  1. Hail Rivian!

    I've charged at that very state park before! Every TN state park has two of them. And we have a ton of state parks, to boot. There's 5-6 parks within an hour drive of my house. I have to say, though, the campgrounds in Georgia's state parks are nicer than ours. I've stayed in GA twice and...
  2. 50 Amp extension cord - ok?

    I use one every time I go camping. The travel trailer gets plugged into the 30 amp outlet and my Rivian gets plugged into the 50amp outlet. I can confirm that the Rivian mobile charger is capped at 32 amps, FYI. I went with a 25' long cord...
  3. Charging at RV sites?

    My Rivian is currently plugged into the 50amp/240v outlet at the campsite im staying at by using this 25' extension cord: https://a.co/d/2PZ6eQY My camper is 30' long tounge to bumper, so between this extension cord and the Rivian mobile charger, I can park the truck anywhere in front of the...
  4. DEMO R1’s VS. USED

    I didn't test drive mine. Mostly because I was ready to get back home with a 6.5 hour drive each way. Would they be willing to let an employee drive the truck with you riding shotgun? At least you could listen for noises in that scenario.
  5. Alexa Music Skipping?

    Skipping/buffering/stuttering has certainly been a problem with mine after the last update or two. I can play Amazon Music without any trouble in my company car (over wireless Android Auto) or directly from my phone to a bluetooth speaker without any issues. Seems to be on Rivian's side, for sure.
  6. DEMO R1’s VS. USED

    No, Rivians only qualified for half the full tax credit last year since the battery cells were sourced from China, but assembled in the US. (IIRC, someone correct me if I'm wrong)
  7. DEMO R1’s VS. USED

    Laserboy1054 summed it up: The demo vehicles are "new" and below the $80k cap. So unless something has changed for 2025, as long as your income is below the threshold, you should qualify for it. It came right off the purchase price on my sale.
  8. DEMO R1’s VS. USED

    I purchased my demo R1T one year ago. Absolutely no regrets. Mine has been problem free and I've put 12k miles on mine so far. Compared to a brand new G2 tri-motor, these Gen 1 quad demos are a bargain, IMO. Mine even qualified for the $3,750 federal tax incentive. I rented a car to make...
  9. 2025.14 Software Update is Released

    Mine downloaded around 7pm yesterday evening. Have not driven it yet, though. I agree with everyone above hoping that UI lag improves...
  10. The R1T tailgate trim is not robust enough IMO

    I agree! Mine is a year old and this part is scratched and gouged like a 10+ year old truck just from sliding garbage cans and light-duty building materials in/out. I believe I could pull it off the tailgate with two fingers if I wanted to, so I've been trying to baby it for fear of pulling...
  11. Current Travel Trailers / RVs you're towing - Reviews and Recommendations!

    I use an Equilizer WDH (10k lbs). It's fairly easy to set up and quick to connect/reconnect. https://www.equalizerhitch.com/products/equal-i-zer-hitch/ I swapped out the two OEM lead acid size-24 battery boxes on the tongue of my trailer with one big box to fit my larger 230ah LiTime battery...
  12. Current Travel Trailers / RVs you're towing - Reviews and Recommendations!

    I was on the fence between the Grand Design 2400BH and the Jayco 24BH when I purchased mine in late 2020. I ended up going with the Jayco, but the floor plans are nearly identical. Weight was similar IIRC. My post on the first page...
  13. Rivian Home Charger or Tesla universal?

    I bought a used ("new in box") Rivian charger and always get 11.3kw speeds. The Rivian chargers can be had for $400-$600, often never installed. The Tesla Universal chargers are cool, though. It would be nice to have the quick adapter while the industry is transitioning to NACs.
  14. What did you do TO / WITH your Rivian today? 🧰

    Hauled 8 bags of mulch and 2 bags of dirt to re-do a flower bed.
  15. 2025.10 Update Now Installing

    Loving the suspension feel after this update! Definitely noticeable.
  16. RJ shows R2 in e-coat!

    This is an R3 picture from Rivian's website (shown after the unveiling) that shows a NACs cord/NACs charge port. It sounds like the charge port location has changed, but I'm sure they're keeping NACs:
  17. Q1 2025 Rivian Production & Delivery Figures: 14,611 Produced / 8,640 Delivered

    There's always two ways of looking at things, I guess: As usual, the market takes a "glass half empty" approach. Even though Rivian and others only predicted 8k deliveries this quarter...
  18. Current Travel Trailers / RVs you're towing - Reviews and Recommendations!

    We have a 2021 Jayco Jayfeather 24BH. 6,300lbs dry, probably around 7k lbs loaded with food/drinks/stuff. Jayco 24BH Link: https://www.jayco.com/rvs/travel-trailers/2025-jay-feather/24bh/ The bunk beds are great for our two teenage kids. Big awning (21') is one of our favorite...
  19. New Rivian dispensers and non competitive pricing

    Of the ~8 different fast charging sites between Knoxville and Nashville (a trip I make about once a month), the RAN station is $0.13 higher per kwh than the next highest charging station. It's definately not a busy station by any means. When I've charged there in the past, I'm usually the only...
  20. Rivian Wall Charger J1772 cable replacement guide

    I wonder if Rivian will eventually offer a NACs cord replacement. I could see that being beneficial in the future as more and more vehicles move to the new standard. It beats an adapter on your cord everytime. I'd rather just swap the whole cord (or cord end) out if all my vehicles had NACs...
