You know... I would consider this if it were offered in Rhode Island. Just a little more peace of mind.

Good morning. I initially leased my 2025 R1T. During the configuration process, I was able to both trade in my 2019 Nissan Frontier and qualify for a lease, and my lease was managed by JPMC. Of note: I went into the process being preconditioned by years of dealership games at the time of...

Happens when my husband gets in first with his iPhone Generally, when my knees are in the dashboard and Apple Music needs to be authenticated, I know it's on his setting.

I may try the PIN again to see if it will put me back on the navigation page after it has been entered. When is this supposed to be pushed out?

FWIW - Had the discussion with my husband last night; he asked to cancel our R2 reservation. He cited the overall stability of his Tesla Model Y, and that he really did not want the uncertainty of a "1st Gen" vehicle. I could not argue with his logic. Reservation cancelled as of this morning.

And not to put too fine a point on the matter, but on wrapping up a project this morning, I was short a piece of electric-grade PVC. The local hardware store only had 10' lengths in stock... Thankfully, I had less than a two miles to drive home. I felt like an idiot. For how normally...

I keep revisiting this question. In all honesty, I was never in the "Rah! Rah! Rah! Rivian all the way!" fan club, but I kept an open mind. I really like my R1T, but... my feelings are aging much like the trucks owner. I am finding that the R1T is just... not meeting my needs. We don't camp...

I'm still getting use to talking to the truck. I have used it for navigation, but found that I really need to know where I am going to get the right response. Like "Directions to Walmart Supercenter on Paramount Drive in Raynham Massachusetts". If I just say "Directions to Walmart" I get a...

Living in New England, we have many main roads that are barely wide enough for two lanes of moving traffic PLUS the parked cars. On these road, when there is a parked car at a bend, I get the red "EMERGENCY BRAKE!" warning light that I am about to collide. The same thing happens in the Tesla...

I still get approached by people asking about the Rivian. The conversation is always the same. Their biggest fear is range anxiety. One gentleman said he would not buy anything that gets less than 400 miles in range on a charge. I asked him "How far do you get on a tank of gas?" "240...

It's there, I just wish our PoCo had TOU charging rates to make use of the feature.

When I bought my R1T in October of 2024, I did a lease and banked the buyout portion into my investment savings. I did not quite have enough to buy the truck outright at time of purchase, and the lease put me into a monthly payment that was well within my budget. When the new administration...

Hello! Answers to the above questions. This is a photo the NEMA splitter I am using with the Rivian L2 on the A side and the Tesla L2 on the B side. The splitter plugs into the NEMA 14-50 socket on the wall behind. This wiring (splitter to outlet) never gets hot, nor does the Rivian A...

I routinely inspect our chargers. We use the Rivian and Tesla supplied L2 chargers plugged into a NEMA14-50 splitter. The Rivian unit works well, but the Tesla supplied NACS charger periodically comes loose, both at the plug going into the splitter and where the L2 adapter plugs into the Tesla...

Under my devices, I had to go tap the (...) then enable Sync Messages and Upload Contacts. From there, once I said "Hey, Rivian... send a text to _____." then the it would respond. I have an Android phone; there is an extra step or two for iOS.
