Brent, I don't know if @Myrna Pearce sold the tires or not, or if she is still signed up to get emails about this forum, but the last time she visited this website was 2025-10-15.
By my tagging her as @Myrna Pearce, rather than just typing her name into the body of the message, she might get an...
As I recall, Seattle's streetside chargers retract their cables/plug when they are not in Paid status, and extend quite a bit (enough to charge at the street side of the car) when a charging session starts.
I didn't have any trouble charging a Rivian at any of them, as long as the charger and...
Home Depot's co-founder/CEO is a heavy backer of anti-EV political groups.
I now take my big-box home improvement business to Lowe's if I can.
I try not to forget my community's locally owned hardware and building supply stores either.
Best wishes!
That's not a J-1772 adapter. The headline is misleading.
This is to convert NACS (J-3400) to CCS-1 for DCFC.
Likely the upper round part has only three pins, because this DC-only adapter doesn't need all five of the J-1772 pins.
That's still a valuable and worthwhile item, but buyers should...
Before Rivians, I purchased vehicles the way the government does -- with closed bids.
I invited multiple dealers to submit bids, as low as each could go and still be happy they're doing business with me. I promised I wouldn't tell any of them what any of the others had bid. I said I'd take...
We're holding on to our 2023 Chevy Bolt, with adaptive cruise, until we decide to convert our R2 reservation.
It won't do everything the Rivians do, but it's capable enough and makes a great backup. And it's bright red -- glad for a vivid color, hope Rivian has some in the future.
Best...
I don't know the staff at Tualatin, @coasties. We've always used Portland, which is overseen by the same managers and occasionally swaps staff members with Tualatin.
This seems like a very new policy. Our February 2026 experience, when they replaced whining front motors on our Dual Max R1S...
Great point!!!
Having two Rivians, with maybe 32K total Rivian miles/year, has doubled our contact time with the Service Center, compared to only having one Rivian.
Long before Rivian, I was on a first-name basis with almost everyone at our independent repair shop in Olympia, so I don't...
Do you know who wrote that, @coasties, and whether it was written when the Service Center was open or not?
My speculation is that it was written after hours by someone in Plymouth, who may not know how Portland/Tualatin SC actually does business.

The "Cover Your A**" philosophy" may think...
I draw a distinction between the Rivian agents who don't know me (including the AI bots and the Plymouth team) and the Rivian agents who do know me (including the customer-facing staff at our service center).
When someone's message in the app doesn't fit the in-person relationship, I ask who is...
This forum's job (our job too) isn't to increase or decrease sales, I believe. I believe our job is to take care of each other by honestly sharing our experiences. I hope that will help accelerate our country's transition to efficient energy technology, and I hope Rivian thrives, but neither...
Portland SC has always inquired what I needed, then offered more than I needed. A few hours for a medical appointment on the other side of town? Uber/Lyft credits for that. Overnight? Enterprise. REALLY need a loaner (and have a functional reason, such as hauling for the Food Bank, to...
Portland SC recently needed to keep our R1S for several days. They started off with an all-paid Enterprise SUV, then located a loaner to get us home and pick up our spare car.
For us, the "if it's determined not to be warranty, you may be liable for rental costs," seemed to be a formality. I...
I think @Cal is saying the EU generally discourages itself and member governments from becoming dependent on U.S. companies.
[Apparently recent developments, and the willingness of many Americans to tolerate those developments, have led Europeans to see the USA as an unreliable ally and an...
We have a Washington State "Good to Go FlexPass" transponder mounted horizontally to the driver's side of the camera housing, with the top margin 1-2 cm below the inside top of the windshield and the right margin about 1.5 cm from the camera housing. This seems to work flawlessly, registering...
