  1. Does anyone use and have a recommendation for an extension cable for wall charger

    I decided to run the charger outside on my circular drive. An extension cable would cocern me.
  2. Alas, the gift of a door ding... PDR questions

    Yesterday I noticed a very similar dent on my R1S, so your post gives me hope that PDR can make it look good again. On mine, the plastic bumper that wraps around the corner has pulled away and I am hoping it can be snapped back in.
  3. Do you think EVs are eventually going to hurt exotic car brands?

    I have driven (and owned) some exotics...not sure if anyone considers my present sportscar (Lotus) an exotic.... but I think that even for exotics, too much is made of the noise and visceral experience. I would not use the RIvian as the comparison because it is a heavier SUV, but I have...
  4. Blue green liquid pooling under Rivian

    Sounds like it could be battery coolant. I had a small leak on mine, where one coolant line fitting was not tight enough. Small issue, but it has a potentially larger impact. For me, at the end of a longer roadtrip, I was getting a very odd message on my screen that I was 100 miles from home...
  5. “New” Quad Motor R1T pricing is crazy and not sustainable (even if Cybertruck priced higher than original reveal price estimate)

    I have owned a Tesla and have (probably like many) have a $100 deposit on a cybertruck. I also own a Rivian R1S. In my opinion, the CT is a very different market with the overlap of those that would cross chop the R1T and the CT to be relatively small (tho not zero). I think the CT is almost...
  6. Music disappointment

    In regards to comments about using a bluetooth phone music source vs a USB stick- I have previously used a thrumb drive on my Tesla for 90%+ of my music and have now been using bluetooth from my phone in my R1S. Where the phone, for me, is not as good are these points- Interruption by phone...
  7. A week at Rivian service center and they haven’t started working on it.

    My R1S required service for a leaking battery coolant fitting. It was towed to Atlanta (about 100 miles) on a Saturday and I was told it was the top priority. I check the location in the app on Monday and it was in the parking lot. Cool. Tuesday- in the parking lot. Wednesday- in the...
  8. Music disappointment

    Agreed with the orginal post. Coming from my Tesla, I was disappointed to learn I could not use the USB to read music off a thrumb drive. I dislike Tidal and Spotify and bluetooth to my phone has all kinds of annoyances. At first I wondered if the USB connectors were for charging only (not...
  9. Where did you install Home Charger?

    I am switching over to a Rivian charger now. Installed on my front circular driveway. Should have the Rivian charger in by next week. I was not happy with any other options so designed this mount. It has a roof to help keep weather off, the roof has built in lighting that is charged by solar...
  10. R1S leaking coolant fluid

    Everything is perfect since. That incident happened at the end of a road trip a few months ago and one positive was the offramp was 3 miles from home. I just got back last night from a shorter road trip and everything is fine.
  11. R1S leaking coolant fluid

    Mine was a loose fitting. Unfortunately it caused the car to stop on a freeway offramp. Thankfully I was able to do a full reboot of the car and drive home. Towed to the service center and the fitting was tightened.
  12. Issue with door not opening

    Searched the forum to see if anyone else had this issue. My passenger side door has intermittently not unlocked. Put the car in park, the passenger front door does not unlock and I have to manually open it from the inside. Perhaps it can be fixed with a hard reset, but it seems something is...
