Hey Internet Friends and Strangers - I’m taking a “for the hell of it” road trip this coming weekend. Leaving San Francisco on Friday morning, heading up to Coos Bay, over to Crater Lake (if we can get there), then blasting back over to 101 and home. Assuming we’ll cover about 1300 miles over...

Took the Rivian loaded up with the four of us and the Long Dog down to Hollister from the Coastside yesterday - just shy of 100 miles one-way there. Left at 85%, arrived at around 52%. So 33%, around 40kWh, used on the way down. About normal for Conserve in/around the bay area at higher...

What do we consider “normal” behavior for the cabin hvac? Scenario: 35 degrees F outside. Set cabin temp to 70 (from the truck, or the app), wait a few minutes. It’s warm - yay! Get in and drive, and once the truck hits the set temp, it switches from warm to cold blowing out the vents -...

I kicked off the update about an hour ago, and it was hung up (in the app) at ”In progress … 0%” for the first 30 minutes. Went out to the truck, and the stack display had kicked back to the initiation screen, so I re-initiated the update. 30 minutes later, ”In progress … 0%”. Went back to...

On highway 1 today heading North. From my RB OC … I was on the phone but trying my best to wave and smiling the entire time.

Another successful session. Arrived with about 35%, went into REI to use the bathroom and see if the jacket my kid wants is on sale (it wasn’t’). Walked over to Costco to shop. Remembered that I have a blown shoulder and I can’t actually carry anything, and walked back to the truck empty...

Interested to see if anyone else has set their truck to navigate to a DCFC and had it precondition, just prior to taking a longer road trip. Here’s my experience … Had to day-trip to Sacramento from the coast today. About 45 degrees most of the drive out, in Conserve, and managed about 2.2...

Warning: this is a stupid idea, but I find it amusing. Please skip if you don’t like bizarre thought experiments. Anyone have experience towing a car trailer with a 3500lb vehicle on it? Specifically, R1T with 21” roads, keeping speeds sane (60mph-ish) and assuming flat with minimal...

Noticed this today. Shows charging history and rate. Image below is from my home L2. Inferring from this that we can see actual charging curve in the app, which would be very neat, esp on various DCFC.

So I can say with certainty that the Fox Overland does not fit the Rivian. The curve is too much for the medium (which seems like it was designed for a ‘96 Tacoma). And of course the large is way too long. Has anyone tried the Dakine Pickup Pad DLX Curve (small) for their truck, and are you...

I live in a hilly area and thus far have never seen the ”regen limited” warning. Until post-s/w update, this morning, when it happened twice. Anyone else seeing this post-update? ETA: Temp was 45 degrees and I was descending a road I’ve done 20 times in the truck so far without this...

The update started with the battery at 64%, and upon completion, battery was at 68%. So not only did I get snow mode, but more charge as well which were delivered by the electron fairy. I am going to finally go out to the truck to explore the new update and see where the fairies put the...

I just realized that the app has a picture of a blue R1T with standard off-road 20” wheels. I have that truck, but with 21” roads. Does anyone else have a slight discrepancy between actual truck and truck.jpg in the app?

Does anyone else have a problem where their truck occasionally reconnects to the camp speaker if the truck is unlocked? It’s driving me crazy. Is there a fix? Example: I was listening through the camp speaker in the garage last night while doing some work on mountain bikes. Put the speaker...

… of course there’s a catch. Just got back from Tahoe (Incline Village). Route was up to Truckee, down 80, cut across (via REI near downtown to grab some electrons for free) to I-5 and over 580/205 back to 92 to Half Moon Bay. A big chunk of that is obviously downhill, but at 75+ the entire...

Came up to Incline to see family for the turkey holiday. Left Half Moon Bay around 9a today. Stopped at the new RAN in Sacramento at the REI, and again at the new RAN in Truckee. HMB -> Sac: Conserve mode 114.1 miles 41.9kWh 2 hours - 57mph average (note: drive computer said 1 hour, 60...

Subject says it all. If you’re like me and couldn’t wait to spend $80 plus tax on four small plastic circles, now is your chance.

Figured people here would get a kick out of this. Honestly, it isn't much worse than it was in my Tundra, and it's only going 3 miles to the harbor at the yacht club where we always put in. But man - it looks silly.

I had an opportunity to take the truck for a shakedown drive from Half Moon Bay to Santa Cruz today. About 110 miles in total including a couple of stops. As a side note, got approx 2.8mi/kwh overall - the drive home had a stronger headwind and I was deep into the throttle for fear of being...

Took delivery this morning at the South SF SC. I’m still kind of in shock that it’s real, but my god it’s pretty. A couple of delivery notes: South SF is extremely efficient. I could have been in and out in 5 minutes, but I wanted a quick walk through for some of the basics that I forgot...
