I'm reposting an email I just sent to Rivian about a charging session I had yesterday at a Tesla SC where I was using the Tesla app. I have only had my used 2025 R1S for about a month so I am new to chargin the Rivian, or even paying for charging for that matter, but what happened here seems...

We've got an R1S that is a great great car for hauling kids and everyday driving. But I've also got a ModelY and I use the "FSD" (quotes intentional) a LOT. Yes, it's not 100% but it's FAR FAR better than anything else I've experienced from any other manufacturer. (And it's a 2020 model so not...

Yup, camera-only systems are the way to go… https://electrek.co/2026/02/16/tesla-full-self-driving-tried-to-drive-owner-into-lake-viral-video/

Fort Worth Projects Website Reports on Rivian's Plan to Build Parts Distribution Center Looks like Rivian is streamlining their parts distribution with their recent move in opening service centers in Texas. Can they compete with Tesla in Texas?

Trouble in paradise? https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/04/11/elon-musk-freezes-tesla-orders-in-china/

I just did a trip from Austin Texas to the Ozarks. I had heard that if you charger a lot, you can save money with a Tesla membership. So I signed up. My first 2 charges as I used the Tesla App, it threw an error. But I received an email from Rivian giving my charges and charging stats...

Did a quick search of the forum and did not see a similar thread. Keep in mind I am literally off my meds right now, so apologies in advance if this is all too crazy for you guys. I have never been a "throw the baby out with the bathwater" person. If Tesla prices are down, seems like a great...

Note: Question 9 in the Poll above should read: "I plan to buy a Rivian R2 (2026) or R3 (2027) with NACS charge-port. ***** This post is mostly aimed at folks still new to electric-car charging. Developing it helped me--and I hope will help others--better understand adapters required for...

Just thought I'd share a few of my thoughts since many of you are coming from a Tesla too. This is in no particular order and I know this can be a little picky but you should know. Current proximity locking sensor is wild. Unlocks and locks about 30-40 ft away. It's almost too strong. I dont...

Sound quality has always been a top priority for me when car shopping, and my latest addition—the 2025 Rivian R1S Gen 2—is no exception. Naturally, I didn’t hesitate to add the $1,750 “Premium Audio” option. However, as I mentioned in my previous article, the quality falls short compared to...

A brutally honest demo drive with a current Tesla owner. Had a lot of fun doing this one. He is struggling with the decision R1S Tri Max or Tesla Cybertruck. What do you think?

Currently, full-sized all-electric SUV/Crossovers available in the U.S. that will (comfortably?) seat up to seven include: Kia EV9 Mercedes-Benz EQS Rivian R1S Tesla Model X with new entries coming from Cadillac (Escalade IQ), Hyundai (Ioniq 7 Concept), Lucid (Gravity), Vinfast(?) (VF 9)...

A2Z nacs adapter for rent in SoCal. $20 per week, $200 deposit, balance returned upon unit return. Unit works great, take the edge of your next road trip. Pick up in Fullerton CA.

There’s a lot of discussion regarding taking up two parking spots in order to charge a Rivian at Tesla stations. I’m curious: do they make a level 3 extension cord? I’ve done a search but all of them seem to be level 2. Anyone have one? Where did you get it?

Hi Everyone, With Tesla's opening of supercharger access for Rivians opening up on the 18th, we were eager to get to a supercharger and experience the process. The pain here in Canada of Level 3 chargers is unberaable, and you'll see in the video we have some rather pointed words for the charge...

Hi everyone, I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Sasha Anis, and I am the founder of Mountain Pass Performance, based in Toronto Canada. Along with my team, we have become the leading performance aftermarket provider for the Tesla Model 3, with a catalog of performance parts nearly 100...

Tesla charging at RAN charger at Tru Hilton hotel in Naperville, IL. Didn't realize Rivian had opened up their chargers for other EVs already. Side note, currently charging my R1T at 7.6 kW ??

Trying to understand the reason for the difference in charging rates between the R1S and the Model Y. When you’re at home, both home chargers are 11.5 kW but the Rivian quotes 25miles/charged hour and the Tesla gets 44miles/charged hour. What’s the reason for the difference? Can Rivian catch...

First post, happy to be here! If I don't have a current reservation, what are my odds of being able to take delivery of a Rivian R1T in 2022? I'm seeing posts of trucks in inventory and people opting for them so I'm wondering what the possibility of being able to select one of those (or another...

OK, the title is a little tongue-in-cheek but check this out ... "If you want an electric pickup truck, you sort of don’t have any options right now because none currently exist for the public to buy, at least here in the U.S. There’s the Rivian R1T, of course, but it isn’t available yet. And...
