As the passenger, voice commands are easier than reaching over to the steering wheel. 😁

Large Charge Marge got it early this afternoon. It’s pretty cool! “Hey, Rivian. Next“ skips to the next song in an Apple Music playlist. (Marge is Gen 1.) She won’t vent windows while driving (“safety concerns”).

Gen 1 Dual Max Pack here. Haven’t noticed the charging glitch, but wow! We’ve almost been stranded more than once on the interstate. We fast charge and the estimate is we’ll get to the next charger with 25% or so. We arrive with 2 or 3%, and that’s with driving below the speed limit. The weather...

How often do we charge to 100%? Whenever we start our two-day drive to see the adorable grandchildren...about 9 times a year. Add another 10 or so long trips a year to that, occasionally towing. We have a Max Pack R1T dual motor. Her name is Large Charge Marge. She's a magnificent...

@stanseling The owl!

Large Charge Marge (DM max pack) hauls a 5'x9' Hiker Trailer, which has a whopping 5'x7' sleeping area inside. :D Slap a tandem 17.5' Delta Traverse sea kayak on top of the little camper (beside the batwing awning), and throw two bikes on the back for good measure. (NOTE: We switched to...

Discount Tire in Normal says they do Rivian tires all the time. We are getting ready to replace our OEM 21" Pirellis with some Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 21" tires. Costco in Champaign says they have the pucks, but as of early April 2025, they didn't really sound like they knew what they were...

The grandkids will be at our house for spring break, and since we live somewhat near to the mothership, I thought they'd love a factory tour. But when I contacted Rivian, this was the response: Just FYI...

Finally got mine today (July 2) after ordering June 5. (The hold-up was apparently the Stellar J1772 adapter, since I ordered the bundle.) We quickly went to the nearest Supercharger, and the A2Z Typhoon adapter worked perfectly! Both adapters came with padded cases. Nice!

Saw a post on Reddit saying these are available from Pep Boys now. https://www.pepboys.com/michelin-defender-ltx-m-s-2/tires/2795759

500 kw rate in a suitcase-sized charger! https://electrek.co/2024/03/04/google-ev-charging-startup-gravity-fastest-public-chargers-in-us/

Nov 15 2023 R1T delivery. Got the tonneau shipping email, and it should arrive Monday, Feb 19.

Me, too. July 2020 R1T max pack order date; Nov 15 delivery; email yesterday.

From: https://advocacy.consumerreports.org/research/blog-can-the-grid-handle-evs-yes/ "Electrifying the entire US light-duty vehicle fleet by 2050 will require less than 1% growth per year in overall electricity generation. Furthermore, complying with the EPA’s latest GHG standards for light...

Large Charge Marge got her upgrade last night right before bed (1/10/2024). I noticed a lot of downloading from Amazon Cloudfront on my router for Marge's ip address earlier in the evening and figured it was imminent.

I've only had my R1T max pack a couple of months (and my plan is to have the local Discount Tire rotate the tires), but couldn't you buy jack pucks and show the tire center how to use those instead? Might be easier. And wow on VSG's response...apparently he needed to quit drinking and go to...

No joy in Max Pack Land. Large Charge Marge is still sporting 2023.46.0...

I just took delivery of the truck in November, and by the time I went to file an amended return for 2022, the IRS had closed e-filing. (source) So I have not actually filed yet. But, here are the notes I will use to amend my 2022 return once e-file opens back up... Amended tax return -...

Samsung T7 SSD 2TB works great for me: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0874XWW23/ ETA: I also use a 90 degree USB-C adapter: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BNMDRWR6/

On December 21 and 22, Large Charge Marge (dual max R1T) took a trip from central Illinois to the Front Range Mountains 45 min from Denver, mostly on I-80. She spent one night at a hotel in North Platte, NE, not plugged in. Temp range over the two days was 25° to 57° with warmer temps near...
