Wife found this on Facebook. Pretty much exactly where the coming soon icon is on Rivian's map, so I guess our Pittsburgh location is official! Saw some comments in the post from owners with recent service at the Cleveland SC and they told them this would be opening in May. Just in time to...

I'm about to hit 60k and feel the same. My experiences at the Columbus, OH service center have been the best I have experienced with any vehicle service in any kind of shop in my entire life. I hope they are the same when the Pittsburgh center opens - hopefully in time for my wife's R2. I had...

Well I finally figured out how the cybertruck was designed. (The link does work if you click on it)

I get it. People want to buy data specs over practical functions/features. I personally care more about form/function in every day use than something that only makes even a tiny difference a couple of times a year. I wanted a truck to do truck things. But I also got it at the original...

I'll just assume you are living in an apt/condo with no access to home charging or take 10-20 long road trips/vacations every month. I recently used a local DCFC near my home and it was the first time I used a public charger at home in about 2 years. I also tow a zero turn ~200 miles between...

Thanks for this. I've been leaning towards the LTs for some time but talk myself in circles. Most of my miles are highway and rural roads with few stops/starts, and all summer that includes light towing of my EGO zero turn on a small ramp trailer. The towing started just before my second set...

Same. I can't think of a single feature less important to me than autonomous driving. I just want an R2 as fast as I can get it to replace the last piece of junk we own that uses gas.

Thought I would give an update after 2 full seasons of towing this back and forth. I think I just passed around 6k total miles of towing. The long term towing average now sits at 1.94 mi/kWh. Late last summer, I replaced my original 20" Pirelli OEM AT tires after around 34k miles. They...

True. But I would think the software in the truck could set a lower limit to where it won't send power. Then the controller may look for it, but it just wouldn't be available and would then just turn to the grid. The more likely issue I thought of is that a direct connection from the car to...

I would wager it is safe to assume you have a 48A 11.5 kW charger. One of the nice things about the current smart unidirectional chargers that will also be true of the bidirectional chargers in a system like Enphase is that they can be set to only deliver the excess solar to the vehicle. Two...

Sounds like a very similar setup. I also had my charging outlet installed with wiring that would be capable of handling 80A even though I'm only using the 32A EVSE that came with the truck. But I wanted to future proof it. I doubt I'll ever splurge on an 80A split charger for both vehicles at...

If anyone is already familiar with Enphase based solar systems or is willing to look at a document I'll attach, I was hoping someone might be able to tell me if I'm thinking about this right. I currently have an Enphase based 8kW solar array. The permit application for the expansion was...

Have you kept track of wear / tread depth or any ballpark to compare? My first set of Pirellis lasted ~34k miles, although that last 2 or 3 was probably pushing it. I have about 15k on my second set of Pirellis that I bought lightly used with ~700 miles on them. I started towing my zero...

No such thing as 10 miles of flat road in PA. But I do about a 190 mile drive each way anywhere from 1 to 3 times a month between home and camp on my 20 in OEM Pirellis. About 20 miles of it has a speed limit of 65 mph, and the rest is 55 mph or under. I typically drive ~5-7 mph over speed...

For me it's not really a choice. I made the critical error of wasting money on a Google Pixel 7A. It becomes invisible to the truck every day. The only way to make it visible as a key again is to put it in and out of airplane mode for several seconds. The only positive is that the Columbus...

Guess I'll never know. I created an Apple Music account just to try it out after the update. Every time I scan the QR code generated by the truck, during the login it tells me I need to change my password using an Apple device. I don't own one and probably never will. If I manually enter...

Try using something other than Tesla that has over a decade of building a fanboy base head start. I think the Hyundai Ioniq 5 is a pretty solid competitor from a well known vehicle OEM. They only sold just under 34k of them in the U.S. in all of 2023, and just over 18k so far this year...

What was your SOC when it derated to around 100kW? I'm assuming still well under 60-70%, because otherwise that would just be normal, not derated.
