  1. Silverado EV

    It seems they could have you bring it in later and still stay in the Q. If it’s not good to drive I could see coming in early and provide a loaner.
  2. Silverado EV

    My tonneau cover replacement took a day and a half. Sparks NV SC. Must be mostly due to suspension issues.
  3. Multiple Rivian Owner and Free NACS Adapter - My Experience

    I got an adapter for my 2022 T and since traded it in for a 2025 S. The guide said keep the adapter instead of leaving it with my T. I assume the new owner of the T will get one and I may end up with two.
  4. Steering wheel and seat movement too long at startup

    I agree it’s a small thing but still a thing. I do like the easy entry and exit. Probably because I’m older. Rivian must have realized it. I just traded my T for a gen 2 S and the first thing I noticed was the wheel and seat movements are quicker and simultaneous. I’m guessing twice as fast. Big...
  5. Garage Door Convenience Button

    My opener has been hit and miss for quite a while when departing. When returning it has always worked. So far.
  6. What does black dot and location on power curve mean?

    Thank you very much. And I thought the workings of todays ICE was complicated.
  7. What does black dot and location on power curve mean?

    OK it is similar to after a full charge and you start out going down hill and the computers shut off the regen. Do you know how that is done? Or how low regen is obtained.
  8. What does black dot and location on power curve mean?

    Do you mean that the vehicle applies the breaks to reduce the KW generation to the level the battery can handle?
  9. What does black dot and location on power curve mean?

    So is there some kind of electric resistance heating element to convert KWs to heat? My Bolt generated 50 KW max depending on the down grade. I’m sure my S generates more. How much can the Rivian battery take? I wish Rivian had a real time digital readout. It was cool to see what was actually...
  10. Regenerative Braking Too Strong: Dealbreaker for Me?

    I love it, I’ve been using rege since 2017. At first I would time it and totally release the gas pedal to stop where I wanted. But after about 50 miles of driving I just feathered the gas pedal. It got natural very quick. I guess I should call it a KW pedal. My wife’s EV6, at max regen, is too...
  11. What does black dot and location on power curve mean?

    If the battery can’t take all the KWs generated, where do the KWs go? The power grid keeps balance by varying generation based on demand. My solar system does so by dumping to the grid. How do EVs do it?
  12. Connect+ trial over but gear guard live still works

    I got that too, but my trial doesn’t end till 11/17/24. Rivian will get back to me.
  13. Rivian's Dangerous Gamble: Ignoring Customer Safety for Profit?

    You have a strange definition of safety. Rivian is the number 1 safe vehicle per IIHS.
  14. A Deep Dive Into Gen 1 vs Gen 2 Differences

    Did you notice how quick the programmed seat and wheel return was from the east entry position?
  15. Just got a Gen 2 2025 R1S dual motor performance max. Some impressions:

    Good idea however when I switched from all purpose to snow the remaining range didn’t change. While changing to sport the range changed about 30miles. So I assume snow mode doesn’t hurt range.
  16. Just got a Gen 2 2025 R1S dual motor performance max. Some impressions:

    Even in All Purpose, it is very fast. Doesn't feel that different from my large Quad T trade in. The cameras are awesome, the sport wheels look great and the programed seat and steering wheel are a lot quicker and their movements seem to overlap each other. I am getting used to the push button...
  17. EV Batteries Can Outlast A Vehicle’s Lifetime With Minimal Degradation, Study Finds

    What studies do you have regarding battery failure rates. I believe the warranties for batteries exceed those for ICE. But not sure since the last time I bought an ICE was like 2008.
  18. EV Batteries Can Outlast A Vehicle’s Lifetime With Minimal Degradation, Study Finds

    A few months ago I saw a Reuters report where on average, car batteries still had 90% capacity after 100,000 miles.
  19. Friends & Family discount extended to Gen 2 R1

    I ordered custom in June and I was told December so I ordered out of the shop and I pick it up tomorrow. I had to change to white and drop the dark stuff.
  20. R3 Rivian review by Sandy Munro: Good Things Come in Small Packages

    If the charging is 100% Tesla isn’t the charge port on the wrong side?
