Was going to suggest that you too buy a Tesla Model S or X, which came with free SC electricity for life, but I see Musk took that away already. Indeed, Musk's been trying to bribe those of us S or X owners with eternal free juice into giving it up for lesser things. Yeah, right, Musk. Fat...

My R1S is forever set to fixed All-Purpose mode and standard height. No Auto anything. Even took nasty looking aero wheel covers off. Plenty of chargers around when on trips. Better for me to pay for more electricity as opposed to wear and tear on suspension and compresor from going back and...

Doing with your Rivian what it is supposed to do and regardless of how often you do it is not abuse.

I still feel fortunate in that my R1S has not had any mechanical or drivetrain issues at all 3k miles in. Then, At 4 months old, it developed corrosion under paint , this updated in another thread. Rivian support, SC, is woefully mediocre at best. I myself located, found, and went to a...

I am sure you have heard this plenty: no ADAS known to man does anything violently. Regardless, though, always be watchful, be vigilant. Rivian system is not very good in my opinion, I do not trust it because of a couple of incidents when it either did not know what to do or kept constantly...

Thank the mighty Columbia for that. Mine is just under $0.07 per kWh. And if I travel in my Model S, rate at superchargers is $0.00.

Ah, there's that, yes. Thanks. Adding my Rivian to the Tesla app was transparent to me; same charging cost for eother my Tesla or R1S.

Wow, those were the prices when I drove through there. Are you sure? Not disputing it. Agreed on which are open to Rivian, but it does not make it necessarily worse for charging my R1S. Indeed, charging my Tesla in Kennewick, EA has chargers right next to Tesla's. Two Rivians were charging...

The Tesla SC cost near me is $0.36 per kWh. Took a trip into OR and ID not long ago: Moses Lake, WA: $0.29 Kennewick, WA: $0.27 Pendleton: $0.44 Baker City, OR: $0.28 Boardman, OR: $0.31 Yakima, WA: $0.40 Ellensburg, WA: $0.36 The mighty Columbia river bet has a lot to do with fairly lower...

Imagine, just imagine for a minute the huge revolt that would take place in America, in the ICE world if the price of gas hit such scam costs. Sure, it might depend on utility rates, makes no diffence. $0.82/kWh would work out to about $28.00 per galon of gas in terms of equivalent energy...

I surmise Musk likes me better that he likes you still. So much so as to give my Model SP free electrons for life at Tesla SCs. Thank you, Musk!!

I care as much for my R1S and do similar things to what you do. Pricey ride. Let the pro's handle it. You and your magnificent R1S beast deserve it. Mine, not even 6 months old, developed corrosion under paint on one of the rear doors. PPF and ceramic coating will come off, repainted...

Wow, I am so sorry about your incident. I can think of more than $80,000 reasons why I would not allow anybody else in my R1S ever for this type of service.

If you had your own pucks, could you have given them to DT to use? Could you yourself have driven your Rivian into the service bay? DT has been flawless for me. But I myself drive my cars in and prep them for service. Own Teslas , will do exactly the same for my R1S.

Saving it for watching later on tonight. Always very informative. A video that the lay person and not so nerdy can understand would be very useful also, and Miss Alyssa is the undisputed leader of those. Bring her on, please!!

The way I feel right now, I ain't trading my 21" Pirelli Scorpion for nothing.

Set vehicle to Performance mode, off you go!?

Excellent article. Thank you! My R1S consistently gives me 308 miles of range since delivery in Jan 2024. To me, range is not as critical anymore, or range anxiety for that matter. Plenty of fast chargers available most everywhere when on long trips, and now Tesla chargers at least some...

Conserve, reserve. Potato, potahto :)?

Knowing that there may be up to what, 570 A running out of a DC fast charger and at 400 V, I do not care if Tesla or the EV god designed and created an extension cable/cord for it. No, thanks. Will stick to the short supercharger cable and take two spots any time, any day. Safety first always.
