  1. 12 Volt Demons Caught Up With The Count

    My "Replace 12v Battery" message appeared Monday evening, and even though my initial mobile service appointment was 2 weeks away, a tech reached out a day before and they came and swapped the batteries out in my driveway yesterday morning. 3.5 day turnaround is not bad. I guess I'm one of...
  2. 12 Volt Demons Caught Up With The Count

    I received the dreaded 12 battery notification today. I had to call to request mobile service, and the guy I spoke to said a Knoxville (I live about 25 min north of downtown Knoxville) is coming very soon. Didn't seem like a sales pitch/bologna to me, FWIW. My 12v battery appointment is...
  3. Would you still buy your Rivian today?

    I would absolutely buy my R1T again. 23k miles in a little over 2 years. No issues, no service center visits. (knock on wood!) It's hauled my daughter to/from college (with all her furniture and stuff) a couple times, it's taken me on a handful of great off road excursions, down twisty...
  4. What Took You the Longest to Get Used To?

    Just putting the vehicle in "Park" and walking away. It felt odd not having to "turn it off" to exit the vehicle. Now whenever I'm in a gas vehicle, I get out and leave the engine running half the time. lol!
  5. Burnouts!

    I wonder how much (if any) "Drift Mode" biases the power to the rear? The Gen 2 RAD tuner could make it happen, I'm sure.
  6. Trip Plan charging times creep up

    I've had this happen a lot. If you hit "Continue" (to go to the next destination) once you get to the charger, I "think" it stops raising the charge goal. It worked last time for me, at least. Before I figured out that trick, I would just remember what the goal was when I pulled in and just...
  7. Heated steering wheel? How warm is it supposed to be?

    I know what you mean-- my last truck was a Ram 1500. Even in single digit weather, I had to turn it off after a mile or two down the road since it would get so hot you didn't want to touch the wheel! The Rivian steering wheel definately doesn't get that hot. I think it's much more...
  8. My Gen1 upper frunk storage solution: YSSOA 22-inch trunk organizers

    Thanks for the heads up! As cheap as they are, I went ahead and picked up a couple of them. I've had a habit of carrying around detailing spray, rags, glass cleaner, extra jacket, etc lately.
  9. V2 Powered Tonneau Cover ($3300 installed) now listed in Rivian Gear Shop

    This is good info: thank you! I'm dying to get mine, even though mine is "not compatible" and this is a very expensive upgrade for what it is. This gives me hope!
  10. Many Missing Prime Charging Stations in NAV

    Sure enough: the Pilot Flying J/EV Go charger I mentioned earlier in this thread is back in Rivian's navigation.
  11. V2 Powered Tonneau Cover ($3300 installed) now listed in Rivian Gear Shop

    FWIW, I called back today just to see if anything in their system might have changed since the day 1 announcement. No luck. Still not compatible.
  12. Random Rivian Photos of the Day - Post Yours! 📸

    Wow, that is beautiful! Mountains meet sky.
  13. V2 Powered Tonneau Cover ($3300 installed) now listed in Rivian Gear Shop

    I also called about the PTC. I settled on a demo model without a PTC (even though I really wanted one) after the guide said it will be available in the Gear Shop as an option s00n. The representative said mine wasn't eligible, either. VIN 14,xxx. Bummer! I would have done it in a heartbeat...
  14. Loading a R1S with College Stuff

    I just took my sophomore daughter back to school at Vanderbilt. I felt like the Clampets and threatened to strap a rocking chair to the top. 😂 The tailgate was so close to closing!
  15. Many Missing Prime Charging Stations in NAV

    FWIW, I made a trip between Knoxville, TN to Nashville, TN two weeks ago and the EV Go chargers at a Pilot Flying J that used to show up in the Rivian nav (I've navigated to it nearly a dozen times) were no longer listed. Even with the the EV Go network selected. I didn't "need" to charge, but...
  16. 21" Inch 21" Wheel Center Caps

    If anyone is looking for center caps to fill the hole left after removing the aero covers in their 21" wheels, these fit like a glove: They're a good match to the wheels: I couldn't bring myself to drop $100 on four of them from the Gear Shop...
  17. VIN 16XXX no 12v in frunk

    16k VIN as well, no 12v in the frunk, but I do have one under the center touch screen.
  18. 2025.22 Update - Official Release Notes (Now With Google Maps Navigation)

    Just installed. As a Google Maps user of the last 10 years, I absolutely love it!
  19. Warranty Dispute on Drivetrain Repairs – R1T Launch Edition at 75k Miles

    Bummer. I would have thought half-shafts would have been considered power train the same way driveshafts are covered under an ICE powertrain warranty. I've never looked into whether axleshafts are covered under an ICE powertrain warranty.
  20. Under Screen Tray / Glovebox substitute - Perfect for sunglasses, by TWRAPS

    Great idea! If I didn't need the front cup holders in my lower console organizer (has cup holders near the 'firewall') to hold my tall water bottle, I would order this in a heartbeat. I think this sits low enough to interfere with that, unfortunately.
