We and our 2023 R1T Dual Max (but not our Rivian wall charger) are moving to southern Oregon and our daughter with her Chevy Bolt will be living with us. The house has a 50 amp circuit available - the previous resident had a Tesla wall charger but took it when he moved. Our daughter won't have...
When I had my Dual Max '23 R1T in for service and a rotation the SC said they wouldn't rotate my 21" OEM Pirellis due to low tread, just before I drove a IL-UT roundtrip with no problems. But I don't want to chance it any more, especially with winter coming. (At 31K I already feel like I've...
The House GOP tax bill plan's cuts to clean energy funding is becoming clearer and it looks like a mixed bag for Rivian.
According to an article in Bloomberg "Under the Republicans’ proposal, a popular consumer tax credit of up to $7,500 for the purchase of an electric vehicle would be fully...
My experience too. Even though we normally avoid Walmart we picked up snacks, boxes of sodas, meals, phone charging cords, etc. while charging at EAs in Walmart parking lots. I could envision they'd also sell some fishing, camping and other recreation equipment that Rivian owners find they...
I haven't road tripped where RAN was an option since last summer, but as much as I don't like Elon I'll probably go wherever is available/cheapest in the future.
I think new RAN locations should be focused near adventure sites where there isn't adequate charging, like Joshua Tree NP. Last...
So did you (or anyone else) ever try installing a grab handle on the A-post? If so, did it work, did it last, or did it damage something in the A-post?
If it worked, which aftermarket grab handle did you use? Pix would be appreciated.
As many have mentioned, A-post grab handles. My wife is 5'3" and has memory issues. She never remembers the handle above the window and always grabs the A-post.
I've had problems with the tailgate failing to open several times. The truck has to live in our driveway and the problem seems to crop up after a freeze or snow. Sometimes it goes away after it warms up and sometimes it doesn't.
Mobile service tech came in early February '25 and found a bent...
As someone with absolutely no engineering knowledge or experience (although I do have a son-in-law who is an aerospace and mechanical engineer who might be interested in this challenge!), is there any chance that either Rivian or one of the various developers of accessories will develop a...
Quick question to make sure I understand this -- is the lower Tesla rate you should be getting because you have a Tesla membership? I chose not to do that yet as I don't currently do enough charging away from home to make it worthwhile. That may change this summer after I retire.
Or is it...
Interesting thread for someone with no STEM background. My question is whether for light use (~ 6-10 miles/day unless I go out of town) in 15-30 degree weather, parked outside, it would be better (either in terms of energy cost or long term battery maintenance) to keep the vehicle plugged into...
I AM a business professor, and while it could be improved somewhat as others have noted, its actually a fairly decent survey. But she should have provided more in the way of an introduction as others requested.
I just had this happen to me for the first time. I reset the breaker, leaving it off for a minute or two, then plugged the truck back in. Still nothing. So I unplugged it and waited another minute and plugged it back in and this time it started up. Glad to see the green glow!
I wonder if...
That was my plan as well, although with the camp chairs and kayak paddles and life jackets and fishing rods its getting kind of full. Do you have your saw in a case or a bag to protect other items?
Yes, that is the route.
Not sure I understand the comment about "not using the EVGo in Visalia adds 40 km." Are you referring to elevation gain, as distance wise its only 9.6 miles from Tulare.
In response to agame32, I have 21" tires. Only have 5000 miles on it, mainly interstate last...
We're traveling from one daughter in Fort Irwin CA to another in Ashland OR and thought we'd take in Sequoia and Kings Canyon national parks, including the Kings Canyon Scenic Byway, on the way. Looks like about 260 miles between an EA in Tulare and a EVGo in south Fresno, so I should be fine...
