Okay - In hindsight I guess it's obvious, but doing a full system reboot (hazard and left steering wheel button) turns off your outlet timers. Here's what happened to me today... We have a 8-night work trip to northern Kentucky. Last night I packed the fridge in my R1S subtrunk with food we...

I've been on a bit of a quest to find the perfect 12V (or 120V) fridge/freezer that could live in the subtrunk of our R1S and believe I've found it: The BougeRV 23QT, currently on sale for $166 with free shipping. I wanted a fridge that would hold at least two of our favorite Rubbermade...

My wife and I get to spend a week in Augusta, KY (about an hour SE of Cincinnati along the river) for work in the next couple of weeks. I wasn't surprised that there weren't any chargers around Augusta (there's a L2 about 30 minutes away) and the VRBO where we're staying only has street parking...

I'm visiting my father and I know where the nearest L3 chargers are. Today I took him for a doctor's appointment and, lo and behold, there's an "obvious" L3 charger in the parking lot: It's got a gigantic video screen but I'm a little annoyed that I can't just start charging with a tap of my...

Our Gen1 Quad R1S was in the SC for a 12V issue and they gave me a Performance Dual Motor as a loaner. We had it for two weeks and it made me wish that I had a "Dual Motor" mode in my quad that acted like the PDM in All Purpose. The PDM would use both motors as you accelerate and then would...

EDITED: This is NOT a request for CarPlay in the Rivian - It's a link, for those who are interested, where RJ explains some of the reasons that it's not available in the Rivian. https://www.autoblog.com/news/rivian-ceo-shades-rival-automakers-to-explain-why-its-evs-lack-carplay Here's the AI...

We've had our R1S over two years and I hadn't ever seen this before. After unloading the car I didn't completely close the rear passenger door: The view on the screen, however, showed that the door was wide open! I saw the open door and was convinced that I was about to clean out the left...

For various reasons (mostly due to have our twins start college - one at Penn State and one at Ohio State), we've been spending a lot of time in our Rivian - enough so that a Tesla membership made sense for us. A couple of observations: The new Tesla chargers with the long cables are a game...

My wife has decided that we need to add a 20' flagpole to our tailgating setup to make it easier for people to find us. The "mount" sits under a tire: Has anyone used anything like this with a Rivian? I'm wondering if I should get a piece of 2x10 or 2x12 to put the flag stand on to better...

I have twin girls who started their freshman year (one at Penn State, the other at Ohio State - lucky me) and we loaded our R1S to the gills with their stuff, but it all fit! Thankfully I only needed to have room for one of them in the car. Sub-trunk Trunk Frunk 2nd Row

I don't have a spare for our R1S and would like to use that space to fit the largest dual-zone electric cooler I can. My 1st-world "problem" is that dual-zone I want is the Bodega 38QT which is 14.1" from front-to-back. As you can see from the photo below, I only have about 13 inches with...

PSA: Just ordered the Starlink Standard kit for just $175 (plus tax, free shipping) in case anyone is interested. The deal is simply on their website. I'd been watching it for a while and it was $350 - happened to check it today and immediately bought it. If anyone is on the fence, this...

...You lower yours and greet them by name because you know them from this forum (but have never met)! Yes, it happened to me this evening. I'm heading down the Fruitville Pike towards Lancaster and I see another LA Silver R1 behind me. He pulled into the lane next to me and I saw a "Thor...

Anyone else now seeing this? Yes - I realize it's time for a new phone (I'm rocking an iPhone 10x) because the new Rivian app requires a version of IOS that I can't load on my phone, but I was fine with the limited functionality of the app I had. Why did they need to remove my ability to see...

I bought the BestEvMod Frunk Cooler (by @BestEvMod(AOSK)) soon after we picked up our R1S in 2023. It lives under the frunk divider in case we ever need it. I've used it a number of times, but always loading it from home. Tonight I needed it when we were at a friend's graduation party - It...

"Dad - You SO could have smoked that guy" said my daughter after this happened at a red light where it narrowed to one lane not far on the other side of the intersection. Here's the coal-burner from my left camera (we have a '23 Gen1 R1S Quad so please forgive the image quality): 13-second...

I read through all of the Starlink Mini threads and it seems that there are a bunch of Rivian owners who have them. Here's my use case: Tailgating at Penn State. In the subject of this thread I admit that it's pathetic...I'm looking for a way to use my Hulu Live subscription to watch football...

I'll explain below why I needed a PDR (Paintless Dent Removal) visit, but I have to say that watching the process was almost magical. I had asked a friend (who works for a PDR company) to give me an estimate to submit to the insurance company of the person who dented our R1S. He stopped by the...

I'll begin by saying that I love camping - sleeping in a tent and cooking out. I've evolved from the classic 2-burner Coleman white gas stove to a propane oven/stovetop combo for cooking. After getting our R1S I was really looking forward to switching to all electric appliances and did so...

We pulled in to an EA Charging station in a Walmart parking lot this afternoon and everything started off well. I plugged the cable into the Rivian, used the EA app to initiate the charge, and got back into my seat to wait the 30 minutes we expected to be there. I saw the charging speed ramp...
