  1. Tire Rotation in Orange County, CA???

    I need to get my tires rotated, but no shop I've talked to has the pucks. Has anyone found a shop that has them? Service Center can do it, but not for a couple of weeks. I want to get it done this weekend, as I am driving to Idaho on Tuesday. Thanks, Jeff
  2. Orange County, CA to Newdale, ID - SUCCESS!

    I just got back from a 2,000-mile trip to Idaho. I was a little apprehensive, but everything worked great. I charged at EA stations exclusively and only had one minor hiccup on a charger that was resolved by switching chargers. EA is making some network upgrades, so all charges were...
  3. How do you keep the charger handle cool?

    I’m taking a long road trip this week and am trying to determine how to get the best charging speed. I used a 150kW charger and it delivered 148-150kW for about 8 minutes, then dropped to 34kW. The truck said charge was limited by the station. I checked the handle and it was HOT. So, I...
  4. Alignment after service

    My truck was in for service last week. Today, I noticed the truck pulls to the right pretty strong. I don’t know what service would have done, but I also notice all of my wheels had blue stickers on them after I got it back. Before service, alignment was great. Should I bring it to Rivian’s...
  5. Anyone in Orange County, CA with Launch Green Xpel Stealth?

    I am considering getting Xpel Stealth on my R1T. I would love to see it in person before committing. Anyone have it and willing to meet up somewhere?
  6. Home Charger Wiring, Does This Work?

    I am not an electrician but will hire one to do the job. I am just curious if this wiring would work or if I need another selector switch? Can you even have a 14-50r on a 60A breaker? NO I know I could not use the outlet and the wall charger at the same time. They would not be. The outlet...
  7. Anyone driven Las Vegas to Idaho?

    I will be taking a road trip in September from SoCal to Idaho. I will be staying in Vegas both directions, so mainly concerned about Vegas to Newdale, ID or at least Salt Lake City. how bad will elevation gain hurt the efficiency? Using ABRP, what should I put in for a more reasonable...
  8. PPF is a necessity

    So I now have two chips through clear coat and paint. One from a rock, on the hood. And the second from a shopping cart on passenger door. Both now expose bare metal and the cart left a small dent. At this rate, my launch green will be primer gray in a year. I am shocked how weak the clear...

  11. Delivered! My Rivian Story

    I must say that despite all of the gaffes that Rivian has had, this is still one of my best car buying experiences. I placed my order in November 2020 a few days prior to the configurator going public. I had always wanted a 300-mile range EV and a truck is that much better! I knew it would...
  12. Taking Delivery Wednesday

    I am getting my R1T tomorrow afternoon. I’m super excited and hope the experience is positive. Has there been anything that current owners recommend that I make sure the delivery person goes over? I am new to EVs and expect it to be pretty straightforward. added: should I be concerned that...
  13. Efficiency with tent mounted above bed

    Does anyone have a tent mounted on their R1T? I’m curious how much of a mileage hit you take? I will be driving from SoCal to Missouri to Idaho and back to SoCal in October. Looks to be about 30 hours to Missouri and another 30 hours to Idaho. Probably want to have a tent, just in case. My...
  14. Customer Service Responses (or lack there of)

    I always get a kick out of the non-answers that Rivian Customer Service gives. I almost prefer no communications vs what CS sends out. Here is my latest communications regarding the 12v system. It took 8 days to formulate this non-answer. Question #1 Is the 12v battery accessible and can it...
  15. With Spotify Service Down, What Do You Listen To?

    The internet is seeing major outages at this time and Spotify is a casualty of that. What would you listen to? I would listen to HD radio. I did see one video clip that HD was included!
  16. Is there demand at the new price?

    It will be very interesting to hear if Rivian is still getting pre-orders at the new price. I watched a YouTube video last night talking about "Price Gate" and if there is no demand at the higher price, Rivian is screwed. If Rivian needs higher prices to be profitable and everyone cancelled...
  17. Did Amazon also get an increase?

    I am curious how much Mr. B has to pay now for his delivery vans?
  18. Rivian DELIVERED!!!!!! Don't click, you'll be sorry. :-)

    OK, sorry for the clickbait, but they did deliver something today! I haven't opened it yet.
  19. At what point is the R1T outdated?

    With the next inevitable delay and the slow ramp up, will the R1T become outdated before significant deliveries even start? If they take 2-3 years to clear the current backlog of orders, will the R1T still be relevant? They are trying to come to market with killer specs for 2018, but it’s...
  20. Tick Tick Tick...

    OK, we have 2 1/2 weeks left in the month of February. I have a VERY difficult time believing that any significant non-employee deliveries have happened yet. There was an article about ramping up to 200 per week. Let's assume this article was off by 50% and as several here have stated, the...
