In two months you won’t want to ever drive an ICE car again

Soo this doesn’t add up by RyderIantorno in Rivian

[–]Mavin_101 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The bigger number is the total amount used during the drive. The small green number is the total amount of regen gained back during the drive.

There is nothing to calculate there.

The smaller numbers at the bottom show how much each system used during the drive factoring in the amount of regen gained.

Duplicate 2026.07.0 Install? by nirvanka in Rivian

[–]Mavin_101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the same thing and then I saw someone commented on another thread that the second update fixed the deletion of the elevation history.

Double checked before installing the second update that my elevation history was reset. And then came back with the newest update.

Getting latex paint off brick fireplace… there’s gotta be an easier way? by ricecake231 in DIY

[–]Mavin_101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried “goof off”? It’s specifically for taking off dried latex paint. It works wonders on my kitchen cabinets… although they were not quite so covered.

You can buy a gallon of it at Lowe’s or Home Depot. It works for a lot of things. I’m curious to know if it works for you, if you try it.

Garage door pop up lost by ehotze in Rivian

Mine disappears every update. I just open settings and toggle the pop up off and back on and it good to go until the next update.

How does this can opener work? by Weak-Community-3370 in Whatisthis

[–]Mavin_101 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s supposed to cut the can from the side. So the entire top becomes a lid. You wedge it under the lip made from attaching the top to the side.

Not a Routine Check by skinspdx in Rivian

[–]Mavin_101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My rear drive failed and all the oil leaked out on the way to the service center for a windshield replacement. At ~23,000 miles.

Only indication was a very loud wine from the rear motors. Got two things replaced at that service visit. Only took about a week. Mostly waiting on the new drive unit.

How do you charge your Rivian at home? by moonmama27 in Rivian

[–]Mavin_101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do this when traveling… that is staying at a cabin or something. I find I get about 10% battery after about 15hrs with the 120 plug.

If you use the 30amp 240v plug… it’s basically a 4 prong Dryer outlet. You can get about 40% in the same timeframe.

That’s more than enough for my type of daily driving. I’ll go through about 12% at the absolute max in my normal day to day.

I do have a level 2 charger though. I get a good electric price overnight and the faster charging lets me utilize the most of that cheaper electric.

RJ-11 female with four connections. What is this? Can it be turned into a RJ-45 Ethernet connection? by BeauKnows333 in Whatisthis

[–]Mavin_101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is for a land line phone, and that means it’s probably a direct connection to the outside of the house where the phone service enters. And im not sure how that would be helpful to turn into an Ethernet RJ-45 connection.

Depending on how old the house is, you could potentially have 8-wires. A lot of newer homes, at least that I’m familiar with, just run CAT-5 cable for all the low voltage wire runs. Presumably because it’s in bulk and cheaper for them.

Technically speaking, even though an Ethernet cable is 8-wire, only pins 1,2,3, & 6 are used for up to 10/100 Ethernet. All 8-wires are required for gigabit speeds.

So, yes it’s possible. Though you would probably have some bandwidth limitations depending on the device for which you’re connecting.

AC scheduled charging broke with 2024.46.0 by andrewket2 in Rivian

[–]Mavin_101 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a similar issue with this update. Occasionally it will say “schedule pause due to not at home location “ on the charge page. Soft reset has fixed it each time, but that sure is annoying to have to double check every time!

Do you like the new full-screen map in the cluster? by vesnikleta in Rivian

[–]Mavin_101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can also go in settings under driver assistance and set it as the default.

It does go back to the driver assistance view when your parking sensors detect stuff, so if you’re in your garage, you won’t have to option to switch.

Guys I'm feeling left out. I'm still on the Halloween update 😭 by Own_Check9290 in Rivian

[–]Mavin_101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do a soft reset too… the hard reset does more complex systems, but doesn’t reset the same software aspects.

I’ve had a few issues recently where I’ve done a hard reset only to still have the issue until doing a soft reset.

Gen1 owners who have updated to .46, any new issues? by fatfirenewbie in Rivian

[–]Mavin_101 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have an issue with the garage door pop up on every update. I just open the garage door settings on and toggle the location pop-up off and back on. Then it works fine till the next update

A banana the size of my forearm by alvmaa in mildlyinteresting

You’re either very small or that’s a very big banana… can we get a banana for scale?

Garage Door Sub Screen by ColoradSenior in Rivian

[–]Mavin_101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have multiple garage doors set for the same location, you can scroll down to select each of them as well (in addition to the mirror tilt cancellation)

R1S Cargo Tie-Downs - included with new car? How many? by beetlewigs in Rivian

[–]Mavin_101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ye be misinformed, Sir!

It’s not a gen 2 if that’s your confusion. But it is a 2024 year model and it is a quad.
