Whenever I've had a (frequent) PaaK failure, I've used the app to unlock the truck. I still have to wait a bit, but for some reason that command will go through when PaaK just lets it sleep.

The P100D was the first Model S that had over 300 miles of range, and it didn't come out until the very end of 2016... technically over 10 years ago. But even ignoring that, you'd have to have that very car for the last few months of 2016 (with 19", not 21" wheels) to get over 300 miles of...

On longer winter trips with a preheated cabin and a recently charged/warm battery, I use about 10-12% more energy to go the same distance. I have an NMC pack though. On short trips it's more like 100% more...

Same. I typically keep vehicles for several years as I do most of my own repairs. But I started cycling through EVs at a relatively rapid pace for me (3-4 years) due to the manufacturers' (Tesla, Rivian) walled gardens. I had a Lightning for a few weeks but didn't care for it. One of the...

I'd say it's not so much whether they are hard to work on, but prohibitive since Rivian often won't sell you parts and/or you can't even look up the part, or there is a requirement to use the Toolbox software which is expensive to license. Their walled garden is even worse than Tesla. Brakes...

Lithium batteries like the ones in the truck will degrade more rapidly if kept at their max charge (voltage) for extended periods of time (>1 day). It's not a problem for you to charge to 100% and drive the truck shortly thereafter, you just don't want to charge it and let it sit.

Could try some iron remover.

This is what I did. I also printed a "sleeve" that's the right size for my Zojirushi thermos and/or standard diameter cans. I printed a different holder designed by @RWerksman for large Nalgene bottles. It will work for mugs as well depending on their diameter: @slillie what diameter is...

I realize this flips up, but this is a hallmark 4Runner feature that has been around since the beginning, and it's better than the flip up so your glass isn't out in the breeze. The lack of a rear window that opens on the R1T (powered or not) is one of the most glaring feature omissions of...

Other than tank turn, what features were promised but not delivered? What upgrades/fixes have been made to gen2 software that arbitrarily were not made to gen1 vehicles? Unless something falls into one of those buckets, I'm not seeing the rationale here.

Not saying those issues aren't annoying, especially as I've had them myself as well, but they don't have anything to do with the powertrain which you mentioned in your first post. Sounds like you have one EV-specific issue (motor) and 8 new technology issues.

Certainly true. But this was in an argument against using SSBs to give all EVs monster range so they can do everything and never stop to charge at public stations. Manufacturers are more likely to use SSBs to make EVs lighter, smaller, and less expensive as that will help them sell a lot more...

This is a Rivian forum? Huh. For some reason this thread forked into talking about solid state batteries and their applications for extended range on EVs, and I countered that most EVs don't need that. Most EVs are not Rivians.

Yep, I had the transmission replaced in my '25 Miata with less than 2k miles. That took 5 weeks. The ECU was replaced in my gf's Crosstrek at 500 miles after over a week at the dealer. As @electruck said, context is important for the reason for each service visit. I'd wager that most issues...

These guys can all get bent.

Cold affects the battery, but also HVAC usage. Cold air is denser and requires more energy to push through it. I used almost 11% on my way to work this morning when it was 13 degrees out. The same trip in early October at 59 degrees takes 4%. This is pretty consistent with last winter. Long...

Me too. I also get it on 395 and 495 a lot.

My lease is up the end of June next year and that'll be it for me. Too bad Rivian isn't making an R2T as I'll be going back to a smaller truck. It makes business sense to do the R2S first, but the fact that the R2T isn't even on their outlook is disappointing. It'll be the Slate or a Maverick...

Other than a reboot, I notice that it's not always correct, but it's right more than it's wrong. It sometimes screws up parallel highways, like where an HOV section has a higher speed limit than the main lanes.

You're probably right about it not being a cure-all, but it could still help in the non-salty months. I find backing into parking spots (which I do almost 100% of the time) is a lot more challenging in the rain or after a rain.
