Took a trip from L.A. to Northern CA this weekend. On the way up, stopped at the Kettleman City charger, which all appear to be newer 350kw chargers. Great charging experience. Charged to 80% in about 25 minutes. After having regular issues using the older 350kw chargers with the Rivian, happy...

Weird sitting "down" into the Rivian rather than climbing up into it. Taken me a while, buy finally getting around to getting my tire pressure monitor sensors (TPMS) to work again. Had them working, but then had the wheels dismounted and new tires put on and they sat in the garage for a few...

They just don't tell you that it does! Learned something new today, watching a review. While other companies advertise how to use their launch mode, it appears that despite Rivian not bringing attention to it, it does have a similar launch mode to a Tesla Model 3/Y or other cars. It doesn't...

Happy to have the Running Boards installed by TSportline in Van Nuys. Guys were great. They did one install in the morning, which was the first they had done, but looked liked seasoned pro's installing mine. One hour and five minutes from start to finish. I was originally thinking I wanted to...

Naturally, many people don't come on a forum daily to report that their vehicle had no issues today. That would get a bit boring. As such, it "appears" that Rivian's are suffering from the new car blues because most only post when something happens. Personally, I try to post anytime something...

For those that have seen my prior posts, been an adventure finding a set of custom wheels. Am now on my 5th set. Didn't get a photo of set #3 as they didn't fit. Needed 1 mm less offset to clear the front calipers on those. The other four sets I've had on the truck so far are shown below. So...

Had these details posted in another thread that started off about getting key fobs programmed. As these issues have and likely will happen to others, am creating a separate more concise thread just for these two items. While coincidental that they came at the same time the truck was being...

This topic just came up the other day. While we can't directly connect our houses to the Rivian as you can with the Ford, we can at least run extension cords to the vital items you need powered. With all the rain here in SoCal, LADWP is having issues. Power has been out on at least, my block...

Another not fun adventure using Electrify America chargers. Went from L.A. to Vegas. Charged on the way. Used my head and just went straight to the 150 kw charger, knowing that Rivian's always seem to have issues when using the 350 kw chargers. Worked fine and was on my way. On the way back...

Maybe this has been said before, if so, I apologize for the post. But, I always struggled to find mirror and steering wheel menus in the screen. Today, picked up a loaner and just discovered for the first time, by adjusting the seat, it automatically brings a pop-up onto the screen that also...

I had lost my key fob a few months ago and immediately called Rivian to order a new one as I'm not one that uses my phone as a key. They said they had to put in a "Service ticket". Not a simple case of just ordering a product as it should be. Tesla and most places, you can just go purchase key...

My truck came with 20" All-Terrains. I had purchased the spare which was not delivered with the vehicle. By that time, I had already switched out my wheels / tires for custom wheels / tires and also got a set of 21's for long distance travel. Thus everything I have now is 33" diameter rather...

Watching the stock prices over the past few weeks, when Tesla goes down, Rivian goes down. When Tesla goes up, Rivian goes up. Despite the overall market doing the complete opposite. And often at very similar percentages of decline. Makes no sense other than to think many uneducated investors...

Just sharing for anyone interested. I previously had my 21" wheels powder coated in gloss black by a different company for $600 and they came out great. Took about 4-5 days. Had another set of wheels I wanted to get done and called this company. https://alloywheelrepairla.com/ A little more...

I somehow lost my keyfob. I know it's on my property somewhere. I'll likely find it someday. Maybe if I ever move. But after a week, have given up looking for it. I called Rivian to get a replacement. Called service. For whatever reason, they're making this a difficult process as well. Not sure...

I know there are many other colors, but between these two, genuinely curious which do people prefer? These are for the more conservative people that aren't willing to go with the more bold color choices Rivian offers.

NOTES on first use of a Rivian charger, an issue with an 350 kw Electrify America charger "again" and a general comparison of the same general trip on 20" all-terrains versus 21" stock wheels / tires. Completed a trip to Vegas this week. Typically, I aim for the Electrify America chargers...

The recall, for an item that will cost them next to nothing as they simply need to get trucks in the door to literally put a torque wrench on a bolt and check its tightness (or send mobile service techs to owners) ended up costing Rivian & a lot of stock holders a chunk of money today...

Maybe it's just me, but came across these on E-bay. In my opinion, Mud flaps definitely do not work on the Rivian...

Finally got around to putting together the details of my last road trip. Conserve mode the entire way. 21" wheels with 5mm spacers and no aero covers. This truck still blows me away at how well it performs on road trips. Give me the choice between a Tesla and the Rivian, absolutely would take...
