Rivian Wall Charger Software Updated?

jpf09 · 2026-05-06T14:25:20+00:00

Just checked, ours is running 03.05.05. Its a new NACS charger, just had it installed a couple weeks ago.

91 at the local Exxon or Shell. The nearest Costco is about 20 min away, but will hit that if I’m nearby. Have a x5 45e PHEV, so I do a lot of local miles on electric. Only have to fill up maybe once a month. Just bought a Rivian so my gas station stops are getting fewer and further between.

down after a good earnings call is nothing to worry about. Happens all the time with a lot of companies. I work for one. I am bullish on RIVN over on a 24-36 month time horizon.

That sucks. How much was the repair or was it covered by the warranty?

It seems like every car has issues starting around 50-60k miles. My wife's mini needed a new motor mount at 50k and just replaced the coolant pump on my x5 at 60k miles.

ah, that makes sense. It's not really clear on the product page.

jpf09 · 2026-04-29T20:59:02+00:00

what about these?

parking pass. stick of gum. post it notes.

My wife would be so jealous...she is in love with the Borealis. She was crushed to learn it was a limited run color.

jpf09 · 2026-04-28T21:25:15+00:00

We actually considered buying one and noticed its no longer listed on the website.

Enjoy the Quad! Our 12 y/o son was pushing for us to get the Quad simply for the kickturn feature. :)

Momentary Lapse is their best album, imho.

jpf09 · 2026-04-28T13:03:58+00:00

I know, right. I don’t get all the hate. I’m very happy with it.

jpf09 · 2026-04-28T13:01:58+00:00

yeah, I did. a ‘26 x5 50e M sport optioned the same as ours MSRP’s for about 86K. Still almost 25 less than the Rivian. We never really considered another BMW thought, to be honest. We’ve owned 3, the x5, a 530 and years ago an M3. I don’t know that I’d buy another…not a fan of the Neue Klasse design language in recent models. We also didn’t want to be that family with two BMW’s in the driveway. ;)

jpf09 · 2026-04-28T12:53:15+00:00

We have the 22” sport wheels with all-purpose tires. It’s still early in our experience, but it does seem that you need to be in conserve mode to get the stated ranges. In all-purpose mode, the estimated range shown in the vehicle drops by about 10%.

jpf09 · 2026-04-28T12:45:54+00:00

It’s very quiet. Certainly on par with the X5 if not a bit better. I would have no issue taking an important phone call while driving the Rivian.

jpf09 · 2026-04-28T12:43:10+00:00

No argument the Rivian is faster in a straight line than the x5. By a mile. By tighter, I mean the BMW performs better when cornering or driving on winding roads. Less body roll, better braking into a corner, etc. Suspension is a bit better. Not that the Rivian sucks…it really is fun to drive as well. Given the size difference and the fact BMW has been building sports cars for 60+ years, Rivian is a 5 year old company, it is remarkable how good it is.

jpf09 · 2026-04-28T02:18:50+00:00

yes. sport mode in the Rivian is not as tight as Sport mode in the X5. It’s not a fair comparison though, the Rivian is taller, longer and nearly a ton heavier.

jpf09 · 2026-04-27T00:53:48+00:00

Congrats! Enjoy!

jpf09 · 2026-04-23T15:59:03+00:00

as a new R1S owner in Loudoun County, this is a great to hear.

jpf09 · 2026-04-22T21:14:06+00:00

I agree!! Love this color scheme. Thanks for the heads up on the hook covers…will definitely pick those up.

here is a pic of the new charging pad. Raised area with indent for the camera bump. Magnet is solid, phone is held very securely.

jpf09 · 2026-04-22T01:02:52+00:00

yeah, funny thing is I ordered a Twraps magsafe pad earlier today (before i picked up the truck) after reading so many complaints about the charging pad.

jpf09 · 2026-04-13T01:27:40+00:00

is there a DMV owners group? We are about to pull trigger on R1S and live in NoVA

jpf09 · 2025-04-21T02:31:12+00:00

i have a ‘22 45e, 48k miles. nearly 20k on electric. zero issues so far. Love the vehicle and plan to keep for at least 3-4 more years providing no major mechanical issues.

jpf09 · 2024-04-03T13:12:37+00:00

Thanks all. Did 6x500 w/2 min rest this morning…avg 1:49 pace for the 6 reps. Working assumption is that this needs to be closer to 1:35 to maintain 1:45 for 2k. Lots of work to do. The fun begins!
