  1. Any update on Front Royal, VA RAN?

    True, but ... not only does Staunton have a 350kw EA, but 10 miles away in Waynesboro is a brand new RAN station! We should all be so lucky :-) But you're right that Front Royal will be really helpful for a lot of folks, and I would bet will see more traffic than the other 4 they just opened...
  2. Any update on Front Royal, VA RAN?

    They pulled them out and are re-installing :-( A few weeks ago where they had been installed was a big hole and all the equipment and been pulled and moved to the side. I had stopped by a while back and remember there was something off about the install but can't quite remember what - I think...
  3. Should Be Excited, But Feeling Nervous

    This is all FUD that you have been fed! First, if a Rivian R1S can't park get into a Tesla stall, what's a F150 Lightning going to do? The reality is *most* existing non-Tesla EVs will struggle to get into a Tesla stall without taking an extra space. This has nothing to do with NACS. This is...
  4. Vacation Ruined - catastrophic failure

    You didn't mention if you could get into the frunk - I'm assuming you couldn't because you tried to jump from the rear, but if it was working it would make sense that it was a secondary batter failure and jumping from the back wouldn't help. I gave away my old jump start battery when I got rid...
  5. Tire Rotation and Balancing -- Discount Tire is Rivian's preferred tire shop (just confirm they have jack pucks)

    Mobile service will do it - assuming you have an appropriate space. They werenā€™t able to rotate mine due to it being parked in an alley with a funny slope.
  6. Recent Rivian factory tour observations on production, shifts, configurations

    This is actually what we have in DC. Limitation is zoning - there is no customer pickup or drop off, so they have to send the flatbed for each vehicle they want to work on which really limits things. Everyone is looking forward to a full SC soon ā€¦.
  7. Official Rivian Outage Notification: “Phone as a key” is down

    I did the same thing once, but was lucky enough to have a window open. I think it had recognized my wifeā€™s phone as leaving proximity when she left in her car and it locked. I turned proximity lock for the phones off and use the fob now :-(
  8. My First and Likely Last Post

    Mostly all valid - sounds like you don't need a pickup, you don't need an off-road vehicle, you don't need something that does 0-60 in 3.2 seconds, you don't need something with tons of storage and you don't need something that can tow like a beast. That makes the Rivian just a fun choice -...
  9. Let’s talk tunes -- How do you listen to music in your Rivian?

    Correct. Someone else had to point it out to me as well :-) I think the default is the highest quality that you have paid for - which is fine as long as Rivian is paying for data ā€¦.
  10. Let’s talk tunes -- How do you listen to music in your Rivian?

    Yes - click on the head/profile icon when you are in Tidal. You get the standard list according to what you pay for.
  11. Normal HVAC behavior?

    I have resorted to turning the HVAC off and just using the seat heaters. I generally preheat though. I still canā€™t figure out pet mode though. Mine always shows a large difference, eg ā€œMy pet is safe and comfy at 62 degrees set to 70ā€ (literally this summer in a hot parking lot). My theory has...
  12. Took a road trip in my ICE vehicle. My thoughts...

    Heading to Boone tomorrow (staying the night in Floyd) and am a little worried. I had hoped Blowing Rock would be online, but obviously itā€™s not anymore. Plugshare says the Blue Ridge Energy charger crapped out on the last driver, and I hadnā€™t realized that the EA charger in Wyethville has been...
  13. 350KW EVGO charger maxed at 70KW and is my only option, any idea why? Rivian no help.

    Check that they actually are what EVGO lists them as - donā€™t trust the app. You can look directly on the cabinet. Also check out PlugShare and see what other people are getting and their notes. In DC virtually all their chargers are listed as faster than what the cabinet says and they deliver.
  14. Blue Ridge Parkway?

    Anyone taken a trip up/down the Blue Ridge Parkway recently? I planning on taking the truck down from Front Royal on Skyline Drive down and use the new Blowing Rock RAN charger as my destination (mostly for the heck of it because I have some time off) Trying to identify how challenging charging...
  15. R1T Ride Quality Harsh on Bumpy Surfaces

    You definitely want to drive in All Purpose and Soft and keep the ride height at "Standard" (the lower you go the more bouncing.) At the end of the day I love the truck despite it - we just take my wife's Model 3 when we are together if we don't need the truck. And if we do need the truck (eg...
  16. R1T Ride Quality Harsh on Bumpy Surfaces

    I have an R1T on 21ā€ and the same complaints down to the spouse that dislikes riding in the truck due to the bouncing and nausea. I had a friend with 22ā€ come over and we drove loops to compare and agreed the trucks were nearly identical. I think the key is it does drive like a truck. The...
  17. Received Email: Software Update For Your Rivian Wall Charger Beginning Late November

    I just installed mine a couple of days ago - and itā€™s on the same 3.00 version. However it had been sitting in my basement for 3 months. So it apparently doesnā€™t look updates after a power cycle. This update is the first one announced and that address a flaw thatā€™s caused a lot of really...
  18. Does NOT Fit: LFOTPP Rivain R1T R1S Car Center Organizer

    Same ā€¦. mine came today and doesnā€™t fit.
