  1. Any idea why I can't turn on my 120V AC outlets?

    Thanks for the fuse idea...I can see the fuse box, but can't reach that fuse. I'll search to figure out how to remove a panel for access without breaking a clip or something.
  2. Acceleration surges coming out of a corner

    Thanks, all, for your thoughts. I went for a drive again and tried hard to re-create the conditions where I experienced the surging. I did get some wheelspin, and the stability control light did come on...but there were no rapid power surges (and no fishtailing, though that's likely a separate...
  3. Any idea why I can't turn on my 120V AC outlets?

    I tried it both with a lamp plugged in (but turned off) and with nothing plugged in to either outlet. Same result.
  4. Any idea why I can't turn on my 120V AC outlets?

    I submitted a service ticket 3 weeks ago, but (sigh) Rivian hasn't gotten back to me yet other than to ask if it's still happening and verify that I have reset the car. If I sit in my R1S in the garage and go to the Energy or Camping app and click on the 120V indicator (it says "Outlets off")...
  5. Acceleration surges coming out of a corner

    Speeds were probably in the 20-30mph range. As noted earlier, drive modes were All Purpose or Sport (other settings listed above). I was accelerating fairly rapidly, but not full throttle. And YES, the vehicle was lurching like there was something seriously wrong with the car. I am sure glad I...
  6. Acceleration surges coming out of a corner

    I switched tires from AT to AS, and I'm more light-footed on the accelerator...and so far, this issue has not happened to me again. Perhaps I should try pushing it through corners more? I dunno, the day after I switched tires, I accelerated from a stop while turning, and while I didn't get the...
  7. R1S Payload Stickers

    I have an identical R1S, except it's a Launch edition. Same payload: 1632.
  8. What was your trade-in experience?

    I always ask for a trade-in quote when I buy a new car. But I've never traded one in before, because I can always sell the car for more than the quote. I figure the trade-in quote serves as a pricing floor. When I picked an R1S out of the shop, I asked for a trade-in quote on my 2022 Tesla Y...
  9. Washington Four 20" OEM tires - Pirelli Scorpion AT. Like-new, $1200

    These are sold. I must say, the gentleman that purchased them had excellent taste in vehicles.
  10. Wheels for a Pacific North West winter

    No experience myself, but I recently met an owner from Seattle with 20s that said he went skiing most weekends the last two winters. He was very pleased with how the 20s performed in the snow. He bought another set of the 20" tires for next season, since his were starting to get low after 24k...
  11. R1S Roof Shade - found a good one

    You can also get them at heatshieldstore.com. I've had them for several vehicles. Light, easy to store, easy to install, easy to take down, good fit, well insulated, reasonably priced. Great for camping, or for keeping the car comfortable while you are charging during a summer roadtrip.
  12. Michelin Defender tires installed on 20" wheels

    Sorry, just short around - town errands and acceleration tests, so no good data. 77 miles since I put them on, 1.5 mi/kwh (lots of time in the car at home, where HVAC seems to lower the average but tires are not involved). Range estimate on full is estimated at 303 in conserve, 273 in all purpose.
  13. Considering returning the R1S - questions

    Ride is obviously something that depends on what you're used to. But I notice you have the 20" AT tires. I recently changed out mine for all-seasons (Michelin Defender LTX, same size) and the ride improved. That said, I thought the ride on the ATs was OK (though not great), so maybe that still...
  14. Can anyone make a call using Alexa on their Rivian? Mine does not work even with the new software update version.

    Alexa won't even take my contacts. I go to Settings->Apps->Alexa, and turn on the button for Alexa to take my contacts, and everything looks great...but if I go away and come back, that button is turned off. And Alexa won't call anyone. I have logged in and out of my Amazon account, and I have...
  15. Washington Four 20" OEM tires - Pirelli Scorpion AT. Like-new, $1200

    The Scorpions awaiting their next adventure...which no doubt will be s00n. EDIT: Perhaps I wasn't clear...they were still for sale. But supposedly they will be picked up on Wednesday at 3pm. I'll mark this post as sold when they are gone. Or clarify this if it doesn't happen...
  16. Michelin Defender tires installed on 20" wheels

    I got less than 200 miles on the OEM Pirelli Scorpion ATs. :) I took off the Pirellis and sold them, and put on the Defenders after having the R1S for less than a week. And I've only had the Defenders for two days now...so I'm not going to be able to report efficiency differences, I'm afraid...
