  1. Vampire Drain Relating to Frunk Trim -- my solution to reduce drain %

    OTA did nothing for this issue. I am trying this method. I see about 3% every 8-12 hours, which for a car sitting in a garage doing nothing is not "within spec." Service tech was at my location today and said 4-5% loss a day is expected... not by any other manufacturer or anyone with common...
  2. Official Rivian Stories: R1T SOFTWARE UPDATE DETAILS - English - Version 2023.02.03

    vampire drain still an issue with new update. Rivian service says 4% is normal still. I am going to try to "remove plastic piece from frunk" trick to see if that helps.
  3. Wind Noise

    I can hear wind noise, but not sure it's worse than my other cars, or if it's just cause I can actually hear it without the engine. Now, when I put my Rivian roof rack on, that's another story. That thing whistles like crazy.
  4. Counterpoint to the onslaught of negative points

    I've had my R1S for 2 weeks, and it gets better every day. When I look at my friends and coworkers trying to get Tellurides, Pilots, and other "regular" cars that are now going for 65-75K (there is a Sequoia listed near me for 105K!!) I am really happy to be where I am with my new R1S. Can't...
  5. Ride quality R1S vs R1T? Should I be worried about reviews?

    I haven't driven my R1S a lot yet (just got it last Saturday), but it is pretty bouncy. I tried All-purpose High rather than the medium setting, and that seemed to reduce the bounce a lot - a much smoother ride. And on sport/stiff; forgetaboutit. The family did not like that at all. I think...
  6. R1S : Oct-Dec Delivery (Now Jan-Feb or Feb-Mar 2023)

    Update: my LE r1s was delivered this Saturday from Richmond! March 2019 to January 2024. LG/FE 20a/t underbody. They did forget my storage hooks and there are a few alignment issues, but other than that seems great!
  7. R1S : Oct-Dec Delivery (Now Jan-Feb or Feb-Mar 2023)

    Okay... I got an email to "confirm my configuration" and 15 minutes after confirming, I got 2 emails. the first "time to purchase" and second "guide assignment." Pretty awesome, but also shocking! I can't even talk to my guide until after Christmas. Do you all know if I have some kind of...
  8. R1S/Chicago IL to Potomac MD Delivery Roadtrip/EA Charger Gremlins

    3/19 LE R1S LG/FE 20a/t in NOVA here - across the River in McLean. Rivian hasn’t contacted me once except with general delay emails. If they called and said we’ve got a rivian blue truck with your name on it, I’d certainly consider it. Or maybe not given all your issues…
  9. R1S : Oct-Dec Delivery (Now Jan-Feb or Feb-Mar 2023)

  10. Kanundrum's R1S Build Thread (1 year Anniversary)

    Man I wonder why they won't even talk to me... March 2019 LE R1S in Tyson's. Signed up for everything I could. Not a peep from them. Congrats on your delivery though! Winner wonder if the 20 a/t tires have the same bounciness issue?
  11. R1S : Oct-Dec Delivery (Now Jan-Feb or Feb-Mar 2023)

    Mar 19 here with same delivery window... No contact at all yet. LG GF 20AT in VA.
  12. ? [UPDATE: R1S Delivered! First Reactions + Photos] Friday will be a good day -- scheduled R1S delivery date

    Did you get a test drive ever? Mid Atlantic as far as I know still hasn't been able to get test drives. I'm a March 19 R1S LE holder and have not heard a peep from Rivian.
  13. Introducing the R1 Shop... Email Communication

    March 19 R1S with May/June 22 delivery window... I got the email and read it as "your R1S delayed until 2023..." Glad I didn't get more stock. Hyundai/Kia will be the first SUV to market and likely dominate.
