Regardless of changes to federal laws that authorize the CA program, my stickers are good for 2 more years I believe, and I intend for CA to honor that contract. You raise a good point that the good ole days are likely ending soon. Maybe California will continue to pave its own path on EV...

As I have been a heavy Google Maps user before I got my truck, I was fairly optimistic about the new integration. Having used it for a week now though, it doesn't feel like much of an improvement. Better traffic data. What I hope is that this opens to the door to adding other Google Map features...

I was of the same mind for the first 10 years of EV ownership, but that ended when someone stole our charging cable from the front of our house. After that I put in a hard wired Grizzl-E and have been generally happy since.

Submitted the form finally, but I was a day one reservation.

That's excellent news. I just got the update last night, so haven't had a chance to properly study the effect on vampire drain, but I have already observed that the truck is more often sleeping than previously when I check it in the app, so I'm feeling optimistic.

Oh that’s an exciting release note!

Here are the things I have tried so far to no avail: turned off Gear Guard turned off proximity locking disabled Bluetooth access for the Rivian mobile app removed camp speaker deleted the phone as a key put it in Camp Mode (remain off) put the key fob in a faraday bag took the key fob 2000...

I returned after a 9 day trip to find a 36% loss in state of charge! It was parked in my driveway with proximity lock and gear guard off. I even took my key fob with me in case that was the culprit. I also put it in Camp Mode (keep off), but that didn't seem to stop the drain. I now have a...

I forgot to add that it's estimated price is about $47,000. i'll add that to the original post.

I know this is basically the antithesis of the Rivian, but I kinda want one. 1300 lbs 56 hp 31.5 kwh battery 186 mile range low tech / no screens - just switches and dials estimated price is about $47,000 Practical? No. But seems like a fun throwback runabout to have in the stable...

@Glongo That last pic looks like a J1772 plug if I'm not mistaken. Is that in service?

FWIW, I'm pretty happy with the nav in the Los Angeles metro. It probably varies widely in accuracy in different regions. I would probably prefer Google maps, but they have taken me off a freeway just to get back on again several times, so the Rivian nav should lose no points there. The...

That $2/kWh rate seems to be standard at dealerships. The Rivian nav directed me to this station in a Mercedes dealership, but when I got near I looked it up on Chargepoint and was floored by the price. Gas is a lot cheaper. I suspect they're trying to deter the public so they can keep them free...

One peddle driving is a good thing when you get used to it. But if you really hate it, put it in Snow mode and the regen goes to the lowest setting.

Yeah, I'm not betting on widespread Tesla charging access anytime soon.

Dual Max 20 - cause that's what I got. :) But seriously, I'm hoping the 20 AT will mean I don't have to change the tires for snow (or anything). And from what I've read, the ride is nicer on the 20s. Color is subjective. If black was free, I would have chosen that, but I personally don't...

I've experience the vampire drain as well - about 6-10 miles per day. Turned off proximity locking and gear guard, but it didn't help much Turned off bluetooth access for the Rivian app, and that helped a little I now suspect the fob is the culprit, because the truck detects the key even 100...

Kneel helps my kids get in and out more easily. Running boards may help, but maybe awkward for older folks. If your wife likes the X7 best, have you considered the iX? The ride in the Rivian is definitely not as refined as a BMW or a Volvo. If that's the highest priority, I would probably stick...

@bike123.com Ah, I see. Thank you!

@bike123.com I was just wondering if you could elaborate on your setup. I'm having a hard time picturing: "We keep a padlock and a looped inner tube on each crossbar mount for bikes and other gear. We also gave looped cables around bikes and slammed the ends in tailgate and tunnel doors."
