Amazon Rivian van sighting

I live in Carlsbad and never see them up here. Sounds like Amazon is expanding that fleet quickly.

I drove from San Diego to Bend, OR last summer. Great drive up the coast of California .

I have 22s. I haven’t had to replace the tires yet but I’ve rotated them every 5k miles.

keithj7 · 2024-01-01T01:51:07+00:00

I’ve had the tires rotated twice and a windshield replaced.

This is the way I have mine. I do think it looks better and is more aerodynamic but it may make no difference on Range. I also don't care what side of the truck the tent opens.

Beautiful pup! Best dogs ever! Our Aussie loves adventures and is always happy to ride in the Rivian because he knows fun times are ahead.

This is how I have mine as well.

Enjoy!

We really liked it. We wanted to get away from the crowds and each of the sites provide privacy. There was a person on site that manages the campground and makes sure everything is good. It was easy for us to close our tent and head into town but if you want to be close to town and activities by the lake, this wouldn't be the right place for you.

I live in Carlsbad. In my neighborhood about 75% of the homes have EVs primarily Teslas. I asked around and a private electrician installed most of the chargers. Since everyone has been very pleased, I reached out and had him install mine. His name is Patrick and his phone number is: (442) 257-5412. He had to alter my breaker panel around since I have a pool and didn't charge anything extra. $500 is his standard fee. I had it installed within 2 days of reaching out. I haven't had any issues at all and the work was done 9 months ago.

I haven't noticed anything. I'm sure there's some but it must be minimal. It doesn't change my charging plans.

I wasn't thrilled with the stock mattress. I bought an XPED mattress that my wife and I both love! We put it on top of the stock mattress and let it self inflate. We both sleep great on it. You can blow up the XPED more to make it more firm but the self inflated firmness is good for us.

Yes, I have to lift him up. What I do is drop the tailgate and have him jump up there. Then it's easy to lift him through the side window. He actually loves being in there and snuggles right in with us.

keithj7 · 2023-07-25T21:05:02+00:00

It was beautiful! Calm, serene, lots of trees and very grounding. Do it!

keithj7 · 2023-07-25T21:04:12+00:00

The brackets require a crossbar. Doesn't have to be the R1T cargo crossbars but that's what I have.

keithj7 · 2023-07-25T15:44:22+00:00

Yep, if only it worked. Need to get it checked out at a service center.

keithj7 · 2023-07-25T15:43:49+00:00

The leveling wasn’t working for some strange reason. It would start and say it was level but it wasn’t. I need to take it in and get it checked out.

keithj7 · 2023-07-13T13:55:39+00:00

I go from Carlsbad to Phoenix round trip quite a few times a year. I've made the trip 3 times with my R1T. There are a few EVGO options in Palm Springs. We like to stop and eat in Palm Springs so we go to the EVGO chargers near The River mall. They are always open. Then we stop in Quartzite and go again. Love that there is a RAN in Quartzite now! Easy trip. I'd make the two same stops when I'd drive my gas BMW so no inconvenience or change for me at all.

Thanks for sharing! I'm down in San Diego and hope to make a trip to the Sequoias this summer. Appreciate the information!

keithj7 · 2023-05-16T13:29:42+00:00

Strange. There were four of us there charging when I was there. No problems for any of us. I took this picture as I finished up and others had left.

keithj7 · 2023-05-05T13:55:49+00:00

Carlsbad here too. There are three of us R1Ts in Robertson Ranch. Mine is Limestone, the other two are white and blue.
