  1. Gen 1 unresponsive after high kw L3 Charging

    Do you get any "clacking" noises during the charge? I got these and then "HV battery needs service" indicators. Turned out to be the "High voltage distribution box" which needed replacing. (I think that's a relay used during charging, so the "clacking" made sense.)
  2. Automating my Rivian drive modes & more using Auto-Mate by EVPLAY (Review)

    @SwampNut are you iOS or Android? This thread has a couple of iOS users reporting issues, which I believe are resolved as of app AutoMate version 1.2(4).
  3. East Bay - EV Sportline Running boards Question & Installer recommendation

    WOW! That's a low price! Especially since it also converts from an R1S to R1T!! 🤣
  4. East Bay - EV Sportline Running boards Question & Installer recommendation

    Oh, I hadn't thought of the ice up issue -- thanks for the heads up! Any "ice up" issues? They look like they have more room to drip off, because they are lower. Any guess at how much ground clearance you lost? (Not a major issue for me, just curious.) Thanks for mentioning these -- I hadn't...
  5. East Bay - EV Sportline Running boards Question & Installer recommendation

    I'm considering the Aluminum EV Sportline RMaxx running boards with aero covers (mostly due to low weight), but have a couple of "localish" questions. 1. Anyone have experience using these in the Sierra during winter? From the photos, it looks like they'd ice up pretty easy, and you'd have zero...
  6. FYI: Transport Canada’s Vehicle Headlights Survey

    [I'm not from Canada, but ran across this on Mastodon. Given various discussions about headlights & snow & glare & ..., I though Rivian owners might have an opinion.] From Nick Heer:
  7. Why Even Tire Pressure Matters More Than You Think

    Which Rivian provided tire pressure reading do you trust? UPDATE: after an unrelated SC visit, they reset tire pressure to match TPMS, so I'm assuming the compressor is reading high. I have a G2 R1S with compressor. The TPMS values read about 3 PSI higher than the compressor fills to. Given...
  8. Noob SC tip & looking for "Rivian SC How To"

    tl;dr: When given a SC appointment always ask for the estimated completion date. Then plan your life around that. On my first SC appointment, for something very minor (occasional intermittent yellow triangle light), I discovered that the dates are "drop off" dates. The estimated completion date...
  9. Alexa not Recognizing Commands

    FWIW, another example: Alexa reports a bizarre time for the vehicle -- UTC+1, but knows the time zone the vehicle is in, and the correct time for that time zone. Transcript: Alexa, what time zone is this device in? This device's time zone is Pacific time. Alexa, what time is it in Pacific...
  10. Front mesh grill to protect radiators - DIY install

    Regardless of an add on mesh, at some point, the radiator should be cleaned. Does anyone have recommendations on a decent way to do that? With the dfrunk and shutters, it doesn't sound as easy as on an ICE.
  11. Update 46 digital key issue

    While you can't revert that key, you may have luck (and extra work) by setting up another Rivian account (non-owner), and never inviting it to use a digital key. However, you will have to reset all your personalization settings if you go this route. And you'll log in and out of your old...
  12. Pro Tip: ensure you have 2nd key with you with new digital key!

    <rant> That's backwards - technology must be designed to serve humans, not vise versa! </rant> Sigh too few people in product engineering have read any of Don Norman's human computer work, or Nancy Leveson's Engineering a Safer World. This bug goes against both approaches, even though they come...
  13. Pro Tip: ensure you have 2nd key with you with new digital key!

    No, I don't have a watch (of any kind). šŸ˜‰ Using a watch was one of the workarounds support suggested to me -- so I think that makes you safe.
  14. Pro Tip: ensure you have 2nd key with you with new digital key!

    I hope this is a "one off" or "extremely rare", but I got locked out of our G2 R1S yesterday, in a manner that never happened before the new 2025.46 key update. As I sometimes do, I left my phone on the charge pad when I exited the vehicle. As always, I listened for the proximity lock sound as...
  15. Wishlist of small things that Rivian can improve (that bug you)

    I'd like a "fob layout" screen in the app that I can set as default. The phone should be at least as capable as the fob. (There are fob functions that are not available in the app, such as "unlock all doors".) I'd like the "no connect plus" Alexa mode to handle center display selection (e.g...
  16. 2% SoC loss overnight - what should I look for?

    Thanks for the quick responses. In answer to the questions: - it's a Gen2 R1S - it is parked outside, so it is locked. Based on the responses, I'll stop worrying. The charger should be installed in January.
  17. 2% SoC loss overnight - what should I look for?

    I’ve only had my R1S for 2 months, and haven’t had a home charger installed yet. I’m seeing about 2% state of charge drop overnight, which seems high. I live in the SF Bay Area, so temperatures are very mild. I think I’ve turned off as much as I can - but there are a lot of automations. I’m...
