So after seeing Idaho got some Rivian love with a nice RAN charging station, I had to look at Rivian's plan for New Mexico. And I was happy to see a future charging spot in Albuquerque (and only a mile from my house. Though I guess I won't charge too often since, again, 1 mile from my house)...

Drop? Stock market is weird Elon Musk: 'We dug our own grave with the Cybertruck...

So (writing this on my phone so excuse any typos or grammar errors). This weekend we went up to the Jemez Mountains and did an overnight. Beautiful day, wonderful weather. 70’s and sunny. 8000 feet and the sun is strong. I walk by the truck and the fan is running. Turn it off and walk away...

Has this been out and I missed it?

Ok...so the other day I couldn't hear sound from my iPhone. It was really killing the vibe as I scrolled through my TicToks... So I checked the audio connection and the audio was going to my Rivian Campspeaker: which was about 50 feet and three walls away in the garage. Which was strange, but...

My finger tips are obviously icky as my screen is also icky. Who makes the best screen cover that hides fingerprints and also doesn't interfere with touch? Matt vs clear? Thanks All...

Ok: trying to decide if I want to go full body stealth. Pros and cons? Thanks

Well TurboTax just informed me that the Electric Car Credit portion of their software will be available on 1/19/23 I will take some images of it when it goes "live" to see what info they are "running" with. Now I did get my Rivian at the end of Dec 2022, so I'm guessing mine will be no issue...

Gonna get my windows tinted tomorrow. Ceramic 70 as I don’t want dark windows at night. I’m old. Just looking to keep the car a bit cooler in our sunny weather. My question: anybody also tint the front windshield to the AS-1 line? If so, how dark? Any photos. Also: roof. Not doing that...

What do you do when a Tesla waves at you?!? I was caught unaware. A white Model Y drove by and the owner had a huge smile on his face and waved at/to me. I was taken aback. I meekly waved back with a quizzical look on my face. Now I know Jeep people have their thing. And I often waved at other...

Ok, before anybody yells at me, I did look through the manual and I did see preconditioning mentioned: But, and it’s a big but, I don’t see anywhere where it tells me how to set it, start it, or even what it is, or when I need it. Yes I semi understand it, but on cold mornings do I need to do...

You park far in the back! Oh, and a Costco sled fits in the tunnel

Is it using my phone? I mean how is it getting its info to map where I’m at (often where there isn’t cellular?) Or is it satellite? Like Sirius XM? And if satellite, who’s paying for it? Just wondering if I should be watching my cell phone usage, or if I should be thinking about when Rivian...

Ok. Mostly this is to say YAY I have my R1T. Also to ask a question or two. So first: YAY. Second: picked up in Denver and drove to Albuquerque same day. This was Friday. Was supposed to get Tuesday but I was screwed during the great Southwest Meltdown of Christmas 2022. Only reason this is...

So I was finally granted shop access!!! And there is a truck that is close to the one I wanted, so I am thinking of pulling the trigger. But it says 6-8 weeks or sooner. In 6-8 weeks I'm likely to get my exact build made. So do I wait or not. Gah!! Hair pulling, teeth gnashing, foot stomping...

I am still confused and some new information appeared on some sites (and it seems there is still some plans to try and amend the 2023 law, but I seriously doubt anything will come out of a divided Congress). No political talk please :) It seems that while the 2022 purchases get the full 7,500...

https://www.autoblog.com/2022/11/09/honda-sony-ev-dealer-service/ Rivian could have a partnership for service with auto dealership service centers (Honda, VW, Mazda all seem like good options) https://sourcenm.com/2022/10/10/second-tribe-in-new-mexico-set-to-open-tesla-dealership-in-2023/...

Ok: so I was given a Jan/Feb 2023 delivery window. But I still have “powered tonneau” selected. So I chatted up CS to see if I needed to change that and if it would mess with my delivery status. I was told it wouldn’t change my delivery date. So I change to manual cover. And now I am “processing...

So most people have now received an updated delivery date. Some are happy, some are...less happy? As it's been said, it tough to start up a new car company, and yes Rivian has made some unforced errors along the way. I am still hopeful that the wait will be worth it. But there is also a new...

So: seems the powered Tonneau cover option is still active at the Rivian site. After the email, did people go and change from powered to manual or no cover? I changed to manual, then changed back to powered. I am hoping (like with the price increase) Rivian rethinks this a bit. Not to keep...
