  1. Gear Guard streaming coming Q3 2024

    I love my R1S but no odometer, trip gauge, CarPlay, or AM radio like I have in my Kia EV6 GT-L at 2/3rds the price. Technology innovation my .....
  2. Two Blues

    The Amazon Rivian pulled up and I noticed the Amazon arrow was a similar blue to the Rivian Blue. (The driver loved the delivery van and wished he could buy one.)
  3. Rough day for my R1S... source: house fire, not vehicle

    Excellent point. I once lost an air monitoring station due to an office next door with faulty wiring. The Fire Chief wrote up an a forensic report which saved a great deal of insurance time.
  4. Photos of R3X at Electrify Expo Today! ?⚡

    Striking interior. The compass on the driver screen is fantastic - but they just won't give us an odometer for some reason.
  5. Rough day for my R1S... source: house fire, not vehicle

    My deepest sympathies for your loss - especially your pet. Everything else can be replaced. And a reminder to everyone. Backup your computer files to an external drive every few months and store it offsite. I've seen "cloud" files get lost.
  6. Navigation map question: yellow icon = potential RAN sites?

    I am aware of these designations... I noticed on the Rivian maps there is little yellow icon on certain cities that disappear when you zoom in. Does anyone know if these are potential RAN sites?
  7. "Exit truck and stay away..." DCFC battery alert

    Considering the "really big" frunk, I'm waiting for an upgade (or well done hack) for a regular sized 12 volt battery. This first cousin to motorcycle battery is a joke.
  8. 20" Inch Michelin Defender LTX Platinum tires review update!

    Great choice! I have the first version on my Kia EV6 GT-L. 20K miles now after I dumped the original OEM suckie tires. Minimal wear. Great performance. Very quite and smooth. No noticeable range change. Number one rated with Tire Rack. The LTX is essentially a "truck" tire so it...
  9. Deer hit the front end... repair cost?

    The bar configuration is probably overkill but I noticed the hitch receiver for a winch!
  10. Tesla V3, V4 Superchargers and RAN Stations Map (kml for Google Earth)

    I just got back from Yellowstone NP. As per your map, the park is a wildlife preserve on top of a volcano and a DC charging desert! Except for some very unused V2 stations in West Yellowstone. If Elon can send a roadster to Pluto, I would think he could configure an adapter for V2.
  11. Aurora Rivian photos - post yours!

    Fantastic shots! This was mine in Denali several years ago with ICE. Maybe when Rivian expands RAN?
  12. Cinematographers Road Trip From New York to Maine in a Dual-Motor R1T | Rivian Feature Video

    Professional production. They should be acknowledged at a higher level.
  13. Entire Tesla Supercharger team fired (Update: Elon Musk says supercharger network growth will continue). ** ⚠️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS **

    My disappointment is with the dozens of Tesla V2 Superchargers that are not available through Nevada, Idaho, Wyoming.... A couple V3 in Burney, ID. You are still stuck with L2 scheduling for a Yellowstone trip.
  14. Rivian Brush Bar and Winch set up

    It would be an interesting addition. I've had a winch on a 1996 Discovery and a 2016 Overland diesel. Not absolutely necessary but it was good insurance a few occasions. My concern with the Rivian is that it would need a robust auxiliary 12 volt battery.
  15. Rivian Solar Charging

    These folks have a direct DC to L2 charger but it is not inexpensive.... https://enteligent.com/products/enteligent%E2%84%A2-tlcev-t1-trusted-charging-presale
  16. Las Vegas "City Limits" photos shoot!

    I'm a photographer and I am impressed by his control of the dynamic range. He knows what he is doing. The golden/blue hour shots are the most challenging.
  17. Guess it was my time - 12v is dead

    It looks like the early R1S had two 12 volt batteries and the newer ones have one 12 volt and some sort of super capacitor. The Rivian batteries look smaller - I don’t think Costco has an equivalent replacement. My Kia EV6 GT-L had a defective OEM 12 volt battery. (It seems to be an an issue...
  18. R1S TIP: Easy and safe method for 120v AC extension cord pass-thru outside vehicle

    Technically, the plug side is "indoors". If it doesn't get wet, I wouldn't worry about the socket side.
  19. Tesla V2 / V3 Supercharger question

    I’m looking forward to more charging options while traveling hither and yon. I was very excited when Elon opened the Tesla V3 network but was disappointed when I found that older V2 Superchargers were not accessible as of yet - such as in West Yellowstone which is a DC desert for non-Tesla. I...
