Ditto here. Almost 12K miles, the truck is performing beautifully. OTA updates make it better and better. Continually accosted by admiring and curious folks. No regrets here whatsoever.
And the one time one of those souped up Dodge Chargers pulled up next to me at a stoplight, gunning his...
With the battery pack so low, the R1Tās center of gravity is super-low. You would have to try really hard to roll one. Mine is āon railsā turning hard at high speeds on the road. But you combine soft dirt and cranking the wheel as hard as you can with some serious torque, and here you are...
Sounds good - I'd be very curious if at your convenience, you just asked yours for a route to New Bern - see if it sends you all over ENC!?
Hope to see you on the road,
Andrew
Hey Joel,
Sorry for the delay, but I'm actually the Black one! I did see the Blue one in James City a couple of weeks ago - waved, but I don't think he saw me. No, not many of us in ENC! Mostly, I'm burning up and down US 70 between New Bern and Morehead, and Temples Point Road. Do you have...
Originally all was well with my Nav system. A couple of updates ago, the system decided to no longer use the main highway where I live and drive every day, to wit, US-70 between Havelock and New Bern, NC. If I search a route from home to work, or vice-versa, the system sends me all over...
After driving my Rivian for a month, so it can learn my driving habits, the fact that I keep my surfboard and bike racks installed, etc. Iāve made a note in my phone of the date and the mileage estimate for conserve mode after a full charge. That way, I can keep an eye on my degradation over...
Well that sounds great - I stand corrected. And youāre probably not an electrical engineer either. But you found the right piece of guidance, from the proverbial horseās mouth. Thatās good enough for me.
On what are you basing this statement? It seems to me the issues are interrelated. Iām no electrical engineer, but The manual clearly states: āLeave the vehicle plugged in IF you donāt plan on driving it for a long time.ā Not every day.
I refer only to page 124 of the vehicle manual, and what I was told by Rivian support. I guess one could say āWhat do the makers of the vehicle know?ā But think about it: why on earth would Rivian tell us in writing that it is best not to use the full range capabilities of the battery every...
No, no, no. That means "When you need to charge, use a Rivian charger whenever possible", as opposed to "Use your Rivian charger every chance you get". You should absolutely not charge every night (unless you're driving so much that you need to). This is the worst thing you can do for your...
