This is an interesting thread. I have my R1T, we just reserved an R2S to replace my husbands 2015 Nissan Rogue. He is NOTORIOUS for driving it until the "Low Fuel" warning comes up; frequently until way after the "Mileage to Empty" stops registering. On a few occasions, the engine would be...
I do not believe much of Rivian is foreign made - the tariff impacts should be negligible. I look at manufactures like GM where their small/mid-range SUV's are made in China and/or heavily reliant on components from China. They are going to get hit hard.
But just spitballing here... if we...
PaaK is really starting to piss me off. In the first months I had the R1T, it would lose the connectivity to the truck occasionally. Now it's happening once a week; both to my Android phone and to my husbands iPhone. I always have my card key in my wallet, and I am getting good at "Delete...
Well, we paid off our lease on the R1T this month. Last night, the husband walked into my office with an old printout of an R1S (from last August) and asked me if I can see what the updated price would be! The gears are turning!
We love our R1T, it's just a solid vehicle. He has is 2015...
Our phones and our Rivian connect to the home Wi-Fi. The garage, being away from the router, has a low signal (even with the repeater in the structure). I chalk it up to, every now and then, the signal gets strong enough for it to register, and the truck goes "A key!" and unlocks. It's...
I try and get at least 8 years out of a vehicle. I don't drive like an idiot, ensure routine maintenance is done, address issues with normal wear and tear, etc. Our Nissan Rogue is hitting 11 years 160k miles since we took delivery, and it still looks relatively new and is mechanically sound...
Tried out the auto-lowering mirrors when put into reverse. I don't like that - I can't see the cars parked on either side of the truck when they are aimed down, lines sure! But no idea of how close I am to the next vehicle over. And I can't see the garage door jams when backing out. I turned...
That's interesting. Do both chargers share the same circuit? I have one 50-amp circuit in our garage. The charger pulls 32 amps. We are contemplating a second EV and I have been thinking about how and when things will use that circuit. I know I won't be able to have two 32-amp devices on...
Trying to pump as much solar back into the grid when I can because the house is all electric, and it's still somewhat winter here in RI. Much above 8amps and I am sucking power off the grid for now. When the truck can stay parked for 2-3 days at a stretch, 8amps is just fine for topping off...
Being a retired "IT" guy, I suspect it's an issue with the app. Delete it and reinstall it. Otherwise, your "Pep Boys*" (auto service) alternative is to dismantle the vehicle dashboard. :D (I hope you realize that is sarcasm)
On using the app for setting charging - no issues here. I keep the...
I am still a newbie to Rivian; my R1T almost has 2,000 miles on it. I have been watching various threads about the 12v batteries going dead and was wondering how they could put such vehicles on the road with this obvious a problem. Glad there is some monitoring going on.
I had CAT6 run for my antique security camera system. I just found that the WiFi cameras don't offer the clarity that I can get off the old ones. Also, one less power vampire running...
