Mobile service came by yesterday and installed my spare tire. Felt bad for the guy because it was 100 degrees yesterday, but I was able to angle my truck into the garage so he would at least be in the shade. He attempted to reprogram my truck to accept a new card key, but he couldn't get it to...

So Ford spends money lobbying for the EV tax credit, and then prices most of their configs out of the tax credit range. Really great planning there Ford. I compared the config I ordered and passed on to the 2023 version, went from $80,849 to $89,599. $85k dual motor R1T is looking better and...

Motley Fool is the worse possible source for financial news. They just make clickbait articles every day.

tldr; They didn't show up Got a call 3 weeks ago that my spare tire was in. They scheduled a service appointment for today to install the spare tire and to reprogram the Rivian so I can actually use the card keys they gave me. Appointment window came and went, and nothing. Called the service...

My garage is regularly in the 90s during the day in the summer. Truck has been charging fine at 48 amps.

I'm betting 800v system will be tied to the dual motor versions coming out in a few years. Rivian still needs to work on thermal management too.

I would be happy with text message support of some type.

Railway transport can delay things a lot. Sometimes the railway car will get disconnected at a depot and can sit there for a week or two. Happens with Ford sometimes.

That 79 percent statistic that Apple came up with is bullshit. Apple has less than 60% of cell phone market share in the US. Then you also have to add in people like my parents who barely even use their in car infotainment system and couldn't care less what it supports. Rivian's navigation...

If they could get 1 RAN charger running on I-5 between LA and SF at Kettleman City or Harris ranch, that would mean you'd only need to use 1 EA charger for probably 10 minutes to make the trip.

Rivian really needed to add running boards for shorter people. I'm 5'9" and the lowest setting for the R1T is about perfect for me. Anyone shorter than that is going to have some issues.

I used autopilot quite a lot on my Model Y. Never had any issues with it. Over 1.5 years it phantom braked 3 times. It also did a good job swerving out of the way when a big rig started to creep into my lane. I learned to trust it after a few months. Driver+ so far I really don't trust it...

I suggest you avoid any non-tesla EVs at this point. Its going to be a few years before 3rd party chargers are reliable, and you really need to use something like ABRP and Plugshare to plan charging stops on your route. I used to get hood latch errors with my Model Y as well, and just started to...

My guide has been very responsive and usually will answer my emails within an hour of sending them (during normal business hours).

This is still a long ways away. Tesla will start producing the new chargers later this year, that will likely have a longer cord and ccs plug. Who knows when they'll actually start deploying them. I still trust Tesla more than EA for pushing out chargers fast though. Even if the supercharger...

TLDR; Usually only drive 7k miles a year. Did 1k miles in less than 4 weeks. Great truck. Driving: 9/10 Overall the R1T is very fun and easy to drive. Transitioning from my Model Y to the R1T was pretty easy. I started with standard regeneration and now I drive with high regeneration...

If you have an ea station near you, you should try again. If it doesn't work file a support ticket.

This has to be an issue with your truck. I tried 2 EA stations and both worked on the first try. There are going to be broken stations, but unlikely to this extent.

Rivian follows the Tesla strategy of slowly rolling it out to vehicles in batches. You'll get the notification that its available eventually.

Didn't touch the truck at all yesterday, and confirmed it charged 3.4 kW this morning.
