    Charging Station Rating in new Rivian software update -- Wassym interview

    Depending on how long they have been collecting the data, it may take a while for the grading system to mature. I also wonder how long their look back will be, will it reflect that stations that used to be good have deteriorated (or vice versa)?0

    Rivian is scheduling open service tickets for Powered Tonneau Cover issues by end of March

    Was just contacted by Rivian. My Monday appointment is moved out to May due to parts being back ordered. Sigh.

    Tesla can now deploy pre-fabricated Superchargers in a game-changing 4 days

    True. But the screen is a failure point. If Rivian decides they want to keep it, then they need to improve its resiliency and longevity. Probably easier if these pedestals and charging spots were covered. To make the chargers truly universal, they would need to add card readers. I am a fan of...

    Eclipse + Superchargers + Rivian = Chaos

    The cool thing is, like with gas stations, you had two options right next to each other. Hoping to see more of this kind of redundancy in the future.

    Tesla can now deploy pre-fabricated Superchargers in a game-changing 4 days

    Iā€™ve noticed even 6-8 months ago that the screens seemed to be aging. Did you find that those stations had any issues delivering power? As far as I know, the screen is not actually necessary and it may be better if they build them without screens since the goal should be plug and charge for all...

    A/C decides which vents to open or close and fan speed on its own

    I have noticed this in day to day use (not preconditioning), esp with the front center vents that I end up having to manually reopen in the climate menu. Itā€™s a little bit not-my-favorite.

    E.A. saves Rivian…AGAIN!

    Just donā€™t stare at that green light too long. I heard it exerts a form of mind control.

    Rivian's infinite R1T Max Pack Inventory

    Yes, in $/kWh it does not seem like a good deal. That doesnā€™t mean someone out there wonā€™t find utility in that option. It makes me think if Rivian will beef up the Max pack offering or add a Largerest Pack.

    New to RTT and overlanding scene

    I am not an overland enthusiast but I have gotten curious about it and this forum is a great resource. If you google search RivianForum overland youā€™ll get a lot of thread hits. I also recommend ChargeOverland on YouTube. He has videos of R1T specific setup. ChargeOverland YouTube Channel The...

    First problem with my R1S, and it's a big one. Bolt backed out

    I would definitely politely insist that service check the torque on all the fasteners there and around all the wheels.

    The Art of Not Sounding Pathetic While Sounding Pathetic

    I gave up and keep my air hose under the back seat inside of a (larger) zip up Makita tool storage bag I bought along with some compressor accessories. I now use the Rivian-supplied side door bag for assorted tools (wrenches pliers etc).

    backing with a trailer ... not

    I havenā€™t tried leaving the door open and am surprised that works. Will give it a shot next time.

    Rivian is scheduling open service tickets for Powered Tonneau Cover issues by end of March

    As others recommended to me, keep contacting service to get an appointment. Explain how long itā€™s been, be polite but persistent. I was in a similar boat as you with a broken cover for almost two years. Except mine was disabled with all slats removed. They finally scheduled me for April 15 via...

    backing with a trailer ... not

    I have trained myself to back up without lifting off the seat. I do wish that we had the option for reduced throttle response when backing up to a trailer. Also, an option to disable hold until the brake pedal is pressed would be nice when backing up with or to a trailer. Finally, an option...

    backing with a trailer ... not

    We also have an HCT and have backed it ā€œsuccessfullyā€ down some tricky turns. The only issues are hold sometimes engaging prematurely when trying to creep back as well as my amateur trailer-backing skills. I have not had any issues with the sensors though. Presume that you plugged in the 7-pin...

    2024.11.2 Software Update Released! => Release Notes: Send Navigation, Mapping, Charging Feedback/Scores + Rear Display Improvements + More

    Iā€™m hoping they manage to sneak in something extra. Still wondering what happened to the nav planning with trailer options that was in the early notes last time, then disappeared in the final release. Fingers crossed that feature makes it soon. And yes, there are a lot of other things on my...
