I didn't sell any of my precious Rivians, but instead added a 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5. Long story short - the madness at the Federal government has seriously, drastically, and unexpectedly affected my business for the worse. I had to adjust and started working out of town regularly. It's not...

Grabbed some lunch earlier today and just had to park next this tiny little Smart Car EV (technically Smart EQ Fortwo, I believe). I find it mildly amusing and just wanted to share.

First off-road trip of the new year over the holidays was in the Lake Pleasant area just north of Phoenix, AZ on what is known as the China Dam/Tule Homestead Trail. Here's some info from Trails Offroad: https://www.trailsoffroad.com/US/arizona/trails/2098-china-damtule-creek-homestead...

I’m sad to report we had a minor accident with my R1S on the Big Island of Hawaii over Labor Day weekend. My wife and I had enjoyed a resort day for my birthday. She was backing out of a parking spot at the resort and hit the concrete base of a light post. It was very slow speed as she was...

Just looking for some thoughts on this situation. I can honestly see both sides. My R1S charge port was misaligned and scuffed up the driver's side headlight: Rivian mobile service came out pretty quickly and re-aligned the door: Rivian scheduled a service center visit to address the...

I was out of town for a little over a week. My Gen 1 2022 R1T Quad Large had auto-installed the latest update (custom interior lighting) while I was away. When I returned, I was able to drive the car as normally to work. However, when I was leaving work later that day the car would not shift out...

Just noticed this in my pile of mail at home:

TLDR: I hooked up a battery charger/maintainer to the 12V battery in my R1S and so far (3+ days) there has been no loss in SOC from the main battery pack. I returned to the mainland on Friday (8/9/2024) and left my R1S garaged in Hawaii. It was set to charge to 70%, but dropped to 69% at some...

Just posting my experience RE: the NACS adapter being a multi-Rivian owner. I personally bought an R1T new in 9/2022; an R1S new in 7/2023, and a second R1S used in 12/2023. I've heard different things, but the following is what I was just told. - used R1S does NOT qualify for a free adapter...

Took my 2023 Gen 1 Quad Large R1S (named Pele) on what is literally called R1 Road (aka Mauna Kea Access Road; Kahinahina Rd) earlier today. Off shoot roads also include R2, R3, etc (up to R12 or 13?). Incredibly appropriate road names! I’ll add more notes later but just a TLDR for now: -...

Last night noticed a very weird noise that appeared to be coming from the charge port area. It’s not quite a clicking noise but I can’t think of any other way to describe it. Vehicle was charging at home @ 11.2 kW at the time with no error alerts or other observable malfunction. However, the...

Was back up in Sedona last weekend with my R1T. From Phoenix drove to Schnebly Hill Road and I-17 and took Schnebly down into Sedona. Schnebly is a Jeep Badge of Honor Trail. It's not difficult. Just somewhat long at 11 miles and bumpy. However, the views are worth it. Left Phoenix at 100%...

Was at the office today in my R1T. My wife’s R1S was at home since she telecommutes. Noticed the app indicated the R1S was at home. Is this new? I don’t remember seeing this before - only the “see your vehicle’s current location” option.

The OEM compressor hose can be a pain to roll up and get back in the bag. I gave the following air hose a shot. It worked well, is very light, recoils and is super easy to get back in the bag. This makes the air compressor so much more usable because I’d personally avoid using sometimes because...

In Sedona with my R1T this weekend. Was going to take an R1S but some folks backed out and we didn’t need the extra seats, so R1T it was. Did Solider’s pass previously. Nice little trail. It was fun in the mud. Vultee Arch is a bit crowded in the first portion but farther back in was much less...

In case anyone was wondering (and I wasn't expecting it to work), I just tried charging my brother's Polestar 2 at the newly opened Phoenix RAN and got the following message: Was only curious because of what I observed during a RAN stop last month. So just in case anyone else was curious...
