    How to Max out the acceleration bar?

    I'm pretty sure to max out the power you need to be in Sport, lowest suspension, and in firm to get all the pony's.

    YET ANOTHER 12V battery fail thread

    My 12V battery health is at 90% per Rivian. They can check. Does anyone know at what battery % the 12V batteries should be replaced? I agree with the OP. Rivian has got to do better with warnings and ability to charge/service these 2 small 12V batteries. Changing batteries should be as...

    Any recommendations on 22" Tire Replacement

    Excellent. Great to hear. Assuming no efficiency impact? I saw a Reddit post with someone saying a 25% efficiency hit with the ATā€™s, which is terrible. Got any pictures of those HTā€™s on your Rivian?

    Who has the HT version? Iā€™m also looking at the AT vs HT.

    Rivian app connectivity issues? Anyone else or just me?

    I havenā€™t had any issues with waking the R1. Rivian Service claimed to not have done anything about it as they were unable to duplicate the issue. I did end up with an iPhone 15 Pro while the R1 was in service. Works every time. So awesome. Perhaps it was a phone issue.

    Can we talk about Rivian Swag in the Gear Shop?

    I'll say it. OP is correct. $150 for a $40 hoodie is garbage. Keep telling yourself it's a "premium hoodie". EVERYTHING about a Rivian is expensive. Shameful really.

    Rivian app connectivity issues? Anyone else or just me?

    I had my Rivian at the KC Service Center for a week and they could not duplicate the issue. It worked everytime with their shop phones. They made sure it was asleep for hours and even overnight and it worked for them every time. I just got it back so I havenā€™t had a chance to try again. I...

    First big issue after 15k mi - can't change ride height

    The growing pains of a startup. Sorry to hear. Definitely be a deal breaker for some, but I agreeā€¦100% would do it all over again. The good news is Rivian continues to add and expand SCā€™s, however it will never be quick enough. Perhaps you can persuade Rivian into a mobile service visit...

    Crash test (using Rivian R1T) shows electric vehicles may overpower safety barriers

    Especially if it had a working tonneau cover. Such a waste.

    https://apnews.com/95a7275d935641b0990b92901b633e83 Short video showing a Rivian smashing through a safety barrier. Badass.

    Introducing RMaxx Running Boards & Rock Sliders for Rivian R1T / R1S from Team 1EV

    I reached out to EV Sportline about chipping paint on the running boards. I was told it was normal and they mailed me some touch up paint. Iā€™m thankful the quick response and willingness to send some touch up paint, but Iā€™m still annoyed. I had these for about a year now and approximately...

    Rivian charging temperature issues

    Canā€™t say for sure, but I think itā€™s just pressed on. I donā€™t have my R1T with me as itā€™s at the service center. I only have this picture I took the other day. If itā€™s threaded, then those threads might be stripped.

    Rivian charging temperature issues

    Iā€™ve just figured out why I have received occasional temperature messages when charging at home. I thought maybe one of my pins had melted or corroded. Turns out there is a little sliver color nipple that came off and lodged itself in my J1772 connector. Iā€™m waiting to see what Rivian wants...

    Rivian Wall Charger Keeps Dropping to reduced level

    Iā€™ve had a few occurrences of ā€œslowed chargingā€ these last several months. Had the vehicle stop charging due to the plug getting too warm. I have a ticket and an appointment with the service center tomorrow and hope to get a better opinion from the service tech. Here is my plug. I think I...

    Automatic Retracting Running Boards from Hansshow and EVBase

    Iā€™ve always had automatic running boards on my previous trucks. AMP Research or factory. They have all been great. I have the EV Sportline boards on my Rivian and learned that I donā€™t need automatic running boards. Had them for about a year now. They are huge, overbuilt, well designed, and...

    Rivian app connectivity issues? Anyone else or just me?

    Interesting. So did you have a complete communication failure through the app or partial? Sometimes it worked, but most of the time it did not? Thank you for the comment! I do have an appointment with the Kansas City Service Center and my issues have been well documented with the service...

    Rivian app connectivity issues? Anyone else or just me?

    Thank you for your reply. Sometimes when switching to Spotify it will fail to download. Switching off music and back to music usually refreshes something and it works. Fairly intermittent though.

    Rivian app connectivity issues? Anyone else or just me?

    My Rivian fails to "wake up" upon sending a command through the app. Most of the time, when I use the Rivian app I can never get my R1T pass the "waking" stage. I'll force quit the app or switch off Wi-Fi thinking that might help. It never does. Doesn't seem to matter if the truck is plugged...

    “Charging Slowed” message question

    Youā€™re talking about the actually 1772 plug or the wall charger?
