  1. 70% SOC/charge for "daily" vs. 80%

    I split the difference and charge to 75%. When I picked my R1S up at delivery, they said I could go to 80% and feel ok about it.
  2. ? COMPASS YELLOW R1S Photos

    Three years to almost the day, my R1S is home. I have actually had it about a week, but have been busy, you know… looking for panel gaps? Truth is, it’s pretty clean. The lift gate is a little off, and there is something on the sunroof, but other than that, it’s an awesome vehicle. Delivery...
  3. It’s Here!!! And It’s Mine After 3 Years (Compass Yellow R1S)

    Three years to almost the day, my R1S is home. I have actually had it about a week, but have been busy, you know… looking for panel gaps? Truth is, it’s pretty clean. The lift gate is a little off, and there is something on the sunroof, but other than that, it’s an awesome vehicle. Delivery...
  4. Rivian E-Bike is Coming. RJ Tells Staff Electric Bike in Development

    I wonder if they will be E-Mountain bikes or will be more like the e-bikes all the kids in my town are riding. If they are the latter, they will be cool for commuting around town for groceries and errands.
  5. ? Rivian Adopts Tesla NACS Standard! (Adapters in 2024, Standard Charging Port in 2025)

    In your scenario they are priced the same, so one isn’t worth more. Even if someone buys the NACS Rivian first, the CCS will be sold to the next guy.
  6. Vehicle Software Updates, and Which Are We On?

    I just got my Rivian last week. Pics to come! I have never had a vehicle that updates, so I have some questions. I am currently on 2023.18.0 according to my app. Is this the most recent? if I missed an update, will the truck update what I missed the next time around? Or do so need to do...
  7. PPF in South OC?

    I booked with Essence to do the front PPF. I might do the doors as well, but it’s pretty pricey. Holding off on tint for a bit. Never tinted a car before, not sure I want it. I don’t want the car to be dark on the inside.
  8. PPF in South OC?

    Anyone have a good PPF place in South Orange County? I know Tint Plus in Laguna Hills did several Employee trucks, but would like options.
  9. Should Be Excited, But Feeling Nervous

    Thanks everyone. I’m feeling a bit better. I have been driving an electric Mini for the last 18 months and love it. I hope I have as much fun driving the Rivian. I am sure it will be different fun. I guess the thought of having to carry an adapter is kind of a bummer, but then again, it’s not...
  10. New R1S delivery went great + 1st month on the road

    We were in Yosemite last week. I might have talked with you. I met a few Rivian owners. The Valley was crazy crowded and crazy wet. I can’t believe the waterfalls in June. Truly awesome. This was Bridal Veil.
  11. Should Be Excited, But Feeling Nervous

    Well, tomorrow is the big day. After a three year wait, two Guides, and a handful of configuration changes, my Compass Yellow LE R1S will be in my garage tomorrow night (I hope it fits. I better get to cleaning) I should be super excited and I am, but I am also feeling a bit nervous. I woke up...
  12. good shop in socal? Suntek reaction ppf?

    I was just at Tint Plus in Laguna Hills. They use Suntec and are the company that a lot of the Rivian employees use since it’s down the street from the Irvine office. I don’t know much about suntec vs Xpel.
  13. POLL: Would you like Rivian to adopt NACS Tesla charging standard?

    Yup. That’s what they have in the Valley. The part of the comment I was replying to was that there were no Rivians in Yosemite. I saw more Rivians than Teslas, or bears.
  14. POLL: Would you like Rivian to adopt NACS Tesla charging standard?

    I was in Yosemite last week. Saw at least 10 during my two days in the Valley.
  15. Top 5 Reasons Switching to a Tesla Dominated NACS Standard is a Colossal Mistake for the Consumer

    Give me an adapter that allows me to charge wherever I want including SC’s and call it a day. Then, when I am on the road and I see an EA, a RAN, and a SC station within a few miles of each other, I can decide which to go to based on ease of use, price, and how crowded it is or isn’t...
  16. POLL: Would you like Rivian to adopt NACS Tesla charging standard?

    I voted “undecided”. We currently don’t have enough information to make such a decision. Will Tesla/Elon open SC? Will the adapter work well, how much will it cost? Will there be a retrofit in the works? What will it cost to charge at a SC? Will Tesla/Elon have the entire charging market...
  17. If you’re taking delivery… hope yours goes as well as ours did!

    I am picking my R1S from Costa Mesa on Wednesday. It’s been there for over a week now, but we were out of town and then they were booked. David also set up our appointment.
  18. Rivian’s R1T Same Day Sales Event

    My R1S is sitting at CM waiting for delivery. I can’t get the a delivery date until next week. Bummed.
