  1. Ah, this time of year.....solar + rivian - less sun :(

    Yes, I am familiar with solar and its big drop Nov-March. Not much to do about it. Still cheaper and better than the alternative. And another reason to enjoy spring and summer in the northeast
  2. Ventilated Seats not working

    Odd. Mine work great. You can hear and feel the air. May want to get it checked out.
  3. Master Thread: Suspension Sounds - What is and isn't normal?

    Thanks! I appreciate the response. It sounds like something that is not out of the ordinary. I don't hear the hiss of air but the truck does change/reset the suspension level/height. I was worried that perhaps there was a leak or some other malfunction (I keep the suspension set and not on...
  4. Master Thread: Suspension Sounds - What is and isn't normal?

    I have lots of clicking in the rear suspension, in particular when first driving. I also have a 'ting' spring-like sound when I first get in the truck. No idea what it is, but it comes from the rear of the truck. Started hearing and feeling the slight creaking (more in the pedal) when first...
  5. Do you always carry keyfob or just keycard?

    Only key card unless going on a longer trip where I may want to give the fob to someone or not be able to use my phone. Without PAK, I would likely carry the fob.
  6. Rivian NACS Adapters begin arriving!

    Similar experience with others. Received the original email, then a long wait, then a 'confirm address' email, then a shipping confirmation. Scheduled delivery is Tuesday. May 2023 delivery.
  7. Solar Panels and Battery Backup

    We based our decision to purchase solar on the environmental impact, followed by cost. After that, and along side it, were guesses and random considerations such as expected increase in energy costs over time, future regulations/incentives and other minor conveniences such as battery back up...
  8. Solar Panels and Battery Backup

    Unfortunately, we do not have net metering. We are paid a flat rate for the power we send to the grid, regardless of the time of day. We receive a $10/month credit if we charge our vehicle at night (or via solar). My system uses solar to power my home and charge the battery. The battery gets...
  9. Solar Panels and Battery Backup

    And in particular when charging your Rivian, solar is rarely enough. I try to charge during peak sun, with a full back up battery (I keep a minimum of 10% for power during outages) also adding to power. The Rivian pulls form both solar and the back up battery.
  10. Solar Panels and Battery Backup

    Having a full battery and solar allows me to charge my R1T at 48 AMPS (or close to it). Without the battery, solar is almost never enough on its own.
  11. R2 & R3 Photos @ Portland Event

    Michelins?
  12. Solar Panels and Battery Backup

    We have a 12.96 system with one powerwall battery. It works well, but we would benefit from another powerwall (and I am told adding another battery is not particularly easy). The system produces about 70-75% of our power (in Massachusetts) yearly - great May-Sept, not so good Dec-March (our...
  13. Electric Lawnmower

    Someone gave me an electric Kobalt snow blower, so I bought the same brand lawn mower (with battery) and weed wacker. Since I have two batteries, I am never out of juice. They both perform well enough.
  14. Rivian’s Sales Approach

    I absolutely love the sales model. I recently purchased a low-cost Subaru and went and looked at two other car brands. It was awful.
  15. 20" Inch Five (5) 275/60R20 [33"] Tires Compared: Defender, Territory AT, Geolander CV4S, Grabber HTS60, and Nomad Grappler

    Looking at the original post/chart, is the Goodyear Wrangler Territory AT (OEM) 3PMSF? My understanding is that it is not.
  16. Picking Up My 2023 Quad Tomorrow! Last-Minute Charging Advice?

    I second Plugshare. I use it quite a bit when planning a long trip.
