I am envious!! The best we have gotten is $0.27kW! But it's still cheaper than most (non-subscription) DCFC's and coming out to $0.89 MPG/e, I'll take it!
We have a sub-panel in our garage, and when I ordered my R1T, I had a 100amp circuit and the NEMA 14-50 wall outlet installed. Since it was a known electrician, he cut me a deal on the installation; it ran be under $200 for parts and labor (all of 30 minutes to install). When we got our Model...
Sorry, I was out hugging my solar panels this morning as my R1T did it's normal morning scheduled top-off. What were you saying about oil?
13.2kWh solar architecture on our home.
We made the heavy investment 5 years ago, and for nine months out of the year, our home is 100% carbon neutral...
BEEN THERE, DONE THAT. Bumped the tailgate button while the garage door was going down. The first word out of my mouth rhymed with "Duck!". I have the paint stick from the Rivian store and was able to touch up the paint, but the plastic top of the tailgate still looks like crap.
This is my second winter with my R1T, and at almost at 11k miles. The truck has not offered up much more than nits; things that a soft or hard reboot could not correct. I officially have several scratches in the paint (it's a TRUCK, it gets used as a TRUCK), but I bought the paint stick kit...
I traded in a 2019 Nissan Frontier SV 4x2 with very low mileage on my R1T I did GREAT on the trade compared to Carvana, CarMax and KBB - over $17k where other services were in the $14k range. .
The trade in process was okay and the quote carried through to the point of signing over the title...
We watch "The Current" YouTube channel, and in the recent entry, it was outlined that Rivian is very close to releasing the V2H / bi-directional charging capability, a new home charger and active managed charging options through programs with regional power companies.
This is quite exciting...
Since this feature was introduced in the last upgrade, I am finding it to be somewhat annoying.
Issue: I set the auto cabin ventilation to INTERNAL / RECYCLE, but every time I restart my R1T, it shifts Cabin Ventilation to AUTO, and soon the cabin is filled with whatever toxic fumes I happen...
I went into my purchase of my 2025 Gen 2 R1T with the same wide eyed optimism. My dream was / is to consider my R1T to be my "final" vehicle; that I initially dreamed to get 15-18 years out of it by which time I would expect my mental and physical acuity to demand I surrender my license and /...
I pushed the button on the one-time charge for UHF / Autonomy+. I was able to use my Rivian store credits to offset the $2,500 price substantially.
Bought the upgrade last night; went out to my R1T this morning and saw it was fully upgraded / installed.
It's a matter of age; as in my...
