    Took Delivery Yesterday of my R1S

    Congrats! We love our trucks. Can’t imagine driving anything else now.

    The R1T tailgate trim is not robust enough IMO

    I agree, wish it were reinforced.

    Rivian's First Concept Experience opens in Meatpacking District, NYC

    Are they really planning for 50? Do we know where? I’ve only seen a handful on the map.

    Camp Speaker in Gear Shop

    I don’t go to public campgrounds, to clarify. I live in the middle of nowhere.

    Camp Speaker in Gear Shop

    lol yeah, we just got the one with our used R1S and I have to agree, the sound quality is great and it seems built like a tank, but the interface was designed by an actual space alien.

    Camp Speaker in Gear Shop

    For any Gen2 or I guess any owners since they stopped including them (LE?), it’s available for $400 now. Debating if I need one or I just steal the one from my wife’s R1S and give her my drawer whenever I camp. Wonder if they changed it at all? https://rivian.com/gear-shop/p/camp-speaker

    The Ultimate Rivian RTT Showdown: Air Cruiser vs. iKamper Skycamp Mini

    Mine came the other day, FedEx helped my wife bring it into the garage because it was raining and I was out. Box is a little beat up, but nothing crazy. Looking forward to taking it out in the next week or two with my daughter!

    Dual Standard Road Trip Range?

    My winter average with a Gen2 Dual Standard R1T was right around 2.0 which makes 182mi. As the weather warms, I’m currently up to 2.35kw/mi average, putting us at 214mi. I suspect I’ll end up with about 2.7 average for April-October to make it 246mi, just about the EPA average. Hope that’s helpful!

    Slate Auto - Jeff Bezos' $25k EV Pickup Spotted With Heavy Comanche Vibes

    Are there enough 18-30 year old folks without any pets or kids that want/need a truck and want an EV but can't afford a Lightning or Rivian? Maybe? I love the idea of more EV's for competition in general, but I have a hard time placing the market prospects of this thing, given that I can get a...

    Gen1 Go-Chime

    I need to check it on our R1S LE to see, but I think what folks brought up earlier about the internal camera, that might be it - didn't they remove that from Gen1 pretty early on right after LE moved to Adventure trim? I wonder if that's the difference?

    BYD Shark on the Road Very Nice

    Exactly. I know my truck kicks your vehicles ass, but I don’t need it to tell you ahead of time. Subtle excellence is a branding feat few others can accomplish. If Rivian can put out a $45k mid size for the average consumer considering an EV, and maintain that brand image, they’ll have...

While not essential, would certainly increasing uptake rate on camping for my wife and eldest child if we can pump the hvac into the tent. what are folks using?

    Recommended Adapter for Tesla in-home charger

    I have the A2Z which I now use for both of our Rivians, because of course I didn't opt for the "Universal" charger when we got our Tesla. The adapter gets used almost every other day at home and have had zero issues since I bought it in September.

    The 2025 Rivian R1S Large pack is...uh...not so Large (or efficient)

    Yeah, this is why I have a Gen2 Dual Standard R1T and Gen1 Quad Large R1S. I almost got the large for our first one the R1T, but then I read about the pack size differential and didn’t see the point in spending the extra money. My standard pack Gen2 efficiency is 2 in winter in Maine, and...

    Great to see it. While the volume isn’t huge, it’s a major get for them and lots of businesses in this scale/scope that could see success with the vehicle and buy in.
