While sitting at the car wash, I got an alert my 12v lead acid battery needs attention. It said, I could not go over 60 mph's, there was a turtle picture and AWD was enabled. At least I was able to drive home. I bought this truck new June 1st, 2024 with a 3 year lease. In November 2024, it...
At the top of I-70 at Eisenhower (11,170ft) Tunnel in Colorado, I had 13% thinking I would gain 9-10% like my Tesla MY. After a drop to 6,120 ft to Golden, CO, I actually lost another 4% and ended up at 9% for on that 5,000ft elevation drop over 45 miles. For some reason, my R1T gave no...
I'm debating on upgrading my leased 2023 R1T Dual Max to a leased 2026 R1T Dual Max before September 30th. Although the 2026 models will have a NACS charge port, I've read non Telsa's with NACS charge port will still not charge at V1 & V2 Superchargers which WY has a lot of, especially around...
The day we flew out, I charged both my 2024 Tesla Model Y and 2023 R1T w/Max Pack to 75%. After 15 days in my garage, here's what happened with the batteries.
My 2024 Tesla has 1,300 miles and about a 75 kWh battery.
My 2023 Rivian has 7,600 miles and about a 140 kWh battery.
After 15 days, the...
2023 R1T Performance w/Max Pace using a 40amp Tesla Wall Charger with a A2Z adapter.
Software: 2024.51.02. Problem started with 2024.50.01
SOC was 27% and scheduled to charge at 9pm in a 60 degree to 75% in a heated garage.
From 9pm to 3am, charge rate is 20amps.
From 3am to completion, charge...
After installing 2024.51.01 software and plugging in my Tesla Wallcharger with A2Z adapter, I noticed my '23 R1T change rate dropped 50% from 9pm to about 3pm, then it went to 9kwh. In 8 months of owning this truck, it's never done that before. My garage is also heated to 60 degrees, so it's...
Best I can tell, my ’23 R1T Dual Motor Performance, Max Pack with 20” AT tires doesn’t appear to have lost any battery. My rule is, never charge above 70% unless on a trip and even then, I never go above 90%. I charge whenever the battery is below 30% and I charge in the garage via Tesla Wall...
I am somewhere on the list to receive a free NACS to CcS adapter. So I contacted Rivian and I could buy one, which I did and received it several days later. Since Rivian says they'll give any Rivian owner who wants an adapter a free one, then why are they charging Rivian owners for an adapter...
Yes, I’ve bought 4 Tesla Model Ys over the last 5 years because of improvements and trade-in deals
Over last 4 years, I’ve driven a Tesla Model Y (MY) from Denver to Tulsa. A trip that’s about 750 miles. There were definitely some pro’s & con’s to each one.
Trips were started with 95% SOC
The...
I went to get in my R1T at noon and it was dead as a door nail. No lights, no screen, nothing. Then looked at my Rivian App and there was a message to Replace my 12v Battery. So I guess the lights, screen, locks, etc all run from a 12v battery. My app still says it has 250 miles of range...
I've been pulling trailers since the late 70s. And my R1T says cruise control is unavailable when trailer connected. Every Truck or SUV I've had since 1980 allow cruise control when pulling a trailer.
Why does Rivian not allow cruise control when pulling a trailer? The little things I took...
Overnight, When I unplug the charge cable from my R1T, the charger door does not close automatically. Even touching the 3 lines doesn't close the door. I end up locking and unlocking the doors, then I can touch the 3 lines and close the door.
My model Y, automatically closes a few sec...
My 4 week old R1T is constantly locking and unlocking in my garage. My Model Y does not do that. How can I tell my Rivian to stay unlocked when at home / garage. It's driving me nuts that I can't find the setting. Been trying to compare my Tesla and Rivian settings and it's like Apples and...
A few years ago, I bought two Tesla Wall Chargers because I bought a Model Y and ordered a Cybertruck. However, the Cybertruck was taking too long and SuperChargers were now open to most CCS EV's. So I cancelled my Cybertruck and bought a Rivian R1T a couple weeks ago. I also bought a A2Z AC...
