  1. Checked out the Volvo EX90 - initial impressions

    How often do you use fast chargers? On the few times a year I take my R1T on a long road trip the extra 10 minutes or so doesn’t seem like a big deal to me. I charge at home so slightly slower charge times is a non-event.
  2. Rivian Update 2023.30.00 - One-Touch Garage Door Opener, Nav Enhancements, Text Address Sharing From Phone To Vehicle, EVgo Autocharge+ Support & More

    Wow, that’s pretty harsh. I agree with most of the others that have commented about the frequency and, for the most part, the quality of the updates we have received so far. Give the software team some credit for the work they have done over the last year or so. Just be a bit patient, chill a...
  3. RAN Rivian Charging Stations Locations Map via Google Maps

    I don’t see the Austin RAN site on the Rivian map. Is it up and running? What about the stations in San Antonio and Centerville?
  4. Conestoga Collision or Peotter's Auto Body?

    Sorry no experience with those shops but if you are going to be picking up the tab you are going to be shocked at the cost of the repair. If somebody else is picking up the tab it may not matter to you. I had a relatively minor dent in my R1T and a Certified shop in Houston quoting me a price...
  5. Body shop repairs -- use Rivian repair center 300 miles away or local body shop?

    They were not able to pull it out completely so they needed to use just a bit of bondo. Not sure why there is such an aversion to a small application of bondo. While somebody else is picking up the tab, a bid of $8K for that damage is outrageous in my opinion. No wonder the insurance is so...
  6. Body shop repairs -- use Rivian repair center 300 miles away or local body shop?

    I went to a Rivian Certified repair shop in Houston recently for an estimate on what I considered a minor dent in the left side of the R1T including replacing the left tail light. I received an estimate of $5,500. I thought that was outrageous so I took it to a local shop that has been doing...
  7. What do you want addressed in the next OTA update?

    Google Maps allows you to share your location but without CarPlay you’ll have to use your cellphone. I don’t mean to start a CarPlay debate all over again..
  8. Roofnest Condor Overland 2 vs Air Cruiser

    The weight is one of the things that bothers me. At 190 lbs the Roofnest is nearly twice as heavy as the Air Cruiser.
  9. Roofnest Condor Overland 2 vs Air Cruiser

    Thanks for the info. The gen 2 actually has a slightly smaller footprint. 60”L x 48”W for the gen 2 vs 60”L x 50”W for the gen 1.
  10. Roofnest Condor Overland 2 vs Air Cruiser

    I would love to hear opinions on which Roof Top Tent to purchase for my R1T. I am intrigued by the Air Cruiser that was listed on Kickstarter recently but I am concerned about the newness of it which of course didn’t stop me from purchasing the R1T. I am also looking at the new Roofnest Condor...
  11. Dual-Motor Rivian R1T first test drive review: "It’s the Same Picture" (Motortrend)

    Apparently you didn’t read the article closely. No need for the quad motors for speed or quickness but if you do a lot of off-roading the quad motor is what you want.
  12. RJ responds to my email: Camp Kitchen Update

    I know you think you need it I’m just saying it would make no sense to spend any significant amount of money for a retrofit. I also understand want and need are two different things.
  13. What do we think a new tailgate costs?

    I would check on EBay to see if you can get one there even if you have to get it painted. I had a small dent in the back of my R1T and a crack in the taillight. I bought the taillight on EBay for $270 that looked brand new. I got the repair done for $650 plus the cost of the taillight. You...
  14. RJ responds to my email: Camp Kitchen Update

    Why are so many people asking about a retrofit. It’s totally unnecessary. For the times you are on the road and need a supercharger using an adapter is no big deal and you will still have the ability to use EvGo, Electrify America etc…. using your existing connection. If you are using a...
  15. Certified Body Repair Prices Are Outrageous

    Did I get that right? It took over 5 months to get your R1S repaired?
  16. Certified Body Repair Prices Are Outrageous

    Just removing the full side panel is a very lengthy process and then you have to put it back. I was also told the doors would have to be removed. Maybe I need to change to Geico. Best of luck.
