  1. Using a 48a Tesla wall connector to charge an R1T

    Thanks for this. Unfortunately, I don’t have Wi-Fi yet at this location so have not connected to the Tesla connectors so maybe that is the issue although I am confused because if the initial successful charge of the R1T.
  2. Using a 48a Tesla wall connector to charge an R1T

    I have two Tesla Gen3 wall connectors currently on two separate 50a circuits (would like to go to 60a in time possibly). It’s early days, but I am experiencing mixed results with charging the R1T with the Lectron 48a adapter. Initially, the R1T charged at about 15miles/hr without issue (over...
  3. Steering Wheel Shake at Highway Speeds

    I’m one of the early owners who had head-shake from the very beginning and they brought the truck to the Denver service center and did a wheel re-balancing. It did help quite a bit, but has not been the complete solution so interesting to hear what you passed on. I have also noticed that road...
  4. Charging before Wall Charger Delivered

    I have been starting to experiment with a couple of different charging set-ups as I get close to moving into a house and actually have access to electricity to charge vs where I have been living. First charged the R1T on a 240v 50a circuit direct to a 14-50 plug. Got 8kWh and maybe a 12 -...
  5. Any tests done on Vampire battery drain?

    Yes, I’d say it was about 4 kWh/day and I was shocked, but I’ve seen much less drain day to day in normal use so I’m a bit unsure of what to expect which is an issue in itself. I went through this with our Model S as well, and it definitely improved over time as I’m sure the R1T will, but it...
  6. Any tests done on Vampire battery drain?

    Yes, agreed on this. I had not used it (ac plugs) much and never left it on overnight before but the the week it sat, there was nothing engaged that should have increased drain. I’m just a little surprised because I had thought drain had been improving and expected it to be a little better with...
  7. Any tests done on Vampire battery drain?

    I think the drain is no better, and possibly worse, since the last update. The R1T sat recently while I was away for a week - nothing turned on and lost about 8-9 miles/day. Last night, with the AC plugs ā€˜on’ but nothing plugged into them, 12 miles lost. Sorry this is in miles, but these numbers...
  8. MTB Tailgate Pad

    Thanks for this. This would be a simpler on and off that the full Dakine tailgate pad I have been using and I'm also a single bike hauler.
  9. 1up rack fitment on bed crossbars

    I really like the 1UP option, but have been happy in the meantime with this fix. No 4x4 rock crawling but very stable so far.
  10. Colorado Checking In

    I’m in the same boat as you. Haven’t received an answer on timing and will expire in a week. Believe there is a grace period of 30 days after expiration…
  11. Colorado Checking In

    Yes, Xcel has a good program. Unfortunately for me, I'm on a rural co-op here in Colorado that hasn't seen the EV "light" yet.
  12. Any tests done on Vampire battery drain?

    My experience with my Model S has been that vampire drain was just as bad in 2017 when I got it as the R1T is now. There were just as many threads moaning over 'vampire drain' back then. The good news is that it got significantly better over time via Tesla OTAs - let's count on Rivian making the...
  13. PPF Affordable DIY from TWRAPS

    The first thing I did was the window tint as I found the amount of sun and heat in the cab to need that protection. I have gone back and forth on PPF and mostly over the years, against doing it but based on the flat front of the R1T ended up having just the nose and a few key areas that would be...
  14. 2022.19.03 Software Update Released! -- Preconditioning, 12v Battery Drain Fix, Soft Sand Mode + More

    The airbag warning has got to be a liability thing. Throwing that up with the new update just gives them a chance to warn everyone until it gets fixed. I got the letter but no rush to get it fixed for me.
  15. Issues for Service: Anyone Have Luck Fixing These?

    6) Wind noise on right triangle window: Okay I wasn't previously having this issue, but I think I am now haha. It may be weather stripping which I noticed, but I also heard that people were having issues with the small triangular windows on the passenger and driver side doors. How was this...
  16. Testing the Rivian as a ‘backup’ power source

    ? good question… I’m thinking not but next test. At 100lbs, it’ll need that slide ?
  17. Test drive impressions from Tesla owner

    Oh, painful question… but I’m going to say that in my particular case, I would get rid of the Model S (which we are) but only because out here in Colorado I want a high clearance, snow eating machine that can haul motorcycles and be taken off road for camping. The Tesla is the more refined EV...
  18. Test drive impressions from Tesla owner

    I have had the pleasure of owning a Model S for roughly 5 years now and the R1T for maybe two months and 2k miles. The S is quick. You feel like you are in a sports coupe immediately. 5 years later, I still marvel at how well it responds and handles in day to day driving. In comparison, the...
  19. Testing the Rivian as a ‘backup’ power source

    FYI - I have now plugged the Ecoflow Delta Pro into the R1T’s 120v outlet and, as expected, it charges the DP without issue.
