  1. In case of a zombie apocalypse, would you escape the city with an R1S or Audi A6 Quattro

    I didn't believe in zombies until a few weeks ago
  2. What do you think of these 10-year real-world cost comparisons?

    I guess I need to move to your neighborhood. The cheapest SCE rate is $.34 a kilowatt, except for the small baseline credit you get.
  3. Proximity locking is annoying

    We can land men on the moon, but we can’t get the door handles to unlock reliably. Three years in and probably one of the things I like least about the vehicle .I’m always either standing in the rain waiting for the door to open or I’m with a group of passengers and we all stand around wondering...
  4. Toyota Highlander EV Coming - Is This It?

    Just curious why you think it's a disaster.
  5. Seeking advice - 12V battery likely dying as I write this

    Great to hear you’re getting such good life, mine died at 7800 miles.
  6. Phantom Braking - Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) fires spontaneously

    Yours appears to be much harder breaking than mine but my R1S 2023 has eyes of it's own. 3 lane wide straight road with no vehicles in sight, I'm in the center or left lane and it brakes 2-3 times in the same spots in a 1/2 mile stretch. Drives me nuts as I have to drive this road all the time...
  7. Where $RIVN is Headed in 2026?

    The future of EVā€˜s in the US is grim, correction very grim. That other country across the sea is going to take over completely in the next three years. Unfortunately, there will be no catching up.
  8. 12V battery dead after 8 days at 71% charge

    Here’s the end of the story. A Rivian Mobile Tech came out and replaced the battery in about 12 minutes. It took another 10 minutes to reboot the car and do diagnostics with his laptop.. The traction battery was still charged at 71%, the same as when I left for vacation. The tech was super...
  9. 12V battery dead after 8 days at 71% charge

    That’s a bit sad since it took the Mobile Tech 12 minutes to replace it. Then a few more minutes to plug in his laptop and reset the computer.
  10. 12V battery dead after 8 days at 71% charge

    It’s the original 12 V battery. It sounds like the GEN 2 vehicles get early battery failure alerts, but I certainly didn’t get anything nor have I had any prior problems..
  11. 12V battery dead after 8 days at 71% charge

    Yes, that was the first thing they did to unlock the doors so that the wheel could be straightened to pull it out of the garage. My charger was plugged in, but nothing happened. The car now sits unlocked in the middle of an alley.
  12. 12V battery dead after 8 days at 71% charge

    The fun is just beginning. The tow company spent three hours trying to get it out of my garage. They finally dropped the front carrier to reposition it and the car rolled back into my carport , taking out my carport column. I guess it’s time to try a mobile service.
  13. 12V battery dead after 8 days at 71% charge

    owner manual says traction battery provides a steady state of charge to maintain the 12V
  14. 12V battery dead after 8 days at 71% charge

    Arrived home from an 8 day trip and 2023 R!S wouldn't wake. Was at 71% when I left. I've been on 15+ weeklong trips without a problem. SC says since it wasn't plugged in Rivian will not provide warranty, tow or rental car. Is this the new normal? Is it due to a recent OTA upgrade? I typically...
  15. Where do you store snacks in your Rivian? šŸ«

    It's amazing how much cleaner your car will be when you NEVER eat food in it.
  16. California Wanting to rent an iKamper Skycamp Mini in SoCal

    Not a rooftop tent camper myself, but if you can pick up one from Costco, you can certainly return it at any time if you don’t like it.
  17. Air-Conditioning not cold enough - Will I be charged if it's "within spec"?

    Driving around LA with all the tire, dust and exhaust emissions with your windows Open is probably about the worst thing possible for your health. Godspeed.
  18. Driver+ hand off driving unstable

    It all depends on how much you value your life. It’s pretty much the same with Teslaā€˜s FSD. What Tesla claims and what actually occurs are light years apart.
