  1. Rivian VIN Decoder

    Sorry for the lack of updates. I've updated it with the latest information for 2024 and 2025. There are a few new developments including the tri-motor configuration and different trim levels.
  2. R2 in Teal, Evergreen, Slate 🎨

    You mean the R3X wasn't Rivian Blue? I assumed it was since the color was similar.
  3. Can I buy a used 10/2022 Launch edition R1S now

    10/22 delivery here and absolutely zero maintenance required thus far.
  4. R3 - appeal to R1S owners

    I've always thought the R1S is too big for my needs, but I bought it since there was nothing comparable on the market. R2 looks like the vehicle I wanted all along - smaller, but with all the same look and feel as the bigger R1S. R3 is too small and does not appeal to me at all.
  5. Poll - Do you plan to place R2 Reservation for $100?

    I will likely reserve one as a potential replacement for my R1S in a few years. I've been mostly happy with the R1S as the software has continued to improve, but it's bigger than I really need and I'd be more comfortable with something a bit smaller. Having an early reservation paid off with...
  6. Climate Scheduling issues

    Climate scheduling works completely randomly for me. I never know whether it's going to work or not, and have not been able to figure out any pattern of what causes it to not work. It does seem more reliable at home in the morning, but I'd rather have it work reliably when the car has been...
  7. UAW is coming after Rivian

    I wonder what record profits the UAW thinks Rivian and Lucid are raking in.
  8. Rivian-Amazon EDV exclusivity ends. Rivian Commercial Van now available to fleet customers across the country

    I wonder how many drivers mistake the SOS button for Start Or Stop.
  9. Michigan Rivian Club

    @SSteveEV I'd rather see the magic dock at every Supercharger than have to carry around an adapter I rarely use. Perhaps this is all they mean by making adapters available - that all Superchargers will be retrofit by the end of 2024.
  10. Rivian Ruins My Uber Rider Rating

    I usually pick whatever the top end of the tip scale is unless something goes wrong. There have been a couple times where the app didn't process my tip payment immediately and I didn't catch it until the next time I used the app and it prompted me to finish the payment.
  11. Rivian Ruins My Uber Rider Rating

    I was visiting Chicago last week and decided to use Uber to get around rather than trying to park in the city. I noticed I was having a hard time getting drivers to accept my request and had a couple cancel on me. It was then I noticed that somehow my rider rating had dropped to 4.25. This...
  12. Michigan Rivian Club

    The seat coolers are dependent on the temperature in the cabin. They don't generate cool air on their own, but rather move existing air around. When the air is on high, it is likely because the cabin is hot and it's trying to cool it down quickly, so the seat coolers just blow the warm cabin...
  13. No Scheduled Charging After Software Update

    My charging schedule hasn't changed. It still shows when it should have charged last night, but no record in the charging history that it attempted to charge. The key issue appears to be that I plugged the car in before starting the update, without touching the cable after the update...
  14. No Scheduled Charging After Software Update

    Last night I plugged in my R1S as soon as I got home, with charging scheduled to start at 8 PM when electric rates are lower. I soon thereafter got a notification on my phone that a software update was available, and started it in the meantime. This morning, I noticed my R1S had not charged at...
