2017 X HW3 MCU2 here, and you won't here me complaining. Saturday FSD drove us 100 miles down to Phoenix to watch a game and 100 miles back. While leaving the ballpark traffic was a mess and police were directing at intersections. As I approached an intersection with a stop sign the officer...

I will often turn it on when stopped behind a vehicle at a stoplight. It auto sets to 20 but I dial it up to the speed limit so when traffic starts moving I accelerate along with it. If the light / stop is too long a message will pop up that adaptive cruise is suspended but just pressing on the...

Our first EV road trip was in 2017 in a Chevy Bolt. DCFC meant 24 kW about half the time -- if you could find a working charger in the first place. Ain't it grand now we can worry about the price? That said I wish there was an easy way to see the prices at a location. You have to open each...

They've fixed a lot of the pothole issues on I-10 now. I just drove from San Marcos CA to Prescott AZ on I-15, I-215, Hwy 60, I-10 from Beaumont thru Quartzsite, then up Hwy 60 again (to 70, to 89 and home). Literally -- we got home about 2.5 hours ago. We do this route frequently, back and...

I see it is just on their "plan" and not even permitted yet. It will be a while. We were just there last November and managed to visit the surrounding area with just those two ChargePoints by the Riverwalk downtown plus some charging at other DCFC in the surrounding area. The price was generally...

I couldn’t disagree more — @beatle nailed it. What matters to me is how much it cost to go from point a to point b. I don’t care if the fuel is electricity, hydrogen, gas, diesel, or unicorn farts. What does it cost per mile? When computing these costs don’t forget to include: - start the trip...

We travel between San Diego CA and Prescott AZ a lot. We typically stop in Quartzsite to charge. For the first year of ownership we used the RAN at 36¢/kWh. Now that location is 61¢/kWh. I now use the Tesla superchargers across the street. Non membership prices are 54¢ and membership prices are...

I looked on Amazon -- a favorite shopping place. I saw a lot of cheap Chinese stuff I didn't want to trust. I finally went with the Hansshow one. It has been working great with my Tesla UMC2 when camping. It is rated for 80 amps -- way more than the 48 max of the Rivian...

Funny it seems to be Colorado. When I first picked up our Rivian and took it out on the highway -- 5 minutes after picking it up -- took a rock hit from a truck in another lane. It took a divot but too small to repair. It was below the view area anyway. This was in Arizona. Fast forward one...

I have used Tesla superchargers about a thousand times over the years and have only had to queue less than a dozen of those times. It just doesn't happen that often -- where I charge anyway. Still, I've always thought the app or in car nav should have a queing system. If it were for Tesla only...

So you had a manual tonneau cover and somehow got upgraded to a powered tonneau cover? Please tell me how -- that's my dream. With my trailer attached the bed is fairly useless. I cannot open the tailgate with the trailer, and you can't open the manual tonneau without the tailgate open.

Thanks for that link. It was a bit difficult to read with the ums and whatnot. I passed that text into chatgpt and out popped this "concise" version. Admittedly I deleted the raffle sales pitch and the salutation. It now reads fairly easily. Better yet was the "extract key points" feature. An...

I can't believe he drove the whole loop without stopping to do a hard reboot to get the driver+ back. I had the same issue the other day. The lane assist, collision avoidance, and one other indicator was going off and I could not set cruise control. I wasn't on a road allowing auto steer assist...

This was in Colorado and I do believe there are elk but I never saw one. I saw plenty of deer and one time some big horn sheep. They were blocking the road and I just waited for them to clear. I didn't want to make them mad and have one ram the truck. How do you explain that to the insurance...

They should copy Tesla's model (again). Charge a membership fee to non-Rivians to get "Rivian" rates, otherwise it is 10 cents/whatever more a kWh. I've checked areas I frequent and the new Rivian price seems to match the nearby Tesla supercharger rate (with membership).

Interestingly I charged at Flagstaff on the 6th for 36 cents/kWh and then a week later it was 44 cents. I looked in the car's nav and it still said 36 cents but the app did show the new price of 44 cents.

I do with the same philosophy and watch for deer along the side of the road. When headlights are coming at me, especially if they don't dim them, it makes watching for deer tough. In my case a car had just gone by and I didn't see it at all until it was in the opposite lane heading my direction...

Barely missed one myself last week. Missed it by inches with a lot of brakes and swerving. They seem suicidal.

I'm dealing with this myself right now. Reported the broken window yesterday. First Rivian SC appointment is February 14th. I have Safelite coming to my house on Saturday to replace the window but they say I still need Rivian to recalibrate. Maybe some Safelite locations can recalibrate but the...

ElectriFi does some Interesting / incorrect math when towing. The Rivian changes your rated range when towing which seems to mess up their math. Here is a segment towing my Alto A2124 camp trailer with my Dual Motor Max Pack. The parts that are true are circled in green, blue are due to using...
