  1. BestEvMod’s September Giveaway for Rivian Owners!

    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. IN A TRUCK.
  2. Redtiger Labor Day Sale Up to 40% Off! Exclusive Discount for Forum Members!

    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...
  3. Is anyone else frustrated with Alexa?

    No. Turned it off when Alexa frequently could not understand the request. I don’t use it because it’s just frustrating.
  4. Gear Tunnel Confessionals

    AND storage (compressor hoses; first aid kit - or whatever you can fit in that compartment).
  5. Undocumented Changes in 2025.06

    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...
  6. Undocumented Changes in 2025.06

    Judging from this graph, I'm gonna go with "nope, location not a limitation".
  7. Undocumented Changes in 2025.06

    Same here. Did a soft reset; max still at 4 on Gen 1 R1T.
  8. Towing + Efficiency: Please post your experience!

    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...
  9. When will Rivian get CarPlay? Need better Nav and hands free text

    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...
  10. Will this Lectron Adapter work fine at Tesla Supercharging station?

    I have a Lectron CCS/NACS adapter. It WILL work at 250kw Superchargers. It WILL NOT work at 150kw chargers. When I got mine it was difficult to get it to release from a NACS cable. (I practiced on my Level 2 Tesla Wall Connector). After a bunch of tries, it got easier. It also helps to leave the...
  11. Has anyone used the CarPlay adapter from EV Sportline before?

    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...
  12. Has anyone used the CarPlay adapter from EV Sportline before?

    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...
  13. Has anyone used the CarPlay adapter from EV Sportline before?

    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...
