    This is why I no longer use the Rivian for Long Distance trips.

    Found this video on youtube. Not mine, but I've experienced the exact same scenarios on road trips. No fault of Rivian, same is true for any non-Tesla EV. With the Tesla superchargers supposedly opening up to Rivians this month (13 days left), should change the perception. But, after having...

    Throttle Pedal Recall & California Tire Mandate? Rivian very aggressive to get it done!

    I've been swamped and in and out of town, but Rivian literally calls DAILY to schedule me to bring my truck 1 1/2 hours away to the service center to address a throttle pedal recall. Apparently, something about, when stopped, the auto-hold doesn't always activate. Their latest messages however...

    UPDATE: Blackout lightbar decal added + applied vinyl to break up the controversial front end on my Rivian

    EDIT: Added photos now with the Abstract Ocean blackout lightbar with "RIVIAN" on it. Definitely looks better than just the lower portion being blacked out. Not sure I love the overall look yet, but it's better. Maybe now 50/50 on if I keep it. These should at least, remove any "mustache" talk...

    How long was I gone? Appreciate my R1T more after being without it....

    Naturally, when we have something, we tend to take it for granted after a while. My truck went in for service and was given a Mach-E rental car. Was a nice enough car. Better than I thought it would be. My same day service turned into about a month. Longest I recall being without any car I've...

    Truck won't connect to 5G or Wifi?? Also won't hard reboot.

    Noticed I wasn't able to play spotify first. Then got home and tried to connect to my Wifi and realized it wouldn't connect to 5g cellular or my Wifi. My phone app doesn't connect to the truck for the same reason. Tried a soft reboot, that didn't work. Tried a hard reboot and it tells me it's...

    RAN in Las Vegas is great! Quick charge to reach Barstow RAN - Higher MPH or Lower MPH??

    Not sure how long it's been open, but was pleasantly surprised to be guided to the Rivian Adventure Network charger at the south end of Las Vegas on my way out of town. Last time I was there a couple of months ago, it didn't come up. I think there were 8 chargers. There appeared to be another...

    AVOID PANOCHE RD (SHELL) EA CHARGER AT ALL COSTS!

    I posted in June about a trip to northern California where I used the Electrify America Charger at 46331 W Panoche Road, Firebaugh, CA (Shell Gas Station off of the 5 Freeway). I had previously tried it and was horrible. In June, I wasn't paying attention and got routed there again. Same...

    When 850 Horsepower just isn't enough!

    I didn't think much of it, but apparently an electric truck hauling around an ICE engine gained a lot of attention. Through my 575 mile drive today, had no less than 10 people ask if they could take a photo.

    Poll: Heading out on my longest one-day round trip this morning....754 miles door to door.

    I've had my truck for 14 months and completed a couple of 660 mile trips that were completed in moderate temperature climates. Usually average 2 miles per kw on 20" all-terrains. Most of this trip will be through soring temperatures above 100 degrees. This one today will be a 754 mile round...

    Rivian is a "Commercial Vehicle" in CA? Any Benefits??

    Just got my updated registration and noticed it's registered as commercial vehicle, which I understand is due to the weight. Am wondering if there any benefits to having a commercial vehicle versus a regular passenger vehicle? Besides them letting me pay $1,150 for my registration!! LOL

    UPDATED: FINALLY, A CENTER CONSOLE TRAY THAT FITS "PERFECTLY"

    FINALLY, A CENTER CONSOLE TRAY THAT FITS "PERFECTLY" Have tried at least 6 of these things. Just about all of them were tight on the sides and were tough to get in and out. Having to stretch the console lid doors to get them in or out. Most also had very small little tabs to hold them in place...

    Trying this new bed mat......Thoughts / Opinions??

    Just got this bed mat in today to replace the original one I had to cut to size. This one was cheap, but is custom made specifically for the Rivian. Please share any photos / links of bed mats you have tried and are happy with. Considered the EV1, but those hexagons look like they would catch...

    Rear Parking Sensors Off, is there a setting for this?

    My truck, when backing up or pulling forward and close to objects, as expected, brings up the proximity sensor display on the center cluster screen. For a while, have noticed that the rear sensor area says "off", which would be those in the rear bumper of the truck. All the others work properly...

    CA Registration Renewal Notice??

    Anyone in California receive a registration renewal notice? Realized it's been a year since I got my truck and I never got a renewal notice. Fortunately I remembered in time to avoid late fees. I tried to go online to renew the registration. Entered in the plate and last five of the VIN and it...

    TPMS stop working after driving around 30 minutes??

    Per a prior post, got my tire pressure sensors working again. However, am now having an issue where they disappear after about 30 minutes of driving. They reappear after the truck has been parked for a while and work fine for about another 30 minutes or so. Been consistently doing this. Prior to...

    Charging Error (charge cost reduced to $0.00) + Slow N. CA Charger

    Took a trip from L.A. to Northern CA this weekend. On the way up, stopped at the Kettleman City charger, which all appear to be newer 350kw chargers. Great charging experience. Charged to 80% in about 25 minutes. After having regular issues using the older 350kw chargers with the Rivian, happy...

    As low as it will go!!

    Weird sitting "down" into the Rivian rather than climbing up into it. Taken me a while, buy finally getting around to getting my tire pressure monitor sensors (TPMS) to work again. Had them working, but then had the wheels dismounted and new tires put on and they sat in the garage for a few...

    Rivian has Launch Mode......

    They just don't tell you that it does! Learned something new today, watching a review. While other companies advertise how to use their launch mode, it appears that despite Rivian not bringing attention to it, it does have a similar launch mode to a Tesla Model 3/Y or other cars. It doesn't...

    EV Sportline RMAXX Running Boards Installed on R1T Today! - Review / Feedback / Photos

    Happy to have the Running Boards installed by TSportline in Van Nuys. Guys were great. They did one install in the morning, which was the first they had done, but looked liked seasoned pro's installing mine. One hour and five minutes from start to finish. I was originally thinking I wanted to...
