  1. Current Rivian owners - What’s one change that would make you happier?

    1. Get rid of the clunky, heavy extended tailgate and replace with a 2 way tailgate like the Ridgeline. 2. get rid of the small unnecessary storage area under the back seat and have the seats fold (again like the Ridgeline) to have a useful open area for cargo (or dogs).
  2. Remotely view live video from vehicle?

    You can deactivate the location function in the vehicle settings. Except it doesn’t actually work and the app can still see the R’s location.
  3. GPS nav glitch?

    Just returned from a trip to Vancouver Island. Took the ferry. In both directions the nav got lost. While in the ferry it lost connection. When exiting the ferry it thought that I was still at the loading dock On the other side. It took 15 minutes of driving each way to get found. If I...
  4. 1,793 mile one way road trip in R1T -- from Phoenix to northwest Washington + packing 800lbs

    Average speed on the flats was probably 70-75. Hill climbs were 60-65 slower on some of those mountain curves in southern Oregon. Re: I-10. Remember I am traveling to and from Phoenix, not Palm Springs. After years of fighting I-10 from the LA end of the Grapevine through to PS and beyond to...
  5. Completed wonderful 2 Week R1T Road Trip: WA-OR-CA

    MY bad, it does not reduce your range. It reduces your fuel efficiency number, but not your actual efficiency.
  6. Traveling to Vancouver, need tips on charging

    Actually there is some logic to the time base billing as it gets the 85% - 100% slow chargers off the plug! This morning I checked my Chargepoint account and I was charged $1.93 (probably US$ as I am a US account) for 12KWh which is $0.16/kWh! Way cheaper than EA or Tesla or Chargepoint in...
  7. Completed wonderful 2 Week R1T Road Trip: WA-OR-CA

    Yup, I have noticed that. sitting with the power on (I can't figure out how to turn it off without exiting the truck) reduces your range significantly.
  8. Traveling to Vancouver, need tips on charging

    I travelled from Blaine Washington to BC ferry terminal in Tsawassen today. Then took the ferry to Duke Point Terminal, Nanaimo then driving to Duncan. Vancouver Island and Vancouver seem to have loads of level 2 6kw chargers. I did find a BC Hydro charger in Duncan @ 100kw. I had lots of...
  9. 1,793 mile one way road trip in R1T -- from Phoenix to northwest Washington + packing 800lbs

    Not totally secure, but weatherproof and gonna discourge the casual opportunistic thief. Having the cargo bars makes it almost impossible to get a bin out when you have the bed full with 2 L patterns. Plus bins are about $14 each, cables about $14 each, and locks maybe $5 each in bulk. I am...
  10. 1,793 mile one way road trip in R1T -- from Phoenix to northwest Washington + packing 800lbs

    OK, I did not do the full set up, but enough to illustrate what we did. 1st pic is 7' bike cable I bought a 2 pack from Amazon in case I stacked the bins and need more cable. The other cable is the Gear Guard cable which I used on the Yetis, but I could have used 2 bike cables. The padlocks...

    On one the screen said not available, on another it was just dark and did not have the usual EA screen. Tried it anyway, not working.
  12. 1,793 mile one way road trip in R1T -- from Phoenix to northwest Washington + packing 800lbs

    It's on Stockton Hill just after you get off of I-40 and about a quarter mile before the EA chargers.
  13. 1,793 mile one way road trip in R1T -- from Phoenix to northwest Washington + packing 800lbs

    Funny you should mention. We are headed to Vancouver Island on Friday. My research is ther are lots of level 2 chargers but not many fast and just about no ultra fast.
  14. 1,793 mile one way road trip in R1T -- from Phoenix to northwest Washington + packing 800lbs

    I did not take a photo and the trip was last week, so all is in the storage unit now. But it's just a couple of miles away. I can get over tomorrow afternoon and take a few pix. It's basically those black and yellow bins they sell at Costco and Home Depot plus 7' bike cables and a lot of...
  15. 1,793 mile one way road trip in R1T -- from Phoenix to northwest Washington + packing 800lbs

    Tigard is too close to Eugene for a stop. Eugene is half way between my place in Blaine, WA and my daughter in Davis CA. There may well be EA chargers at Northgate. That's where I thought I was going, but the computer l;ead me to the QFC a mile or so east where there was only the EVGo...
  16. 1,793 mile one way road trip in R1T -- from Phoenix to northwest Washington + packing 800lbs

    Recently drove from Phoenix to northwest Washington. Packing 800lbs +/-, including driver and passenger, 2 dogs lots of gear and luggage. Sure wish I had a tonneau cover but Rube Goldberg came to the rescue. A couple of those black plastic heavy duty bins with the yellow covers and 2 Yeti...
