Since you're in California you can't legally put any tint above factory on the front sides or windshield. That being said, many of us do... One of my best fiends is a CHP officer and while it's not the stance of the department or other officers he's said that as long as he can see in the side...

Being that I've used the Ford app, the Rivian app and Tesla's app extensively, I think you just need to give it time. Ford's app is slow, vehicle response time is even slower, PaaK is an absolute nightmare, you can't adjust charging easily, you can't see the lock status, you can't see the...

Do you have drivecam video of the event? I'm all for making the vehicles we drive safer, but I'm also aware that a lot of people who have never experienced driver assist features will overreact to them. I've seen my passengers slam their foot on the floorboard trying to brake because ADAS...

I'm in tech and have been using various driver assist systems from Audi, VW, Tesla, Ford, Rivian, etc for over 10 years and heavily embrace them. I push them all to the limits and they all have faults. I have videos of Bluecruise taking me off the road, but they are just assist systems, and...

Thank you, I'll take that as a compliment. I have zero patience for people who espouse entitlement. ICEing is the act of blocking a parking stall containing a charger, that an EV needs. If you are blocking a charger with another EV for 4 hours, there's no difference. People get towed all...

It most definitely is a thing. Yes, the charger is locked to the car until charging is complete, at which time it unlocks. So therefore, yes you can, and should be, towed from a parking spot intended for vehicles that are actively charging if you are not charging. Not sure about your state...

I think you're missing the point. If you choose to be selfish or lazy then don't plug in to start with. Your vehicle charging is your burden, no one else's. If you need juice to get home, then spend 30 minutes after skiing at a DCFC. I ski all the time at Heavenly in Tahoe, and it's a 30...

Don't charge unless you need it. If you need it then be prepared to go an unplug when you're done. If you can't get back (as another said in an example of snow shoeing) then don't use it. I'm not sure why people think that just because they don't want to be burdened, someone else should be...

His comment is that the OP image was likely artificially generated. All I said was that the image is fishy. Yes, the images he posted look correct, but the image from the OP and others looks wrong. If people are modifying images to include taller trees, extra buildings etc then I'm not gonna...

Google earth time stamp is 2022... Google street view shows the same background as of Jan 2023. So those old looking buildings with mold on them are new? Sounds like you're the one with the tin foil hat. Anyone in LA wanting to take a drive down to Pico Blvd... We can quickly confirm that...

Unless the buildings in the background are props, the trees shrunk and the median markings in the road have been re-done then I'm not sure that's the correct location. Basing this on the arrow markings in the parking lot, the only possible direction would be looking south-west. This also would...

Seems that the rusting issue is all too common and possibly not a "one off" or "solved issue". I have about 100 miles on my sliders and they are already rusting. These are from the latest batch. I know that EVSportline will warranty them, but they won't warranty my 1/2 of day of labor...

I know you're trying to be sarcastic, but there is an oil change in that list. The Drive Unit Fluid Change is an oil change. For the sake of not saying "oil" most EV mfgs just call it a fluid.

In California there's laws against predatory towing so a tow company can't just tow your vehicle without a complaint. But, who says that a Rivian owner who wants the spot wouldn't call and report it. The likelihood of a tow operator getting there in less than ~30-40min is low but still, it's...

Just a couple of weeks ago I did Palm Springs to Sac, which is even longer and only stopped twice to charge. Below is the data. The only reason there's 3 charges is because someone in Santa Nella came and plugged in right next to me so they reduced my rate. I moved to an open unit so I could...

The OP did the trip with more stops than what's needed. You can easily get from Sac to Kettleman City in the winter on a full charge and then from Kettleman to LB on the 80% from Kettleman. In the warmer temps you could go from Sac to Buttonwillow on a full charge. Coming back it requires 2...

As someone who goes from Sac to OC all the time, I can tell you that neither of these locations will "always have a few open". I've seen both full a number of times. Also, I really hope that Rivian doesn't continue with the handicap EV charging stalls (Santa Nella). Legally we can be towed...

I suggest you read what I said in various posts. I quoted that section of the owners manual myself but said that I don't know a single person on earth who thinks overnight = "extended time". The OP left the vehicle overnight and it bricked. I'm also very opposed to judging someone's...

While I agree that there's a message, it doesn't imply anywhere, including the owners manual that leaving it over night will brick the truck. I think most people would assume it's just like a low fuel warning on an ice vehicle. Why is everyone so opposed to manufacturers making their EVs...

Well known to who? The people who frequent the forums? You assume everyone who owns a Rivian participates here? There's likely thousands, if not tens of thousands, of people who buy a Rivian and never come on the forums. How do you suppose they "know"? Ignorance is not a failure to...
