I have the driver's side installed and wanted to give some tips that might help:
- used the included T55ip bit and a half inch Bauer impact wrench (on clearance at HF for $35)
- initially the impact wouldn't remove the bolts - charged the battery to full and they came out pretty easy -...
Got it. thanks. How accurate was it with the Tesla? Sounds like Rivian should work on this after they fix the L2 cold weather charging issues on G2 vehicles.
Congrats! Beautiful R1S
Tried to convince ourselves to get LA Silver but the wife fell in love with Storm Blue and honestly I did too. Would have paid for the PPF and window tint.
Going to install our Rmax boards soon on our G2 R1S. I've was surprised to see a T55 Torx bit included. It says 55IP. Is this a "Torx Plus" bit? I've read these bolts can be a bear to remove and definitely should use a Torx Plus and a breaker bar. I'm a little worried about getting them...
OP here. Wanted to update that we had a couple great charging sessions on our trip from Kansas City to Montana. Did 99kWh in 37 minutes at the RAN in Flagler, CO. (2.67 kw per minute); 81. kWh in 29 minutes at SC in Evansville, WY. (2.79 kw per minute). Saw 210 kw peak at the SC and it held...
Not unless that 12v is always hot. If you have to turn it on using the truck power setting then no. You should charge through anything unless it goes directly to the battery.
Has anyone located a +12v terminal on the G2? There is a jump terminal under the frunk cover for an alligator clamp but no terminal. There are a couple of -12v ground studs to choose from. I'd rather have my battery tender connection in the frunk vs using the OBD2 port.
We received our adapter from Rivian today even though we didn't place our order until the 21st. Not sure if they extended the deadline or if the Trimax still gets them or if we just fell through the cracks.
It had less than 100 miles when I noticed it was riding harsh. Can't remember if there were any clunks. It was right after Rivian tech had me perform a hard reset (left steering and hazard button) to resolve a keycard issue. The reset didn't fix it but they reset the keycards somehow on their...
Had this happen with our R1S Tri shortly after taking delivery. What fixed it for ours was the following:
- find an area where you can drive at 20mph or less without any other cars around
- put it in Sport so you can select the lowest suspension setting and drive for about a 1/4 mile
- stop...
We paid just over 98k for our Tri in Storm Blue, the base Ascent black interior and 22" sport dark wheels. This includes the 6k Rivian promotion and the $7,500 lease tax credit. We immediately bought out the lease.
I forgot about the travel kitchen. My wife already has a couple induction plates that were about $40 each and pack nicely. That travel kitchen is a $1,400 behemoth.
Are you sure that is correct? On 1-2-25 we charged at six different SCs. I just checked my history/invoices and all appear to be at membership pricing. This was in our '22 Lightning.
EDIT: Just read the fine print. It's 5 per day at the same SC. Keeps the Uber and Lyft drivers from...
