I have been taking a look at the new Rivian dispensers and I can’t seem to understand the strategy of the RAN network. I can understand why Tesla built their’s out - there was no existing network and they needed the charging network to exist in order to sell the cars. And they had a bunch of tax...

Does anyone know of jump starters that are powerful enough to wake a dead Rivian 12v? I had my Tesla completely die on Saturday and it was a major PITA getting it resolved - so I want to be proactive and prepared with the Rivian. I will have tools in either a license plate holder or hitch...

Was reminiscing on some of the previous R2/R3 promotional material and remembered some of the cool additions to software advertised (ultra dark mode, better nav UI, etc) and shown in the R2/R3 demos (obviously closed environments but by the looks of it fully prototyped solutions). Any info out...

I wanted to post this to get a few opinions from others. It looks like the Autonomy+ trial will be ending soon. As far as I know, the only two features exclusive to Autonomy+ (and not included in the standard autonomy package) are Lane Change on Command and hands-free driving on select highways...

So, first off, I won't be doing any crazy rock crawling. However, I plan on visiting my sister and there are some rough roads around where she lives and sometimes they get extremely rutted/dug out on some of the steep climbs. What sort of performance difference should I expect between dual and...

First off, the updated system is a night-and-day improvement compared to what it was before—it’s hard to believe it shipped in its earlier state. Overall, I’m happy with the results and glad it’s finally been fixed. It’s no Mark Levinson, but if this had been the original version, I don't think...

Not sure if this is already possible as I haven't noticed an option for it yet, but it's a little frustrating sometimes that the proximity sensor view pops up on the driver screen (instead of potentially on the center screen) when I'm parking, because turning the wheel just completely obstructs...

Has anyone ever had an issue while charging on RAN the motors heat up? RAN Charger 2B Right front 100 degrees Left front 70 degrees Both rear motors 80 degrees As soon as I stopped charging the motors started cooling down, battery temp was 89 degrees. Right front turned orange. I only...

The graph above shows the % of vehicles that each automaker sells that are made in the US. The lower the percentage the more they are affected. The graph really does very little to show the real effect. Rivian will be affected because some of their parts and some materials are not made in the...

Just yesterday, I had this incident were my car was dented by a bike rider. I reached out to a mobile repair and I was quoted $3,500 to repair this deep scratch and dent. A little higher than I expected, but I’ve never really had to do it before. Also, any concerns about doing it mobile vs a...

Ever since I got my R1S, I've noticed that the battery range estimation hasn't been the best. Driving a Tesla for the last 3 years, it never had this kind of issue. During my last trip, the driver display shows 255mi remaining. My total trip (including 2 destinations) is 160mi so I believed I...

It’s rare that I ever run in to a person ICEing a charger while they’re at their vehicle. The few times I have, I’ve very politely mentioned that these are for electric vehicles to charge, don’t demand they move (and only even ask if all other stalls are full.) On Friday, at a RAN, a Sprinter...

This isn’t a serious issue or has ever been a serious issue but basically, this happens only when the car is asleep and I approach it. There is this particular sound that comes right before the suspension clicking sounds irrespective of whether I unlock it or not. For context: I have disabled...

So this is something that occured way back during the winter holiday season. I had what I did consider back then as a weird issue. Background: On that particular day, we had a couple of inches of snow and just as always I ignored it as there was so little. This results in the snow packing down...

I was looking for a solution on how to reset a door window that won’t close completely. My Gen 2 R1S has had a little wind noise for a couple of days, after trying the typical solutions with the header panel gap, triangle window gap, etc I saw that the window itself was the issue. It stops about...
