A quick little 3 night getaway to a NC state park an easy 75 mile drive from home. Listening to contemporary jazz on the (very useful and much derided) camp speaker. Will turn off in a bit to listen to the whip-o-wills. Campsite has a 30 and 50 amp service, charge the truck and run the camper...

I had a rock hit the windshield on my R1T (2022 launch edition) 3 weeks ago, leaving a silver dollar sized pockmark. I have Allstate insurance, and I followed the Allstate protocol which dictated a “repair” rather than a replacement. Safelite came out and sealed it up but said it needed to be...

Just back from a week long camping trip with 2022 gen 1 R1T, followed by a long weekend visit to family. 1,074 miles. Stays at two NC State Parks with combo 50 amp (for truck) and 30 amp (for camper) service. 4 DCFC sessions, plus charging at family houses. We are pulling an an Aliner Expedition...

I have SXM in another car and have the bundled streaming and a second streaming add on plan. I just spent 30 minutes on the phone with SXM and I’m more confused than ever. I thought the Rivian solution was just streaming like on your phone but built into the infotainment system, but I have a...

Stopped at the newly expanded Tesla charging station today in Halifax NC on I95. 60 charging stalls (wow!), new V4 stalls with the long cables so non-Teslas can charge without taking two spots. Lots of solar panels covering one of the rows of stalls. I’m sure there was a megapack there somewhere.

I had a problem back on September 11th (Tesla adapter did not properly release after a fast charge session - the official adapter). I reported on another thread last month, which necessitated a trip to Richmond VA (a 4 hour trip from my house). The Service Centers often get a bad rap, so I...

I have an R1T Launch Edition vin 7xxx. I had a strange thing happen yesterday. I have an official Tesla NACS adapter, which I have previously used successfully. I stopped at a Tesla supercharger yesterday, charged successfully (22% to 50% in 15 min). I stopped the charge from the truck, which...

VIN 077XX, delivery June 2022 W00t! i now have an unused A2Z adapter I need to re-home ?

Meadows of Dan, Virginia (MoD), has become one of our favorite spots. It’s 300 miles from home, and has a RAN charger (the Blue Ridge Parkway rollout). MoD also has, in addition to hiking and chilling, two good wineries within 10 miles. We’ve previously camped in a National Park campground about...

Towed the Aliner Expedition from home in coastal NC to central South Carolina. We we’d been looking for a place to go for a quick getaway, and a place that’s EV friendly. The South Carolina State Park system has an arrangement with Rivian, and there are waypoint chargers at each park. Just got...

I picked up the boat from service this afternoon (first tow since the update), and it builds and stores a profile of the trailer, and estimates the range at 100%. The computed weight for the boat looks reasonable. This also shows the new “gauge view” feature. I look forward to seeing how this...

I know, you can laugh at me, but we actually use the Camp Speaker a lot! Mostly for playlists for exercise, but sometimes for camping too. However, though it’s worked fine for 15 months, my iPhone 13 now can’t connect. I’ve restarted the speaker and my phone. It was all fine until I updated to...

I posted a trip report a little over a week ago (July 21), on camping on the BRP near Meadows of Dan VA. One of the stops on that trip was to look at an Aliner hard side pop up camper. We’d been looking at all sorts of small campers since I got my R1T in June of 2022. We looked at Meerkats...

We are back in the Meadows of the Dan area this weekend. Charging at the MoD station. Met Dennis, and chatted while we (and he) charged (he has LA Silver/Mountain black R1T like me ?). He said that the Cherokee charger at the south end of the Parkway should be live today. Also, the MoD charger...

A quick 2 night camping trip near Meadows of the Dan in southern VA. We spent a few days visiting the grandkids in Centreville (my son has two 50 amp NEMA 14-50 plugs in his garage), then went over to the Shenandoah Valley on I-66 and I-81. Stopped for an errand in Roanoke VA. Used the RAN...

Interesting observations about the Rivian’s “sleep-wake” cycle. First, a bit of background. I’m in Barcelona getting ready to get on a the Dave Koz Jazz Cruise (Tough gig, but someone’s gotta do it!). We have solar at home with storage (2x Powerwall)and are 100% self consumption. So we try to...

I had my (21”) tires rotated today for the second time at my local shop (I have a set of 1EV lift pucks). No noticeable wear. Probably 75% of the miles in Conserve mode on the highway. Other than that, I use it like a truck in all-purpose, I haul stuff, and tow stuff,, including an 8,000 pound...

I had mobile service replace the passenger side DRL/headlight/turn signal assembly. VIN 77xx, in service since June 2022 It started doing the “fast blink” for right turns while on a trip in late March. Confirmed the rear signal was blinking but the front was not. Sometimes it blinked orange once...

Just simple shoutout of kudos for Rivian mobile service. I needed the seat sensor recall done, and the driver’s side gear tunnel entrapment release threw an error about once per month (I’ve had my R1T since June). I called a week ago, dispatch said they came to my area on Thursdays, and gave me...

My wife and I are considering small campers. We’ve tossed out teardrops and clamshells…as we were browsing an RV lot today, I wondered if anyone in the group had any experience with a popup. These are not “air movers” as they are about the same height as the truck bed. We’ve looked at several...
