We did a 3-bay garage with 2 large garage doors. It has been MARVELOUS having the walk-around room around the vehicles. Gave me enough space for a workbench and for seasonal storage of crap without compromising on usable space. We are in Rhode Island, on hindsight, I wish I would have done...

From the NHTSA website: Feb 21,2025 Manufacturer Recall Number FSAM-1612 NHTSA Recall Number 25V-085 Recall Status Recall Incomplete, remedy not yet available Summary Rivian has decided that certain model year 2025 R1 vehicles may have been built with headlamps that may not comply with...

Filed under "What time is it?" "Let me tell you how to build a clock"... One lesson we learned a long time ago is: Never invest in a launch edition of anything. You're essentially a test pilot for a science experiment. YEARS ago, we found a Saturn Vue Hybrid - THE FIRST IN SOUTHERN NEW...

No Android update yet (just checked).

When I first got my Rivian R1-T, I was just OBSESSED with trying to calculate out the MPGe, range, costs, etc. I posted my "mathematics" on this blog; all for naught. I realized... it was pointless to try and figure out. I gave up on all that and now just go by the battery range remaining (I...

I have to agree, though I think the measure is still a bit premature. But then again, this is not an administration keen on EV's. Here in RI, we had implemented tolls on the Interstates that pass through the state. Currently aimed at commercial / semi's hauling freight over our roads. I...

We shall see. Politics are not aside; I despise anything with Musks fingers on it, and the more I see how he's meddling with world politics, the more I despise him. That and Tesla voted to give him a $54B (that's BILLION!) bonus (currently on hold by a judge). He and they obviously do not...

Jus' spitballin' here... perhaps time to trade in the wife...?

If there is not a Petsmart around, Dow Scrubbing Bubbles (the real stuff, not the Walmart knock off!) will work in a pinch. We had a dog that was incontinent, and I just kept a can handy for cleaning up the messes he left all over the back seats. Spray it on, let is sit until the foam starts to...

We are three months into our lease and I am glad we did it. If we would have financed it from the onset, the payments would have been more than double for 5-6 years, and that would be with the equity trade. I am retired, so the lower 3-year lease payment for the 2025 R1T fits the budget just...

I used to swear I would never want a vehicle that would "drive for me". And then I got old and realized in recent years that I was dodging a lot figurative bullets on the road. Blind spots, my own failing peripheral vision (not seeing vehicles coming at me until I was feet from them), unable...

Update got pushed out this morning. Installing now!

It sounds like you got everything covered! We got our NACS adapter via USPS about 3 weeks after taking delivery. I keep it in the driver door pocket and use it periodically when I want to charge up quickly using the Tesla charging station a couple miles from the house. When we took...

My thoughts, exactly!

This is like watching the YouTube channel "Autoline Daily"; one day they report sales are up, the next day they report sales are in the toilet for the same manufacturer. We just ignore it.

I was also on the fence about ordering a FOB, but our phones (my Android and husbands Apple) have worked flawlessly. I like walking up to the truck and having it "wake up" when I get within 10 feet of it. I DO keep the card key in my wallet, just in case (his iPhone notoriously goes dead at...

Hey! Thank you, Rivian, for the update to allow Google Cast! I plugged in at the local Tesla station, and with 50 minutes on the clock, I was able to stream an episode of "Star Trek" Strange New Worlds" on the center console, WITH surround sound! It was awesome, and it made the time go be...

Okay, so question - fair to say as a Rivian owner, we should just stick to the approved Rivian charging locations that come up on the center screen?

That depends on your budget, and where and how the wall charger will be used. There are a boatload of L1/L2 chargers out there; I looked at the specs for the Rivian portable charger and looked for something comparable in amperage (32A). I've attached the spec sheet; I gave that to my...

I actually tried Chromecast for the first time this past weekend. I was able to stream Paramount+ from my Android to the center screen without much problem. Once I picked what I wanted to stream, It only took a moment or two for the systems to sync. Nice to hear the broadcast through the...
