  1. So, you're thinking about buying an electric truck (R1T)? A new owner's perspective.

    I have a Kia EV6 GT-L FE with the 800 Volt, 350Kw capability. After 40k miles in long distance travel, the only 350kW chargers are from EA. They have a 50% chance of working above 150 Kw. Design or local power company restrictions aside. Bottom line. My travels with Rivian or my Kia have...
  2. Check your home electrical connections, friends

    If you can torque much more than 70 lbs with a "screwdriver", remind me not to arm wrestle you. ;)
  3. Check your home electrical connections, friends

    Or you can just crank it until it will not go anymore - which I found to be 70+
  4. Check your home electrical connections, friends

    Not bad advice. I have found that lower level drivers are spoty, but they are "accurate" at the top end - where it is necessary - not necessarily at lower levels where we don't care.
  5. Only able to program 8 garage doors

    You need the quad. Four for each motor.
  6. 3rd party wall chargers ok or not?

    If you go with the 14-50 receptacle, it is imperative that you get a quality socket such as Bryant or Hubbell - not the $20 box store socket. And torque the connections.
  7. Jump Start Wiring Harness - does the 12V input for jump start just bypass the 12V battery?

    And perhaps this for future issues... https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/alternate-frunk-release-for-gen-2.52822/
  8. Jump Start Wiring Harness - does the 12V input for jump start just bypass the 12V battery?

    Jump-start from the trailer wiring and open your frunk. There is is a 12 volt battery clamp post under the passenger side wiper cowling.
  9. FREE 7500 mile tire rotation and vehicle inspection

    Two vehicles back, I wanted the Rivian inspection. America’s tires was doing my rotation because I installed Defenders to replace the sucky Pirellis (many threads). Rivian wanted to charge me for a rotation that was not necessary so it was deducted from the inspection. Two different procedures...
  10. See a Rivian…Wave to a Rivian

    I have “waved” for years but the acknowledgements decreased as the vehicle population increased - no longer unique. And as the Rivian population increased, so did the single digit salutes increase from “coal burners” and 95 decibel Mustangs. (Maybe a couple times after “shutdown” ;) ).
  11. Has anyone gotten the 2025.46 Update yet? Please tell us your location and date you received.

    I got my update. Central California. I'm charging to 100% for possible V2L necessity for the impending pineapple express. If I have the L2 bug I will know soon. Update: 100% on L2 with no issues. Here come da rain!
  12. 2025.46 Update Teased: Customizable Driver Display for Gen 1 and Gen 2

    Still no option for putting other features on the driver screen. Like odometer, trip gauge (like other cars have had for a generation) and elevation because it helps establishing usage. Must be beyond their programing ability.
  13. Considering a new Quad

    I do have a 2026. Perhaps it has improved. Sounds like I need a Winter road trip to check it out. I'll take a run up to Tahoe and let you know. We don't have humidity but the summer temp can hit 105.
  14. Considering a new Quad

    Mine is whisper quite. You might want to get that checked out.
