Anyone else now seeing this? Yes - I realize it's time for a new phone (I'm rocking an iPhone 10x) because the new Rivian app requires a version of IOS that I can't load on my phone, but I was fine with the limited functionality of the app I had. Why did they need to remove my ability to see...

I bought the BestEvMod Frunk Cooler (by @BestEvMod(AOSK)) soon after we picked up our R1S in 2023. It lives under the frunk divider in case we ever need it. I've used it a number of times, but always loading it from home. Tonight I needed it when we were at a friend's graduation party - It...

"Dad - You SO could have smoked that guy" said my daughter after this happened at a red light where it narrowed to one lane not far on the other side of the intersection. Here's the coal-burner from my left camera (we have a '23 Gen1 R1S Quad so please forgive the image quality): 13-second...

I read through all of the Starlink Mini threads and it seems that there are a bunch of Rivian owners who have them. Here's my use case: Tailgating at Penn State. In the subject of this thread I admit that it's pathetic...I'm looking for a way to use my Hulu Live subscription to watch football...

I'll explain below why I needed a PDR (Paintless Dent Removal) visit, but I have to say that watching the process was almost magical. I had asked a friend (who works for a PDR company) to give me an estimate to submit to the insurance company of the person who dented our R1S. He stopped by the...

I'll begin by saying that I love camping - sleeping in a tent and cooking out. I've evolved from the classic 2-burner Coleman white gas stove to a propane oven/stovetop combo for cooking. After getting our R1S I was really looking forward to switching to all electric appliances and did so...

We pulled in to an EA Charging station in a Walmart parking lot this afternoon and everything started off well. I plugged the cable into the Rivian, used the EA app to initiate the charge, and got back into my seat to wait the 30 minutes we expected to be there. I saw the charging speed ramp...

In the fall I picked up a Bluetti AC180 (1152 Wh, 1800W, 2700W peak) for $450 to use as a buffer for my electric appliances while camping. While I don't require the juice often, when warming things up I discovered it was easy to exceed the 1500W limit of the Rivian inverter and cause it to...

For us Gen1 owners with key fobs, the Owner's Manual recommends a specific brand: I just bought 10 of Murata (previously Sony) CR2450's on Amazon, so if you're in the area and ever need a fob battery please let me know and I'm happy to give you one. I'm not interested in shipping lithium...

We're in NYC for a couple of days staying in an apartment on 57th street to which we have access. It's in a beautiful pre-war building with a working fireplace (replaced with gas logs) and amazing woodwork throughout. The downside to the beauty and age is that the building has binary climate...

...by being a little less neurotic about accident avoidance, I'm sure one of the crazy drivers here would total your car within a week! As my 83 year-old father continues to become less young, I have the opportunity to leave Amish country and spend more time with him in Reston. Although...

This was the scene at the RAN in Moosic, PA on the Sunday after Thanksgiving: There are 6 Tesla chargers next to 6 Rivian chargers. All of the Tesla chargers were occupied when we pulled in and the RAN chargers were empty. I picked the next-to-last RAN (the last is marked handicapped) to be...

For anyone one the fence, Blackstone is currently offering their E-Series 22" electric griddle for just $199. I have it and it works really well with the Rivian. I use a Bluetti AC180 as a "buffer" to keep from overloading the Rivian's 1500W limit, but I've learned that you can pretty easily...

Yesterday we went to the Penn State - Ohio State game. It's 124 miles away from home so, with my 273 mile max range, charging is a requirement. We charged to 96% before heading out and arrived with 42%. When we parked I turned on the outlets and made good use of them to cook breakfast on my...

Here's my use case...Tailgating at Penn State. We typically go for the full day and it's nice to have a TV on to watch other games while we celebrate. My initial thought was to simply connect my TV to the Rivian's hotspot and watch the games that way, but my fear is reliable internet access...

Here's my use case...For camping and tailgating, I'd like to be able to use the following devices at full power at the same time without worrying about the 1,500W Rivian limit: Blackstone Electric Griddle (1,600W) Single Induction Burner (1,800W) Portable compressor cooler/freezer (60W) TV (Not...

So - this weekend we're at a VRBO on Long Beach Island (LBI), NJ. There aren't any L3 chargers on the island, so I emailed the owner and asked if I could plug in and charge my EV at the house - they said "Sure - go ahead." I made sure I had my complete "VRBO Kit" (50' 14-50 extension cord and...

The summer camp my daughters attend is putting in a large solar array (costing around $900K) and a couple of us EV users want to donate EV chargers for the camp to install near the visitor center. What suggestions do you have so I can give them an idea of the cost of the chargers? Ideally...

Which gauge do people like for checking tread depth? There are a lot of options out there and I just want something that works easily. Thanks!

We bought our R1S last August and I'm getting ready to renew our registration. I knew from @Zoidz that PA was looking at either a fixed annual EV fee or a mileage-based charge, so I thought I'd do a little digging on my own to see where it stood. Here's what I found from July 10 (full article...
