  1. Rivian R2 teething/early gremlin issues -- new owner needs flatbed 4 hours after delivery

    Not this again ... WHY? Do you really think that Rivian is going to refuse to fix something you noticed after delivery? They have no history of that. Do I you really think you can find all potential problems at delivery? Not likely at all, and if you do a thorough inspection there that kind of...
  2. All sound is gone from my R1S GEN 2

    Sleep reset is a thing ...
  3. Rivian R2 teething/early gremlin issues -- new owner needs flatbed 4 hours after delivery

    Yeah that sucks. I'm guessing a pretty simple fix like a connector popped open after a few hours of use. Something that passes the factory tests but will fail early under use. There were a few instances like this in early R1 production. Rivian will of course find and fix the issue and take...
  4. Happy Final Friday in JUNE

    Mom, are we there yet?
  5. Plug and Charge

    Just recently? Perhaps check your credit card expiration in your Rivian account. Rebooting is also a good thing to try. And yes. Try it with Electrify America or one of the few other networks that support plug and charge to see if this is a network issue or an issue with your vehicle.
  6. Charging w/portable battery?

    No, this is not correct. No. What @JacobAZ says is correct. I charge my R1T at campgrounds from the TT-30 using the Rivian mobile connector and an EV specific TT-30 to 14-50 adapter. I have been doing this for 4 years. The TT-30 can provide 30A @120V under these conditions, which you should...
  7. Home Delivery is now $1,500 *IF*

    So when you bought your first new car you never looked at the contract and wondered about the destination fee, the documentation fee, etc. And tried to negotiate out of paying an extra $1000 or whatever? And never learned that it is non negotiable and the same for everyone, regardless of where...
  8. Home Delivery is now $1,500 *IF*

    Honestly, why do people still ask this question? Haven't they ever purchased a car before? This is part of the same law that established the Monroney sticker, in 1958.
  9. Towing efficiency increase if I don't plug in harness?

    Initial projection has always been exceptionally pessimistic for me. I've only towed maybe 4 different times, and I believe it always used to start at guessing range would be cut in half, but as it learned it always went up for me. Towing a sedan on a flatbed trailer, total weight 6000 lbs, for...
  10. Energy Monitor Screen - Session Details... Understanding????

    Tap on the center number and it will change to kWh instead of miles. Using miles is stupid
  11. 7-Way Cuts Power To RV

    This is the sort of thing I was implying above. Inrush/surge current or temporary ground fault, there are all sorts of things could cause the"fuse" to trip. The key thing I read in the OP was that a reset fixed the problem - and coincidentally that's also how you have to reset the fuse.
  12. Rivian Hardwired home charger Level 2 or Emporia?

    Check your local power company - many have discounts and rebates for certain approved charges.
  13. No real AM or FM radio in the R2

    It's tricky to use your free account in the Rivian, the default options are to take the free trial but you don't have to do that - there's a totally free tier.
  14. Rivian Insurance: An unexpectedly good experience

    Sure bro. I'm just lying, and so is the state insurance commission. It's far more likely it's "bait and switch”. :rolleyes:
