I happened to see the aftermath of a rear-end collision on the Leverett Circle Connector Bridge (which runs parallel to the Zakim bridge in Boston) yesterday. Lots of people milling around the vehicles, so it looked like everyone was OK. I was going at a good clip in the opposite direction, so I...

The level of privilege and elitism on this forum never ceases to appall me.

I find that if you lightly put your foot on the go pedal and wait a full two seconds, the truck will start to reverse nice and slowly. That two seconds wait is critical. I have public parking on a city street and have to parallel park into tight spots day in and day out and this works for me. If...

Not everyone can charge at home (I can’t). And why would anyone “trust” you on something so subjective? Such an odd thing to say. I think I am perfectly capable of deciding if I am going to miss 2 miles or not.

For some people, it actually is.

That makes sense @Dark-Fx. Thanks for taking the time to reply to my post! I never would have thought of that. I find it curious that its such a predictable pattern, but not quite a perfect pattern. Thanks again!

I've been using the ElectraFi/TeslaFi service to get some deeper insights into my R1Ts efficiency, amongst other interesting data points. As a bike commuter, I don't drive my R1T on a regular basis and can sometimes go days without putting any mileage on it. It's mostly used for out of town...

Correction, they have 9,999 in their fleet: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/when-you-steal-a-rivian-amazon-edv-but-dont-know-how-to-drive-%F0%9F%A4%A3.20262/

I don’t have assigned off street parking (I live in a traditional 2/3 unit condo in Boston) so charging at home is Not an option. Using public chargers, I pay marginally less for electricity than I do gas for my Volvo XC60 ICE. I keep a detailed spreadsheet and it’s about .18 per mile to charge...

You know, you can save a little more money, and help the environment a bit, by making your own windshield washer fluid from concentrate. You can even save your vehicle from unnecessary damage by using precisely the amount of methanol needed for your expected temperature range. The “all-weather”...

I’m not a rocket scientist, or electrical engineer. Can one or the other estimate for me how long you would be able to run your fridge, freezer, and minimal lighting for a 2000 sq ft home off of a Rivian R1T with Large battery pack and 60% SoC? If it’s not like a day or more, What is the point...

Something that may be obvious to some but not to others. It took me a while to figure out and I still don’t always get it right: I find that you HAVE to click on the charger icon on the center display map and start navigating to the charger that way of you want to precondition. The destination...

I charged at that sheetz in Scranton on my way back to Boston last weekend. It was busier than I expected for 7pm on a Sunday but all chargers were working and delivering expected power and I didn’t have to wait. Just check availability using EA app 20 minutes out.

Uggh, it looks like there are very few people in my boat. I live in a two unit condo in Boston with on-street parking, no driveway, no garage. There is no opportunity for me to charge at home, so I have to park it overnight at the nearest municipal lot and walk home whenever my R1T gets low...

So, I’ve only had my R1T for less than 4 weeks, but I’ve already taken it on two road trips totaling 2,800 miles. The first from Boston -> DC, the Second from Boston -> North Carolina, via Blue Ridge Parkway southbound. Two completely different experiences. My advice is, don’t go through New...

I believe EA+ reduces per kW charging from 0.52 to 0.34. One single charging session at a level 3 charger from 20% to 80% nets you 108 kW. That’s $36.72 vs $ 56.16. A savings of almost $20.00. The membership costs $7.00 a month. If you charge at an EA L3 charger once every 80 days, you’re saving...

I’ve always had problems with Rain-X, too. If you don’t keep reapplying it, it degrades to a point where it just starts to smear all over the glass, seriously impacting visibility. The only way I was able to get it off the windshield was to use a micro-abrasive glass polish. Never again. I was...

can you share a link to your repo?

Thanks for sharing! I do the reverse trip a few times a year, Boston to Keuka. My Rivian is 3 weeks out so I’m not familiar with the app (or the truck) at all. Forgive me if this is in the screenshots, but what was your total time spent charging on each trip? How many stops? What is the...

Got it, yeah, good point. I never looked closely at the source, it's just what comes up when I search for "Rivian OTA update changelog" I assumed they might manage such assets in github. Sure am glad for it though because, well, COPY/PASTE which you can't do with the image assets Rivian...
