  1. My concerns as a potential Rivian Owner

    I was about to order a Bugatti - but the lack of CarPlay made me change my mind. - In all seriousness I would wait or look elsewhere for your purchase.
  2. Up to date recommendations for front wind shield replacement.

    So went to safelight for a replacement. They were upfront about not being able to recalibrate the sensors (windshield, camera). The replacement was with an aftermarket windshield which did not fit. There is a ~ .5 Cm gap at the bottom of the windshield almost along the whole length of the...
  3. Rivian Portable Charger

    Yep that's what I gathered. Purchasing a Tesla Gen two and getting the available 240 heads appears to be the Swiss knife of the charging game. Thanks. That's overall where I was going with the question of this post. Appreciate.
  4. Rivian Portable Charger

    Did a roadtrip to an Air BNB. Would have been helpful to plug into the available 240. Problem is the Male end of the Rivian plug did not match in the Female wall plug. Question is there availability of different 240 plug heads? Appears that Tesla has multiple OEM heads that can be purchased.
  5. Up to date recommendations for front wind shield replacement.

    Good point. Yes setting up the dash cam is on the priority list now.
  6. Up to date recommendations for front wind shield replacement.

    Hi yeah It is ~2 months in my possession and I did not go through setting up the dash cam. Although - If you know or not chasing people for money is a process. I had a head on with car on my scooter. Took ~ 2years to serve the uninsured driver, get a judgement, and garnish wages to get 1,500 $...
  7. Up to date recommendations for front wind shield replacement.

    So had an interstate incident. Trailer truck kindly sprayed me with gravel. Have a severe impact fracture that will require front windshield replacement. Thanks.
  8. Rivian advised me to not use my Tesla wall charger

    Will write my 2 cents. Full disclosure I am not an electrician. I wanted to do my own install and did a fair amount of reading/ viewing YouTube. Spouse vetoed my doing it myself. First electrician wired off an internal sub panel with a 40 A breaker. The buzzing and heating was obvious while in...
  9. Sidewall Tire puncture.

    So I have what to my eye looks like a unrepairable sidewall tire puncture. Noted as I was losing pressure from the tire. Ordered a replacement OEM 21. Made an appointment for a swap out (tire kingdom (never heard of it but they were open and taking appointments) SO I mentioned the make and...
  10. Non-Media Opinion: The R1 Refresh isn’t Gen 2, its Gen 1.2

    Im not sure that you can expect at this stage of the game that Rivian can release a totally different vehicle. If they did they would go out of business for sure. I think the incremental changes were more than enough....
  11. EV use can be more expensive than gas

    This topic appears ripe for one of the many youTube influencers, hopefully one or more of them will undertake a yearlong evaluation with documentation and we will see a spirited discussion from this. I agree if you utilize public pay chargers during peak periods you will spend $$$.
  12. Rivian R1T tailgate pad installed review: it's a winner (with a caveat)

    just received the pad. Looks and fits great. Agree that the straps appear loose, but on my initial trip the bike did not move and appears stable.
  13. A month with my R1T

    For my perspective I prefer the Rivian process over dealership. I like to be able to customize the vehicle ahead of time. The ~45 minutes to sit with the guide was in my perspective a far cry from the usual ~6 hours at a dealer searching for a vehicle, then paper work (5 cars purchased by me...
  14. Rivian knows when you use an aftermarket NACS adapter?

    Totally makes sense.. I did order a lectron adapter in January. Haven't even received it yet... probably will send it back...
  15. Rivian knows when you use an aftermarket NACS adapter?

    I have not tried to use a Tesla supercharger with a Rivian product, But to me there would have be some sort of bluetooth sensor that would have to communicate to the Tesla charger that it is an adapter... otherwise it is just a set of wires in a plastic enclosure. if the latter I doubt a...
  16. I changed my mind on Max Pack

    As a new R1t max owner I will post my thoughts: 1) Yes overall the max has a marginal increase in range. 2) Driving habits like speed (eg exceeding ~70 mph), aggressive driving (such as racing to a stop, gunning throttle on starting use of highway assist, ambient temperature and desired...
  17. From a former Jeep and current Bronco owner

    In my opinion Rivian needs to follow the Tesla playbook at this time. That is to say have high end vehicles come out first, ramp this up, and then work on the Mid price point options. My observation is that they tried to offer a spectrum of options (from trim levels to add on options) and then...
