  1. Crash test (using Rivian R1T) shows electric vehicles may overpower safety barriers

    Certainly, a lot to take in and a very visual demonstration that current guard rail standards don't stand up to today's heavy vehicles, EV or ICE. This was clearly designed to bash EVs - they could have taken any large ICE truck and I hazard to guess it would be even more spectacular and...
  2. Backing out of garage - wipers went crazy

    Mine started doing that too recently, pulling in and sometimes backing out. I think it started after the 50.01 update, but not sure if the two are connected...
  3. Range Loss in Extreme cold temperatures … Great Job, Rivian!

    I had a similar loss while parked at the airport. I had a daily preconditioning schedule with the slider set to pull from the charger. On day four I turned preconditioning off on the app and daily loss was back to normal (4 or 5 miles/24H). I think that even though the slider is set to pull from...
  4. Amazing cold weather performance in 19 degree temps thanks to preconditioning update which landed just in time

    I pay 6c/kWh, last bill total was $177 for 1670kWh =10.05c/kWh, Energy Harbor for Power & Ohio Edison for Service
  5. I decided to buy winter tires

    I cancelled snow shoes today after TireRack pushed back delivery half a dozen times. Ordered in November, delivery estimate went from Dec 22, latest estimate: Feb 08. I'll probably regret my decision....
  6. Rivian Preheating for Planned Drives - Does NOT Precondition The Battery (Update it does if plugged in?)

    By running battery power through the motor windings, the combined coolant loop moves heat to the battery.
  7. Rivian Preheating for Planned Drives - Does NOT Precondition The Battery (Update it does if plugged in?)

    This makes sense to me. The other day I forgot to plug in and it still preconditioned, even though I had the slider set to "Pull from charger to maintain range." But I agree it's seems buggy, I also had one instance when it did not pre-condition when scheduled while plugged in. Personally, I...
  8. Rivian Preheating for Planned Drives - Does NOT Precondition The Battery (Update it does if plugged in?)

    There's a theory that pre-conditioning the battery returns better efficiency (m/kWh) and the investment of pre-condtions pays enough dividends to come out ahead. On my drives, I have no evidence, at best it could be a wash under the right conditions, but then you would have the benefit of a warm...
  9. Are there any products you need for the Rivian and nobody made yet?

    Universal hardpoint mountings for the Rivian mounting points on the roof and bed rails. E.g. a metal attachments that converts what's there to a 1/2 threaded hole. Stainless would be awesome.
  10. Are there any products you need for the Rivian and nobody made yet?

    I'd be a buyer for a nice looking, waterproof fiberglass truckcap. (Would get me one step closer to cutting a small door into the bulkhead to the gear tunnel)
  11. Charging Port popping open when hosing car down!

    I suppose it's possible with the click-pen mechanism, not with a cable release and not by spraying water on it.
  12. Charging Port popping open when hosing car down!

    The motorized door is feature I could do without. When I put mine through a stationary car wash the first time, I forgot about car wash mode. I locked the truck thinking about door handles (which I also find pointless). PAAK unlocked inadvertently with brushes approaching. Thankfully the...
  13. Vampire drain - what's the latest battery % loss people are getting?

    I've been home sick for a few days with R1Tmax DMP in roughly 30' garage, not plugged in. I lose a good 7 miles in a 24hr period, seemingly no change from pre 50.01 update. (checked SOC on my app 2x day, never unlocked the truck). In my case, I equate that to about 2.5% of charge or 3.75kWh/day...
  14. 3D Printer help: an oval 90º "L" bracket to fit over charge port light

    I trimmed the top of the door ring (above the receptacle) with very thin, highly reflective duct tape (read duct not duck), seems to help a tad bit. I hope it doesn't fall off one day and gets mangled in the mechanism...
  15. Charging door open close sensor INOP

    There are at least two other threads on this. To summarize: Most think this was due to the last update, and a soft reboot fixes it. Other think it is related to temperature, moisture or dirt, some report that wiping the sensor down helps.
  16. Charging door open close sensor INOP

    Same here, I had problems right after the update, never before. I chalked it off to cold weather (e.g. iced over sensor?). Not sure if it has gotten better or I have gotten better putting my hand closer to the sensor. Anyway, it worked fine the last few times, but reading these posts, I do think...
  17. Aluminum Door Panel warping

    I call BS. You are guys are too nice and shouldn't accept this. Heck, a Model T had better bodywork, even some CTs have straighter panels. There are millions of aluminum car doors that look perfect (F150). Audi mastered it 30 years ago. If this is because of the metal, then there was a...
  18. L2 charging (220v/12A) ...Why is it warming battery for 30 minutes before starting to add miles?

    In your phone app, go to Climate and push the fan symbol. I believe it will not only pre-condition the cabin, but also the battery. I have not tried this when plugged in, but I think the power will be pulled from the battery in this case. Opposed to the scheduling feature which allows you to...
