In other news, they are looking to pass an EV Vehicle tax since EV's don't use gas and don't contribute to the taxes on gas that go to infrastructure. Honestly, I could see that, if it is reasonable.

For shits and giggles, I looked up the RAN station in Kittery, ME. It's $0.41 per kW. I don't know what the deal is here in RI? The difference between the RAN station and Tesla station less than a 1000 feet from each other is $0.12kW. Not like it's crossing some geographic boundary or...

I saw a comment somewhere that if we have a subscription to "Connect+" (I do) that there... is a discount when using a RAN station...? Is that a thing?

Question: Did that come up before of after you started charging? The RAN station in-state here is at $0.60kW, no exceptions. It's actually $.04 more expensive than the Mercedes Benz dealer (on Chargepoint) a mile from my house.

There is a substantial disconnect between the stated battery range and the actual miles driven. I use the Trip-A odometer; I put 138 miles on the truck since the last charge at a cost of $34.18. When I divide that cost by the mileage, I get $0.25 per mile. I don't know what other mathematics...

We went EV thinking we would be saving SO much money over gasoline. Just ain't happening, and I have that... sour note... stuck in my mind. I tried, I tried, I tried. Had to run errands yesterday that took me within 8 miles of the East Greenwich RI RAN station (rated at 1 - ⭐, BTW); figured...

Holy crap! I used the East Greenwich RI RAN center back in early December (well before my education on charging centers...). It was my first charge since getting my R1T. Back yonder, it was $0.48 kW. I will be over on that side of the state this week, and was thinking about stopping there to...

Here in RI, now that the weather is warm again, I am seeing more Rivians on the road. I went all winter without one sighting! I guess most folks keep them in storage for the winter or something? RARELY does anyone in another Rivian acknowledge when I [wave, flash the lights, etc.]. Kinda giving...

What a good review! I have been keeping a journal of my experience with my 2nd Gen R1T-Large. I am hitting 6 months with it and am dubiously optimistic that I made the right decision. My first EV; went from the ICE to EV migration panic to getting over non-existent range anxiety to the...

My FINAL FORD was a 2000 Ranger, standard cab. By 2004, the frame had developed serious rot, assorted mechanical gremlins, and the fuel kill switch began to malfunction... daily. Also, for a 4 cyl motor, never got better than 13mpg. It was a POS. Swore never again. In 2012, picked up a...

Good to know! For what it's worth; I have been following this site since September when I ordered my R1T. I have seen very few catastrophic failures like this reported. But with all other car brands, sometimes a few vehicles come off the assembly line that are just not stitched together...

Every now and then, my wipers will do a "courtesy wipe" (is that like a courtesy flush?) when there is no rain. One swipe.

There has been a lot of talk about Hundai / Kia coming out with a mini EV pickup in 2026/27. I suspect that Bezos it trying to get a leg up into that target market. It does not look like anything I would be interested in. Looks... SMALL. Claustrophobic. I wonder if the fact that it's on a...

Thank you, this is nice and all, but won't know until we lay eyes on it. He's thinking he wants BIGGER; I think he's looking the size of an R1S. We had an Eddie Bauer Ford Expedition many years ago that was like driving Air Force One. Though it was mechanically a disaster, when it drove, you...

Wow! My husband and I are having some serious (for him, this is BIG! He never opens that kimono!) talks about upgrading his 2015 Nissan Rogue. We put in a reservation for an R2S, but he fears that it's not going to be any bigger than the Rogue, and he wants to go BIGGER. We are heading to the...

Good morning! I got the same error since the update. Tried the three-click and hold. (I do not have a key fob) using the tailgate button. Can hear the servo clicking but to nada. I rebooted the truck (press and hold the outer most steering wheel buttons for 15 seconds) and then repeated...

I had planned to take the money out of my savings when the lease came to term in 3 years. With the way the markets are tanking, I pulled the money out after 5 months and paid off the lease. I issue now is with the title and registration. Both are still in the leasing companies name, as...

I "let go" of the last of my "range anxiety" while running errands today. My R1T hit 15% remaining battery as I rounded out the last of my morning obligations, and I got the message that I should charge, soon. So I did! I hit the local Tesla charging station - 14% (on arrival) to 80% in 42...

Wow! Apparently, the update fixed the issue I had with my PaaK! It's working again, and I didn't have to delete / re-add it! ...yet.
