My Tesla MY has allowed Dog mode enable for last several years from iPhones. It's a no brainer feature, yet Rivian I guess sees no value in allowing me to turn on pet mode from my phone. Does this mean, they don't care about our pets? Seems Rivian software is about 5 years behind Tesla. But...
Not realistic. You would need about 10,000 watts of solar. I have 7,500 watts of solar and on a good summer day I can generate about 55 kWh. My R1T with Max pack takes a lot more than 55 kWh to charge to 70%.
That cheap folding stepstool is what I had. I leaned with one foot on the step and bam, it went out from under me. Luckily, no harm. Just made me realize, it wasn't a long term solution for 36 months. So I ordered the EVBASE running boards with the R1T Trademark.
I just installed EVBASE Running boards. I have neck fusion and need hip replacement in the future. My wife is 5' 2. I actual used a 10" plastic step, but after it slid out front under me, I ordered the running boards. The running boards make the first step 12" vs 22" to the floor board...
Note, that I said leased not buy the R1T. The build and battery technology should be better by the time my 36 month lease is up. Then I may buy a Rivian. I buy the Tesla model Y because the build quality is much better in 2023 & 2024 vs 2020 & 2021.
I leased a 2023 R1T 2 months ago, so far no issues. I bought a 2020 Tesla Model Y 1st generation and had many issues. I've now had a 2023 & 2024 model Y with no issues. I do believe in not buy any EV or Gas 1st generation vehicle.
My neighbor has a Toyota and Toyota is having to replace...
I've only had my R1T for 5 weeks and on its for trip from Longmont to Lamar, CO, Rivian want me to stop at the RAN in Boulder vs EAs east of town on I-70. I even tried telling it to ignore Rivian chargers and it still wanted me to go to the RAN 10 miles west when I need to go east. Rivian...
Thanks. I found proximity locking and it was set to Lock and Unlock at home. I've turned that off. I'm surprised there is not an unlock only. Would also be nice to have the unlock keep the door handles in vs out so they don't jab you in the ribs.
My 4 week old R1T is constantly locking and unlocking in my garage. My Model Y does not do that. How can I tell my Rivian to stay unlocked when at home / garage. It's driving me nuts that I can't find the setting. Been trying to compare my Tesla and Rivian settings and it's like Apples and...
Did you use any of the Tesla chargers with the adapter? I've had a model Y for 3 years and a R1T for 3 weeks and find the SuperCharger Network is so much easier.
A few years ago, I bought two Tesla Wall Chargers because I bought a Model Y and ordered a Cybertruck. However, the Cybertruck was taking too long and SuperChargers were now open to most CCS EV's. So I cancelled my Cybertruck and bought a Rivian R1T a couple weeks ago. I also bought a A2Z AC...
