  1. Next Firmware release question…

    If recent releases are the model, the tipoff is usually the release of the phone app in preparation for the firmware update to follow shortly.
  2. A/C and Heater Energy Comparison

    Now that the temperatures are getting cooler, I was wondering which system uses more energy: A/C in summer or heater in winter?
  3. ⚠️ Rivian Recall: insufficiently torqued front upper control arm & steering knuckle fastener [official torque value = 90 lb-ft / 122 Nm]

    My experience=called Saturday; on hold for 17 minutes; scheduled mobile service for Monday (today); tech arrived at 8:30, torqued both nuts from 55 to 90 in 5 minutes; tech drove off to next stop.
  4. New software update 2022.35.03

    Myself, I go sit by the mailbox and look for the update. It gets pretty lonely out there sometimes.
  5. Efficiency / range at 80 mph?

    Hey! I resemble that remark! Who you callin' "Boomer"?!
  6. Efficiency / range at 80 mph?

    Here's my rule of thumb: you can drive a little slower, get there a little later, and spend less time at the charging stop. *OR* you can drive faster, get there faster, and spend longer charging - unless your speed will require an extra stop when your mi/KWh drops below 2. it's really a wash...
  7. Electrify America interview addressing concerns

    Personal experience: the Williamsburg, KY, EA charge site is very popular due to spacing on the N/S I-75 corridor. Charger #2 is broken, and I have to wait for an open charger *EVERY TIME I STOP*. I call EA every time and ask them to reboot #2 and they say that they can't because maintenance is...
  8. Planning First Trip - Everything Depends on ONE Charger

    Sounds pretty dicey to me. An EV doesn't make sense on some trips until infrastructure catches up. You may want to drive your ICE machine on this one.
  9. An Early Wish List for Santa

    My early Santa wish list in no particular order: 1) Current time and temp displayed bottom center of driver screen; 2) A sunscreen something for the sun roof because the glass is really, REALLY hot in the full sun; 3) Running boards to assist in entry and exit; 4) The seat edge pleather holds...
  10. The Max Pack Will Most Likely Be Canceled - IMO

    Current EV battery capacity reminds me of a maxed out 286 computer. Soon, technology will produce a denser energy, less expensive, faster charging battery and then we'll look back at 2022 technology like a 386 computer looked back at the Intel 286 technology.
  11. Poll: What will Rivian do with Max Pack???

    If the 135kWh pack is pushing the charging envelope @ 400v ... wouldn't it be prudent to increase to the 800v platform before adding more kWh to the battery? Early reports on the Hummer EV talk about very long charge sessions even on the 800v platform. Seems like if the glass is made larger, the...
  12. Rivian Charger Firmware

    I'm curious: are charger firmware updates pushed automatically or is there a place somewhere with an "update" button?
  13. Weird Frunk Lid Behavior

    At this time, my frunk lid NEVER closes automatically - it closes and then bounces back up. I’ve given up and just grab the lid and close it manually.
  14. First Long trip

    I attempted to strike up a conversation with him but he just ignored me so I went about my business. The 150 was working so I plugged in and we walked across the street to Bojangles and ate lunch. 35 minutes later we walked back and the R1T was charged up and ready to do so off we went. I can...
  15. First Long trip

    Posted is the travel log for taking our granddaughter to college in Lynchburg, VA, from NC. Besides over the road travel at Limit+5 or so, lots of local errands and short trips. Stopped at Wytheville on I-81 both ways not 72 hours apart. On the way up, all EA chargers were working and we gulped...
  16. Weird Frunk Lid Behavior

    Of course, I discovered that I could dispense with the behavior by manually shutting the frunk lid.
  17. Percentage of vehicles with service issue?

    You can set the bar wherever you wish and perhaps that caveat could have been set when the poll was published. All I know is that there were no issues that I could see when I picked the truck up and I’m not noticing any issues after a week of daily driving. Please feel free to disreagard any...
  18. Percentage of vehicles with service issue?

    Perhaps I’m not that picky but (knock on wood) I’ve not experienced any issues thus far in my one week of possession. Oh … well … I DID need to reboot the nav screen once.
  19. Well, I pulled the trigger on a shop R1T - Stoke Factor 8.5/10

    $550/year?! Gosh! My NC Nationwide quote was $2910/6 months!
