  1. 2023 R1S Range limit test report: Flagstaff to Tucson

    Thanks for the pointers - yes, we figured out the preferences long ago and even with the remaining charge set at 2%, it wanted us to stop and charge. I think there is a built-in default that it won't let you go that low due to all the variability in range estimating. We kept the car in...
  2. 2023 R1S Range limit test report: Flagstaff to Tucson

    Just a quick note here I thought would be of interest: 5/20/2025 we charged our 2023 R1S Quad large pack with 21" road tires up to 100% at the Flagstaff AZ RAN and headed for home on the far eastside of Tucson (Houghton/Speedway area for those who know it). Rivian map said the trip was 267 miles...
  3. Alexa should make phone calls without Connect+ for safety reasons

    Some time after Connect+ was released, Alexa lost the ability to make phone calls to contacts without it unless you are connected to wifi. 1) This doesn't make any sense, because Alexa has access to vehicle capabilities, and any bluetooth-connected phone's contact list is downloaded into the...
  4. Wipers start automatically.

    @Greg Chick, thanks for posting this. We are having the same problem with our R1S, which we took delivery of in late March 2024. I agree that there is a risk of scratching the windshield and ruining the wiper blades (especially here in AZ where its hot and dry). "Courtesy wipe" sounds like...
  5. Request for addition of more flexible charging schedules to align with solar power output

    Hey @defcon888 and @SwampNut , just a quick follow-up here as I realized I had a brain fart with my rates quoted before. You may be the only one who cares (if you do lol) but I thought I'd set the record straight. The On Peak and Off Peak rates quoted above are just the On/Off Peak...
  6. Request for addition of more flexible charging schedules to align with solar power output

    Thanks @JoMo, that's a slick setup. My system IS Enphase and we considered batteries, but I'm more than a little incensed that my solar contractor didn't offer me the Enphase charger! I already bought the Rivian one :|
  7. Request for addition of more flexible charging schedules to align with solar power output

    Hi @SwampNut, Our solar install was completed in 2022 and we were grandfathered in at a favorable rate and the force a time of use plan; right now it is winter rates: Winter On Peak @ $0.039694 and Winter Off Peak @ $0.031266. Summer On Peak @ $0.059449 and Summer Off Peak @ $0.023516...
  8. Request for addition of more flexible charging schedules to align with solar power output

    MA vs. AZ, what can I say! Our winter electricity rate differential isn't all that bad, but for summer its a wider gap. Not insurmountable, but like I said I'm shooting for driving 100% on sunshine.
  9. Request for addition of more flexible charging schedules to align with solar power output

    Thanks, but that isn't necessary - the charging page in the car allows you to set the amperage for a given charging session, and I've done that already to take advantage of my peak solar production. What I want is to be able to set a schedule that ramps up amperage over the morning, then ramps...
  10. Rivian should add flexibility to route planning to support 'what-if' planning

    Thanks for this! I thought I must be daft not to have seen it - however, I was trying to change the setting from a favorite destination, and the departure range is not editable there. Thanks again!
  11. Request for addition of more flexible charging schedules to align with solar power output

    Making changes at the charger sounds like a good option, but I've got the Rivian wall charger and I don't see any way to do that. All the charging options are in the app or in vehicle. I agree its a pretty cheap charge even when it goes over solar production, and we pay less than you do per...
  12. Rivian should add flexibility to route planning to support 'what-if' planning

    I've tried it from both the app and the car nav planning, and can't figure out how to change the charge level without physically charging the car to the level I want. FUBAR!, If you or anyone can figure out how, please document your steps here!
  13. Request for addition of more flexible charging schedules to align with solar power output

    We've got a big investment in our R!S and the solar panel power system at our home. We'd like to import as little power as possible from the grid, a) because we pay more for power we import than we are credited for power we produce and export, and b) because electric power in our area is...
  14. Rivian should add flexibility to route planning to support 'what-if' planning

    We just got our R1S late March 2024, and love it! After taking a 480 mile road trip and planning others, we'd like to see more flexibility/power in route planning. Some suggestions in order of priority: 1) Ability to change the starting charge level that you'll have to the vehicle at when you...
