  1. Rivian App 3.12.0 out for iOS

    Can't wait to try out the Rivian Assistant - finally messaging support after over 4 years of promises of it coming sOOn!
  2. When will R1 get Gen 3 hardware?

    Gen 1 actually started shipping to customers in late 2021 as I recall...
  3. White powder coated wheels - looking for feedback.

    Definitely need to ceramic coat white wheels to help keep them clean!
  4. What's normal runningboard wear?

    I will second the recommendation for EVSportline. I got a set of their first batch for my R1T, and they are showing little if any signs of wear - and they get salt spray all winter.
  5. R2 Delivery at Normal, IL Plant?

    I've done the Corvette factory tour twice in Bowling Green - it's a great tour!
  6. 2026 Rivian R2 Specs & Reviews!! 300+ Mile Range, 10-80% Charge in 30 Min, 656 hp / 609 lb-ft, 0-60 mph in 3.6s, dimensions

    I was never offered a test drive. The first time I saw an R1T was the day mine arrived at my house on the back of a flatbed in early March 2022.

    Charging curve from the Carwow video is way better than my Gen 1 R1T

    I’ve been waiting for this as well. It’s a big factor as to whether I’ll go with the R2 or something else.
  9. Can we upgrade R1 Gen2 to Gen3? Will R1s come with Gen3 next year?

    I took a demo drive in a 2026 R1S today and the Rivian employee told me that the release of the Gen 3 R1 is probably 2 years out. I'll wait until final specs on the R2 are released to decide which route to go.
  10. RAN in Lansing now open

    According to the Charging map on rivian.com the Lansing RAN is now open - anyone around there checked into it yet?
  11. Cold weather battery charging - always or no?

    I normally keep mine plugged in for much of the winter also. I usually only drive it a few days a week, but it is nice to have the truck plugged in so If I end up wanting to go any significant distance on a cold snowy morning I can use the app to precondition in the garage on shore power prior...
  12. PSA: Gear Guard not catching dings

    I've found it also helps to raise the ride height to get those running boards higher... :cool:
  13. Hotspot unavailable for entire journey despite having good cell service much of the way

    I got back yesterday from a 6-day 2000-mile round trip from northern MI to eastern CT. Hotspot worked great for us. Longest trip we have taken so far in the R1T - it continues to impress as a road tripper! Having the NACS adapter proved to be very helpful as well, but the RAN locations are...
  14. RAN Rivian Charging Stations Locations Map via Google Maps

    Glad to see that is finally online. No good DCFC options in the northern GR area until now.
