  1. Rivian is the official EV of "U2:UV Achtung Baby Live At Sphere." Rivian owners invited to concert

    We live 15 miles from the Sphere, so assuming my invitation accidently went to a junk mail box. Lame.
  2. Software Update 2023.42.0 is out (⚠️ UPDATE: OTA fix rolling out today 11/15/23)

    For whatever reason, updates usually push to my vehicle a day or two after many of you. This is the only instance when I have been thankful that the update did not push to my truck right away.
  3. Frunk Water Tank (Rivian-Aftermarket / Boxgods) and Custom 12v installed

    This product (the water tank, not the wiring stuff) is made by Rivian-Aftermarket, a sponsor of this page. I think that's what OP was referring to about the changed being changed? I have one also, although I haven't had an opportunity to use it yet. All of the components seem very well made.
  4. WTF Utah?

    We frequently travel around southern Utah and it has worked out fine. The EA chargers in Mesquite (NV, just before the AZ border) and Cedar City are better than the one in Washington, UT (just outside St. George). There are several decently fast Chargepoint DCFCs in Kanab that we've used a few...
  5. Charging battery to 90% vs 100%?

    I'm currently trying to stick between roughly 40% and 60%, but that's really babying it. I'm trying to compensate a little for the 100% charges and intense battery usage when we travel while towing a 4000 lb trailer.
  6. U2 band in R1S motorcade leaving the Sphere in Vegas

    We're going to the U2 concert at the Sphere in a couple mof weeks. I'm just glad for U2's sake that they aren't taking lame Teslas in the nearby Boring Company tunnels because doing so would be far less awesome than being driven around above-ground in R1Ss.
  7. RAN Rivian Charging Stations Locations Map via Google Maps

    It is indeed. I used it last weekend on the way out of town and it's great just like the other RANs that I've encountered. Town Square LV is a good outdoor mall with a lot of food options.
  8. Software Update 2023.38 Release Notes ?

    There are some spoiled folks out here. The vast majority of vehicles have the same interface and essentially the same software for life. We have had so many great updates since mine was delivered in June 2022. I'm so appreciative of Rivian constantly making my 22,000+ mile truck better...
  9. Poll: Will you trade in/up your Quad Large for Max Pack?

    I'd appreciate some extra range with a dual motor max pack, especially for towing my Taxa RV for longer distances, but it's hard to swallow the price tag given that I was a pre-March 2022 preorder and got into my large pack quad for a relative bargain. And I sort of love my 20,000+ mile R1T...
  10. Electrify America disaster

    Had good experience with EA on a road trip that ended last week. 1,460 miles total into California and back, used EA chargers five times, twice in Bakersfield, once in Fresno, one near Kettleman City, and one in Morro Bay. (Also charged twice at the great RAN in Barstow and twice using free L2...
  11. Current Rivian owners - What’s one change that would make you happier?

    Two things: reduce wind noise at higher speeds, and eliminate the vibration in the accelerator pedal from the AC system. Both are highly annoying in an otherwise amazing vehicle. (Service center said the AC vibration is normal, and their solution of replacing the header piece between the...
  12. Electrify America installing stations in Moab starting 2024

    Thank for the tip about Field Station Moab. Just cancelled a four night reservaion at the Element and booked Field Station for a road trip we're taking to northern AZ/western CO/eastern UT in July. My kind of a place, plus way cheaper, and I like the six EV chargers on site.
  13. Rivian Adventure Network: What's been your experience so far?

    I've only used the Barstow RAN station. One of the six chargers was out the last time I was there, but I've never had to wait and the experience is perfect. Plug it in and the thing rocks and rolls, usually hitting ~215kwh for a bit before ramping down as the battery gets over 60ish%. No...
  14. Vampire drain - what's the latest battery % loss people are getting?

    Was recently away from home for about 7.5 days and my R1T was in my garage, where the temperature was probably 60 degrees on average. GG and proximity unlocking off at home, and no phones/key fob movement in the house. Battery dropped from ~201 miles of range to ~165 during that period, losing...
  15. The good, the bad, the ugly - 2,600 mile round trip Denver to Michigan in the R1T

    My six month old R1T with ~9,100 miles on it has similar issues as your ugly 3/5, and sometimes ugly 2. Cabin noise, specifically wind noise, remains my number 1 gripe with an otherwise terrific vehicle. Compels us to crank the music volume. Had the vehicle serviced in July or August and they...
