  1. Request: Lighted charging socket

    I’ve also had problems seeing in the dark to plug in, but I recently realized that there is an LED in the top of the port shining on the receptacle (gen 2 R1T). The problem is that it only stays on for 30 seconds after opening the charge port, so if I open the port from the center display and...
  2. Tesla FSD fails to see road debris, Model Y gets airtime

    I have a model Y with FSD. Several times recently I have had to rapidly take control when it saw old tire skid marks in the lane ahead and took violent evasive action. With other traffic around, the car’s maneuvers to avoid an imaginary obstacle were very dangerous. It is more stressful to use...
  3. Rivian / Airstream Towing Experience

    Yes, I have the range wheels, dual motor, max pack. Your 25' Globetrotter would only be a few hundred pounds lighter than my 27', with very similar aerodynamics, so performance should be similar. With all those miles, how's your experience been finding trailer-friendly chargers?
  4. Rivian / Airstream Towing Experience

    My photo is at the RAN in Burley, Idaho. It's the first one I've used. I thought it was very nicely arranged for trailers. It was fairly busy. While I was there, four or five other Rivians charged at the regular stalls. Fortunately no other trailers came.
  5. Rivian / Airstream Towing Experience

    I recently completed a 2,000 mile trip in my Gen 2 Rivian R1T towing an Airstream Globetrotter 27FB (GVWR of 7,600 lbs). I use a BW Continuum weight distribution hitch. The trip was from northern Utah to northern Idaho to the Bellingham Washington area, and then looping back to Utah. Daytime...
  6. Our nearly new R1S is suddenly a brick

    I had the "critical battery issue" message a few months ago on my six month old R1T. The screens soon went blank; there were strange noises; lights flashed; doors would not open; etc. After a few hours it was completely inert. Fortunately, it died at home. Rivian had it towed 75 miles to the...
  7. R2 Reservation List Tracker + Stats 📊

    I reserved the R2, planning to replace my Tesla Model Y
  8. Introductions & Welcome Thread đź‘‹

    We've had our R1T for eight months now, and love it. We tow a 7600 pound, 27' Airstream with it. It replaced a GMC Canyon diesel. The R1T is a great tow vehicle, although it does take more planning to be sure of charging stops. Our other car is a Tesla Model Y, which we've had for about 4...
