This could be good news for the general availability of bidirectional charging. https://electrek.co/2025/02/21/nema-bidirectional-ev-charging-standard/

Almost done with a British Columbia vacation from Port Angeles to Ucluelet on Vancouver Island to Port Hardy. Prince Rupert, Prince George, William’s Lake, Bella Coola (probably the first Rivian to visit) and Whistler. The day after getting off the BC Ferry from Port Hardy to Prince Rupert and...

Last week I noticed my key fob was missing. Asked my wife but she hasn’t seen it. Next day my wife found it in my pants picked when she took it out of the dryer. Full wash and dry cycle. Tried it. Didn’t work. Rivian suggest soft reset and a service. soft reset didn’t work. Note the fob (and...

Now that Rivian appears to be reducing their backlog, as evidenced by all the Vehicles in the Rivian Shop, when do folks think they will start doing fleet sales to Rentsl Car companies? They go for $149+/day on Turo. Rental car companies could rent them as premium vehicles.

I got my R1T last May with 4 shiny AT bright wheels. As was common at the time my spare tire was back ordered. A few months later they delivered it and installed it in the spare tire compartment. They even showed it and the tools to me after it was installed. All was good. Cut forward to today...

Chargers for the first time at a Tesla Supercharger in Scotts Valley, CA. Charged from 56% to 70% in about 15 minutes. Started by a QR code that led to App Store to download the app. Already had it, but downloaded an update. Picked “charge a non-Tesla vehicle.” Had to update billing address and...

Thought I’d change things up a bit and post some photos and videos of playing in the snow and doing my first recovery. Thanks to Mat for finding the location, filming the drone footage, being a good Samaritan and thus provide me the opportunity to practice recovery.

Picked up my new toy today! Got the the service center 30 minutes early. Lots of trucks on the lot and a few in the service area. The owners lounge was closed but had a sign to check in a service area. Caught a field tech’s extension and he already knew who I was. Brought my truck from in back...

I’m going on a business trip this afternoon and I just received this: Unfortunately I’ll be out of the country on those dates. That being said, they were happy to set up an appointment when I get back: I don’t know how I’ll focus while I’m gone. They better not cancel my return flight.

…apologies to the late Mr. Swift. On Monday my backup guide told me my truck is in transit, on Wednesday he said it was about to leave the plant in Normal and today he said it was in Transit. We have multiple stories of owners who have paid for their vehicle and don’t know where it is. Or late...

I sent a note to my guide last night and received an out of office reply this morning. I’m in the April/May group for a R1T LG/FE 20” Bright. My understanding is my guide was watching the production vehicle list for a match. Does this mean while he is on vacation I can’t get a vehicle assigned...

For those who have received phone calls from their Rivian Guide, can you post the 800 number? That way those who haven’t received a call yet can add the number(s) to our address book and hopefully not miss the call when we get it. Apologies if somebody has already posted this information and I...
