Some folks have mentioned keeping a 50A extension cord in their truck alongside the mobile connector as a backup. This sounds like a great idea, but I’m curious if a 14-50 plug could safely be adapted to lower amperages, even as low as 15A, so long as you set the max in the truck appropriately...
Between Kyle from OutOfSpec and a few others it's become clear that a select few lucky folks were able to fulfill their Adventure reservations with Launch Editions. This wouldn't be an issue had they been required to pay the difference in pricing benefits granted to the Launch Edition, but it...
When the truck is plugged in is the electrical system designed to use the cable power to feed the auxiliary systems, or does it always use the battery and continuously top it off once you hit your desired capacity?
I have two R1s on order: an LE R1T and a post price-hike adventure R1S. Both had OC interior configured. I’ve been adamant I do not want BM or FE, but there’s one caveat to that — getting both vehicles within the next 10-12 months.
The LE R1T was slated for Apr/May, but with the OC delay all...
I need some guidance on my home setup. We have 200A service, over half of which is dedicated to HVAC. The garage has a sub-panel we are looking to tap into to charge two EVs (an R1T and a Model X). An electrician came out and said he could add two circuits, one 60A and one 50A, both wired...
Some of the big-ticket accessories, like the shuttle and camp kitchen, are being removed from builds with the promise of purchasing them at a later date for the same price. This sounds reasonable, but there are a couple of concerns with this approach. For one, you can’t finance the accessories...
I've almost decided I want the 20" non-staple wheels. I love the look of the dark 20"s, but being an LE holder I'm having a hard time justifying spending $3500 for them. Others have discussed powder-coating the brights, and while that may get the color I don't think it would get the finish...
I am torn between the 20" and 22" wheels, leaning more towards the 22"s at this point, but I have a few concerns. For those who own or have experienced the 22" wheels...
Would they be able to handle very basic off-roading? No rock-crawling, just simple grass/dirt/gravel trails.
Will they...
Do we know if the 12v battery (or is it batteries?) is lead acid, AGM, or li-ion?
I tried using the search but didn't find any clear answers, so apologies if this has already been covered.
At the risk of opening a can of worms here, I am in the market for another LE reservation. I have one for the R1T, but I'm exploring getting another for the R1S. Not interested in hearing opinions about how this isn't fair or isn't allowed. There are plenty of other threads for that debate...
How about a little levity after the chaos of the past day? Post some memes that represent Rivian's attitude towards its customers or your sentiments towards them.
Is there a video demonstrating the ingress procedure for the third row on the R1S? Specifically I’m looking for how the second row moves forward (does it fold, slide, tilt, or a combination of those?) and how much room is available within the opening, ideally with an adult demonstrating to get...
