    Running Board Install - Plastic Piece Off or On?

    I am thinking of getting DCE since they claim that it already covers the part it used to be covered. Do you feel like this wasn't the case? You already said it's mostly for aesthetic purposes, but curious if there is any other reason.

    AC / Level 2 charging speed drops after few minutes on warm days

    Glad that you asked. I checked the temperature of all the points - plugs, cable, charger brick, receptacle. No place the temperature was more than 110F. Ambient temperature was about 80F.

    AC / Level 2 charging speed drops after few minutes on warm days

    Unless there is a long drive, I always charge to 70%. I usually don't charge every day, charge when the SoC drops below 40%. So, pretty much always it has to charge 4 hours+.

    AC / Level 2 charging speed drops after few minutes on warm days

    Since I got my R1S in early December, I have been using a Lectron 40A charger. There were no issues initially. After a while, I found that occasionally charging suddenly stops after an hour or less. I filed a ticket and Rivian told me they can't investigate since it's a 3rd party charger. If I...

    Rivian as sole vehicle?

    Moved from Hyundai Palisades to R1S 6 months and it’s the primary ride for everything, including long drives. My wife has a car for commute but that’s purely for commute, we don’t even use that for short grocery run. R1S also offers more space.

    How noisy is your front end?

    Exact same sound coming from my 6 mo old R1S. It wasn't there when I got it. In my case this only happens when on standard ride height, not on conserve or sports mode where default height is lowest. Talked to the support. They put the concern in my next service appointment which is coming next...

    Regen Brakes Auto Disable on steep road?

    I live in a hilly area and happened to me a lot. I have the similar assumption and pretty sure it has nothing to do with cold battery, outside temp etc. From my house freeway is 1.5 miles away and steep downhill for about 1 mile. If I go all the way down, the car always reduce the regen towards...

    12 volt frunk power outlet is back! > in my just-delivered 2023 R1T (mid 18000 VIN)

    I don't have a frunk outlet. 14xx R1S delivered in December '22. But I have a Ecoflow River Pro which can run my portable refrigerator for 1.5 days straight even when doing freezing and can be charged to full with an ac outlet in about an hour and 12v is still active (supports pass through...

    Official Rivian Outage Notification: “Phone as a key” is down

    Haven't gone through all the messages. I have used the car several times today, haven't opened the app on my phone (I mean it was running the background, but didn't open to see), and had no issues at all. But it's risky that app can sign out on relaunch. Possibly it's there as a safety measure...

    How many KW is the new dual motor max pack?

    Max pack was supposed to be 180kwh when they declared first. You can't just compare the battery size with range since larger battery also means more weight to move.

    Maybe some pole or tree fell on it? The battery pack, motors, and wheels should be all in good condition.

    Rivian maps are the worst if there is any traffic

    I do the same thing and turn on audio for one of those based on which one I want to follow! It does occasionally shows which roads are busy but I am guessing they gets the data from some other R1 in the area. We just have to wait for more Rivians on the road to know which roads are busy.

    Software Version 2023.02.0 [beta] -- Improved EPA range, key fob firmware, new door ajar notification, steering improvement & more...

    This happened couple of times and the door was unlocked for the whole time. Partly it was our fault but the doors are heavier and require more force to close. My previous car's app (Hyundai) used to send me a notification if I left the door open.
