    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 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

    I mostly charge at home with the dedicated Rivian charger. Plug in every night to 70%. Scheduled 2-7am. Last night the charger disconnected and woke up to 52% SOC. Said something to the effect of the plug being to warm. Now itā€™s just ā€œCharging Slowedā€ and the plug feels very warm to the...

    Black Rivian Badges and Sunshade from Abstract Ocean

    In about 1.5 hours I got my black/yellow accent badges installed. Aside from removing the glue/tape from the original badges this was a breeze. I used some adhesive remover supplied by AO and their plastic scraping tool. Just about 10-15 mins of determination to get the old adhesive off In...

    Daily charging to 50%

    Is it better, worse, or irrelevant to charge to 50% daily vs 70%? I only use approximately 10% of my battery daily. Sometimes Iā€™ll use 20-30%. I still daily charge to 50% at home. Iā€™ll charge more if I need it ahead of a trip. Pertaining to battery health long term is there any benefit to...

    Rivian App has the wrong wheel configuration

    I believe this is normal for everyone. I have the black 22ā€™s. It would be super cool to have the app show the Rivianā€™s specific wheel package. Maybe make the 4 wheel combinations selectable in the app? That wouldnā€™t be a very difficult improvement to include on a future update. For what...

    Rivian Property Tax and Vehicle Registration

    Learned a $120 lessonā€¦ I delivered my R1T the last week of September. I traded my brand new 2022 GMC Sierra Denali after having owned it for 2 months. Since I had just purchased the GMC Sierra late Summer I paid my vehicle registration (tags) and property tax of approximately $1,100 for 12...

    Does battery percentage affect acceleration?

    More specifically is there a difference in 0-60mph, 30-60mph, etc. with a 50% battery v. 70% battery? 70-85-100%? I havenā€™t seen any reviews where acceleration was specifically measured as it relates to battery percentage. I havenā€™t charged more than 70% in the 2 weeks since delivery and Iā€™m...

    Green Light bar when charging should be color adjustable

    if Rivian could add the ability to modify the light bar color that would be super cool. Mostly for a cool party trick or the ability to turn in on when parked for tailgating, camping, etc. Since the light bar is both white and green do you think the colors are adjustable? If we could get...
