Interesting! That might be the first confirmation that the Cincinnati location is legit. I wonder if it's open yet. That might be the location mine comes from, assuming we don't get our own Louisville SC. Gives me hope that they might be reaching out to us soon.
I got bit by a similar issue on my Tesla after owning it for 6 years. We've had a lot of issues in general (which only really became annoying after the warranty ran out and we started having to pay to get it hauled 100 miles to the SC), but this one was the one that frustrated me the most.
The...
It's in the manual under Troubleshooting and Help, Perform a Reset.
Before you do this, several owners have been asked to not perform the "hard reset" if they can avoid it, because it wipes out the logs and makes fixing these issues much harder. Obviously if you can't drive or it's a safety...
Exactly, there’s a button under the door that is pressed when you push on the door.
TBH, this is my one dislike with the design of the R1T charge door. I’m not sure why they didn’t just emulate Tesla for this part. I like the spin-and-open, but I don’t want to have to touch a filthy fender to...
The 120V outlets only switch off because they require an active inverter, which wastes power if you aren't using it.
The 12V plugs simply wire directly into the 12V power system.
I don't think we have enough information yet to determine if the Rivian is smart enough to keep the 12V batteries...
This also adds another reason why so many people are getting vehicles in the same region. Beyond the obvious about having a service center nearby, it makes sense to have a cluster of vehicles with an active group of trained techs so they can accumulate data to improve production quality all at...
Yeah, Max pack got shoved off, most likely due to the higher number of batteries needed. They aren't even starting on Max Pack deliveries until 2023 (and I think it's optimistic to think they'll start those early in the year). I originally had a Max Pack configured for my September 2021 order...
That's kind of lame. It doesn't affect much for me, but they shouldn't report the length with the flap, since it's not like you can remove it to get back that ~2" of depth. If the panel could easily be detached, then I could excluding it.
There has been discussion of this feature, but I would strongly suggest assuming you will not get it with the current vehicle.
My guess is (as you said) it will require new hardware, and Rivian has barely mentioned it except in abstract future terms. Even if they roll it out on future vehicles...
Yeah, I heard that, too—which is bizarre since I'm pretty sure that would have been a big selling point. I'm glad I grabbed them when I did, it was a bit of a gamble, but now I have a pretty future-proof setup. I plan on vinyl-wrapping at least the one to match my R1T (in yellow) once I get it...
That seems like a higher rate than I lose on my Model S leaving the HVAC running! When camping mode came out, people were only reporting about a 7-10% loss overnight, IIRC.
I consider my 2015 Model S drain initially after it finishes charging pretty bad, and it only goes from 85% to 83% most...
Could be more that 1) there were other issues, and 2) they wanted to have someone onsite to do diagnostics and see if they can narrow down why it happened, rather than just fix it and move on. It might prove to be a process issue they can fix at the factory, as well as making sure they double...
I got lucky. I had always just used my mobile charger for our Tesla, but when I decided 1) we were probably never going to buy a Tesla again, and 2) I wanted to go full electric, I started looking into my options.
Then Tesla put their J1772 wall connector up for sale for $415, which allows for...
I really loved your tonneau cover video. Seeing the pieces stack showed me something I don't think most of us realize: the interior space for the tonneau when collapsed just isn't that big. It packs down into a very shallow space, this clearly isn't something eating up a ton of usable room. In...
