  1. Front suspension dropping slowly while parked, normal?

    I just got my truck back from the Portland Service Center this afternoon. I had reported the suspension problem to Rivian on May 18th. After they expedited my appointment, I took the truck to the SC on May 19th. On the Work Order it states: Cause- confirmed customer concern. front left was...
  2. Front suspension dropping slowly while parked, normal?

    The Portland SC service advisor just sent me this update: "The technician has identified parts needed for service. We have ordered these and we are estimating part arrival for 5/22. I will reach out again tomorrow with another update. Thank you." It looks like they're taking positive steps to...
  3. Front suspension dropping slowly while parked, normal?

    My R1T with 39,000 miles has been in the shop since early this morning. It seems so unfair the way you were hassled. I sure didn't see this coming, and I feel very lucky to have it covered under warranty. Yesterday morning, when the truck was asleep, I first noticed my left front suspension...
  4. Maintenance costs pricing is high

    My alignment cost more that $287.00, so I have to say you were very luckly. When I took my 22 R1T Quad with 34,000/miles in for alignment last week to the Portland, OR Service Center my cost was $575.00, which included a $150.00 discount for their time to test drive the truck. edited: to...

    You are so right. Sorry for my typo.
  6. Welcome to Half Moon Grey, now available on R1S / R1T and R2

    One is grey and the other is gray. It took awhile, but I get it now.
  7. 2026.07.0 update again (same version, different build)

    I got it again after installing the first update last week. I just pushed the button and let the newer version rip. I hope this fixes the bug I got from installing the first update last week which caused my truck to no longer recognize my fob.

    I see this as corporate speak for...we're trying to catch up.
  9. 2026.03 Update Pushed! Now Installing

    I got my OTA today and lucked out. It installed in less than the 50 minutes it said it would take.
  10. Conversation with my neighbor... Are Rivian's really for rich people?

    I agree wholeheartedly. The question of whether Rivian vehicles are truly for the wealthy or merely perceived as such taps into the idea of perception as reality. Based on my years of experience in creating brand identities and shaping customer perceptions, here’s how I view this concept...
  11. Need 22" inch AS tire recommendations

    My take on the Pirellis's is this: For me, my OEM Pirelli OEM 22's with 115 load rating tires didn't last longer than 15K+ miles after I bought my truck. But, my new 22" Pirelli sport tires with 119 load rating and thicker tire tread grips the PNW streets and mountain curves with all traction...
  12. Cleaning screen recommendations - windex?

    I live in the Pacific Northwest, and I've found that I get nice results on inside computer screens, and windshield and windows, interior or exterior, by using just a clean damp (with tap water) microfiber cloth, followed by an extra microfiber cloth for drying, and my R1T's glass turns out...
  13. Long term owners with Ocean Coast interiors: How is it holding up?

    My R1T also came in September 2022. Had it for over three years with about 32k miles and my Ocean Coast interior still looks brand new. No stains, no tears, no wear marks, etc. Thumbs up for Ocean Coast!
