  1. Strap towed a 4Runner 30 miles out of Mendocino National Forest…

    10mph max . We did change it up for the downhill portions because the braking was too difficult given the short tow distance and increased the chance of strap entanglement.
  2. Strap towed a 4Runner 30 miles out of Mendocino National Forest…

    Forgot the gratuitous mountain top tailgate lunch cookout! The first thing I did was take it out of rock crawl to prevent the truck from rolling forward #becauseGravity. Then I put a rock next to the concrete platform and the front left tire. The carefully applied the accelerator pedal to...
  3. Strap towed a 4Runner 30 miles out of Mendocino National Forest…

    Weekend camping and wheeling turned in to recover mode with no cell coverage and the Toyota stuck in 4lo. Fortunately threw my recovery kit in at the last minute thinking if I have it I won’t need it. The Rivian towed like a champ. I did move back to quad motors uphill because two struggled...
  4. R1T tailgate - sensor claims it’s open when shut

    Happy to report that the mobile tech was able to replace both latches (even though the issue was only on the driver's side), and no more issues! Took forever to get the work scheduled but very happy with the outcome!
  5. R1T tailgate - sensor claims it’s open when shut

    Sadly this has recurred for me after using the tailgate yesterday to move some furniture around. It went away the first time after I installed an after market tonneau cover, and now nothing seems to work. More annoyingly, you can’t see the fault until after you press on the brake pedal and put...
  6. PSA - DO NOT USE LECTRON ADAPTOR w/ Tesla Wall Charger on Rivian

    I mean, this is pretty much exactly how the Tesla magic docks work and Rivian is obviously encouraging that use by adding them to the charging network map overlay. And if the entire US goes to NACS and the trucks still have CCS connectors, adapters are gonna be used all kinds of places.
  7. PSA - DO NOT USE LECTRON ADAPTOR w/ Tesla Wall Charger on Rivian

    I’d say load sharing with a second Tesla charger with the CCS plug makes the most sense then. No additional capacity, no need to keep using the damaged/faulty adapter. Did you ever notice the heat buildup?
  8. PSA - DO NOT USE LECTRON ADAPTOR w/ Tesla Wall Charger on Rivian

    Something is off here. It sounds like either the wrong Lectron adapter was used (only rated to 40 amps rather than 48 amps) or the Tesla wall adapter temperature sensors in the plug end failed (or both). Even with electrical resistance causing heat buildup, that presumably would be between the...
  9. map freezes and frequent GPS dropouts…

    So I figured this out. The Drive Cam drive got corrupted somehow and the truck could no longer connect to it. While in this state, the GPS would drop out frequently. I pulled the drive put (Samsung 256GB solid state thumb drve), and no more issues. Will have to see if I can mount the drive...
  10. map freezes and frequent GPS dropouts…

    This seems to have started shortly after my update to 2023.18.0 and I just put in a service request. Basically, within every minute the GPS drops out and then takes another minute or so to recover. The nav shows no GPS signal and the map freezes with the last known position. This is...
  11. Camp speaker Immediately Disconnects and Powers Down

    I was able to get the speaker to charge (including the charge level indicator in the connect screen) by turning it on before docking and then locking the dock. It does not seem to charge when it is turned off and docked like we probably all expect it to. Fortunately, it charges quickly when it...
