  1. Tips & tricks for using the Rivian app for trip planning?

    That is the exact same way Ive always planned and executed my trips. Even the wife part lol. I also use the Tesla app. When on a sole trip I will use Driver+ then check on my phone or iPad, in place of the wife.
  2. Finally - A pull through charger

    Thought I would share the trailer pull I did last year. Truck does look small here.
  3. Do tesla superchargers derate in winter?

    Just made the round trip IL to MI. Snow, wind, and cold. Used Tesla and RAN chargers. Did not have any trouble or derating with them. Did notice the R1T "conditioned" the battery after the charge was complete. Thought it was odd but it happened every time for about 15 min after completed charge...
  4. Anyone Black Out Front Skid Plate?

    No, nothing yet. I have not had the time. At the time I purchased the DYC paint I was planing on blacking out my badging too. Since then Ive gotten blacked out badging online and will remove the OEM and replace with he black out. I will post when completed.
  5. Today I F***ed Up - Range Cockiness

    I've done the Springfield EA before. (pre-adapter) It is typical EA. Only half work and those that do are throttled down. We purchased an adapter when the announcement went out on the ford/rivian access to Tesla. Used it on a few trips. The adapter is a game changer on trips. Then received our...
  6. O.K. Maybe I was showboating a little!

    I enjoy seeing the asshats in the challengers who thought they are all that until I launch the R1T. The look on their face after being smoked by a truck is great.
  7. Anyone Black Out Front Skid Plate?

    I went a different route. DYC. I haven't used it yet and don't have any pictures. This would be an easy and changeable solution as well. https://www.dipyourcar.com/?srsltid=AfmBOopmjYBeCLQhpOjCqmTU2aILW3NuWzJVXpLRLQLTWK5ZFshYvSXk
  8. EA days are numbered for me

    My experience with EA is the same. New tall 350KW with only one cable work well. Old are junk. Nothing but a pain in the a**. Trouble is you never know which you will get if it's your first time stopping at the site. Typical to find 4 chargers, 2 are down, those that are working are running at...

  10. Lectron Vortex Plug FAIL

    The first Lectron adapter I had was the bad latch unit. I still used it on a trip I had to take. Just had to careful when removing. Worked fine no issues. They did replace with the corrected unit. Tested this one on both my Mach-e GTPE and my Rivian. Both worked fine. I received my Rivian...
  11. Rivian isn't visible enough in the Midwest

    I see them all the time. But then I'm in Bloomington / Normal. However, It is probably more about the populous of the area. On trips to SC I've seen a few and passed a new R1S on the trip back on the hwy in IN. Outer banks, has them, Michigan I see them all the time as well. They are out there...
  12. Wtf is this? Found it hanging on suspension

    Interesting. I thought I was the only one that had that happen. I recently had my tires rotated, discount tire, and they came out and showed me the same type hanger. Going back over the assembly process at Rivian I can't think of any place that would be used. As others have already said, it is a...

  14. Electrify America station Richmond VA offline after R1S fire.

    I avoid EA whenever possible. They have the worst upkeep on their stations. When I did use them, before Tesla opening up, It was always a roll of the dice when pulling in. How many were working, what KW would I get, are the connectors good, etc. It was common it plug in and see 40 kw and a...
  15. Floor Jack Capacity, is 2.5T enough?

    Or you could just take it to a Discount tire location. They are approved by Rivian and it is free.
  16. Rivian knows when you use an aftermarket NACS adapter?

    No Rivian does not know what adapter you are using. I made a trip using a Lectron Adapter with the bad locking latch. Thet where in the process of sending a new one that had not arrived at the time of my trip. I used Tesla all the way from ILL to NC. Worked great by the way. SO nice to plug in...
