  1. Adding a 2nd EV to the family, best dual charger?

    With RJ recently talking about next generation upcoming Rivian chargers allowing us to use our Rivians as back up in case of outage, you may want to wait a bit and use your one charger until the new chargers hit the market.
  2. Vacation Ruined - catastrophic failure

    It seems rather similar to what happened with our R1T before the last update. Luckily my wife driving was not on freeway - pulled over to a parking lot at a shopping center once it slowed down and was not responsive with all the error lights on, called me and I thought it would be a good idea to...
  3. Brand new R1T, just drove over a screw—questions about tire servicing

    I got a puncture few months ago - took it to our local Rivian SC - $500 to change single tire (22 in) - they said it had to be changed. So Rivian service does the change of tire but make sure it does need to be changed before you take it there .. get it repaired if possible rather than change..
  4. California DMV Registration Renewal

    Thank you for your post - I did not receive a reminder and checking online today DMV says I owe $1657!!!! Which includes lots of penalties!! Current Registration 65.00 Current California Highway Patrol 30.00 Current Weight Fee 266.00 Current Vehicle License Fee 443.00 Current County...
  5. Happy Birthday to my R1T

    Mine had his birthday last week. Best car I have ever owned. Thank you Rivian!
  6. Ground Breaks on Laguna Beach Hub

    I think the location is excellent. The hub should be a place to increase awareness about the product and with so much foot traffic from 'all over United States', with many not being rushed to go anywhere, since it is a very popular vacation spot and being very laid back, it will pull many in and...
  7. Southern California Owners

    I got my LE R1T March 2022: FG, 22in, Mission Viejo - I regret not doing paint protection, have few scratches now.. I am going to fix them and get PPF and tint windows - I appreciate a referral if you have had a good experience with anyone local.
  8. Conserve Mode: $125 a month tire cost!

    wow - interesting info! - unfortunately just 2 weeks after putting a couple of new tires in front I got a puncture in the back - I spent $1500 on tires in 2 weeks as well as 2 trips to SC
  9. Conserve Mode: $125 a month tire cost!

    Rotating tires is a very good idea, with all 4 having similar wear, .. changing all 4 tires gets us better deal ... I have now learned driving conserve mode should be reserved for when we are low on juice and need to go distance before the next charge station, on road trips! All Purpose, normal...
  10. Conserve Mode: $125 a month tire cost!

    You seem very knowledgeable but there are many who are in my shoes and will learn the hard way. I posted to make those unaware, learn and save while we wait to have better tires available. I also have 22's BTW.
  11. Conserve Mode: $125 a month tire cost!

    This is what I mean by design fault or to be more positive appropriate design measure. We know this is a new concept and design all together, an EV truck, very powerful and very heavy which requires a much stronger tougher tire design.. perhaps that is yet to come..
  12. Conserve Mode: $125 a month tire cost!

    I think that is a good point but both front tires were worn out - could that still be an alignment issue?
  13. Conserve Mode: $125 a month tire cost!

    I have not seen much on how much driving in conserve mode costs or otherwise the cost of tire usage with R1T. Back in December 2022 after driving my truck for just under 10,000 miles over 8 months, normal roads, normal driving habits (i.e. no crazy accelerations or stops) including 2 road trips...
  14. Failure to charge

    This happened to me in Dec but got sorted with a hard reset. I too, went to a number of chargers. The key thing is to see if anyone else was successful to charge at the same charger which failed to charge your R1S .. seeing other being able to charge gave me the clue the issue was with the...
  15. For those who got R1S (or R1T) at original approximately $78k would you buy one for new price of approximately $93k?

    no - but would go for similar price I paid (pre-March) and get the dual motor.. it is a great car for around $75k - dual motor would be sufficient
  16. PSA about charging outside: know how to reset your Rivian

    The solution was hard resetting the car by pressing the far left button on the wheel at the same time as the hazard light button holding for a few seconds. I don’t quite remember what the cause was, but I think I was told sometimes a charger can do something to the car that locks the car to the...
  17. PSA about charging outside: know how to reset your Rivian

    I am glad you posted this - I meant to do this after my thanksgiving trip to Sedona from SoCal but got busy with life... I went to 2 different EA with very low charge and kids in the car in unfamiliar territory - changed multiple chargers, spoke with EA 2x - overall about one hour on phone with...
