Has anyone done an after market addition of an XM radio? My wife wants to listen to the news channels on XM ... the app doesn't work well since we are in a cellular reception challenged area. And if you don't remember to fiddle with your phone before leaving, it is a pain in the butt. Or...

That was mine! Or rather my wife’s! Cute puddle light!

For instance, blind spot warning. Is there a way to increase the audio volume of that and other warnings?

Oh my gosh, I'm getting my R1S tomorrow! More info: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/april-may-2022-delivery-club-hype-thread.3243/post-231963

Getting my R1S tomorrow! The timeline: I reserved 11/30/18 for an R1S. Launch Edition, quad motor, large battery, El Cap, 20" AT Dark wheel, Black Mountain interior, compact spare, cargo crossbars, wall charger. Got my "Time to begin the purchase process" email on 10/13. Guide contacted me...

Incidentally, I recently got my vin! Hoping for a December delivery now.

If you didn't pre-order one, then it'll cost you $800 to get one now. I had pre-ordered it when I configured my launch edition.

You definitely want two Wall Connectors. Sharing one between two EVs is a pain, and the cable might not reach to both. For most people, sharing one circuit makes a lot of sense. If you have the load capacity, then wiring each to their own 60A breaker is nice to have. At full power, that would...

Ack! You are right! Gen 3 is wireless for the load share data communication. I updated my post.

Well, I can only go by the info on the Tesla store's page. There, it links to a generic specifications page where it lists specs for all Wall Connectors. In practice, I would find it odd if Tesla built an entirely new Wall Connector just for J1772. The Tesla charging protocol is identical to...

Well, from an engineering perspective, that might matter. But from a user's perspective, all that matters is range since each vehicle has vastly different efficiencies. The Teslas and the Rivian have approximately the same range as does the EQS. The Lucid, of course, has a lot more. Now, the...

Just for completeness: Tesla Model Y Long Range: 10-80%: 27 minutes Tesla Model X Dual Motor: 10-80%: 30 minutes Info from: https://ev-database.org/ It's interesting. I had always thought that Rivian's end plate cooling would be better than Tesla's side cell cooling, but apparently the...

Here's my stab at comparing The Tesla and Rivian Wall Chargers. Same power output (11.5 kW, 48A, both need a 60A breaker for full power). Same J1772 handle. Both have WiFi for firmware updates. Old Rivian price is $500, current Rivian price is $800, Tesla price is $550. Tesla unit cable is...

So my guide contacted me via text. My R1S is still in Normal, and he expects 4-6 weeks transit plus 1-2 weeks prep. So ... Christmas present?

Almost every day lately, but apparently all I had to do was check my email. I actually got my “guide” in the spring, but I’ve never talked with him. Even now, I left him a voice mail, but no contact yet.

Well, I couldn't advance to the next step (which I guess was payment) unless I provided it. My insurance agent was kind enough to figure out a document I could use.

Launch Edition, quad motor, large battery, El Cap, 20" AT Dark wheel, Black Mountain interior, compact spare, cargo crossbars, wall charger.

Yahoo! Just got my R1S "Time to begin the purchase process" email. Going through the 8 step process. Kinda of annoying that I have to provide proof of insurance with the VIN number before I actually have the vehicle! Reserved 11/30/2018, San Diego, CA. I might be one of the first San Diego R1S...

Are you still waiting for your dark wheels?

I'm waiting for my R1S still. Just to add insult to injury, I got an email from RIvian about delivery saying that they'll update me on delivery timing at the end of October. Yikes.
