I briefly hit 211kW while preconditioned to 87 degrees with about 55% SOC at a supercharger with an adapter.

My brother was more into the speed side but I think people seeing folks they know with them helps regardless of the motive. You realize a lot of the incorrect stereotypes are just that. Had a friend who has a Tundra tell me "yeah but you can't pull my horse trailer" but then I showed him I...

I find the best way to convince people is to take them for a drive. My brother surprised me with a text saying he's getting a TUWC installed at his house this week after I took him for his first ride and showed him launch mode in my R1T. I bought mine after seeing the Scout Launch and riding in...

Ok so I gave it a fair shake today. We drove about 90 miles to the airport. The last 20 miles I preconditioned the battery to use a DCFC near the air port to top up before we left it sitting for a week at the long term lot. Ambient temp 55, battery was about 75 the whole drive because of home...

See if you can get them coated with Line X or Rhino Liner

I'm not asking if a warm battery charges faster/better, but rather does preconditioning have a significant enough impact to offset the extra energy use and cost? Yes, some of that was heating the cabin but I've driven plenty of short drives all winter in much colder temps and get just under...

Hopefully. Battery was 50 degrees pulling out of the garage so there wasn't much bringing it up to temp getting done. Definitely saw the motors temps cranking up to about 160-170 so I'm hoping once they're up to whatever preconditioning temp Rivian targets the energy usage drops considerably.

So I took my '22 R1T LE out to try to DCFC for the first time locally. We're going on a trip this weekend and I just wanted to see how it worked and ensure that it did. Drove about 5 miles from my house to a Supercharger. The truck was preconditioning and clearly cooking extra electrons as I was...

First real go at it. 2022 LE Quad, 44k mi, SOC 58%, cold 20" Toyo OC AT3 EV, battery 65°, air temp 70°

Have you gotten actual quotes on doing the job? I would start there. Personally, I like knowing I have the maximum capability so in a pinch I know it's the best I could manage. Cutting your charge time by an hour with 50 vs 60 amps might not matter but also could mean staying up an extra hour to...

Sure I get that, but if it the leak is bad enough that after a week and a half the wheel well is hitting the tire? I still have 16k and 1.5 years on the warranty so I guess I'll just keep bringing it up anytime it's in for service? Not sure if that's ever been done. I bought the trucks at 40k...

So I have noticed for a few months now the front suspension often has to raise up usually at the first stop I make when driving after it's been sitting a while, like overnight or when leaving work. I didn't think much of it but we went on vacation for about 9 days around New Year's and the truck...

Looks good! I've debated bronze wheels on my launch green R1T but like the stock AT wheels a lot too. I have those Toyos, they're great and still get around 2.1mi/kwh so not much range hit. Lastly, holy camber batman have Rivian do an alignment! That last picture is visibly negative cambered...

I want a deployable corner bed step! I miss that from my Ram so much!

I figured this would happen, hence why I pulled the trigger on the Rivian. I hadn't really considered replacing my ICE Ram with an EV truck until the Terra was announced, I got enamored, and put a reservation in. But I realized shipping in late 2027 initially probably meant my spot wouldn't be...

Yes we have a thick rubber gasket on the bottom

I have the portable but only 120v outside and the portable charger would be buried in snow

Hey all! With the recent snow, I bit the bullet and parked outside so my wife could have the garage. Managed to sneak the L1 portable charger under the garage door to try and keep it plugged in the cold. It got me thinking if I could just get a J1772 extension for my Tesla UWC so I could stay on...

Weren't the LFP Rivians having a major issue with overestimated ranges and vehicles dying with 10% remaining prior to the update?

Interesting, I see significantly more R1T in my area than R1S. 3 of them at my kids after school program even. But we live in a very heavily EV area
