    No software update this month?

    I'd rather have smaller software updates more frequently. That way, if something in one goes wrong, its easier to fix, troubleshoot, or potentially, roll back.

    Warning - Safety Defect Found with Lectron NACS Adapter

    Would there be an arc if it wasn't unplugged under load? I would guess just stopping the charging session in your truck, on the dashboard, would stop drawing power, and therefore no arc. I haven't watched the video, so I don't know if people are stopping the charge first and then unplugging, or...

    NYC to DC: Favorite Charging Spots

    I would try to use the Rivian specific chargers (Christiana Delaware and Belcamp Maryland) over other brands, when possible, only because they are currently open to only Rivians, so much less of a crowd.

    Will Trade 2024 Lexus GX550 Overtrail+ for Rivian R1S

    Camp speaker pairing and charging problems

    You drove 100 miles for the camp speaker?!? Please say you were having other problems addressed also. I would get more use out of a slide out drawer (like the R2 has) than the camp speaker. I have other mobile Bluetooth speakers that seem better and easier to operate.

    Service center updates - Trenton and maybe SE PA

    I think I had mobile service in July 2023 and the tech said a NJ service center should be open early 2024. Not sure if that was the plan at the time or what he was hoping for. Last month I did a 2.5 hour trip each way for service (to Gaithersburg). Driving a total of 5 hours (plus service...

    R1S Software Update Suggestions

    When you open your app, scroll to the bottom. There is a “Share Feedback” option. No idea if it works or goes anywhere, but I would guess it’s a place to start for software requests. Or it just goes to their junk mail folder.

    Electrek - "Tesla Cybertruck teardown shows battery pack is ‘half empty’ and we are confused"

    Air pockets help with the buoyancy when crossing water obstacles. Genius.

    Very stupid question but I have to ask.

    I would not do it, but its not my truck. I also wouldn't add the yellow to the tow hooks or wheels, but some people here have. Their trucks, their money. I am curious if Rivian will "save" the yellow badges for the premium trim of future vehicles. Will the R2 get it, even though the top trim...

    Eclipse + Superchargers + Rivian = Chaos

    Off topic: Why should the scenery in a EV charging station look any different than a gas station? Why do you think EV users deserve better scenery that a gas station customer?

    Tesla can now deploy pre-fabricated Superchargers in a game-changing 4 days

    Are all EV manufacturers trying to get to "plug in and charge", and are all Charger manufacturers/providers trying to get to "plug in and charge"? I think a screen is necessary for universal use, unless each EV manufacturer allows the pricing/status to be displayed on the cars internal display...

    Tesla can now deploy pre-fabricated Superchargers in a game-changing 4 days

    Like I said, I want these things to be available as soon as possible. But this article is taking a victory lap about something that isn't even the limiting factor for getting stations active, if the permits and inspections take that long. I am sure doing as much construction at a factory as...

    Tesla can now deploy pre-fabricated Superchargers in a game-changing 4 days

    A Sheetz near me (Morgantown, Pennsylvania) just had a few Tesla chargers installed (around 6), I think it took about two weeks for construction. And they have had canvas covers over them for a week or so, still not available, and not listed on the Tesla website. So just because Tesla Public...

    Sport Mode vs. AT Mode efficiency?

    There is an automatic suspension mode. It lowers you to the low (not lowest) setting when you are at highway speeds, and then raises you back up when you are below freeway speeds. It will show an 'A' next to your ride level indicator. I usually keep it off though because I find the middle level...

    I feel like the maps and traffic are getting better...

    I no longer bounce all around the map like I used to at a red light, which would result in getting refreshed directions every time I stopped. One area that I see some problems on is on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, there highway will sometimes indicate short stretches of red, which I assume is...

    Vinfast valued higher than Rivian?! 🤦‍♂️

    What an absolute stupid clickbait title.

    YET ANOTHER 12V battery fail thread

    Your truck was delivered 900 years in the future, hence no warning. On a serious note, it does suck for the 12v battery to die. Mine died last summer, took close to 3 weeks for mobile service to come and replace them. I think I had a brief warning light a couple weeks prior, that cleared almost...

    Time to start R1 refresh rumors, perhaps!

    Do we really need another thread for this?

    Predicted range

    Not sure how they are currently doing things, or if it varies by service center, but I live about 140 miles from where I picked up (Brooklyn). When I picked up, my R1T was at 100% charge, they said they charged it to full so I could have no issues making it home, and I didn't. I recently picked...

    RAN Rivian Charging Stations Locations Map via Google Maps

    Maybe I haven't been paying close attention to them since most of them are pretty far from me, and I probably won't use them. And now I care since they are opening chargers I would have used on trips I've taken in the last year. Obviously more chargers are better, but locations in California...
