I live in Brooklyn and charge at the nearby FLO curbside chargers. It's $1/hr from 9pm - 6am, $2.50 otherwise, so I usually plug in overnight and walk over to get it in the am. I typically spend $9 - $15 to go from ~20 to ~80% (for a Gen 1 R1S). I also owned an EV for 2 years before getting a...

I've been investing in RIVN for the past 2.5 years, dollar cost averaging as I go. I, too, think that now is a great time. Sure, you can try to time it, but dollar cost averaging will almost always work out better. I plunked a large sum into it when I first bought and wish I dollar cost...

I went to the NYC space today to check out the R2. It’s mighty attractive. I recently picked up a used R1 with the assumption that we would switch to the R2 at some point over the next 2-3 years, but after owning an R1, the R2 is downright small by comparison. People are worried that the R2...

I can confirm that putting something between the battery and foam WORKS. I have two fobs and both were working intermittently at best. When I placed a piece of rubber band (more of less the same size as the foam) between the foam and battery, the key fob now works reliably. I'm not sure if...

Thanks for insights re: regen and start of charge!

Thanks for checking in! I haven't pulled the trigger yet. I had to hold off on account of my Gen 1 getting some service. When that's wrapped up, I'm pretty sure I'll trade it in.

Just the kind of insight I was hoping to get. Thank you!

Thank you, Tom! This is incredibly useful. I'm leaning pretty hard on getting it. Just seems like these are rare, charging to 100% without degradation is a great benefit, and the possibility of unlocking is significant. Agree on the charging curve! It's bizarre that the pack wouldn't follow...

True. They're both enduro motors. But there's two types: From here "There’s a silicon carbide power module for the front unit inverter but a less-expensive silicon power module for the rear inverter. Silicon carbide has an efficiency of more than 99% compared to about 98% efficiency with...

Thank you, R1Yes! That's super helpful to know. What kind of efficiency are you getting out of it? I ask because the Max pack has two Silicon Carbide motors on it - unlike the Standard and Large which have a Silicon Carbide in the front and a less efficient motor in the rear. So the Max...

Thanks for bringing this up, Megaman0025! It makes sense that the Large+ isn't a well-known thing. Here's piece about them from RivnTracker. In brief, early into the release of the Gen 2 vehicles Rivian wasn't able to produce the Large battery pack, so they decided to take Max pack (140 kWh)...

Calling all Large+ pack owners (which I believe is for the 2025 Dual motor vehicles only) - how has your experience been? I'm seriously considering a Large+ pack - I found one in inventory - and was wondering if the rumors are true. Can you charge to 100% (ie. 78% of the Max pack) without...

Weighing in. I've got a Sonos Move (first gen) and that speaker is excellent. World's better frequency separation, dynamics, and surround than the camp speaker. I wasn't expecting a lot from the camp speaker, but I am surprised by how much better the Sonos Move is. I can't speak to the Roam...

In good news, their sales were ahead of analyst expectations.

I'm guessing that they stocked up ahead of the tariffs. Companies have been preparing for these tariffs for months. Rivian is no different. I find it reassuring that they got ahead of them.
