I figure I'd use 60kWh getting there, so under 6 hours at 11.5kW. Or like 2am.

And just stay up all night to do that? No thanks. Rivian needs a destination charging option.

An Airbnb has a Rivian Waypoint Network location across the street. If I book, I'd like to use it for overnight charging, but Rivian says that they charge idle fees on both networks. But the app only shows idle fees for Rivian Adventure Network. Does anyone know if this info from Rivian is...

For me, environmental reasons (when I lived in Canada, I heard a lot about the damage from the Sudbury nickel smelter), as well as double the cycle life.

Riviantrackr.com speculates that they might drop it due to tariffs, but electrek.co claims that Rivian had been stockpiling them to protect against tariffs. LFP was a key criterion for mine, as it was for my previous EV.

A nearby highway that used to have it, no longer does. It certainly would be nice to have more insight into what highways are being added and removed. Is the promised hands free on more highways later this year, using Rivian's own sensors and software, or still the Mobileye, anyone happen to...

I see the long lines of cars for after school pickup. It always strikes me as a risk, compared to the bus-or-walk school transport of my youth, decades ago. Why does everyone pick up their kids now?

Another Springs area Rivian.

For those still to install, you may want to set aside a few minutes to restart the software, in case, like for me, you lose access to WiFi. (Stopped connecting to the Wi-Fi that it used to download the update; scanning found nothing despite several networks in range.) Restarting the software...

After this update, my Gen 2 R1S couldn't connect to my home's WiFi anymore, nor did scanning for WiFi find any networks (there are several within range). Restarting the software (both outer steering wheel buttons for 15 seconds) fixed it. If updating, you might want to leave an extra two...

Fair enough

Glad to read that mobile service is so good. As an aside, I'm always happy for the gentle "meep meep" when backing up at the cafe, not to blast people out of their seats. It's something I've wanted in other vehicles, especially EVs.

Didn't know about this thread, or I'd have taken a photo of my blue R1S next to a blue R1T at the trailhead today...

I live in the mountains of Colorado. My Model 3 got good mileage, and not so bad even in cold. My R1S gets half the miles per kWh, and only 50% more battery. There haven't been really cold days (like single digit farenheit) since I bought my R1S. The brick in the wind thing is probably the...

I've used a Tesla home charger with an adapter since taking delivery of my R1S 2.5 months ago, no such problems yet.

In 2.5 months since taking delivery, no reboots (other than presumably the system rebooting itself after each monthly software update).

As usual, took my bike to a park, for a ride. Pleasant day out.

Actual data, though, indicates that EV sales continue to increase, in America and worldwide. An increase in new vehicle price (due, say, to loss of a tax credit), tends to increase used car prices of the same model, to the point that at one point, used Toyotas were selling above the price they...

Wow, the amenities have really improved since my friends and I did the Alaska highway, from what I remember.

I'd carry a spare tire, if feasible. My friends and I needed one when we did Colorado to Anchorage and back (via Dawson City and some other diversions), in an ICE, 30 years ago.
