I would not have accepted that Edge. When I needed a loaner rental, they tried to give me Forerunner. I told enterprise it was unacceptable and I needed something bigger. Granted we were in the middle of a camping trip and had a lot of gear. And actually, the wagoneer was still too small.

It depends on the level of risk you’re willing to tolerate. I’m sure many people will tell you, no problem, screw it into the bottom of your floor joists i didn’t trust fastening to just the joists when installed only one electric hoist to lift this wooden sled I created to slide my RTT onto my...

Hi, we’ll be visiting a private campground that has a new 50-amp outlet for people with RVs to hookup. I would assume this is a 220V circuit. We want to use it to charge/power the R1S. We aren’t having any luck getting the owner to send a photo or describe the type of outlet in more detail. As...

I see now that this post was dated? Did you figure it out?

Check under back of the car after it’s been parked. Anything leaking from underneath?

I’ve never missed Carplay when driving my Tesla, but that’s because the Tesla UI user experience is better in the sense that everything is fully integrated, rather than the Apple iOS hijacking the screen. Also, in the Tesla I am using autopilot or FSD for Nav. I’ll tell you what though, using...

very nice! We will be doing the same thing in 3 weeks. Did the AC work well enough to cool the tent? What was the temperature outside?

oh, one more question. Do you feel like the Rivian Nav is accurately calculating range based on your actual efficiency? For example, your bed top tent is going to create some drag on efficiency.

‘thanks for the info! I’m just getting caught up on comments. as a coincidence I just saw the same method illustrated by Gjeebs on YouTube. I’m kind of embarrassed I did not know about this. I was using the ABRP app on my iPhone to plan the overall router the Rivian Nav to hop from Charger to...

we took your route on the way back from Washington to Chicago. Unfortunately it was in a gas rental car so I cannot comment on the charging experience. Rivian broke down in Montana.

The issue is that the LOCK button does not slide all the way down into the lock position to lock the adapter onto the TESLA NACS plug. I had this issue. My solution was to try to lock the adapture on 5 different supercharger plugs, then return to the one I wanted to charge at. It worked. The...

Here is the update now that the trip is over. I used ABRP to plan the route extensively. I received the Tesla adapter prior to the trip, so I was able to set the charger type filter to NACS so that ABRP would only build NACS stops into the route. I was carrying a roof top tent plus cargo box on...

Not sure your origin & destination. I was able to take I-94 from Chicago to Washington state. I did not think that I-90 was a favorable option because I really wanted to stick with the Tesla network. I-90 seemed very sketchy during the route planning. Once 90 and 94 merge in Billings, there is...

Update of update: I just received a copy of the work order. This is the exact description of the problem “critical failure of the right rear drive unit disconnect.” This makes sense because while operating the vehicle in conserve mode after the incident, I noticed that the front drives would be...

Here is an update. The vehicle left Spokane, WA on a flatbed on Friday and arrived at the Rivian service center on Monday afternoon. I received a call from Rivian on Wednesday. The advisor informed me that a rear motor had an internal failure that caused a part to eject from the motor housing at...

I was told minimum clearance for the lifts in their garage.

I fully agree with you and I do not expect RIVIAN to uninstall my complicated to install my third-party roof top tent. I do not mind driving from the Chicago area down to Normal to uninstall the rack, if in fact this is REALLY necessary. I had asked my service advisor if I could just have a...

My service advisor told me that the vehicle lifts in the garage have u-shaped bars overhead. I imagine it is to provide structural rigidity to the lift platform. I am sure at some point in the past, someone had a very tall item on top of their Rivian that was damaged and there was a law suit...

This is a Quad. The episode happened before I had even made my second lease payment (less than 2 months since delivery). Happened before it hit 3,000 miles.

If your garage door opening is tall enough, then you’re golden. Mine was not, so I had to mount an electric hoist at the garage door opening and built a sled from 2x4’s. The tent is placed sideways on the sled, then one end is hooked onto the roof rack. The other end is connected to the electric...
