The factory jack is strictly emergency use only. Bent means the manner in which it was used (load that wasn’t level) exceeded its parameters (made of steel for this very reason, deformation before catastrophic failure). Do not use it again. Switch to a reputable bottle jack, of at least 3-ton...

They should offer that RAD multi-color wrap as option. Looks great and would make news as trend setting.

Not meant to suggest you were complaining. Just noting how long you got out of yours compared to typical lifespan of 12V in ICE, which tracks, and in contrast to popular accusation that Rivians consume them aggressively… partially true (when BMS wasn’t right). Also tracks that perhaps they went...

Heh. Your $ is better spent attracting/inviting feral cats than on gizmos engineered to lighten your wallet.

Charged successfully around noon. No one was there except one unattended R1S, which was there went I arrived and remained when I left. Might not be aware of idle fee? All posts have county certification sticker. But not showing in the nav or mobile app. Guessing it’s a matter of time and...

IMO wait until you are closer to needing it. No point tying up funds now, before you can actually use the extended warranty.

Rivianroamer has all info. Including current status and pricing. https://rivianroamer.com/charging/sites/US-RIV-L1536973069723518180

Official map shows Spectrum, right? That mall has a Supercharger already. But, who knows, it might still be in plans. Just not happened yet. Or, Irvine Co. wants too much $ for that location.

Mount to seatback not the glass roof. The glass roof is over $2k to replace if cracked. I’d leave it be as much as possible.

What you’re missing is that the General is not 3PMSF nor a MS rated tire. And some people live in climates where snowy winters are a reality; the case for the Goodyear. Plus, it’s a factory offering with a software profile make specifically for it. As for the Hankook… compare UTQG and mileage...

So it has a hard shell with a large clear window? I probably wouldn’t ever pick this over the Rivian branded iKamper simply because I would most likely leave the tent permanently mounted. That large window means more than 300 days per year of sun exposure. Even if the window can block some...

Wrong. Just plain wrong. Tuck tail and go away. And even when RAN is near a Supercharger… Tell me, do you also complain when there are more than one gas station at any intersection?? Since when, as consumer, is it wrong to have options? Not only wrong, it’s an unintelligent complaint to hold...

Doesn’t hurt to ask

That is seriously impressive. And Nevada isn’t exactly high elevation like Colorado. Maybe it’s NV’s criminally low speed limit? 😆

Exists only because of competition from China, eroding Toyota’s market dominance. Anyone following the auto industry knows Toyota’s half hearted position on EVs. And that position is reflected in the equally half hearted EVs they make. And those who buy them aren’t getting their money’s worth.

Those who have a garage or driveway, there is merit in using a tender. I have an Optima red top that is 10+ years old in my other car (hardly driven, the Rivian ruined all ICE cars for me), which is always hooked up to a tender. And it still fires up and runs. IIRC, at least for gen1, the OBD...

Not always. Don’t spread generalizations that aren’t always true. And if you have referrals, you get to charge for free, until the perk expires. And 90% of new ones are not in CA. FFS people. Don’t be lazy. Look up actual information. On rivianroamer’s charging page you can sort the RAN list by...

+10 All NACS. After all these years there is finally a RAN near Rivian HQ in Irvine.

Irvine RAN is live and online!!! 10 plugs, all NACS. Gen1ers, bring your adapter.

Car batteries in ICE generally last 3-5 years? Given gen1 has more computers and active system (while parked), 3.5 is probably the best one could expect? Cost of replacing two at a time stings though. Makes me wonder if half that is the expectancy of single battery gen1, which is just about the...
