Same problem here. I just traded my Gen 1 R1T for a Gen 2 R1T with NACCS port. We do not have a wall charger at our summer place. Tried to charge it with my 2018 Tesla Mobil charger. Won't work. Switched to Rivian mobile J1772 charger with the Rivian J1772 to NAACS adapter and no problem...

Okay I went for a demo drive in a Gen 2 R1S. Used the Autonomy +. It's not Tesla point to point but still useful for what I want which is some driver relief on long road trips. Then I went for a demo drive in a Cybertruck. The FSD was everything I have come to love in my wife's Model Y...

Thanks. I guess I need to demo Rivian Gen 2 ADAS. I have thousands of miles, mostly road trips, on the Tesla FSD without any problems except not being able to find the Mesa Airport. Twice. But I take your point and I do pay attention. It certainly relieves the stress and fatigue on a long...

Thanks. I knew the Ford Lightening had been discontinued and thought the Chevy had been also. Did some quick research. Chevy gets some good "truck" reviews, especially range and towing. Negatives were mostly software not as good as Rivian. Also, full size truck is too big for me. That's...

My 2022 R1T is coming up on the 52,500 service and then the 60,000 mile warranty will soon be up. I love the truck. Had 4 Honda Ridglines before this and the RiT is the EV equivalent. On steroids. Our first EV was a Tesla S in 2014 followed by a 3 in 2018 and now my wife's 2024 Y is coming...

I live in PHX and travel to Washington and back for the summers. Avoid I-10 past Quartzite. The trip around Palm Springs and LA can take hours longer than projected due to traffic, construction, accidents weather etc. Quartzite to Needles to Barstow is best route to I-5. Easy drive, much...

I got 31K out of my OEM Pirellis. they were 4-5 32nds. Probably could have gone to 35K but decided to switch them out. Switched to Michelin Defenders. Always had good mileage with these. Up to 100K on my Honda Ridgelines. A week after I put the Michelins on I was coming back from the...

V2H-V2G.

Maybe instead of opening "Spaces" Rivian could staff the Service Centers so that we can get a 2 hour service without leaving our Rivian there for a week?

I have 31,000 trouble free miles on my 2022 R1T. Love the truck. Original 21" Pirellis too. Although I have ordered new Michelins from Discount Tire, 8-10 week wait! It has never had a 7,500 mile service because I could never get an appointment in time here in Phoenix. Finally, for 30,000...

I had a Scout II back in 1975. There's a reason they have not been made in 44 years. They did not meet then automotive standards for quality and reliability. When it ran it was a pretty tough off road machine. I would take it to the beach, run around, then hose it down inside and out! BTW...

Well, I live in phoenix, but not all the time! Heat is not an issue because we are reverse snowbirds. 'We head to WA in the summer. Probably 500 miles in conserve. When I felt I had to stretch range to get to my planned charger. So 3x 1800 miles are highway miles from PHX to WA and back...

I have 23k on my 21's. Discount Tire rotation every 5k. Down to 7/32-6/32. Last rotation at 20k the tech said I should get another 2 rotations. I will make the call at 25k to rotate or replace. It's a safety issue as I will be driving south on I-5 from WA to PHX in October. If I was in...

Here is a new Tesla Supercharger set up in Blaine WA. Centered charger and long cable.

There is a brand new Tesla Supercharger in Blaine WA. It has the new style chargers. More centered on the parking slot and longer cable. Tryed it yesterday. super fast (and expensive).
