The Inn at Death Valley (nee Furnace Creek Inn) has a couple of Tesla level 2 chargers. But the Plugshare comments aren't very encouraging.

The trip computer adds the energy added to the battery at a charging stop to the total used during the trip. That's double counting. (The energy app does it. correctly.) In the example below, I added about 60 kWh at the charger:

OTOH, I've noticed that ABRP shows different numbers than the car and the Rivian app do for charging speed. And why does it show 14v when not charging?

So ABRP can see the data but RIvian can’t display it on it’s own screen :confused:

It’s an ”Adventure vehicle” :-) to me that means off-road. Sometimes far off road. I‘ve had two flats on my old R1T that I had no choice but to change the tire myself in order to get back to civilization. In both cases, the crappy R1S fake inflatable spare would probably have worked but I...

We’re getting close to an understanding. (That it takes so much work to figure this out is a pretty serious indictment of the design!) The way I see it is that the two donut charts are showing two different things, on two different scales, and it’s a big mistake to make them concentric. That’s...

The screenshot on the left is what I see when charging. As soon as I stop and start driving I get the one on the right. But it's during charging that it's most useful to see the battery temp. Yes, maybe I could get it in Service mode but why not here???

Or better yet, a full size spare for the R1S.

Close, but not exactly :) . Here's a mini Excel sheet with the numbers from my example above (I omitted the zero for outlets): Pasting the two donuts together perfectly reproduces Rivian's version above: As you can see the outer donut ("yellow circle") does NOT include the energy taken from...

I think I've finally understood what the donut chart on the right hand side of the energy monitor screen means. Here's an example: Let the numbers shown below the donuts be denoted: W = net wheels (this is net of used - regen) S = systems H = HVAC O = outlets and the...

The recent improvements to the NAV system haven't fixed my biggest gripe: when I zoom out the map to the scale that I like it insists on scaling it back to some default every time I click on a charging icon and then dismiss it. I have to zoom back out again to see the next one that I'm...

They spend so much effort making the interface pretty and cute that they compromise function :-(

The trip computer is an essential tool in some off-road adventures. So is the pitch and roll indication. But there's plenty of screen space for everything: just add a third column of gauges on the right and squeeze out a little of the white space around the vehicle graphic.

The altitude display is sometimes badly off. I drove up to Lick Observatory yesterday which is at about 4200 ft and when I stopped the display said 2200. It got better after approx 30 minutes in Park. When I got back to my home at 740 ft the display said 336 and stayed that way for hours in my...

My new R1S Quad on Mt. Hamilton:

Note that a 26% grade is "only" 15 degrees. For on-road use it might be useful to optionally display the angle in percent rather than degrees.

FYI, I did a little experimentation with the pitch and roll indicators. It seems that the little red lines for pitch are at 45 degrees while the ones for roll are at 35 degrees: (No, I didn't do both of those at the same time! This was pasted up with Photoshop from two separate trials.) IMHO...

Yes! Those of us with eyes that have seen a few too many decades can have a hard time with Rivian's teeny font sizes.

My take: this is a major step forward with a bit of room for improvement. * taking away the trip meters in Off-Road mode is a bummer; I frequently use off-road guide books that have all the turns and points of interest referenced by mileage from the start. There's plenty of room for nine...
