AI generated but broadly accurate: The American Petroleum Institute (API) is running "Lights on Energy" and " When America Builds, America Wins" campaigns, eight-figure, multi-year initiatives designed to promote U.S. oil and natural gas production, push for infrastructure permitting reform, and...

I was not trying to imply certainty and am sorry if my post gave that impression. That said, it is actually is pretty certain that China has, and continues to, install far more wind turbines and solar panels than any other country. A January article in Forbes said in part "As a matter of fact...

There's a reason - actually several - that China is putting up wind turbines and solar farms at a furious pace rather than building new power generation plants based on fossil fuels. It probably isn't because their leadership is infected with woke ideology or even has any particular concerns...

I think you are on to something in speculating that Tesla is quietly exiting the auto business. In 2006, Tesla released its initial "Master Plan" outlining the company's mission and its vision moving forward. That was followed by "Master Plan Part Deux" in 2016 that among other things, stated...

Hope your story has a happy ending, and soon. It's been well below zero F here in the Poconos each morning for the past several days, and we've also had something close to two feet of snow. Don't want to tempt fate, but so far, the R1T has been flawless, and I was very pleasantly surprised at...

Off topic I know, but since you bring it up, the issue with the R1 charge port door freezing is a real PITA for many of us. Someone posted a while back on the importance of keeping a hair dryer in your Rivian for that event. I took that advice, and was glad that I did when the charge port on my...

2024 R1T PDM Large Update: Rivian Service just phoned me to schedule a date for the recall. They are going to do it via mobile service, so it's pretty painless. I asked the scheduler if there was any detail about the recall that he could share, and while he said he had very little information...

Last night, I got a text message from Rivian service telling to schedule an appointment "to inspect the second row seat belt assembly" in my vehicle. The message went on to say that owners should "avoid having occupants seated in the driver and passenger side seats of the second row" until the...

As far as I'm aware, the answer is no. That said, there may well be something in the super secret RIDE diagnostic menu, but I've never accessed it.

Update update: I just failed in my feeble quest to be the last Rivian owner to get 2025.46.0.

I know this is a thread about the latest OTA update, but I want to share that I too had the low coolant warning issue. After a reset didn't make it disappear, I made an appointment with my local SC. The warning became more and more frequent, and I was actually able to move up the appointment...

Appreciate the responses and a bit surprised to see several from Mainers. The surprise is not that snow is potential issue for those Down East, but that there's more than few Rivians there. Like @Weck my R1T also lives outside, and I nearly always have the cover closed, winter or summer. Based...

Nothing here yet. I used to say I was merely "among the last" to get updates. Perhaps I will be able to claim to actually be the last this time around.

For those R1T owners with a powered tonneau cover who live in places where there is regular snowfall and sub-freezing temps, do you keep the bed open or close the PTC? For those who leave it closed, what do you do about clearing the snow off the cover and out of the guide rails? I can never...

The article doesn't provide any specifics and to some extent, it's not really news that a Chinese EV maker, particularly one like Geely that is already somewhat familiar with the US auto market (through its affiliation with Volvo), is in the process of preparing to enter the market. I'm not sure...

First, let me express my gratitude for the information that @Rivian Roamer distributes. The tendency on many on-line forums, including this one, to verbally shoot the messenger when that information is not to one's liking may be understandable, but is never justified. I do not subscribe to...

I'm glad to hear that Rivian is authorizing third parties to do some of the more routine stuff and couldn't agree more with your last sentence. Another thing to note is that Rivian SC's in the Commonwealth will not do the annual PA safety inspection. The reason is apparently that if they...

Second the suggestions of going with any reputable, well-reviewed EVSE. I hardwired an Emporia at my home location when I got my R1T about 18 months ago and it has worked pretty much flawlessly since. I qualify that a bit because it has some funky wifi issues that are annoying, but don't really...

Those of us with the underbody shield can rinse off the suspension components, but what about the rest of the vehicle's underside? Since that's not accessible, can we assume that there is some built-in corrosion protection? Surely Rivian thought about this at some point, no?

FWIW, I did not get the update yet either. Of course, I am not a Connect + user, and have lagged considerably behind the roll-out curve on every previous update, so as they say "nothing to see here, folks." And there is actually a plus side to being among the last that I've come to appreciate...
