    Rivian is scheduling open service tickets for Powered Tonneau Cover issues by end of March

    According to this recently update support article. I'd suggest anyone who still has a broken one to make sure this includes you. Rivian likely won't reach out otherwise. https://rivian.com/support/article/how-do-i-purchase-an-r1t-with-a-powered-tonneau-cover

    What will Tesla's response to the R3X look like?

    We all know the Cybertruck only came to market because Rivian turned out to be a formidable opponent in the EV space. We have yet to see the rumoured model 2, which is supposed to be more of a cheap city car, which I am not convinced is the R3's market. Will Tesla actually come up with a design...

    Testing 120V AC inverter limits

    Our travel trailer has an aircon unit with a supplemental 1500W resistive heater I put in it. Over the winter I have been occasionally running it off the AC inverter in my R1T instead of wasting propane when I am doing work on it. I knew it was over the limit of what the Rivian inverter is...

    R2 colors at reveal event?

    Wondering what colors we might see. What colors would folks want that you can't get on an R1? I'm expecting some kind of an orange because of the graphics Rivian used for their teaser, not really sure on the others yet though. I know RJ has teased a few colors for R1 that I'm thinking we might...

    Having Cold-soaked battery warming issues? Turn off regenerative braking assist

    This morning on my way into work, after driving for about 15 minutes I went to check out what my battery temps were. Vehicle was sat outside unplugged since Saturday afternoon. I used the scheduled precondition this morning, cabin was toasty warm at 7:30 but I hadn't thought to check what the...

    My 12v battery issue/servicing nightmare

    Last Sunday during my mandatory driveway shuffling, I pulled up my Rivian app to check in on my R1T that had been sitting unplugged in the sub zero weather all weekend. The app told my that my 12V batteries needed to be serviced. Had never seen the message before and I've learned my lesson...

    Where is Rivian's answer to this Cybertruck model?

    Would love to see Rivian make something like this with an R1T or R1S body. https://shop.tesla.com/product/cybertruck-for-kids I do have to wonder if this Cybertruck still sports all the dangerous looking sharp stainless steel corners.

    Anyone going? Any last bets on EPA ratings? Tesla took all the misinformation off the cybertruck page.

    Rivian KUAT Piston SR Bike Rack Guide

    Hadn't seen this before. Strange considering this stuff isn't available directly from Rivian yet either. https://assets.rivian.com/2md5qhoeajym/2YeW9n5vg4PxxyJwNq3JHc/5615adeaaecd552f47aa1b8b357f7119/kuat-piston-SR-en-us-20231110.pdf

    "Rivian Vehicle Access System 2.0" is coming?

    So as I do periodically, I look for new applications and information for manufacturers I follow, like Rivian, into different technology areas. They recently got a new FCC certification for a "Rivian Vehicle Access System 2.0" according to this report...

    Rivian Vehicles Get First Charge From On-Site Renewable Energy

    Have to say I'm excited about this progress (but also pretty sure they don't typically charge the vehicles up to 100% before shipping them out) https://stories.rivian.com/wind-turbine-complete-normal-plant

    Lane Keep vs Lane Centering

    I noticed a little while back that Rivian changed the Lane Keep description to mention that it's goal is to "keep the vehicle centered in a lane". It definitely accomplishes this better than other Lane Keep systems I have used in other vehicles, and seems to nudge before actually running over...

    "Recommending Activities for Occupants during Vehicle Servicing" Patent.

    This is probably one of the more bizarre patents I've seen published for Rivian. https://image-ppubs.uspto.gov/dirsearch-public/print/downloadPdf/20230311898 Hope you all enjoy your
