Just got a neo charge to safely split my Nema 14-30 dryer outlet for home vehicle charger. I’m using a Tesla mobile charger with the Nema plug accessory. When I plug into my Model Y the Neocharge app confirms 24 amps of power drawn. When I plug in my Rivian via Tesla tap, the Neocharge app...

I don't tow very often, but towed a small U-Haul trailer back from San Diego to Denver over the weekend. I haven't kept up with the latest towing news, but I was able to use hands free ADAS and automatic lane changes on my 2025 R1S practically the entire drive - the only time automatic lane...

Thought I would just let folks know of 2 new Tesla chargers that came online in Utah in recent weeks. Neither are showing in ABRP yet, but they are in the Rivian app (so strange how we now have examples on both sides where one shows charging locations that the other doesn't) - Cedar City, UT...

Looking forward to trying out their new Fruita site on the San Diego to Colorado road trip this weekend!

Camp speaker delivered with my 2025 Dune. Only used to confirm it works. $150 + shipping - local San Diego pickup preferred before 8/29, Denver/Front Range preferred after 9/1.

These are brand new/unopened. Came with my Dune delivered May 2025 and I don't need them. $300/ plus shipping for both. Prefer local buyer in San Diego (delivery before 8/29) or Denver/Front Range area (delivery after 9/1).

Are others still having issues getting their lease accounts set up correctly with Chase? My lease started on May 21 and appeared in my Chase account at the beginning of June - all looked good. On June 6, Rivian reached out to me to sign a new lease urgently because the sales tax was...

Well with all the initial issues with my Dune R1S, I didn't get a chance to get the PPF and ceramic completed before driving from San Diego to Whistler (which has been successful - full trip report coming after the return trip), where I'll be until July. So I looked into having it done in...

Well, I completed the trade of my 2023 R1S towards the 2025 CA Dune Edition Wednesday in Phoenix (picked up out of CA since it's being registered in CO). The trade in process was easy and smooth. I was very pleased with the build quality (other than squeaky handles), and it drove solid (no...

Well Rivian suckered me in with the pricing and features on the Dune edition today. Getting $65,600 trade-in credit on my 2023 QM R1S with 33,000 miles that I paid $74k for (net of tax credits, early pricing, only $25k in positive equity). Going the lease route. The folks at the Rivian space...

Does Rivian still send updates over LTE? I don't have wifi access anywhere my vehicle goes, and the last few updates I've made an effort to connect from my phone hotspot. It's a complete pain, and I'm not in a hurry to get the latest update, but seems it may never come if I don't connect to wifi?

EDIT - Updated to include actual Tesla derating experience after looking at ABRP history. I guess I was sleeping through most of these and not paying super close attention. Derating was really only an issue in 90+ temps. Just finished my first towing experience with my 2023 Quad R1S. I...

I'm looking at towing a medium sized U-haul trailer from Denver to San Diego this July. Looks relatively easy to do - just lots of stops and possibly having to disconnect the trailer to charge. I am worried about the Green River to Salina stretch of I-70. I set efficiency to 1 mi/kwh and ABRP...

Well, I’m an idiot and tapped the rear quarter panel on my R1S against the charging handle in my garage. Pretty good sized dent. I got a pdr quote to fix it for $550. The place I got quoted looks relatively newer with 40 Google reviews but all 5 star. He’s never worked on a Rivian but has...

Kind of nuts, but I also don't completely understand why Ford is charging them $1m to onboard. It also seems like even the ones who are don't really want to. At some point the results become a self-fulfilling prophecy...

It sounds like CA regulators are leaning hard on EA to improve maintenance of sites, while the EPA is staying out of it as much as possible. I also appreciated the background on how we got here. I just got my R1S in August (my first EV), and I've had almost as many problems at EVGo sites as...

I’ve always liked the bar graph in the app that shows the charging speed over the session but found it frustrating you could only see the current speed. Maybe others already knew, but today I learned if you press and hold you can see the speed and timestamp for each bar. It made my day!

Made it from Wash Park (Denver) to Colby today (240 miles, R1S 20" AT's)! Perfect driving afternoon for December in eastern CO and KS - 50-60 degrees and no wind! I was ultimately headed to Lawrence, KS - but really pushed that first leg, since I didn't want to stop at the expensive Burlington...

I had a weird screen glitch happen while driving tonight. As I was slowing down at a light both the driver and center screen switched to daytime mode (in their normal clunky little way), which was odd (it was definitely still dark). Even stranger, was after going white the driver screen went...

Just wrapped up my first 3,000 mi road trip from Denver to Reno/Tahoe to Monterey to San Diego and back. My R1S was a great road tripper. It was a joy to drive out there. I kept the vehicle in all-purpose mode for the vast majority of the drive. If it looked like I could push for the next...
