Thanks for the reply. It took the better part of yesterday and call to Rivian service to figure out the passive entry problem. In the end, it was one of two things. Either my wife's old Apple Watch that the R2 was trying to link to (you need Apple Watch 6 or better). Or more likely, we have 2...

Again, it's only day 4 with our early production R2. It hasn't bricked, nothing bad. Once we get the kinks worked out, I'm sure that we will love it. Just in frustration mode now. Little things, door handle will need to go back to shop for part missing, accessories that I ordered are back...

Currently, EXACT same issue with R2. Working to find a solution after trying everything. Next step is voodoo and a chicken blood shake to exercise out the demons. Did you ever get a fix?

Do you mean hack into the old J1772 home charger box and replace with a NACS cord/plug? Probably doable but I doubt Rivian would sell just the cable. We now have an R1T and R2, one home charger, so going with just the included adapter. But yeah, that might end up being an a*s pain.

Exactly what VSG and SANZ said. Now how often or how important are these features?, your call. After 3.5 yrs of R1T ownership, my opinions: Music streaming - I use all the time (Sirius XM), but a data drive of your own works. Charging - used Tesla subscription once, now just use occasionally @...

We took delivery 2 days ago, made a stink about the portable charger, they ordered it no charge for me via the Riv store. I'm better now.

Day 2 after getting my wife an R2 Perf. She likes it but doesn't love it. It is adorable how much bandwidth is spent on the internet regarding range and efficiency. What's much more important is a car delivered that's put together and running solidly. I'd say our VIN 2000 something R2 is...

That's for all CARB states. Adapters and portable chargers are included with new EV. I'm in CO and Rivian is saying that I had to put it in my order. At the time, the order charged $400 for the portable. So it's like In-n-Out Burgers, you need to know the secret menu. I cannot add at this...

Wow, so 12v battery sounds like an Achilles heel? Just got my first error/replace warning and now sitting in new Riv Louisville, CO center. $500 for a 12v battery replacement?! Is it a gold-lead alloy? I used to change my own on Ram 1500. Oil changes not very expensive per year as well...

Agree and that is #1 issue with my 2023 R1T. Its 21 inchers, no choice in tire. BUT what if we order my wife's upcoming R2 with 20"? Can I switch them onto my R1T?? Will that work? That might actually create a marital dispute. ;-P

added info, sorry forgot about this 2 years ago :rolleyes:

Yes and this happened to me this week multiple times while navigating through Nebraska and the electron desert of the Dakotas. Also terrible at finding chargers. That’s a fail. ABRP not great at finding best chargers. Best tools are PlugShare, Google Maps, and a brain.

Yes, me too

Well OC Boy, I grew up in SoCal as well. Didn't realize how crazy a driver I was until moved to CO. 🤣

@Mike777 we are in exactly the same situation for a different reason. Leased a Lyric with a great deal for 2 years while waiting for an R2. Need room for 3 dogs but empty nesters. Less worried about the space and want more rugged vehicle.
