  1. WA announces $85M to help build thousands of EV chargers

    Great, the mood and the money is there.....now go find the electricians.
  2. Switched from Launch Edition Quad to Dual Motor Max Pack Performance -- my impressions / review

    I am 76 yrs old and wear some pretty good Costco Phillips hearing aids needed after a lifetime of farming and firearms use. My July 2002 build has been relatively problem free now at 40,000. Tidal is very noticeably the best audio I have experienced. The difference to me is like the...
  3. Elon’s $55Billion Tesla pay package voided [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS / INSULTS].

    Sounds legit....anything illegally done.....that party will lose the case.
  4. Got the second best vehicle I've ever driven as a loaner :)

    I'm up in Appleton WI at a Rivian certified collision center covering about half a block. I took a rock in my windscreen. They repair anything from semi tractors to Teslas. There are five Rivians here now that I can see. There are a half dozen Amazon Prime vans here too for body work. Yes...
  5. Cameras Periodically Stop Working

    Both my front and back quit abruptly overnight in the garage. Service over the phone says it is just a part to replace and they have plenty of them. It needs to be fixed at a service center though because of getting g to the part and recalibration. Minneapolis service center was great on one...
  6. Seat memory position

    I finally have this problem figured out. The restore to remember function I think is accomplished best by using firm pressure on the brake pedal, and hold until your seat comes up to the remembered position. If you get off the pedal too early, or use light pressure you are not going to get it...
  7. Home Charging Best Practice - Disconnecting Cable

    I think you only need to stop charging before disconnecting if you are on a level 3 direct current charger.
  8. Rivian doesn't cost less to drive on long trips

    On a five hundred mile trip out and back totaling 1000, my R1T in the winter is half the cost to drive, but at the cost of 1 hr 20, each way, to charge and about the same amount of time getting signed in to the chargers in addition to that. I now take my ICE Nissan Frontier on those hunting...
  9. Ice storm pictures ?

    There were all kinds of black ice on Iowa roads this week. My R1T behaved flawlessly whether all wheels were on it or just one side. Instantanious torque vectoring, if that was the factor, really worked. 7300 pounds of vehicle going in a straight line, and the gyroscopic stability of four 90...
  10. Snow Mode / Regenerative Brake Assist observation

    I think what they might be trying to do is replicate regenrative braking to a lesser degree allowing some time for you to get your foot to the brake pedal so you can be back in control. We have gotten over two feet of snow in the last four days, so I will have plenty of chances to see if that is...
  11. Steering wheel vibrate/shake at 65 mph +

    Try a different tire shop with newer equipment. My first tire replacement at 31k gave an even better ride than the OEM . It was Discount Tire in Dubuque IA. I took my Nissan Frontier in to the same shop and got new wheels and Scorpion ATs plus, but I then got that terrible shimmy that you...
  12. Driver position not always accurate

    Try pushing down firmly on the peddle rather than "tapping". I have this issue also, but a firm peddle push helps.
  13. New Electric Tonneau Replacement installed -- no difference from original

    The slats fit much closer on my new one and the bed is nearly water proof except in the car wash. You are correct in the noise is not less, which makes sense if the slats are more closely fited to each other whether extended or stacked. It is worth the money just for the security in my opinion.
  14. Costs of minor repairs

    I wouldn't get one if you live in the north end of the Midwestern states at this time. Range anxiety is real but diminishes over time. I have saved 400 dollars per month not buying gas. My Rivian home charger wired direct to a 60 amp breaker works well at 25 miles per hour. Service has been...
  15. Costs of minor repairs

    I was in Normal a week ago for the new toneau cover (excellent btw) and they said to trade your Rivian with them. Most of the the employees are clamoring for them in any condition. I have 37,000 on my truck with a couple of very small dents. They certainly dont interfere with my enjoyment of...
  16. Aftermarket wheels efficiency

    Your truck is very nice looking. Where did you get the idea to run semi tractor pressures on the Rivian? That would explain your high milage efficiency. Going that close to maximum would work with any fire I suppose....for a while at least. On several Nisan Frontiers ran over 550,000 miles...
