  1. Camp speaker actually being used while camping šŸ˜Ž

    A quick little 3 night getaway to a NC state park an easy 75 mile drive from home. Listening to contemporary jazz on the (very useful and much derided) camp speaker. Will turn off in a bit to listen to the whip-o-wills. Campsite has a 30 and 50 amp service, charge the truck and run the camper...
  2. "Rivian has identified your R1 may be at risk of experiencing a 12-volt battery failure."

    I’m a June 2022 delivery with the original batteries. I asked a friend who works for a Rivian SC what advice he had, and he said the monitoring in the truck was good now, and it would notify me…fingers crossed!
  3. Blue Ridge Parkway weekend trip with R1T towing new Aliner camper

    Yeah, I think I saw you on Thursday near Food Lion. We were headed out of town to go to Northern VA to visit some of the grandkids. It was quite the trip, ran thru heavy snow from Emporia VA to Petersburg VA, but fortunately didn't stick to the road. I did have fun driving the Rivian in snow...
  4. "Take control of vehicle now!" message for no reason

    I am having a similar problem on my R1T 2022 vin 7xxx. I first noticed this on the previous software release 18.1 I think and it’s still happening on 22.1. I thought this was related to my recent windshield replacement on 7/11 as Safelite could not do the calibration. But it seemed to work, but...
  5. Tail lights keep blinking

    As a workaround until you get it fixed, try putting it in camp mode. I do this when I’m not at home (proximity turned off there) and am walking around the truck (like at friends or family,parked in the driveway, walking around).
  6. Windshield replacement report, Safelite

    I had a rock hit the windshield on my R1T (2022 launch edition) 3 weeks ago, leaving a silver dollar sized pockmark. I have Allstate insurance, and I followed the Allstate protocol which dictated a ā€œrepairā€ rather than a replacement. Safelite came out and sealed it up but said it needed to be...
  7. A thousand miles towing, no worries…

    Just back from a week long camping trip with 2022 gen 1 R1T, followed by a long weekend visit to family. 1,074 miles. Stays at two NC State Parks with combo 50 amp (for truck) and 30 amp (for camper) service. 4 DCFC sessions, plus charging at family houses. We are pulling an an Aliner Expedition...
  8. Front blinkah trouble on gen2

    I had a blinker problem on 2022 gen 1 Launch Edition (this was a couple years ago). Got the rapid blink on the front passenger side. Mobile service tested all the voltages and replaced the whole passenger side headlight assembly, no problems since…
  9. Current Travel Trailers / RVs you're towing - Reviews and Recommendations!

    Replying to myself, coming back home today, on the first leg from 1,800 feet to about 200 feet, I got 1.70 miles per kWh with 180.3 miles and 106 kWh. So, I had about 40 miles (16%) left. Now, I stayed in the right lane on freeways at about 60 or 61 unless I needed to dodge traffic. 58 on 55 mph...
  10. Current Travel Trailers / RVs you're towing - Reviews and Recommendations!

    Aliner Expedition with the fixed queen bed. We’ve had the Aliner about two years (and the R1T Launch Edition almost 3 years) and done about a dozen trips, mostly 3-5 day trips in NC, SC, and VA. Rivian has chargers on the Blue Ridge Parkway which is empowering (especially when they used to be...
  11. DCFC restrictions, warning

    It shocks me how ā€œentitledā€ folks are getting about this. Budget the time for charging, not bitching. It’s a common ecosystem, share and be a nice human. I have an R1T and a Bolt. I’ve charged the Bolt at EA stations on a 350 when that was what was open. We’re on our second Bolt, this one is a...
  12. New Service Centers in the works for NC and SC…

    My R1T was delivered to my house on a flatbed in NC back in June 2022. Maybe this is a change to allow setup of a SC.
  13. Confused about SXM in 47.01 - a radio or streaming?

    I agree, I hope that (using the second streaming account that I already had) works out. I don’t mind paying for this. There has to be a business model. I just wanted to find some clarity on the way the Rivian client/Sirius offering worked, and that’s sure not forthcoming from the Sirius phone...
  14. Confused about SXM in 47.01 - a radio or streaming?

    It seemed to recognize my second streaming account (which is a separate subscription from my other car and streaming account). i’m going to see what happens when the trial is up, but yeah, it’s dishonest or at least disingenuous.
  15. Confused about SXM in 47.01 - a radio or streaming?

    That’s what I thought I figured out by the end of the call. I’ll see if it works with my 2nd streaming account after the trial
  16. Confused about SXM in 47.01 - a radio or streaming?

    I have SXM in another car and have the bundled streaming and a second streaming add on plan. I just spent 30 minutes on the phone with SXM and I’m more confused than ever. I thought the Rivian solution was just streaming like on your phone but built into the infotainment system, but I have a...
  17. Tesla V4 charger, love the long cord and lots of stalls!

    I have an official Rivian/Tesla adapter. I bought one of the 1st gen A2Z but never used it; A2Z is replacing the old with the new Typhoon free, but they are backlogged.
  18. Tesla V4 charger, love the long cord and lots of stalls!

    Several Teslas popped in after I took the photo ?
  19. Tesla V4 charger, love the long cord and lots of stalls!

    Stopped at the newly expanded Tesla charging station today in Halifax NC on I95. 60 charging stalls (wow!), new V4 stalls with the long cables so non-Teslas can charge without taking two spots. Lots of solar panels covering one of the rows of stalls. I’m sure there was a megapack there somewhere.
  20. New Service Centers in the works for NC and SC…

    I’m very happy to see this happening (I live in Emerald Isle NC and have used the Richmond SC a few times). But I wonder how they are getting around the NC dealership protection laws? Frankly I was surprised that Rivian could sell in NC when I bought my R1T in 2022, and really didn’t believe it...
