Rivian can be difficult when there are any third-party equipment or supplies in the mix. Costco's lawyers seem able to figure this out. Discount Tire/America's Tire lawyers seem able to figure this out. Rivian's lawyers? Not so much. At least for now, I think we just have to take these as...

Our R1's, particularly the Dual Max R1S, do work that smaller vehicles wouldn't. It's human nature to criticize -- but I hope we won't "let the perfect be the enemy of the good" about vehicle size or anything else. Thanks to all!

I have also experienced brake wear far greater than I expected. Until about a month ago, I thought Rivian's deceleration software was like our Bolts -- regardless of whether the deceleration signal is coming from the right pedal or the left, regeneration is used first and maximally, with...

Of all the sponsors, I find @Redtiger to be the most annoying by far. Because each thread topic is constructed to deceive me into thinking the post is non-commercial, this vendor wastes my time. Even if the products were compelling, I would have to overcome the "annoyance factor" in order to...

Fort George Brewery in Astoria has Blink Level 2 chargers. The RAN in Astoria is a short walk to Bridgewater Bistro restaurant, which is superb. Best wishes!

Fascinating! DM sent. Thanks!

Consider asking at least some of your Rivian contacts for college recommendations. You don't have to take their advice -- but if you admire the work they're doing, they'll likely be flattered to tell you how they prepared for that work and what they might do differently if they had to choose...

SME = Subject Matter Expert? Thanks, @Greg Chick, for your contributions to this forum!

While I disagree that @Donald Stanfield is "advocating just being a fanboy," I'm otherwise pleased with the factual tone of @getut's most recent posts. 'm not changing my behavior at this time, and I'm still trusting RJ to lead Rivian in "doing the right thing" as much as possible, but I'm...

I read the full "COPY OF BMOR" file, @AdventureR1S. You are way ahead of me in the concept and research, as you should be. I'd hire you in a heartbeat, if I were Rivian, and if you didn't need to go to college first. I hope @Trinculo73 and others will weigh in. I have these three comments...

If you want the group's help, @AdventureR1S, can you make it time-efficient for us to help you? Link to a Google Drive file, where the component files aren't clearly labeled for relevance, doesn't look doable for me at this time. Happy to respond to specific questions that don't require...

Consider scheduling time on the Washington Coast, perhaps on a future trip. Both ends of Washington's Pacific Ocean, and several places in the middle, are absolute gems. Best wishes!

Everyone's use case is different. My weekly commute for several years was about 200 miles each way, with reliable chargers at both ends but not in the middle. That became doable with the initial Chevy Bolts' 259-mile range. It wasn't doable before. It still took me about two years to get...

The scariest part about the Electrek article is that internal condensation in the Tesla cameras can cause the vehicle to lose vision (and not notify the driver) even when the driver can see perfectly and so the driver has every reason to trust the camera system. When you know the camera can't...

@getut wrote, in part: "You are connecting to equipment not under your control and asking permission from people to control YOUR thing from people that should never be allowed to retain control in the first place. Ownership means control. Everyone would call it batshart insane if they bought a...

Your question is relevant to preconditioning, but answering your question might take this thread way into the technical weeds. I perceive SO many more variables than you have listed, @Billyk24, such as: Which battery chemistry and size? (most important); Beyond the battery temperature, what...

There are many who still believe Musk's promises. There is significant evidence for their beliefs, and there is significant evidence to the contrary. Stein's Law remains valid: "If something cannot go on forever, it will stop."...

During DCFC charging, our Rivians will cool the battery aggressively to keep it from exceeding 110-113 degrees Fahrenheit. Even when charging would otherwise warm the battery quite a bit, battery cooling won't let it. Sometimes our battery warms very quickly with DCFC, sometimes only somewhat...

Or leave the deposit with Rivian for the year or two it will take them to get through all the R2 orders. A lot can change in your family's needs in a year or two. You might become glad you had that reservation. Best wishes!

That motivated me to check your music web site. Wow! Thanks!
