    Oregon WTB 1x OEM 20" Wheel w/ or w/o OEM AT tires (Greater PDX)

    Go to the service center in person, they'll sell you one, with or without tire. (I doubt they have any Brights left in stock, though.)

    Deer on I-80...Not Visible in DriveCam

    It does not. At least, it didn't when I had one of these blokes pass 10 feet in front of me (while stopped, then I went between them and pulled over to take the pictures looking back.)

    How low can you go (remaining range)?

    While it's still drivable under 5%, as others have said, it will have problems maintaining high freeway speeds. Note that when towing, it's way way worse. When towing a moderate trailer (3500lb teardrop) power starts to disappear at ~10%, and at 5%, maintaining even 45 MPH becomes impossible...

    R2 and R3X visit San Jose (photos, reactions, tire sizes)

    Interesting that the simulated screen efficiency graph shows an average efficiency of only 3.12 mi/kWh. That feels really low for a vehicle of R3's size. Maybe the expect the offroad tires to be terrible, and the non-X R3 will be higher?

    Oregon WTB single 20" AT wheel - with or without tire

    Go to the Service Center. They'll sell you a single bare wheel. They won't do it via scheduled appointment, you have to do it in person. (I mean, if you have a scheduled appointment for another reason, they'll do it while you're at that.)

    My pickup experience

    Yep, PlugShare shows multiple "no NACS adapter support" vehicles charging in Quincy, and that the stalls going back to last September. If you don't know what you're looking for, seeing the Magic Docks isn't obvious. And if you just pull out the handle, it will come out with just the NACS...

    Possible updates / upgrades coming s00n! R2 software? -- Q&A with head of software Wassym Bensaid

    My vampire drain is only about 1% a day, if that. On a sub-10,000 VIN. Software updates over the years have significantly improved it from what it was early on. But... I do park in a single-family-home garage, so have Gear Guard turned off at home. It is higher when parking overnight somewhere...

    Unreasonable extra costs

    Yeah, that ain't Rivian's fault, that's your state.

    Reno to Tucson... Can't get there from here.

    Another happy 395 user here, Portland to Tucson - while towing a trailer - passing by Reno getting to 395. It's a great route with plenty of charging.

    Rivian cuts another 1% of workforce in new layoff (April 17, 2024)

    If they think that 1% cut is what they need to hit "gross margin positive by the end of the year" I consider that damned impressive. 🤮 No. Just no.

    Cat camping, charging with TT-30 adapter and R1S powered cooking

    Our cats are not a fan of our trailer. We've put them in there when having stuff done in the house that contractors were coming in and out - and I worked from the trailer (in our driveway) to keep them comfortable. They just paced in front of the door waiting to get out.

    Worried about buying a Rivian if the company fails

    Rivian won't just fold with zero recovery of anything. They're already big enough, with serious assets. What I see as the absolute worst-case scenario would have Amazon take them over and turn them into "Amazon Car". Far more likely in the event of actual dire financials that they'd be scooped...

    My R1T is going on a 2000 miles trip and need advise on charging

    Depends entirely on where your trip is going. Your profile says "Southern California" - if your 2000 miles is just Portland and back, you don't need an adapter. If it's Denver and back, you might want one. I did 4500 miles down the West Coast, towing a trailer, including Eastern California...

    Charging Station Rating in new Rivian software update -- Wassym interview

    Rivian doesn't/can't show the status of Electrify America stations for some reason. You'll never get live-use on an EA. (I hope they do change that soon.)

    Charging Station Rating in new Rivian software update -- Wassym interview

    What if that 30 stall location has 29 stalls out of service? The quick view doesn't show how many stalls are out of order, only "available." You might look at that 30-stall station and see "1 available" and think it's just busy, when it's really not at all busy. When I planned my trip, I saw "1...

    Charging Station Rating in new Rivian software update -- Wassym interview

    That's my point. It knows live if a stall is down or not - that should instantly drop the rating. It can go back up as soon as it's back online; but a station with one third of its stalls completely out of service should not get an A while they're down.

    Another First EV Roadtrip Post / Oregon to SoCal

    Quad 20" is the worst config for efficiency. You're comparing a full size performance SUV with off-road tires to a station wagon with presumably road tires. Longer range road tripping in an EV takes some getting used to. One thing is in ICE vehicles, it's far more common to "drive to near...

    Charging Station Rating in new Rivian software update -- Wassym interview

    Major problem with it I've already discovered: Stations with completely "out of service" stalls don't seem to affect the rating. I just mapped a route, and it wanted me to stop at a station that had only 1 of 6 stalls open, with 2 of the stalls completely "out of order." So that's 1/3rd of...

    Rivian service every bit as bad as people say

    I’ve had mine 20 months. 2 recall visits - quick and flawless. 1 warranty 12V replacement - quick and flawless. 2 “my fault” fixes - quick and flawless. Better than my experience with my Ford dealer for my Mach-E, on par with my experience with my BMW dealer for my i3, way way better than my...
