I bought this for the trip from picking up my Rivian in Ohio and driving it back to Florida. Literally used a 10-12 times and has always worked flawlessly the first time, I have the receipt and it was purchased direct from Lechton so it's guaranteed to be the genuine item. I have traded in my...
I'm surprised they never added a glove box or at least a recessed cubby hole in the dash. There is plenty of space behind the dash to do it and it would be minimal cost. Or maybe offer a glove box option to amortize the cost? Right now I am using one of my wife's large hair bungees on my visor...
As a former victim of identity theft, it's been enabled on my account since inception. With all the current crap going on with identity theft it's better to be proactive then reactive... Once you've been compromised you know what a pain in the ass it can be to get all your stuff fixed, not to...
How big is your battery? Did you do that in the Rivian? I know Silverado's have a 200KWH battery, but the max pack is only 140KWH. Theoretically if you hit the charger driving a Rivian at 0% and charged up to 100% at .37KWH X 140(max pack) it would be $51.80 unless I'm missing something? Trying...
Service is the breaking point for me….. Love the truck but selling it before the warranty is up. From what I have read, I was fortunate to only have my truck at the service center for only 23 days before getting it back. They are too nonchalant about service times, regardless if they provide a...
With the membership it hovers at around .33-.38 per KWH, BUT that can vary... I charged in Chantilly VA last week and it was .22 KWH, then on my way back to Florida I hit a Tesla charger in Reston VA for .26 KWH, Benson NC for .39, Florence SC .38 and then used Rivian the rest since I had a...
Hopefully google cast doesn’t break a bunch of other stuff which is working now. I wonder if they factored extra processing power to these vehicles at inception or if the infotainment will become slower down the road with more tasks to perform added to the workload. I am guessing more...
They will be great as long as they stay out of the salt water & they keep the younger lifeguards hands off of them! I can see them being a blast racing down the empty beaches…..
Taking my first road trip in cold weather, hope the cold doesn’t make me lose too much! Going to set my arrival SOC a little higher just in case…. Just a note, driving 65 on the highway with cruise control on I do see the EPA numbers for the most part.
I had a similar experience with mobile service. Ordered an additional FOB & card, they billed like 30 minutes for each which he actually spent 90 seconds total programing both. He asked if there were any additional concerns and took a test drive with me for 5 minutes and did not bill for any...
Someone posted how to use the shortcuts app and setup an automatic connection to our Rivian….. it’s simply genius and seamless, and all the screen apps work just no 3D maps. 0 regrets about not paying for connect+, sure the live cam is cool but not worth the price to me personally.
That is certainly a unique design and if not they do not get a patent for the mounting point it will enable other companies to go from there. I was looking for the weight, my old ranch hand was almost 175lbs and I’m guessing that one is made out of Chineseium and weights like 30lbs which would...
Thank you for posting this, I will now make sure I have a few extra items in my tool kit to address this down the road. I am surprised there is no lock tight or something similar but then again my HD rams wheel bearings required 250 ft. lbs. as the torque spec. Rivian is doing an excellent job...
I'm with you on long term reliability. This truck is awesome but after it being tied up in service for over 3 weeks at this point, I truly fear how much the repairs will be down the road. Especially, since there are not many 3rd party vendors making replacement parts, no manuals for DIY repairs...
