Not following but if you don't mind enlightening me I will gladly do so!!

Not trying to encourage bad behavior but I couldn't help myself. Here is a pic.

You got the color green, a.k.a. Green Gator. That is its alligator sound.

Late to the party, but does the Rivian get any hotter than a regular vehicle due to sunshine? The consensus of this thread seemed to be that most of the heat was due to the windshield not the roof.

Although Rivian doesn't support it yet, there is a way to disconnect all the batteries. However, if you have a reliable power source, probably best to leave it plugged in if at all possible. I have not heard of anyone besides myself intentionally disconnecting the batteries... and I have not...

Just from a physics perspective, it takes a certain amount of force to accelerate a mass from zero to a certain velocity. If you are moving the same mass, whether the wheels are large or small, and you are limited by the amount of force, wouldn't the acceleration remain the same? You are...

This is just another example. How many times do tractor trailers crash and it doesn't make the national news? Probably multiple daily. And how much more fatal is it when the load is 60,000 lbs. I'm not saying "dumb" cruise control is dangerous, I'm saying that people tend to be very biased by...

I could see why they would be overly cautious to add a "dumb" cruise control. I can see the headlines already: "7000 LB EV Rivian Truck cruise control causes fatal crash in [state].. " Any crash, whether human or vehicle error, is going to get WAAAAY more press than 1000 toyota camry's with...

I didn't know I needed rock sliders until I saw the videos. Grrrr goodbye more $$$

@myboodai could you please contact me? I tried to send a message but it might not have worked. I am in a similar situation... or may soon be... different country though. :)

I've been researching extensively and never seen anyone with this little vampire drain. Are you talking about a Rivian here?? Lowest I have read about is ~1% per 24h

For those who see gibberish... basically your Rivian is a "smart device" which can be controlled remotely (for example, the Rivian app on your phone). Your Rivian sends data about your truck (location, charge status, locked/unlocked status, etc) to the cloud (Internet), and the Home Assistant...

@myboodai, would really like to get in touch with you! I am shipping my R1T to Germany and am a bit nervous!!

Just trying to do some math. If the truck loses 1% overnight, let's call that 1.25 kWh, divided by 12 hours.. That's about 100W continuous power draw. It does sound really high to me, like having a 100W light bulb on continuously. What in the world is using so much juice??

I would like to know as well... would be nice to be able to keep it at around 50% if I need to go on a long trip. With my tesla I can set it at 1% increments from 50-100% but I just noticed with Rivian that you can only do 70, 85 or 100. Edit: I don't have a Rivian...yet

I know it isn't Washington but here is one: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/for-sale-r1t-el-cap-black-22-bright-whl-adventure-pwr-tonneau-full-size-spare-cross-bars-and-all-weather-mats-3100-miles-maryland-85k.11576/#post-262019

And I was worried about being a Rivian early adopter. Wow.

According to this reddit thread, It has been done... I hope I can do the same with my Rivian!

Since there wasn't a thread for this... Has anyone tried to DC charge from anything other than CCS1? I'm particularly interested in CCS2 because that's what is prevalent here in Europe. Thanks!

Wave back, he probably has a reservation for a Rivian and is excited. That was my case.. I got the Tesla because it was available immediately but will sell when the Rivian arrives.
