  1. Trickle charge parked outdoors in low (20deg.) temp

    But if it is cold enough and you allow the battery to cold soak overnight, when you plug in to a fast charger, it will take quite a while before even the DC fast charger is able to charge the vehicle. Definitely worth leaving it plugged in overnight to avoid cold soaking the battery, even if it...
  2. Out of Spec 10% Challenge of Gen2 R1T dual Max: Massively Negative!

    I don't understand the controversy. I'm amazed at how many here can't seem to take ANY criticism about the R1T. Objectively, it doesn't charge fast because the battery overheats. To many, that doesn't appear to matter. Ok. Fine. What's wrong with Kyle pointing that out? It isn't like he's...
  3. Newbie Sound Question

    My one month old R1S doesn't make a noise like that. Probably worth having Rivian look at
  4. 2023 Rivian R1T w/MAX versus 2020, 2023 & 2024, 2025 Tesla Model Y on same trip.

    I suppose you didn't really look into DC charging the R1T before you bought it if you though you'd get those speeds. Theoretically, your R1T maxes out at 220kW under ideal circumstances but I guess you're not even getting that. I made a similar switch from Model Y (2021) to R1S. I have the...
  5. Feature request: auto heated (and cooled) seats and steering wheel

    My Model Y had this as well. On cold mornings it would turn on my seats and steering wheel for the first part of my drive - two things I often forget I even have and don't turn on.
  6. Proximity feature for liftgate and frunk?

    I find that opening the rear takes a few pushes when the car has been sleeping. Tesla was able to add a proximity auto-open to the trunk and frunk to its cars equipped with UWB, provided your phone also had UWB. I wonder if this could come to Gen 2 down the line as it supports ultrawide band.
  7. Long distance trip in R1S. Big shout out to RAN

    I should have taken a screenshot of the charging session where it shows you the speed against the state of charge. I would stay it still stair-steps as it will go from 175 to 150 abruptly etc. with no numbers in-between.
  8. Long distance trip in R1S. Big shout out to RAN

    I just came back from Palm Springs to Sedona and then back to Riverside via Prescott. It was all pretty easy with the standard pack. I charged at the RAN in Quartzite and got 212kW at the fastest (I believe this is as fast as the standard pack charges). The plan was to get to a Tesla...
  9. Out of Spec 10% Challenge of Gen2 R1T dual Max: Massively Negative!

    It was a 10% challenge which discusses range and charging -- not a review of Gen 2. He reviewed Gen 2 months ago.
  10. Out of Spec 10% Challenge of Gen2 R1T dual Max: Massively Negative!

    Imagine how much less time you'd spend waiting if the cars charged faster.
  11. Rivian 2024.43 OTA update coming this week with new features, fixes, improvements, owl hoot lock sound

    I installed it on my Gen 2 this evening. Haven't had the chance to see if the audio is any different. I changed the lock sound to the night/day one. There's no need to speculate, the audio improvements are right there in the update notes though.
  12. This crash totaled my R1-T watch video!

    The video isn't altered, it's paused for a second and then resumes. Look at the white car freeze. Just deal with your own insurance and get your property damage pay out. Your insurance with fight with his insurance and possibly go to interinsurance arbitration to determine where the money...
  13. Long distance trip in R1S. Big shout out to RAN

    I looked at going through Prescott but, according to ABRP it only saves 8 minutes and there's a lot less chargers along the way if things go wrong. I might come back that way. Standard Pack is definitely a factor but not as much as I had thought. ABRP has me doing the exact same number of...
  14. Rivian gear shop product availability

    I'm with you. I have the center console organizer tab opened in my phone and I refresh it every day. I wish there was simply a "notify me" button like many other vendors have.
  15. How many different RAN Stations have you visited?

    I've been to one but, after tomorrow, it will be three. I've been to San Bernardino. I saw two other Rivians during my time there. One left shortly after I arrived and another arrived after me. Charging speed maxed out at about 175kW (could be due to my state of charge etc.) Tomorrow I'm...
  16. Rivian 2024.43 OTA update coming this week with new features, fixes, improvements, owl hoot lock sound

    Doubtful, especially if it is using the web login and the vehicle's data as opposed to using the antenna to receive the satellite signal. I believe when you subscribe the contract says something about the contract relating to the vehicle but that you can also login and stream from any devices...
  17. They're 7000lb trucks, not 2800lb sports cars.

    I was in all purpose, ride height on auto so it may have been low as this occurred while I was getting on the freeway. It feels floaty in any of the ride settings (I don't have sport). The car automatically saved an "event" so it's not just me being dramatic at how unsettled it got. Those...
  18. Google Casting Update is Coming!

    Practically every video streaming app on android and iphone have the ability to "cast" the video to a device that supports casting. You'd be able to cast HBO, Netflix, Youtube, Hulu, Peacock, Disney+, etc. etc. to your screen to watch video while parked. There's also the ability to mirror...
  19. Long distance trip in R1S. Big shout out to RAN

    I'm making this trip myself Friday albeit from Riverside to Sedona. ABRP has me charging in Quartzite and then a Tesla site in Phoenix. Reverse is Sedona RAN, Phoenix and Quartzite again. I'm doing this in an R1S with the standard pack. It's my first long trip in the Rivian so I don't know...
  20. Rivian 2024.43 OTA update coming this week with new features, fixes, improvements, owl hoot lock sound

    The maps in Tesla are using Google's maps but it isn't Google maps per se. In any event, the navigation in Tesla is worlds better than what's in our Rivians
