Just thought I'd give an update, if anyone (even non-Rivian owners) find this post.
Left the Walmart EA Fresno with 100%, arrived up the hill at Lodgepole Campground at 62%/179mi.
The truck lost ~2% per day, though we were opening/closing the truck/bed/doors at least 50 times/day, waking it up...
Ok so after a bit more researching, I'm going to go up farther to the Fresno Walmart EA/EVgo and go east on the 180. Leaving at 100%, arriving at the gate with 59%. Should be acceptable!
I'll let you guys/gals know how it goes.
Thanks!
So this is going to be my first time taking it decently away from a charger, and I must admit I have some range anxiety. The campground states no electrical hookups. So up there I’m on my own. I do have a 1kW battery with small solar panels, not enough to adequately charge my truck.
The main...
PLEASE
Fix the proximity entry, I don’t understand why Rivian still can’t get it right.
It usually works 15-20% of the time, rest I’m pulling out my phone to manually unlock the truck, but oh - it’s “waking” so the app can’t unlock it (shows the … ) grr!
Its not like they couldn't convert the RAN network to NACS in the future.
I'd imagine its easier to convert stations from CCS -> NACS.
Downside of all this NACS talk is that that "standard" does not bidirectional charge. Which makes me curious how Ford will convert their vehicles, but was...
I would have done the same thing he did, he was actually courteous, so if a car with no ground clearance, and the port (normally) in the back/side could reach the one charger available.
Stupid truck driver...
It depends on how the installer programmed it, I have visited several destination...
Everytime Elon lowers the price it also reduces the resale value.
Be prepared for a heavy hit in resale, you can check auto trader to see what dealers are actually trying to sell it at, and if you want to sell to a dealer, reduce that price another 3-5k for their safety net in case of future...
I am glad I saw your post, I replaced the Gen3 wall charger in my garage with my Rivian wall charger when I got my truck. No issues with the Rivian charger.
I moved the Tesla wall charger to my parents driveway, when I go over there to mooch their solar.
I had my Tesla Gen 3 replaced once...
They SHOULD be profit centers. The notion of "Free" charging should be gone, that will get rid of people hogging for convenience. Only charging when you need to really charge. Want free charging? Get solar on your roof. People with ride share gigs, or live in condos/apts NEED to use public...
Until this post, I forgot Buick still existed. I thought GM axed them with Oldsmobile...
This reinforces why I hate stealerships, they have to fight the change to delay their deaths. This is my 2nd car, first a Tesla, not wasting my time with a salesman, haggling, going to F&I. Why is this...
Mine works, made a terrible noise a few times closing. Told the SC and they cleaned it out, and it’s been fine ever since. Going to get that dry lubricant and apply tomorrow. I go out of my way to NOT use it, unless absolutely necessary.
Shouldn't you enjoy it as much as possible, so if these early air suspensions have issues, they'd get replaced under warranty, with revised versions?
Am I wrong?
I constantly hike the suspension to "high" whenever possible. I like the look of the truck in high, and since I'm a taller guy, its...
You're honestly missing out on an amazing truck over something that, in my opinion is over-reported.
I drive my truck as my DD. It costs me LESS than 1/4 of what a Silverado Trail Boss, or Ram Rebel would cost me, what my "gas" options were. So little bit of electricity drain is NOTHING...
Wow I was getting really irritated. I was in a very low reception area, and I tried to access my truck via the app over cell service, the app crashed, wouldn't let me back in. Then I haven't been able to re-pair my phone. I actually had the carabiner key on me for once, otherwise I'd have...
It looks much better in person... you're going to LOVE your R1S, the color combo...
I have never gotten so much attention, parked or on the road, I went to get some food and people were taking pics and looking at it.
Well guess I'm going to eat crow here...
I placed my preorder for my current config back in Dec '21. My original delivery time has always been Nov-Dec of this year. I got the 8 steps yesterday, I'm 7/8 steps completed.
I've been in contact with my guide, 6-8 weeks estimated to delivery at my...
