I’ve been getting dozens of push notifications that the alarm is triggered on the app, mostly while parked at work. As far as I can tell, the alarm itself isn’t going off (I’m frequently close enough to hear it, and my assistant’s desk is literally 10 feet from my front bumper when parked). It...

That's gonna take a while to buff out. I hope there were no injuries.

FWIW, I had some cheap .75" eyebolts sold for attaching to kayak racks, and they slid right in, worked perfectly to hold the 19mm stretcher bar for my Mooonshade awning.

It seems that Tesla has quietly added another CCS friendly location more or less on the I-20 corridor, in Alabaster, AL. There is already a 4 cabinet EA site there, but I've never seen it with all 4 cabinets working, and there is often a line to charge. Still really wishing for the...

I don't know for sure that he's evil, but since I'm good I assume he's the evil one. My friends will text me once or twice a week that they saw me somewhere that I wasn't. I finally saw the other white R1S, roof racks, same wheels and tires, but sadly it got into an apparent disagreement with...

Took my R1S to the Memphis service center for sn alignment, wheel rotation, backup light recall, and a small list of annoyances like a loose roof trim piece. They reached out last week (for the recall) and although I didn't have any pressing issues I asked if they could take care of my list at...

The entire history and checkins for the Memphis EA station (the only fast CCS in the entire city) has been memory holed. The station has been completely off line for several months, and had been the object of a lot of criticism. Looking at other EA stations in the region, checkins are still...

I've been complaining for months now that EA has never fixed a charger or station that I've reported broken. That's no longer valid--looking on Plugshare today the Jackson, TN EA station appears to be fully functional for the last couple of days. It had been derated "for active maintenance"...

I haven't seen anyone post this article, but it talks about a 2300 mile cross country in a Lucid, and points out that fast charging capability doesn't do you much good if the chargers aren't reliable. Same issues those of us who've road tripped in the middle of the country have had with the...

Last week I drove the R1S from Memphis to Oshkosh for the annual Airventure airshow. It's roughly 800 road miles each way, depending on the exact route. ABRP has multiple options. I've made the trip 3 times in a Tesla Model S since 2015 with zero drama. Tesla superchargers are plentiful...

I’m typing this on my IPad which was charged in the Rivian, in a mostly dark house without electricity since Tuesday. The Rivian is in the garage in camp mode, with two 50 foot heavy duty extension cords end to end reaching into the kitchen, running a large refrigerator, a freezer, and a...

I hadn't driven the R1S in over a week for a variety of reasons. I did a 1000 mile weekend round trip in my wife's GLC43 SUV because, well 1000 miles over three days and ICE. While at the destination drove our best "beater," a 2005 Mercedes E class wagon that is living out its retirement at a...

I typically spend a few days at the EAA convention in Oshkosh the last week in July. I've attended every possible way over the years, flying in and tent camping, borrowing a motorhome, staying with friends in Milwaukee (they've moved), and tent camping with my Tesla. I'm considering camping...

I'm not sure why it seems to be a secret, but there are two Waypoint chargers next to Poplar Tree Lake in Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park. They are depicted on the map on the Rivian website, but not in the truck's nav system (although others in the region are). Both chargers work as...

I've daydreamed about this, but this guy has the expertise to actually do it. I'd love to have something like this:

Title says it all. Leaving on a trip about 1 PM tomorrow, first leg is through a charging desert (258 miles) with a headwind. I want to leave at 100% around 1 PM, but don't want the pack sitting at the voltage any longer than necessary. My plan is to charge to 85% tonight, then put the...

I've had my R1S for 9 days now, and it currently has 993 miles on it. The biggest chunk of that was the 800 mile trip home in terrible weather from Detroit (where I took delivery) to Memphis, where I live. There have been a few common complaints about the early R1S (my VIN is 35xx) that...

I looking at the Charging map on Rivian's website, there appear to be a bunch of Rivian waypoint chargers in Tennessee, and specifically several around Memphis. I was in the area where one of the chargers depicted this morning, but the in car Nav, and plugshare don't seem to be aware of it (if...

Ok, so I know it’s not recommended, and even Rivian’s official guidance seems to discourage it, but I haven’t seen it reported on the forums, except in the context of freezing temps and unable to keep up with vampire drain. last night, with my R1S at about 66%, I set the charge limit to 85% and...

I’m on day 5 of R1S ownership, on the factory 20” AT wheel/tire setup. The first day was driving 800 or so miles home, with strong headwinds, cold temps and heavy rain. Maximum realistic range in those conditions was probably 230-240 miles. I have a trip I’d like to make from Memphis to...
