  1. Conversation with my neighbor... Are Rivian's really for rich people?

    Well is there a different way you could have approached that interaction with your neighbor that would have likely provoked a different response?
  2. Level 3 Charging 2025-2026 for Rivian R1S May Require a $300 "Accessory"

    I have noticed RAN locations around my usual routes (CA) are a mix of NACS and CCS plugs these days so having an adapter on hand will mean you can use any of the plugs at those locations in the future. Also congrats on the new Rivian!
  3. Auto high beams with fog lights active

    Thanks for the replies - I didn’t realize the stalk could deactivate auto-high for the drive session which is good enough for me so I will do that moving forward. Happy new year and all!
  4. Auto high beams with fog lights active

    I got on the road early yesterday in heavy fog and put all fogs on for safety. The auto high beams were also active and came on a few times shining right back in my face off the fog. Does anyone else experience this? I like the auto high beams in non-foggy conditions and I don’t think it’s...
  5. Continual suspension/alignment issues

    I have used high regen for two and a half years with no acceleration of tire wear - still on OEM ATs at 27K miles and should get 30K out of them. Seems about right to me. Clearly something is wrong with your truck I would keep at it with service until they fix it.
  6. R1T for R1S Even Swap?

    I had this same thought a year ago when we got a R1T loaner and took it on our Thanksgiving week trip to the Sierras - the kids booting up while sitting on the gear tunnel hatches. Stashing slushy gear in the tunnel or bed. Hauling some stuff to the dump when I was back home. So practical...
  7. Cleaning screen recommendations - windex?

    Like others here I use water and a microfiber and if I need to remove something like grubby hand smears I use a little white vinegar as well.
  8. 12-Month review: I can't recommend the R1S for most people

    I also notice most of the things in this 12-month review - I am about 30 months in myself. To me it seems that a “recommend or not-recommend” should take into account who you’re talking to. If someone is coming from a BMW X5 used for freeway commuting and weekend trips to soccer games I...
  9. Brake Lights on Deceleration

    Brake lights that come on just because someone is not accelerating is a dumb idea. So what are you all proposing here? A different deceleration standard? If you think the standard is set inappropriately write a letter. Not just you - this exactly - and in our E92 BMW M3 lifting off the...
  10. How has your paint held up?

    2 years and 26K miles of mostly road trips to the snow and dirt and the paint still looks great (glacier white R1S). I wash it at home but I live dangerously and use just one bucket and mitt! I will spray on some bug remover a few minutes before washing if the front looks really bad as we all...
  11. Liquid spill inside trunk disables R1S (wire harness damaged)

    Some older adventure vehicles like the OG Land Rover Defenders were made to be more or less water resistant inside to the extent you could hose them out after getting them muddy forging rivers and such. The materials were selected accordingly and the tech in those vehicles was WWII era. The...
  12. 2 place home charger recommendations

    I wouldn’t hesitate to get the grizzl-e based on my two years with one of their single-plug units. Hopefully someone with a duo can chime in here.
  13. Charging in Mammoth Lakes, CA

    great find and thanks for posting this! Often the Tesla SCs are packed full so having the RAN option will be good.
  14. Uh-oh. Long time parked has zero power…

    If it’s in a backyard is there an outlet nearby? Even plugging in at 120 would be better than nothing if you can get the charge port to open.
  15. New tires question

    You will take a range hit with the ATs, assuming you had all-seasons or something similar before on your 21s.
  16. 2023 R1S weather stripping falling off

    the loud bang in my case was the hatch and roof trim interfering with each other. It was only an issue in warm/hot weather I assume because the plastic expands just enough to interfere. Had it fixed at a service visit. I took a video and opened a ticket and service realigned either the hatch...
  17. Looking Stupid Waiting for the Unlock !!!!!

    For two years of ownership my experience has been that there is a delay and often I have to set whatever I’m holding down and tap the screen on my phone which seems to wake up both the phone and the car. Been same for 3 iPhones and I have deleted the old paaks when setting up the new ones...
  18. Hot take: Google Maps is not really much of an upgrade

    dude just go full reacher and take the bus and live out of cheap motels
  19. NACS to CCS adapter

    I picked up my L2 adapter at Home Depot (or maybe it was Lowe’s) and I want to say it was less than $150 and it has served me well. It is a Lectron.
  20. Road Trip Planning - Tesla Compatibility

    Agreed on EA being better these days. I have used EA quite a bit on road trips over the past year with no issues. The Tesla plugs that come up in the ABRP/Rivian trip planner all have been great too.
