    Strategic ways not to block two Tesla stations

    I used this technique at a Magic Dock SC station last week. It only works if the left-most charger is available.

    Porche can sell you a car with 0-60 in 3.1 and a range of 233 miles for only $163,400K

    With the Turismo, you're paying for the Italian sounding name. Rivian could charge an extra $50k with some smart rebranding. Meet the R-Onennzo (trademark...call me Rivian). 😀

    Camping and sleeping in the R1S - a success story

    I love this idea of car camping. I'm trying to figure out if this is even possible with 2 adults and two 70 lb dogs. I think it would be a tight fit but at least we would have extra large size feet warmers.

    R1S Spare Tire?!

    The other thing to realize is the compact spare only fits in that tight space because it's deflated. The mobile tech that installed mine made it a point to emphasize the tire needs to be inflated after installing.

    Survey?

    Serious answer here- I got the survey today asking about my R1T, but I own an R1S. Plus, I just replied to this survey in March, so I deleted the email.

    Colorado Tax Credits

    My registration did not show the GVWR, but I didn't catch it when filing my return. CO Dept of Revenue declined the rebate. I mailed a dispute letter with a photo of the B-pillar data plate and am waiting to see if that will work.

    New Rivian Owner

    If you are close enough for mobile service, they can come to you and recalibrate your windows. That may fix both issues if it's a case of the window not fully closing against the gasket. A mobile technician did this for us during a service call to install our spare tire. The process took about...

    @ccharie , welcome to the thread and the Rivian community! Where in the car are you seeing the water leak?

    I had to look this up but @BrentInCO is correct. I knew the original v2 superchargers at the Starbucks in Silverthorne wouldn't be compatible, but assumed the new v3 chargers were. Not so according to the Rivian charging map. It's not the end of the world, but a little disappointing. We used...

    Winter Camping Gear Winners & Lessons!

    @Rexbo Excellent writeup! Thanks for taking the time to prepare this to such a great levelof detail. Having winter camped above 12,000 feet in the Rockies, I won't ever turn down a way to stay warm. And yet, the Bivy Suit photo did cause an image of Ralphie in his bunny pajamas flash through...

    Insertion/withdrawal tests of the A2Z NACS to CCS1 adapter

    There are no sure things in life except -death -taxes -someone asking for CarPlay at every update release, and -the sexual innuendo jokes after the publishing of an adapter insertion test video, followed by eye rolls and head shakes from female forum members. 😄

    RADIO NOT CONNECTING

    As of yesterday, my radio still works fine. When you say "powering off" do you mean you performed a 2-button infotainment reset? If not, that's what I'd recommend as the next step before making a service appointment.

    Resolved (my) excessive wind noise 2023 R1T (cause: corner window plastic trim)

    @Prime , thank you for this. I'm going to try it even though I think most of my noise is at the top of the windows. I definitely also have noise at the triangle windows. Did you pry open that trim to install the weatherstrip, or just slide it into the existing gap?

    Colorado Checking In

    Well, I finally found the limits of the 20" AT tires: 20+ inches of snow over a 2 inch layer of slush. I went to get my son out of a ditch and ended up getting stuck twice, sliding laterally off the road at about 5 mph. Big mistake in thinking we were done with snow and I could wait until next...

    Every time I charge at home…

    Come on, folks. Everyone knows you have to leave room for expansion when the electrons heat up. 🙂

    RAN charging report: 800+ mile pilgrimage to R2 (and R3) reveal using RAN chargers exclusively

    That's an impressive round trip efficiency. Are you on the 21" wheels? Were you in Conserve Mode where possible? Thanks for the report. I leave next week for my second 3600 mile round trip excursion. Unfortunately, I'll only see 2 RAN stations.

    For the Monument folks, the Discount Tire on Jackson Creek has Rivian pucks and seems familiar with proper lifting. The service tech said they are working on at least one Rivian per week.
