I turned off the green charging light the first time I ever charged at night. Just way too bright!

The lightning rod charges the flux capacitor, not the battery. There’s no way a Rivian battery pack could handle the 1.21 jiggawatts of electricity from a bolt of lightning!

Mine must be broken. No matter how many times I push it, I don’t get any bacon, only hot air. Is the dispenser jammed, maybe?

I found the same thing, and it surprised me. After I got my R1T, it was months before I got behind the wheel of anything else, and I was a little worried I might have trouble switching back, but I guess 25 years of experience is pretty strong…

It definitely takes a little getting used to, but now that I have I absolutely love the one-pedal driving style that it enables. Especially in traffic, where you no longer have to switch your feet between two pedals to safely operate at low speed. Honestly, I’d say it’s smoother to drive this...

I did notice a little weirdness yesterday, driving around. But nothing that extreme. It would heat initially, then very quickly stop heating and blow cold air, even though it was 40° outside, and I had it set to 70° or so inside. Simply turning the climate control off and on while driving seemed...

Now that I’m reading up on it, I’m also wondering if there’s necessarily any connection between Dolby Atmos and audio quality. The primary function of Atmos is to provide 3D audio for a more immersive experience. I don’t see any reason you couldn’t still downsample the audio for a lower...

Well, very cool! I wonder If it is possibly handing it off to WiFi for higher bandwidth, or if there’s just an atmos profile for Bluetooth now.

Yeah, the lossless audio documentation still says that Bluetooth isn’t capable of playing lossless audio, and it can only be used with Apple headsets that use Apple’s own AAC Bluetooth Codec (which I suspect is still lower quality than lossless otherwise). https://support.apple.com/en-us/118295...

Interesting, must be an update to Bluetooth since I last looked at it. I’m positive Apple’s own documentation used to say roughly the same thing I am. That said, this specifically says that you need to be using Apple manufactured headphones to listen to Atmos over Bluetooth, so it’s possible...

Nothing useful to add, but my dog says hi!

Bluetooth is a relatively low bandwidth connection, and audio streamed over it will always be compressed. The difference between playing your music on a Bluetooth speaker and an AirPlay speaker is dramatic. The same will be true of Bluetooth vs native Rivian app; Bluetooth simply isn’t capable...

How are your filters set? Looks like you’ve got a single charging network selected; if it’s not Rivian, then that would probably be the issue. (Appologies if that seems insultingly obvious, but after decades working in IT, I’ve found it’s always worth asking the obvious questions.)

I’ve been watching my R1T’s data usage, and I can see that it’s downloading the update. You don’t get the notification that there’s an update to install until it’s downloaded a decent amount of data (usually multiple gigabytes, in my experience), possibly the entire thing, so when you find out...

It looks amazing on your yellow (gold?). ?

That would potentially explain the issues I had in one location, but not the other (though I’d be more inclined to suspect the wiring there anyway). Like I said, I’ll have to test it out later when I get home. Hopefully it’s something simple like that, but I’ve got several more long drives...

So it will automatically set the amperage based on the connector used? That was the one question I was trying to figure out and couldn’t find a clear answer on. The price is definitely high, but the UL listing is nice, and it checks all the other boxes. I’ll have to watch your review, thanks!

This is fair. I haven’t ruled out the possibility that the Rivian charger could be repaired, as I have been on the road for the past week and unable to test it under any sort of controlled condition (or charge my R1T with it in multiple locations). I will definitely look into that possibility...

Nice, I like that. This is also my favorite feature of the Rivian charger, though I wish there were more connector options. Having to use the NACS adapter is a bit annoying, though.

The Rivian portable charger that came with my R1T appears to be crapping out. What are the best options for alternatives? I’m leaning towards a Grizzl-E Mini, but I don’t want to discount any good options. Being able to plug into a variety of receptacles is a major selling point, as charging at...
