I don't think I can count on an outlet at the house that wouldn't require an extension cord with the portable charger, which Rivian doesn't recommend. Has anyone used portable charger with an extension cord for an extended period of time?
Should mention I'm on 20" wheels with new snow tires.
should I risk it? NJ to Olean, NY.
I can take my wife's car, but of course I want to take the truck.
One quirk is essentially no charging for the 3.5 days I'm there, so probably have to arrive with about 40% charge to make it back to Bath NY...
@Oldsmobile_Mike the only thing I would say is, have you driven an R1T yet? They really are great. And what turned me around and made me move forward despite range/max pack concerns and nearly convincing myself that I should just get a 2023 GMC Canyon AT4X and likely never worry about anything...
@Jack Smoke
I was going to wait for the max pack and was also happy to let rivian work out kinks for another 18 months. But I got an invite to gear shop and jumped in about a week ago.
I still have range anxiety for longer trips because 3rd party charger networks are iffy vs. Tesla. I have to...
Rivian gave me a higher offer for my 2010 4runner a few weeks ago. 11,750, which I thought was great. carman was 11k and Carvana was $11,250. But alas, I couldn't find my title. Still don't have a replacement. I bet that stupidity will end up costing me at least $1000 if not 1500 by the time I...
My gear was included in my purchase but my spare tire was not available in the vehicle I got from the shop. I asked why, can't they just throw a spare in there from the service center? The person explained that since it was coming from the factory without it, the VIN specifically is tied to no...
I don't think it's the frunk hood because when I checked the app right now, It did ask whether I wanted to "wake the vehicle". I assume that means it's basically asleep? Also, I don't even have gear guard turned on at all.
it's a good point on whether it might have ticked back up as it warmed. but I just checked it now (it's parked at a train station) and here's where I am overall:
I parked it at 10:18pm last night at 91%.
I woke up and it was 88%.
As of now it's 15 hours after I parked it last night. I drove 23...
Love (LOVE!) the truck, but so far I'm a little concerned about battery.
Vampire drain:
First pic is this morning. 88%. Second pic is night before, 91%, so only 10 hours earlier. Yeah it' sa little cold, but I really hope it doesn't lose 3% every 10 - 12 hours. Imagine going camping for 2...
I’m usually pretty minimalist but I’m surprised the LED colors can’t be changed on some of the light bars, eg for holidays, like these tints

Most LED lights in home have a range of colors.
After seeing this post, I immediately ordered a set of Nokians based on recs in this forum. Local guy will install them even though he's not selling them. I got them from Simple Tire, hopefully they are a good choice.

Well, she's a beauty! Picked her up today in Brooklyn and drove back to NJ and around town a bit. It's a wonderful machine. Didn't notice any thing wrong, other than a weird thing where once I couldn't get Apple Music/podcasts to play through bluetooth but have successfully done that 5 out of 6...
Man. I had blocked out of my mind that one reason I was ok to wait for Max pack is some of these issues. And then was seduced by so many people loving their trucks (and looking deeper into EA app, which does seem to show a ton of good chargers). So, I pick up my 14xxx VIN on Friday morning. I...
