I asked about the noise when my tonneau was getting replaced. Service said it was gear whine and would get a little worse as I get more miles (currently at 56,000).

Mine is still pretty frustrating. Very inconsistent. Inevitably works great when it is sunny and I'm not carrying anything?.

They will do it on any vehicle. It is free if you bought the tires there.

Glad to see others are joining the chorus about Central Illinois charging. I frequent (when I dcfc) that Walmart charger. Once a tech was there fixing it and he said it is due for an upgrade, and it is one of the most heavily used EA sites in the Midwest. According to several Rivian employees...

I have no idea what the range on 21s would be in my use case. They officially are not an ev tire because of the weight rating, but they are the same rubber and design as their ev tire. Michelin rep was in Costco when I bought them and confirmed. My efficiency for the last 25,000 miles was 2.36 a...

Agree 100 percent with this statement. Not sure many would care about the loss of range if you could pull in anywhere every 5 miles, have the charger available, have the charger work and be able to charge in 15 minutes. The other thing to note (at least on 20s) is the tires. I'm getting almost...

I have 55,000 miles on my QM and have used conserve extensively. I've never touched 352 miles of range. I don't think I've ever really gone over 300. My lifetime efficiency is 2.27. I'm not sure why, but QM owners love to say Rivian couldn't have improved on the Bosch motor. My guess would be...

If Rivian sinks it will be because they can't get a handle on build quality. I haven't asked lately (a couple of white collar employees live nearby), but I know they did have a 60 percent return within 30 days rate. Industry norm is single digits. I love my truck, but 9 trips to service center...

54,972 miles in 18 months. Trying to decide whether to keep it or trade. Just got the tonneau fixed/usable for the first time.

Apologize if my post came off as rude. I didn't intend it to be. I live in a charging desert so understand your concerns. Rivian won't put a RAN location near Normal, IL which leaves a very high relative EV population at the intersection of two major interstates with 4 marginal EA chargers at...

Is this your first EV? None of them charge quickly above 80 percent. Ideally you charge to 70-80 percent and go to the next charger. That being said Rivian's charge curve is not exactly great, but if you stay above 80 percent all you are doing is slowing yourself down and also preventing...

What is the outside temp? If it is cold and you can.....charge the battery 30 mins before you take off. Will warm it up and help your efficiency/range. I'm on after market 20s, quad in Illinois (AP mode) and getting 1.9 in the cold weather. Something wrong with your situation.

I agree Rivian QC stinks, but they are not alone. I detailed my MB 450e phev experience elsewhere so won't repeat except to say we traded it with only 4800 miles because we were sick of it (both MB and the dealer). I have no complaints with the Normal service center except I see them to often (9...

IMO, range isn't the issue. They almost all go far enough (although the winter issue can be bad in a Rivian). The issue is recharge speed, and availability & location of working chargers. With red state political inertia and just trying to deal with 3,000 electrical suppliers and 50 different...

In July they offered me $61,000. Had 44,000 miles. 2022 on 20s. It is a 3rd party buying the vehicles (at least in Normal) not Rivian.

I have found setting the overnight charge yo end at 7am (when I leave) helps immensely. Obviously more of a PIA than just plug and go inside, but you know approximately how much power you need to reach the desired state of charge and how much you get per hr. Just set the vehicle to finish 30...

Mine acts up about every 3 months. Reset breaker and it is fine. It disconnects wifi more often, but still charges so I don't rush to fix.

Both got pretty good efficiency at 70mph on cold weather. My quad with Michelin 20s won't get 2.0 mi/kwh in that outside temp (in conserve).

I took it that this is the point of the video. If the "energy density" of max pack is better you should see better efficiency, but they didn't. And actual charge curve was a little better on large pack. Especially disappointing to me because if max pack is larger shouldn't you charge faster...

Then it isn't a planetary emergency. ?‍♂️ According to Warren Buffett at the BW annual meeting last summer the total tax credits issued to the S & P 500 now exceeds the TOTAL tax paid be individuals. So cry me a river over business subsidies. And, according to Martin on the Batteries Not...
