    Boat Show - Show the boats you're towing with your Rivian

    Glad to see the old thread still getting some posts. About to be the 3rd boating season since Rivians have been out, time flies. Iā€™ve got a new Rivian and a new boat now that I need to get a pic of and post.

    Out Of Spec Max Pack vs Large Pack testing

    true. 1 vehicle of each and 1 trial. Hopefully others will do a similar test so we can see if the results are consistent with OOSā€™s.

    Unhappy with quality of stereo sound

    I just traded my 22 R1T for a 23 R1S and the in house sound system is definitely quite a step back from the Meridian. Hopefully some of it is tunable DSP stuff that can improve via OTA, but I think it's just inferior hardware that will ultimately hold it back from ever being as good as the Meridian.

    Out Of Spec Max Pack vs Large Pack testing

    I'm curious why you're so negative on this video when I think it's objectively interesting to see how the new battery pack charges compared to the old one. If that isn't interesting to you, it's kind of weird you bothered to watch it in the first place. I'd say a larger capacity battery (that...

    New Rivian customer satisfaction campaign -- halfshaft issue (on 2022 R1S and R1T)

    Ugh, Iā€™ve been waiting to deal with taking my truck down to Orlando for this, which iā€™m very concerned wonā€™t be able to be done in the 2 days I am hoping to give them the truck so I wonā€™t have to take a loaner home to Tallahassee and come back later to swap. Their system for scheduling service...

    Installed Second Horn (Hella) on my Rivian

    So there are all sorts of regulations for lights and tesla got in trouble for their custom horn sounds, but there are no rules for how loud a horn has to be? Thatā€™s easy to measure, too.

    Installed Second Horn (Hella) on my Rivian

    The double horns in the original setup arenā€™t especially loud, I canā€™t imagine what it is with half the power. I get cutting costs, but some of this seems like low hanging fruit only because they designed a lot of the major structures and systems in ways that are inefficient to manufacture at...

    Boat Show - Show the boats you're towing with your Rivian

    EOH is way smoother than surge, but the surge works. If I end up getting a new trailer built or buy a new boat and trailer, Iā€™ll probably go back to EOH.

    Driver display efficiency meter clipping?

    It should show the right average regardless of the display itself clipping, which Iā€™m fine with. Having it peg the number at 4 just because thatā€™s the scale of the graph is poor programming.

    All Purpose Mode surprise

    Iā€™ve tried conserve a couple times and I find the truck pretty lethargic, plus you donā€™t even have the option of all wheel drive and full power if you need it quickly. What sort of miles per kWh have you gotten running like that?

    “New” Quad Motor R1T pricing is crazy and not sustainable (even if Cybertruck priced higher than original reveal price estimate)

    I assumed a max pack R1T quad would have been well over $100k when I made my day 1 deposit. Maybe $115k. That would have made sense compared to tesla model X pricing. When the original price announcement came out I was pleasantly surprised, but also assumed they would have to cheapen the vehicle...

    Need Advice - My R1S with 29 miles is a lemon

    they can do the right thing here if they want to, so hopefully they will. This sounds like a great vehicle for them to fix and make into a loaner

    Florida Rivian Club

    Iā€™m in Pensacola for blue angels this weekend in my R1T and saw a black R1S downtown, but hopefully you see more and more

    3 things I HATE about my Rivian R1T after 10,000 miles -- JerryRigEverything

    my early R1T (vin 3111) gets water in the doors after a car wash or a lot of rain and I thought something was wrong but it drains pretty quickly and the sloshing stops. I think I just kept hearing it after pulling out of the car wash and thought there was something wrong.

    GM adopts Tesla's NACS standard! Munro begs Rivian to switch

    Whether itā€™s a true standard or not, they have released the specs for it and they have a ton of vehicles and chargers out there now using it successfully every day. The idea of a ā€œstandardā€ sounds good but at the end of the day comparing the two connectors, one is much better than the other AND...

    Ford/Tesla Deal: Access to Superchargers, adapter coming, future EVs will have NACS (Tesla) port

    might have just been wanting to try out their CCS adapter. I've seen some Teslas pull in to charge at EA chargers and say they were just making sure it worked.

    Ford/Tesla Deal: Access to Superchargers, adapter coming, future EVs will have NACS (Tesla) port

    I talked to one guy charging a Tesla at an EA station and he told me he did it because he had another EV with included charging and that EA isn't currently ID'ing the vehicle, so the free charging is just on your account and when you activate a charge with your app it's free even when it's your...

    New Rivian colors EVERGREEN and SLATE revealed by RJ on "Ask Rivian" segment (watch inside)

    considering how mediocre CCS charging is, they shouldn't have needed any additional fire lit under them to motivate them to build as quickly as possible, but CCS is a stupid bulky connector and I'd rather everything just use NACS on the merits of its design. CCS is just what happens when...

    New Rivian customer satisfaction campaign -- halfshaft issue (on 2022 R1S and R1T)

    I love the truck overall, but the tocking noise has gotten so loud people have started asking about it when they ride in the truck. You can hear all 4 just clunking back and forth (and frequently all separately if you're not going straight). This is a pretty simple mechanical issue that no other...

    What do you want addressed in the next OTA update?

    I have no idea why removing one of the 3 items in the vehicle menu to get down to 2 options there while further complicating the settings (when these arenā€™t settings) made any sense to Rivian. Iā€™m sure they plan to have more stuff on the vehicle page, but we are a lonnnng way from the trip...
