I agree with all comments. I would add don’t prepay for your hotel stops. Be flexible as things may change from your plans. Such as longer charging times. Look at video on how to use the App “A BetterRoute Planner” check out the threads on road trips on the forum. Any problems that come up...
Get all the apps you’ll need on your phone. Highly re
Make sure you get all the charger apps on your phone and get familiar with them. ABRP (a better route planner) is the best for travel plan.Ning. There’s a good YouTube video on how best to use it by a woman who is part of the ABRP company...
Just got our charge port repaired for our Aug 2023 delivery R1S. Our charge port wouldn’t close automatically on button push. We had to push the button then apply pressure on the actuating arm to close. Had a quick repair by Kyle at the Cincinnati SC. The problem was the C clip wasn’t seating...
I agree. I found I was holding it too long. A brief tap does it. I also get good results it’ll I do short double taps. And yes, there is a delay so patience is rewarded on this feature. I use it all the time now that I got the rhythm!
We used my daughter’s address when it became apparent that we would never get our R1S out here in the Black Hills of SD. We immediately got on the Shop list and found our configuration. Our grandkids are a big draw and we are often visiting. So far we have been successful at getting SC...
Excellent! Amazing they use off the shelf parts in the system. Love that they have a filter for the fluids as a safety feature for the system where other vehicles don’t. Thanks for posting.
We got our plates at 4 weeks. Picked up in Cleveland OH on Aug 24 and drove home to Black Hills SD. Sept 28 plates arrived in mail. Still waiting on Title. I was skeptical that Rivian would get this right and very much just wanted to do myself. But, it went very smoothly.
I've got a new tips after our 4,800 mile road trip starting at home in Black Hills of SD to Coco Beach Florida to Savannah GA to Cinci OH to Nashville TN and back home to SD. (I use all the tips mentioned in the original thread too.)
My biggest flaw was the tendency to get greedy on racking up...
I filed my amendment on electronically on Aug 28 2023 (took delivery on Aug 24). IRS website said it was received on Aug 29, then it said it was processed on Sept 22. I got the check in the mail on Oct 6 2023. The IRS website seemed to work well for me...
Excellent addition to include going to actual charging apps to verify availability. I’ve decided to label my process of road trips with the R1S (or any EV) as requiring “driving with intent!” And I’ve yet to find and use a hotel charger!!!
I agree with your approach! Very good advice! Also I have the same complaint about Rivian NAV. I hope I can see how do get it to take my plan “as is” and not just destinations. Till then it’s one step at a time with planned charging stops.
Amen Brothers and Sisters! For various reasons we have road tripped 6,600 miles since picking our R1S on August 24, 2023. A joy to drive but charging at these stations adds a level of unpredictability that is frustrating! Thank goodness for PlugShare reviews to get heads up. Also friendly...
Background: We live in Black Hills SD. Got our R1S Aug 24 2023 in Cleveland OH through Shop. Placed our order in Feb 2022 at pre March pricing. Used our daughter’s address in Cincinnati. Drove back to SD after pick up. Then another long road trip to Florida and back to Cincinnati. Now have...
