    Passenger side window opened by itself at 3:30 am in the rain

    This sucks ... good thing you have video evidence. I noticed a glowing appearing from the driver side, looked like the screen came on for a moment. Hopefully Rivian will cover the cost to remediate the interior that got wet. Door switches and seat controls are most likely damaged. I'd demand...

    Over a year later & still looking for a pano roof shade that fits my R1S

    I installed the Hansshow one on my 23 R1S and found that there is definitely a front and rear orientation. It fits tightly and no light comes through. It is unwieldy to install so I haven't removed it in over a year. I wish Rivian had installed a motorized shade. I would have gladly taken...

    Garage Door Opening Randomly

    If you happen to have a Liftmaster 888LM wall controller, these have a know failure that will trigger the door. Liftmaster will replace them for free. Both of mine failed a few years back

    EV Play Preorder - Now Live (and working!)

    Have you tested in extreme heat conditions? Is the HW rated for temps that can get 120+ in a parked vehicle?

    Frunk Emergency Access Tool Holder Idea

    Nice idea, buying one of these will insure that my 12V battery will never die outside of my home.

    Emergency Jump starter powerful enough for dead Rivian 12v

    Rivian really needs to either make a jump pack that is suitable for their vehicles or recommend one that is tested and proven to work. The 12V batteries really seem to be the vehicle's Achilles Heel.

    Gen 1 Vampire Drain (Possibly) Solved (or Hacked)

    I did that right away as your random tow truck driver may not know how to properly tow the vehicle. Bookmark it on your phone as well

    Vampire Drain Fix: How to solve in under a minute (indoor or outdoor)

    It all really depends on where you live. Electricity cost in So Cal is >3x what you are paying, so over the course of a month it really starts to add up and is ultimately wasteful. For me, using your 3kWH/night number (which is similar to what I was seeing), you are talking almost $400/yr in...

    RJ shows R2 in e-coat!

    Was going to reply the same as well. That's my inclination, but it does seem quite large; however, I'm not an expert in this area.

    NEW Rivian Phone Holder w/ Riser Arm V2 (Patent Pending) Available w/ Semiconductor Cooling MagSafe/Qi2 Wireless Charger from EveryAmp

    Thanks, so will the charger AND cooler run at reduced wattage or will only the charging portion function? I'm OK with slower charging rates, but really need the cooling feature. Right now, I use a MagSafe charger connected to the center console USBC port and keep the iPhone in a dash mount...

    NEW Rivian Phone Holder w/ Riser Arm V2 (Patent Pending) Available w/ Semiconductor Cooling MagSafe/Qi2 Wireless Charger from EveryAmp

    Can you confirm if there are any issues using the cooler charger and either the center console or rear lower USBC ports? I already have something else occupying my OBD2 port and do not wish to unplug/replug the adapter. Also, is your code still working for Rivian discount? Thanks!

    Gen 1 Vampire Drain (Possibly) Solved (or Hacked)

    Great ... I just might have to give this a try as well. The occasional VD even with a Battery Tender attached is still frustrating!!

    Phantom / Vampire Drain Solution Works! Using 12v Battery Tender

    I can confirm that this happens. I have BT access to the app denied (iOS), and STILL if I walk into the garage with my phone, the car will sometimes wake up to "confirm" that the BT device it saw should unlock the vehicle. And then it's a crap shoot if the car will go right back to sleep or...
