Exactly. I see the headlights for a mile away and I know it is a fellow Rivian. People have complained that they hate the headlights....I personally think it makes it more distinctive and stands out.
I agree. When we had a 12v battery issue about a year ago, I made a service appointment and the "official appointment" was about 3 weeks out (West Sacramento SC), but they called me within a few hours to tell me that there is a mobile appointment in a few days. I took it and they tech showed up...
They should have technology sort of like the Amazon Lockers. You get to the charging station, you key in a code that is issue to you when you log into the station. After you enter the code in, a vault like door would open and you have access to the cable. They can have security cameras on the...
Don't they microstamp the name "ChargePoint" along with a serial number several places on the copper. The criminals could take the time to sand it off, but that would take a long time and if these recycling centers are required to inspect the copper when it comes in, they could reject it.
I...
We live in Northern California and it only gets to the low 30's on occasion. Our R1T (Gen1) heats up prefect. My wife is part human and part snow woman....she is always cold. She turns the passenger side up to close to the surface of the sun temperature.
My wife came up with it. She loves the LAPIS gemstone which is a deep blue so, it only was appropriate seeing that it is blue.
We have a Silver and Black Rav4 Prime and I got to name that......"The Millenium Falcon"
If Polesters are the same quality of the Volvo XC30 (we had), they should be banned. That vehicle was the worse piece of trash we ever owned. Within 2 weeks it was in the shop to replace the tCAM. Then 2 months to the day, it was again in the shop to replace the same thing.
I drove it to work...
We have had a few mobile appointments for real minor things except the 12v battery. Our guy Kevin from the West Sacramento service center is amazing. Has always showed up on time and not only fixed the issue, but conducted a full vehicle inspection, filled fluids and then explained everything he...
I live in California and the state is starting a EV training program to train EV mechanics. I think that will lead to independent shops popping up to repair all EV's. I think ICE shops will also start offering that service......soon?.....no, but eventually.
I can't imagine Rivian not offering...
We ordered the full size spare from Rivian and they came with the Tire, Pucks and a jack.
To your other comments, I admire your throughness for sure, but this is a tire rotatation and/or replacement, not a daycare for your children. If you go to a Rivian autorized tire shop, they will have been...
I read the post you commented on. If I was a manager of a tire store and a person wanted to interview me and ask dumb questions, I would say "ya know, you won't be able to get to it until a week from today".
Like you said, go with who Rivian recccommends because those shops will have had the...
I talked to a service guy about tires (while talking about our mobile appointment to fix a tailgate sensor). He said that America's Tire and Rivian have partnered up and said that they have better prices on tires than Rivian does. We have a AMerica's tire here in town and I have had my tires...
If you look on the app and pick ENERGY it will bring up your charging screen. Scroll all the way to the bottom and there should be "History" (right below schedule). It will go all the way back to your first charge. I just checked and it goes back to May 2023 when we picked up our R1T.
There is...
I updated the app and unless I am missing something, I really don't notice anything new...well at least I couldn't see. THe only thing I use on a regular basis is changing the charging percentage and scheduling the climate controls to go on.
I do have the Gen 1 R1T, so I don't know if that...
We got our R1T in May of 2023. We got the FOB and we drove it home. We took the FOB out and hung it on the key holder and that is where it has remained since. I use the Phone and I have the keycard with me as well.
I drive the same route to work (for the last 10 years). It is 146 miles one way (I stay locally 2 days a week). When I leave my house it says I will arrive at work with 95 miles. As I drive more, it increases and I usually arrive with about 125 miles left. I drive 70 to 73 mph and in All-purpose...
