    Absolutely sick of Alexa's god-awful navigation

    Is it just me? Or can Alexa / MapBox not ever find anything? Voice assistant is supposed to save time / keep hands on wheel while navigating, but is absolutely infuriating. For example, I asked it to go to the UPS Store. I'm literally parked in front of the store and it's telling me to go...

    Does Rivian work with Tesla Supercharger outside the US?

    Dumb question but I haven't seen it posted elsewhere. Can a Rivian with the Tesla adapter charge at a Tesla "Supercharger" station in China? How 'bout in Europe?

    267 Dulles Toll Road Tuesday 3/12/2024 9:00pm - Are you in here?

    Saw this Rivian passing me last night in Northern Virginia, 267 Dulles Toll Road westbound, 9:00pm 3/12. Looks like there's something wrong with your tailgate light (only half lit up). Just wanted to post here in case someone is not aware. Since you can't exactly see it while driving:

    I don't miss this at all

    I know our Rivian's have their own unique set problems and challenges that come with ownership. But I'm still in a whole bunch of Chevy truck forums, and just wanted to say I don't miss this at all. 😂🤣

    Look what others are paying for software updates

    Guys, I just needed to share this. Considering all the "doom & gloom" lately, another post about Rivian's software architecture reminded me of this screenshot a few days ago in one of the Chevy forums: There was dozens of comments but long story short this guy's truck needed a software...

    Sat in a Lucid last weekend...

    Spent a bit of time at the Lucid showroom in Tysons Corner (VA) last weekend. After owning a Rivian for the past year I wasn't super-impressed. I didn't see any apps on the radio (like how we have Spotify, Tune-In, etc.), and the thumb-wheel thingys on the steering wheel felt klunky. Also...

    Accelerator pedal squeaking?

    I seem to have developed a slight intermittent "squeak" which appears to be coming from the top of the accelerator pedal somewhere. Before I turn the cats loose in there to look for mice or begin spraying WD-40 wildly over everything, has anyone had this issue before? What'd you use and where...

    Truck started unlocking itself since Jan 1?

    I really hate to post another thread about PaaK / proximity unlock, but have noticed since yesterday (January 1) my truck randomly unlocked itself several times sitting in the driveway out front. Once I was in the garage and heard it (truck chirped outside of garage), the other times I saw it...

    Any apps with drag & drop route planning?

    Piggybacking off some of the recent threads about "what apps should you have", are there any route planning apps that allow drag & drop planning? Like you can do with google maps on a desktop? I mean like this: Not just dragging stops on a list. 😉 Tia!

    Virginia - VA Mileage Choice program

    Just saw this on an unrelated forum. Has anyone signed up for this yet with their Rivian? Aside from some of the usual "data privacy issues" (giving another 3rd party access to your vehicle location data) it seems pretty straightforward. Uses vehicle telematics, a couple clicks and one...

    Look at those panel gaps

    Just kidding. 😜 Although this model maker's choice of colors is *ahem* interesting. Reminds me of early 1980's CGA graphics. 😜

    VANGUARD VGPDB-1919BK Black Powdercoat Classic Double Layer Hitch Step installed

    Have been looking at products to "up armor" the rear of my truck. Was dissatisfied with the fit of the "Go Rhino" bar. Trying the "VANGUARD VGPDB-1919BK Black Powdercoat Classic Double Layer Hitch Step" now. The included anti-rattle clip did not fit (same problem I had with the other bar)...

    Can you unlock truck with a watch?

    Dumb question. Too lazy to google or go down a Reddit rabbit-hole right now. I got one of those "Pixel Watch 2"'s with my Pixel 8 Pro purchase (the WiFi version, not the LTE version). Figured I'll probably gift it for Christmas since I never wear a watch. But -- can you lock and unlock truck...

    Interesting comment about tire tread wear

    Had my tires rotated up at the Gaithersburg (Maryland) SC yesterday, along with addressing a few other minor warranty items. 5,300 miles. Figured while I was going up there for other stuff I'd pay the $60 bucks to have that done, as well. Then blew my budget buying Rivian merch from the...

    Guys, I have a 😸 problem

    How do I get my cats to stop jumping on the roof of my Rivian? I think this guy is taking the old club sign for "Stage" a little too literally. 😹

    Central PA - Williamsport area - Any fast charging tips?

    Some unwanted ish has come up and we may be finding ourselves in Central PA much sooner than we desired. Saw a lot of slow chargers but kind of a desert for faster ones. Any tips or suggestions? Anything obvious I'm missing? Looks like about 42 miles one way to the one in Bloomsburg. Ouch.

    Go Rhino Universal Hitch Step for 2" Receivers (accessory) installed review & photos

    I had one of these on my old Chevy truck. Actually, I had two of them. The first one got mangled when I was rear ended by some 🤡 in an F150 who was texting & driving and hit me at a stop light. But it absorbed all the damage and protected my vehicle. Given we've all seen the threads about...

    AVS (Lund) Aeroskin hood protector for Rivian (accessory) installed review & photos

    I had one of these for my old Chevy and liked it a lot (looks and protection). Ordered one when I saw they were available for Rivian. First one arrived damaged (FedEx folded it in half during transport, thanks FedEx 😑). After a few emails to customer service they sent me a replacement...

    First time I ever used the Bluetooth speaker

    To preface, my community has a big problem with trash everywhere. Someone suggested a speaker for community trash pickup day. Rivian to the rescue! We just tossed it in the cart and carried it along with us so we had tunes while we picked up trash. 😆

    Article on CEO compensation

    Not sure if this has been posted before. Just sharing for the RJ reference: "CEOs at fellow EV startups aren’t making anywhere near Rawlinson’s total compensation, either. Rivian Automotive CEO Robert Scaringe earned roughly $1 million in 2022, even though his company is now worth over $22...
