Electric. Acceleration.
Love that smooth, instant, satisfying power, available whenever I need/want it. Never gets old, whether it’s smoothly creeping away in traffic or flat out stomping the “go” pedal just for fun.

What do you think are the dangers of driving at night?
Just drove 1,500+ miles (Pensacola to St. Louis and back) and while most of it was during the daytime, several hours were at night. By far the biggest danger was animals (almost exclusively deer) on the roadside. We just missed driving...
This. The “graph” - the actual sqiggly line - won’t go above 4, no matter what the number shown bottom left displays. The original post didn’t say it did or didn’t and some of us (me included) assumed the squiggly line scaled to reflect the number at the bottom. This led to wondering if Gen 2...
Another experience/data point. Towed a 6x12 U-Haul from Midland, MI in single-digit temps over two days to Pensacola, FL. Hit ice storm in northern Ohio - several vehicles observed crashed on I-75, but R1T shrugged it off as if it was just another sunny day. Had to stop at least 18 times to...
You *CAN* have Apple Carplay and/or Android Auto in your Rivian. You can mount your mobile phone (iPhone and/or Android-based device) adjacent to or on your dash. Several aftermarket mounting systems exist for this exact purpose. Alternatively, you can opt to install or have installed the EV...

I do not have a referral code. I bought it through Amazon and the discount worked out to be the same as ordering direct from CarPodGo. But with Amazon's return policy and Prime.
I really like mine and it's good to be able to just snatch it off the dash and stash it away to discourage any...
CarPodGo does not, to my knowledge, have Rivian-specific instructions. But since the device used to provide power is similar (12v plug, usually called a cigarette lighter adapter), I just . . . watched the EVSportline install video and did the same thing (same fuse tap, same fuse).
I thought...
Went with a CarPodGo to get Android Auto/CarPlay functionality. And here's the best part: ABRP (A Better Route Planner - owned by Rivian) is available as a native app. When connected to the Rivian it shows ETA, estimated range at destination, and current SOC (and yes, I know this is already...
