  1. 2025 Rivian Halloween Mode Update teaser

    Meh. I’ve seen better comments. ;)
  2. How big of a deal is “clunking” as R1S dual motors engage/disengage?

    i had a similar issue for a couple of weeks that seemed to start out of nowhere. It was a maddening jolt when slowing down at about 10-15 mph. fortunately I tried a vehicle (not infotainment) reset and it went away immediately.
  3. Pushed the limit too far today towing long distance

    I had issue a couple of weeks ago driving in the SW. temp was in the high 90s and was driving for a bit on highways in town (not towing though) in the middle of the day. Decided to stop for a DCFC at Rivian station, and all went well, even getting 220 kW speeds. Then I start to drive away and...
  4. What Are You Hauling (or Hauled) in your Rivian? 🦾

    5 Stalls blocked. I think you win! šŸ˜‚
  5. Wow! 11 more RAN stations added to RAN map - 17 in total!

    That station has been under construction for 1 year now. The transformer was finally installed a few months ago but they can’t seem to get the stations turned on?
  6. Lost rear drive under acceleration

    Just wanted to give an update with somewhat happy news. Picked up my R1S over the weekend, and the SC said that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle mechanically. The notes state "RIDE Programming and Calibration (15 minutes)". From what I understand, over the last few software updates...
  7. R1T major battery issue (53 days-the saga continues)

    I'm sorry to hear about your issues. My R1S had something similar at about 9500 miles this past weekend. It was my rear motor that had the issue, but I was able to drive about 60 miles home at highway speeds. It's been towed to the SC now and awaiting diagnosis. Good luck with the repairs...
  8. Lost rear drive under acceleration

    Thank you! I ended up calling the support number this morning and got a really helpful person - Dwayne. We got a tow scheduled for Wednesday and they got me into a rental in the meantime. He followed up to make sure I got the Lyft credits to get to the rental office and give me more...
  9. Lost rear drive under acceleration

    Thanks for the note about the 10k jump. I've never bought an extended warranty on any vehicle before and typically haven't kept any beyond 7 or 8 years. Starting to consider the extended warranty before I hit 10k. But also considering either a new Gen 2/3 when this warranty expires, or move...
  10. Lost rear drive under acceleration

    Thanks. I’m surprised that they thought a mobile service appointment would be able to resolve this, unless the vehicle diagnostics show something that they aren’t telling me. Waiting for a Rivian human reply after the weekend.
  11. Lost rear drive under acceleration

    That was my thought more than once while driving around town today. It was like driving in chill mode and I really had to step harder on the accelerator to keep up with traffic. Or maybe driving in conserve mode all the time?
  12. Lost rear drive under acceleration

    Thank you! It didn’t quite feel like a rumble strip and felt more like the rear motor just stopped working. But I will bug them for an earlier appointment because it just doesn’t give me a great feeling that I can continue driving for weeks before it gets serviced.
  13. Lost rear drive under acceleration

    Just curious if anyone else has had this issue. It happened to me on a drive back home on the highway from a camping trip last night, in a 2024 Gen 1 R1S. I had it in ACC, at about 80 MPH, and then heard a clunk, and the turtle mode icon and the one with the 4 wheels showed up. It was...
  14. 2024.43.0 Update now in UAT (User Acceptance Testing)

    Yeah, I owned one until we got the Rivian. The software worked, and after 3 years, we got maybe 3 updates. Each one was to provide the ability to get future updates. The first had to be done at the dealership, requiring almost a week’s wait. The other two actually were OTA. For the most...
  15. Charge to 70% or 80% ?

    From a slightly different point of view, I believe that Rivian doesn’t have any buffer in the battery’s capacity. So 100% is really 100% as it is with Teslas. Charging to 80% is probably fine, but even with 70%, you get over 200 miles of range, which for most daily use, is more than enough...
  16. Jealous of Idaho, but found future RAN charging station in Albuquerque, New Mexico

    That is sometimes me… Looks like Rivian did their part, and just need PNM to install the transformer. But I suppose that now that they’ve removed the fence…. s00n?
  17. Today I F***ed Up - Range Cockiness

    Haven’t had these adventures in our Rivian yet, but had 2 close ones with a Tesla Model Y: 1) Towed a teardrop trailer approx 120 miles each way. Pre-tested towing on shorter trips, and planned it perfectly in ABRP. Going there, made it with lots of battery to spare… coming back, well, didn’t...
  18. Just confirmed NACS adapter shipping

    There’s no rhyme or reason. My delivery was 05/24 (yes, 2 monts ago). I got the confirmation email on July 2nd but didn’t want to rub it in everyone’s faces…
  19. What to get to wash my R1T / hardware, not chemicals

    In my experience, the non-salt ones don’t actually work. Idea sounds good but seems like a scam. They still left hard water spots on my faucets and shower. I ended up ripping mine out and put in a salt-based softener. But I use potassium pellets rather than sodium.
