==0=N...
If Rivian says something like 'by end of June' I would just get in the habit of expecting it on the last day of June, or whatever month or season they mention. If it comes out sooner, well then bonus.
Feels to me that Rivian build quality is hit or miss, much like many manufacturers. For my experience owning my Gen1 R1S this last 3 years the vehicle has only been in for service twice that wasn't related to regular/planned maintenance, both times it was to replace the 12v battery at Rivian's...
Filled out the submission form. Got my invite to order on June 17th, took R2 for a demo drive on the 19th, and placed my order on June 21st. Ordered Esker Silver so I don't expect to see a VIN or delivery ETA for a couple months.
This is the exact configuration on my order.
Have the R1S in El Cap and decided against going with Half-Moon for that reason, that plus the fact I have only washed the R1S twice in three years, so having a shade that looks clean even when dirty is a nice bonus. I also like the way the silver...
They told me the same thing when I asked about getting a non-standard plate, that I would have to wait till the standard plates arrive then order what I wanted as they do not process non-standard plate requests.
It's an EA app problem. As soon as the user selects the Rivian vehicle as a filter in the app, the CCS filter option gets greyed out and the user is forced to only filter on Level 2 chargers, despite the fact that Rivian is a CCS vehicle currently.
Contact EA and report the issue, or just...
The cooling radiators for the battery/electronics is in the front space surrounding the frunk, so yes it is pretty normal that that area will get quite warm.
Knowing where they are testing these in Alaska, I can definitely assure you there are plenty of huge moose, and generally caribou too, all around this spot.
I drove by there on Monday, noticed they had the level 2 and DCFCs installed already on the outside. They still need to clean the outside of the building and get it painted the Rivian black and white colors, but it is certainly coming along!
You beat me to this post by mere seconds! :cool:
Rivian also mentioned that they will be participating in the federal infrastructure funds allotted for building out new EV chargers, starting in 2024, so that will feed them additional funding just for DCFCs. That doesn't help them navigate the...
Looking at Cheyenne, WY on Plugshare specifically, I can see two locations with CCS charging, the rest are either J1772 or Nema 14-50 in the case of an RV resort. One CCS is a Chargepoint, located at a Harley Davidson, which is showing as Under Repair and the other one at Target, which is an...
