We did a 4 day trip this weekend too but to Boise ( similar distance). We used EA at Taco Bell on Thursday morning but had to wait 30 minutes before charging. Perhaps you saw us when you arrived. Charging was a mixed experience. Quiet at EA Kennewick. Busy at EA Island City. Quiet at EA Boise...

I see Rivians every day now and there are 3 in my son’s baseball team.

In my experience they can do better. I received diagnoses , expected repair times and updates in a timely fashion when I enquired via messaging from both Vancouver BC and Auburn (Bellevue offshoot). There is no way you should be in the dark.

For those holding out for NACS so you won’t need an adapter, I believe you will still need one, but from CCS to NACS. I expect it will take many years for non- Tesla charging stations to be fit with NACS. Do we even know Rivian’s plan for the Adventure Network? I am a maybe on Gen2. Perhaps if...

I do believe Tesla claimed that the S production was cash flow positive years before the company went profitable. This is similar to Rivian. Even if R1 becomes cash flow positive with Gen 2 the growth of the company will require more cash than revenue for the next few years.

Tesla reported 21,551 for S, X and CT for Q2. Compared to that similar market segment it looks a lot better.

Considering the age of my EVSE I decided to buy an Emporia. It’s 48A so now I’m getting over twice the charging rate as before. New charger, wires, and breaker so fingers crossed warm plugs are in my past now.

The RAN network is reliable and relatively cheap ($0.36 per kWh). I would prefer to keep paying if it means they build more (especially north, east and south of Seattle - ;-) @ RJ)

OP How does the “fuel” cost for this trip compare to your previous trucks?

But it happens in cold and temperate weather too

I have this issue with mine at 5kW and have seen many other people affected. It does appear to be a problem with the Gen 1 pins. No problem using my 10 year old EVSE with my Volt at 3kW. Has anyone had a warranty replacement of the charging socket on their vehicle?

I was previously dismissive of why Rivian was putting RANs at shopping malls in large cities. Last weekend I had to travel from Seattle to Portland with my son for a baseball tournament. The RAN is right off interstate 205 and it was so nice to get a charge after we arrived on the Friday and...

I agree with that statement. Where I live in Seattle there are almost as many Rivians as Subarus ;-) There are 3 in my son’s baseball team. We should request sponsorship from RJ. There really should be an SC in N Seattle, Shoreline or Lynnwood.

It appears there is a lot of inconsistency between SCs. My concern is I have had 2 major repairs in first 6 months of ownership and getting into a SC was at first was not going to be quick enough. I have not had urgent repairs on any of my other cars over the last 25 years. On both occasions...

To limit charging to a percentage of battery capacity swipe up from lower task bar to see charging settings icon (lightning bolt). You can drag the right end of the green section or single click on a preset level.

I’m not mad at all. I bought a R1S from a start up company at an early bird discount. They were never going to get everything right first time and they have already made lots of improvements. Before Tesla we all accepted that what you drove off the lot was what you would be driving going forward.

I am pretty sure those weights are wheel+ tire, not just wheel. See gear shop for data 86 lb for 20s 79 lb for 21s 83 lb for 22s

The issue has worsened for me lately. Has anyone any success stories to share on fixing this?

All depends how important the range is for you. I chose 20s because I wanted better winter performance from my OEM set and more options when they wear out. There is a rumor that the 21s will be discontinued with the refresh. 22s could be an option for you, but you will definitely need a winter...

Just adding my opinion to the excellent ones above. Ignore the stock price. Rivian has no incentive to do a retrofit program. Forget about that happening. If you want to reduce your risk to this startup then lease. Added benefit is the lease will definitely include $7500 tax credit.
