  1. Most memorable moment with your Rivian in 2024?

    Getting it back from the body shop 3 months after someone backing out of a parking spot scraped down 2 doors and the rear fender was memorable... but having someone clip the front corner 4 weeks later while it was parked was even more so. At least I keep looking forward to getting it back from...
  2. Driving on soft sand / beach with Dual Motor?

    I'm a ranger on a refuge with 18 miles of sand trails and spend much of my shift pulling people out of the sand. If you don't have tow hooks at least have a trailer hitch, preferably with a shackle. As for the high pressure tires, we kick people off the beach who aren't aired down because they...
  3. Driving on soft sand / beach with Dual Motor?

    I would turn regen and stability off. I think sand mode may add some dampening to the accelerator but I'm not sure if I actually felt a difference.
  4. Winch attached to R1T trailer hitch

    When you see the size of the cables for a hardwired 12V winch you will no longer be guessing!
  5. Rivian vs deer. Repair cost?

    I hear you about your NACS adapter. My Connect+ free trial started the day I dropped mine at the shop and ended before I got it back.
  6. Efficiency Questions M/KWH

    Yes, how it's driven. My performance dual motor large pack R1T.
  7. Rivian NACS Adapters begin arriving!

    Should be in your hands in about 2 weeks based on my recent experience.
  8. Rivian vs deer. Repair cost?

    If they put it in Service Mode you'll lose Gary anyway. When mine went to Rivian for an alignment it was put in Service Mode and left that way until I picked it up. I hated it being out of contact!
  9. Rivian vs deer. Repair cost?

    I put mine at 100% but I fully expected at least 6-8 weeks. They'll watch it and charge it if needed because they don't want more work. I dropped the charge level to my usual 80% before leaving the truck and they had charged it to 80% when I picked it up.
  10. Rivian vs deer. Repair cost?

    Just keep on top of this. I took mine to a great local shop. When they got the original estimate check from the insurance company they went to order parts and could not. Weeks were wasted until they called and told me it had to go to a Rivian certified shop.
  11. Rivian vs deer. Repair cost?

    Agreed. As far as I know Volvo is the only one releasing vehicles with a Large Animal Detection and Braking feature.
  12. Phone as key broken. iPhone 16 pro max.

    I've been through this. Call customer support and they will walk you through the procedure. You have most of it, but as I recall it includes using the Owner phone to remove the secondary one on both the vehicle and the app. A reboot of the infotainment system, then re adding the phone. I also...
  13. Third party repair shop "partner portal"

    There are a handful in the area around Boston. I had to travel 2 1/2 hours to one, but 2 of those hours were on the ferry. I pick it back up this week.
  14. Volvo EX30... larger than expected... will it be available in the USA before the R2?

    2025 and we love it. They did a nice job with it. 42 miles per charge from our solar powered Rivan charger, and now I don't have to worry about getting a text to find a place to charge when my wife on the road. Since there is little $$$ benefit to electricity vs gas when traveling, it was a no...
  15. Volvo EX30... larger than expected... will it be available in the USA before the R2?

    Due to issues with my car we couldn't wait for the R2 so we cancelled our reservation and bought the XC60 plug-in hybrid for my wife. She plugs it in every 3 days for driving around the island and doesn't have to worry about charging on the road when she takes trips. The best parts is I got...
  16. Anyone have experience with the Rivian Certified Body Shops South of Boston?

    Interesting as my R1T is all put back together but they can't seem to get the recalibration to work. They're going to try again Monday and then have the Chelsea Mobile Service come out. 9 weeks and counting.
  17. Third party repair shop "partner portal"

    I got the impression while dealing with a Rivian certified body shop that they had access to a back door for parts and assistance. They still had to send it to sman SC for an insurance ordered alignment, but they did everything else including recalibration.
  18. Connect+ Charged = No Internet This Morning - How to Fix?

    Got this email too. I missed the 60 day trial completely since my R1T is still waiting to get out out of the body shop. I'll sign up when I get it back, probably by Nov 1. :crying:
  19. How do I record video when needed.

    Cute. I must be losing my ability to search electronic documents. I looked for USB, video, capture, and under Gear Guard in the "book". Must have missed it. Luckily there are still helpful folks in the world.
  20. How do I record video when needed.

    Thanks. Does the recorded footage roll over on the stick or do I have to be conscious of it or put in a terra byte drive?
