    Suspension raising every time I get in my R1T. Anyone else?

    I get that warning some of the time - more often in cold conditions and first drive of the day. I keep kneel mode on all the time.

    Anyone get their Tesla Adapter yet?

    They will be on the next boat.

    Sudden Battery Capacity Loss

    Definitely a service call. Does anybody have a wiring diagram for the battery? Sounds like approximately half of the battery is disconnected.

    ⚡️ Rivian announces: March Tesla Supercharger access & free NACS adapters!

    I wonder how they pick who gets the first batch. Launch edition? Early adopters. I’m not rushing to the post office.

    Ghetto method of powering the house with a Rivian

    Even licensed electricians screw up, if you don't understand it completely don't do it. For now all I want is to run my table saw. I'm willing to wait for Rivian to come out with a UL certified solution to using the truck as a house battery. Generac has a division devoted to house batteries-...

    Range Loss in Extreme cold temperatures … Great Job, Rivian!

    Maintaining the battery, or rather 7776 batteries. Hopefully keeping the 12 v batteries topped up. All the lithium batteries I have used lose charge over time. At one time Ford rangers were known for vampire drain which was a problem because they came with a motorcycle sized battery.

    Ghetto method of powering the house with a Rivian

    As i understand it the only thing keeping us (Rivian owners) from powering the house like a 220 v generator is the charger. Fords setup has a special two way charger and a transfer switch. When you plug in to fast charge the truck handshakes with the charger and allows the DC to flow into the...

    Range Loss in Extreme cold temperatures … Great Job, Rivian!

    Set the truck for shipping mode (service menu), close the app and resist to urge to frequently check the SOC. I'm parked in NJ for the month and check every few days, Vivian has settled down to 1%/day. But I left the charge cable and a HD 110V extension in the cab in case something weird...

    Range Loss in Extreme cold temperatures … Great Job, Rivian!

    Open the app and scroll down to climate, click the fan icon - it will heat up the cab and to an extent the battery. I would love to have a button just for "prepare the battery for travel" if enough of us request it from the guides it may become a feature. While your at it -ask for car play and...

    Range Loss in Extreme cold temperatures … Great Job, Rivian!

    Some people refuse to wear seat belts- they keep them buckled and sit on them when they drive so the sensor thinks they are buckled in and shuts up the warnings. As a rescue truck firefighter I go to quite a few accidents - the people who wear their seat belts survive low to medium speed...

    Should I drive my Dual Max R1T from IL to CA one day after picking it up in Normal?

    I like charge hub myself. Electrify America has some of the fastest chargers and many Walmart's have banks of them.

    Kneel Mode stresses suspension?

    My only complaint with kneel mode is the occasional “wait to move or suspension damage will result” which is a non starter on my way to a fire call.

    Is your experience with the Rivian GPS Nav as Bad as Mine has been?

    The only time I use the nav anymore is to trigger preconditioning. I use charge hub for planning routes and locating chargers. Google or Apple Maps to actually find something. (I also leave navigation to my WIFE 1.0 when travelling) I have had the nav try to send me out of town and back in to...

    Rivian Adventure Network Update - Billing to begin Early November

    If i ever see one I'll stop in to charge to support them. I guess we are not "Adventurous" enough in New England to rate any chargers... yet. I see two proposed locations - the closest is 165 miles away in Holyoke MA.

    Rivian cost cutting suggestion: Lose the camp speaker

    Very unimpressive. Difficult to connect to, sometimes disconnects immediately, not very long play time, operating system doesn’t hold a candle to my Oontz angle plus (connects on power up but doesn’t start playing until told to, better fidelity, long run time between charges), sound is OK but...

    Reason 1 why not to eat in your R1T or R1S

    I carry a mechanics gripper- a T handle with a button that opens a four prong claw at the other end. I have rescued mail, chapstick, pens, etc. but one piece of chocolate has melted all the way into the rug.

    Dual Motor EPA Certification Application (Reveals HP, Efficiency, Range, MPGe Figures)

    I would think that sounds like a weight loss thing.

    Rivian Provides (mild) Update on Dashcam and Power Tonneau

    Sorry, they shouldn't leave the 72 percent of the earths population who are android phone users out either. One would think they would want to make us all happy.
