  1. DCFC Stops After 4 min.

    I’ve been on a family road trip the last few weeks. As a result I have been using DC fast chargers more than usual. 3 out of my last 5 DCFC sessions have stopped after about 4 min. No errors on the charger or the vehicle. It just acts as if charging has finished, when in fact it is still well...
  2. Bags for Interrobang or DIY covers

    Brilliant! If only the black bag came with yellow lettering. ? But, my 2nd choice would be the woodland floral. I bought a ski bag and boot backpack in this pattern thinking my kids would like it. They didn't. Foolish of me to try and predict the fashion sense of teenage girls. So now I have a...
  3. DIY temporary tonneau / bed cover?

    I made a more concerted effort and was able to bend the metal outwards using a painters 5-in-1 tool and glazing tool. Basically, a pair of rigid putty knives. Now it fits more snugly in the gap of the last panel.
  4. DIY temporary tonneau / bed cover?

    Yep, that's the stuff. I made a halfhearted effort to bend the metal outwards but found that it is pretty stiff. Maybe I just need to try harder. ?
  5. DIY temporary tonneau / bed cover?

    I used my 14” chop saw with an aluminum cutting blade to cut down each panel to the correct length. For the one panel at the cab that needs to be ripped lengthwise I used an aluminum cutting blade in my 7-1/4” circular saw. Doing it freehand with the circular saw was a bit tricky but I just...
  6. DIY temporary tonneau / bed cover?

    Shout out to @Bf3 for sharing his ingenious solution here and for manufacturing the UHMW slides that looked like they would be really tedious for me to shape by hand. Honorable mention to @Phatman113 for sharing details of his build with links to all the materials. I have had the materials for...
  7. Official Spotlight: Latest App & Software Updated w/ Enhanced Trip Planning Powered by ABRP (Updated w/ Screenshots)

    <dumb_question> Where is the app does it list the version number? I can only seem to find it displayed in the app store. </dumb_question>
  8. Rivian's van strategy is flawed says Ford CEO Jim Farley

    Sounds like an experienced CEO throwing shade at the upstart and deflecting attention from their own problems. Farley has to do all he can to cut down Rivian before it generates enough momentum to become a serious threat.
  9. Rivian Service Experience at San Francisco Service Center

    I had an appointment next week for tire rotation at SSF. Scheduling was pretty easy. But today I got a call from a rep who explained that most repairs are taking 1-2 week but they could probably get the tire rotation done in a day or two. I just laughed and asked them to cancel the appointment...
  10. Decision Time Tidal or Spotify?

    In the minority here with a vote for Amazon Music. Admittedly that it just because I already committed to a family plan so that my wife and two daughters can stream whatever they want from Amazon Echo devices at home. Might need to take a closer look at tidal though…
  11. Rivian Adventure Network: What's been your experience so far?

    Sacramento and Truckee have worked great for me. Several times I have found that one of the chargers is out of order. Never more than one and there have always been working chargers available.
  12. Current Rivian owners - What’s one change that would make you happier?

    Cheating just a bit with a 2nd entry, in a separate post. I would like to have a rear bumper that I could stand on. It never occurred to me that the R1T bumper would not be designed to accommodate this. Yes, I know the gear tunnel doors work as steps. It is just so much more convenient to...
  13. Current Rivian owners - What’s one change that would make you happier?

    An extra 6-12" of length in the R1T bed. (Looks like I might be the only one asking for this.) The 4.5" bed has been a bigger adjustment than I anticipated coming from a full size Silverado with a 6.5' bed. Given that the R1T is 6" longer than a Ford Ranger and 5" longer than a Toyota Tacoma it...
  14. Post Your Interesting or Funny Conversations with Friends/Strangers about your Rivian ...

    Priceless. :CWL: Thank for making my day. I've had plenty of "who makes it" questions and confused looks while I persist in trying to convince people that Rivian is an automobile manufacturer. None as confounding as what @junkanoo described and none that insisted on labeling it as foreign like...
  15. Will R1T fit ski length 193cm (6' 4") without a ski rack?

    +1 for the "probably not" answer. My everyday-use 185 Nordica Enforcers fit diagonally. My powder day 190 Moment's have enough rocker and tip/tail splay that they fit but only when separated, not if they are stacked base-to-base.
  16. Amazon music not working after software update

    Looks like a fix is on the way: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/new-update-version-2023-18-00-internal-beta-scheduled-charging-in-the-rivian-mobile-app-driver-improvements-usability-improvements-and-more.15251/
