Rivian Forums Owners Club - R1T Pickup and R1S SUV Forum

The Rivian Owners Forums are now back online! The forums were offline for awhile as can be seen by the legacy threads and member communications, but hopefully we can begin growing again and be a great outlet for all current and future Rivian owners without being force fed ads all in your face as other forums out there do.

    Charging Options

    Yes. The Tesla wall chargers should charge the Rivians with the adapter: http://www.umc-j1772.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=50. Be sure to get the 50A version. Note that I say "should" because this adapter has been tested with many J1772 vehicles but never a Rivian. Conversely...

    Panel displays

    I'm with you 100% on this. It's the same story with the Tesla. It has two thumbwheels on the steering wheel currently. A couple more for the brightness of the two displays would be most convenient and safe and there is plenty of real estate for them.

    Rivian Electric Truck — Deep Dive

    Range anxiety is a big concern in people approaching RV's for the first time. There are some tools that can help you to get familiar with this aspect of operating an EV, that is, they can give you at least a rough idea as to what to expect. abetterrouteplanner.com is a website at which you can...

    Servicing?

    Rivian reps at the Atlanta event assured questioners that service would be "white glove". It looks as if Ford will not be involved. From the reports I get the impression that, initially, it will be like Tesla's Ranger service i.e. they will be coming to us with a service van and, where...

    Charging Network Concerns

    Suppose the deal was that Rivian supported the Tesla network to the extent of the number of Rivian's that used it. E.G. were 0.5% of vehicles using the SC's Rivians then Rivian would contribute 0.5% to the SC expansion fund. I (a Tesla owner) would have no objection to that (perhaps because I'm...

    Servicing?

    As the president of the company recognizes the criticality of a strong support segment (and says so in the video) and as there is no evidence or rumor of the construction of Rivian service or dealership facilities and as the clock is running out (vehicles will supposedly be on the roads a...

    Charging Network Concerns

    I've pointed out elsewhere that the truck or suv is but one segment of the transportation system we are contemplating buying. The other two are the fueling segment and the support segment. Elon Musk was smart enough to understand this and, initially at least, put a lot into these other two...

    Electrical charging connections at home.

    Who knows what Rivian will supply with the vehicles or what charging accessories they will make available (i.e. will they offer something like the Tesla HPWC)? Taking the 48 Amp maximum at face value a circuit with a 60 A breaker wired to the EVSE with #6 THHN, THWN or SE would be required. If...

    Welcome package..

    I put down my $1K some time in January. Today, July 10, my wife went into the PO and came out with the announcement "You got a package from Rivian". It was the same print (nice) and letter as described by others here. So keep the faith. Eventually they come through.

    Rivian patent reveals R1T auxiliary battery that pushes range beyond 400 miles

    It appears that there is a single housing that contains both reduction gear assemblies for a wheel set and that the two motors bolt onto that somehow. Thus, from a distance, it looks like one big lump with two halfshafts emerging from it, though not anything like the neat rectangular shape shown...

    CarPlay

    Tesla provides some online music service (Slacker I believe), FM and satellite tuners (XM). Carplay is not, AFAIK, available on Tesla. And I believe that XM is not available on the 3 though it can be kluged up with blue ray/USB receivers. I hope that Rivien will, at least, supply the satellite...

    R1T Rear Window

    If this is place to post suggestions in the hope that someone from Rivian will see them then here's mine: The rear window seems to be a solid piece of glass. I'd like to see it replaced with a sliding arrangement like that on the Toyota pickups. Not to let air into the cabin but to make it...

    Rivian Says Its 400-Mile Models Will Cost Less Than $90,000

    Unless congress changes the law they should qualify for the $7500 credit until they sell 200,000 of them.

    Official Rivian Pre-Order Thread

    It can go somewhere else - in your garage. That's where my Model X spare is. And that's where it will stay until I go on a trip where Ranger service is iffy. You could, of course, move the spare to the bed if you wanted to use its compartment for extra protection (from elements or thieves).
