  1. The sad tail of my R1S dual standard LFP...

    So heading home from “the big city” at the end of November we skipped charging because the route planner thought we would get home with like 17% of a charge. Traditionally the has been a pretty good predictor (rarely of by more then 1% or 2%). We stopped for food on the way home (if I had...

  2. Charge issue at West Lebanon NH RAN encountered and fixed

    I may have a trailer addiction, I just bought another one yesterday (this time a small dump trailer). This is also the very first time I have had the Rivian nav navigate me to a trailer friendly (in this case RAN) site while I was towing! So I was heartbroken to find that while there were 2 of...

  3. New (to me) pop up trailer, and some related charging stuff

    I bought a pop up camper yesterday. I drove like 200 miles to get it and charged at a RAN on the way which had a trailer pull through. Cool! My return trip says I’m coming here as well so I won’t have to do weird crap to fit a trailer in a non trailer spot! One other EV charges at the RAN...

  4. Grueling off road expedition (while towing!) in my R1S

    To be fair, I didn’t have time to capture any trace over the steep bits, or around the boulders. Plus new hazards popped up, I got out of the car for 90 minutes and *boom* a new tree! In other related news: I pulled a trailer with my new truck for the first time. It was as I expected very...

  5. Ended up using the key card yesterday, something I never did in my prior car

    So yesterday I ended up on a super short drive (down my driveway to my mailbox, mostly because it was “too wet” to feel like walking it). For various reasons I didn’t have my phone on me so I ended up using my keycard. Unlike my prior car the “sensor” being in the door handle is a smart place...

  6. First drive home: new R1S (aka “mini trip report”)

    End of March I traded up from my Model Y to a R1S. Bigger vehicle, better towing, and less of Elon’s crazy were all primary goals. I enjoyed the Y, and had some mixed feelings as I drove 200+ miles or so south from VT (I’m at the very northern bit, I can see Canada from my house) down into MA...

  7. Picking up new R1S next week, anything to be on the lookout for? Also: anything I should try to buy in the service center?

    I’m picking up my new R1S next week, is there anything I should be on the lookout for when picking up? Especially anything that might need special gear to check (like “if you care about getting 60W from the USB-C ports TEST it before you leave the SC”)? Also: anything I should be on the...
