  1. Home charger limits to ~ 14 amps

    I had the exact same issue (14A limit) and called the support line. I was asked to send in pics of the charger with faceplate removed and our electrical panel, and videos of the charger powering on and the actual issue as seen on the vehicle’s screens. Once sent this information, I was called...
  2. PPF question - spend $7k to put a clear PPF on $80k vehicle?

    Mine took 4 days for a full wrap with wrap around edges (except for around the bed rails which the shop said will lift the PPF due to bed flex so they go just short of the rail by a couple of mm). This was at 503 Motoring in Portland, OR. Shop originally quoted 3-5 days, then upped that to...
  3. OBD-II port is an easy option for dashcam power

    See this thread and Litng's post a little ways down. I used this to hardwire my V1 radar detector and it's switched power. Detector turns off when the truck is locked and turns back on when unlocked. Additionally, there are then no wires to route around the cabin. There's a large, convenient...
  4. R1T 12v batteries dead

    These batteries are truly the Achilles' heel of these trucks... I assume they have two of them as some sort of redundancy, but it seems like they fail together.
  5. R1S - first test drive impression

    When I did my First Mile last year, I was surprised by the amount of motor noise and wasn't expecting this. However, this was a BIG plus to me since I like vehicles with character and while going EV automatically eliminates a lot of that (engine and exhaust noise), I feel like the R1 motor...
  6. PPF question - spend $7k to put a clear PPF on $80k vehicle?

    OriGenbio, No problems with PPF over the radar area. Since Rivian themselves provide Xpel over that area, I don't expect any type of PPF to cause any issues. Brian
  7. PPF question - spend $7k to put a clear PPF on $80k vehicle?

    This was a no-brainer for me since I frequently do a Portland, OR to Bend, OR trip over the Mt. Hood pass and in the winter time, it's sanded with volcanic pumice. The fronts and lower sides of vehicles can get pretty chipped-up. At other times of the year, highway driving will incur rock...
  8. Rivian Maxtrax mounts installed

    Inkedsphynx, I installed the mounts on my crossbars over the bed no problem. What do you mean they won't fit?
  9. Sudden Acceleration During Parking

    A couple of weeks ago I let some friends drive my R1T and when we pulled into a restaurant parking lot for lunch, the wife was driving and her husband was in the back seat. She crept into the parking spot feathering the accelerator as expected and then when she was ready to stop, the vehicle...
  10. Potential Vampire Drain Culprit? Side note on wiper blades.

    When I pulled the plastic cover off that hides all the wiring and gadgets in the rearview mirror area in order to install a hardwired power cable for my V1 radar detector, I noticed that there is an aluminum box mounted to the windshield that was quite warm. Apparently it's constantly consuming...

  12. 12V battery troubles

    I use the Lithium version of this on one of my cars that has a lightweight LiFePo battery as it's a dry weather only vehicle so stays on a float charger all the time: Bluetooth Battery Tracker. You simply connect it to a battery and it monitors it continuously. You connect to it via a free...
