There’s not much to this PSA. Here’s my driver’s door. I suppose it’s a ring or a watch doing the scratching, but usually my watch is covered by a shirt or jacket. “Chrome by the arm” is not a design choice I would have personally made, but I’m not a car designer. At least use hard metal.

As you can see, there is almost no battery degradation. Maybe 0.5%, but that could easily be explained by temperature fluctuations and noise. This is a great result, and much better than Tesla. I wonder if one could trade faster DC fast charing at above 80% SoC for a greater amount of...

… “To qualify for this limited-time offer, you must request a trade-in estimate, submit an order in R1 Shop and take delivery of your eligible R1S or R1T by March 31, 2025.” Sounds like the article which noted a dip in January sales was, in fact, spot on, despite the “my uncle’s cousin’s...

To me, the Rivian bed is just 6” shy of being truly useful. I think Rivian would sell more trucks by lengthening the R1T a bit. That leaves space for a few more battery modules, too. Thoughts?

R1S Dual Max Performance: Nokian LT3s, 65-70 MPH average speed: 231 miles total range R1T Dual Max, Nokian R5s, 65-70 MPH average speed: 205 miles total range All data automatically collected via electrafi.com for this winter's driving. Pretty sad, but about what I expected. It's been cold...

Many times have I flipped the car from reverse to drive, or vise versa, only to find that it didn't take. It turns out, at least on G1 vehicles, that one can flub the stalk, see and feel it moving appropriately, but it's just shy of triggering the sensor. Now, you're still left in the mode you...

Twice on a recent road trip I needed to rapidly decelerate from 60+ MPH on a dry road. Regen was set to high. Upon pressing the brake pedal, the brakes felt "dead"--like I didn't have any hydraulic assist. Upon taking my foot off and re-applying, the brakes then seemed to "work". I think this...

If you need to jump a G1 Rivian primary battery, you might be surprised that the tow hitch terminals, which are red and black in the owners guide, may both be black. Nice. In that case, you need to fully unwrap the black electrical tape that covers both wires, and you will find the colors. I...

Well, it finally happened to me. Plugged the car in last night, it charged from 50% to 70%, came back out this morning and it was bricked (and still plugged in). I assume this is a 12V battery failure, something I've never had in 25 years of car ownership (across about seventeen cars). For all...

Twice now, my Rivian has let mine drive away with PAAK, only to decide a key is no longer present in the vehicle after I have parked miles from home. Both times a reset solved the issue. Is there a way to prevent this going forward? Is it a hardware defect, or is this yet another Rivian bug I...

That is all. I can use my phone in the meantime, but it never proximity unlocks up the car without fumbling for it in my pocket (and waking it up) first. Latest iPhone. At least the fob proximity unlocks “most” of the time.

My Rivians get more rain drops on their exterior camera lenses than any other car I’ve driven. Either their placement doesn’t heed aerodynamic principles or the lenses themselves are not coated properly. I’ve tried RainX to no avail; what is the latest thinking about how to remedy this? There...

For a long time other people who drive my Rivians thought they were getting good efficiency by looking at the history view on the instrument panel, which shows a heavy black line around 2 mi/kwh. They thought it was the "target", roughly equivalent to the EPA rated range, and felt good when they...

I have lossless Apple Music on my iPhone, but when streaming identical tracks, Apple Music in the car sounds much better. They may have taken the spatial processing from desktop iTunes. It makes the Rivian audio system decent! If I have to pay extra for better audio, I will. I would prefer if I...

I was up in Seattle this weekend and I noticed the University Village space has closed. The Lucid space nearby is still there. Are there plans to open one up somewhere else in the city?

... this means the app. is pretty much useless. I was on the iOS 18.1 beta on my old phone; switching to the new phone (also on the iOS beta) I lost key access, which is expected, but, and am unable to re-create it. Rivian wants to set up the key using the old name of my phone (oddly), but the...

… across three Rivians. I think this is the second nail I’ve taken in the tire within the first 2,000 miles. There is no pattern to it. Sometimes it’s close to home, sometimes it’s a hundred miles away, sometimes it’s at a school. Over 12 years of EV ownership I think I’ve repaired a flat...

So far there have been three scapes/dings on my R1T while it has ben street parked. Gear Guard didn't catch any of them. It's kind of a useless feature. Worse than useless since it promises something and then fails to deliver.

... from my phone and both fobs, both at home and in foreign locations. Hard reset did not solve it. Has anyone else had this occur? I'll add it to my list of issues. I just got out of service for a drive unit replacement at 1,500 miles, not itching to go back. Fortunately this is a minor issue.
