  1. Battery does not warm after driving 90 minutes; fluid leaking from front end.

    Hopefully they are bringing you a loaner too.
  2. Demo Rivians Now for Sale

    My two quads were "fixed" a total of four times. After being fixed the Tri is a LOT quieter. IMO, it comes down to $$$. On both my first purchases money was my first consideration not what I wanted. This time I paid up and got exactly what I wanted. Storm Blue/Ascend interior with walnut/ Tri...
  3. Demo Rivians Now for Sale

    I THINK they improved the suspension late 2023. Agree with everything donaldstanfeld wrote. I owned two 2022 quads; nothing newer. I drove a combined 88,000 miles in them. I would also add the wind noise is infinitely better in the Tri. It is just more relaxing to drive. Especially when I don't...
  4. Demo Rivians Now for Sale

    The Tri is a LOT better vehicle. The only thing I miss is the Meridian sound system. I'm far from an expert, but this system is ridiculous at the price point. I shouldn't say I was disappointed in my demo either because the price was so much less. I put 28,000 miles on lit in 8 months and...
  5. Demo Rivians Now for Sale

    I bought a demo with 100 miles on it this past March. Was 2022 QM. I traded it on my Tri Max a month ago. I assumed it had been rejected by original purchaser and I could see why. Fit and finish was fine, but software was not good. Constant phantom braking and every time I passed a semi on the...
  6. Best practices for driving in extreme cold

    I confirmed with service again that preconditioning functionality is supposed to be added soon. We'll see.
  7. Potential Range Issue?

    At least in my trip yesterday......route planner doesn't yet have Tesla chargers as potential charging options. I had a 50 percent charge (software range is 202 miles) and I had 96 miles to get home. Route planner said I wouldn't make it. I'm in Springfield and headed west of Peoria. It routes...
  8. Potential Range Issue?

    Except the preconditioning recommended earlier is not available in gen 2. Sometimes Rivian can't get out of its own way. Supposedly it is coming soooooon. I just drove 350 miles in (Tri Max) central Illinois today. 72 mph on interstate 25-30 degrees air temperature & got 1.74 in conserve. I had...
  9. I think I got hosed on the NACS Adapter roll-out.

    Rivian fouled this up. I was a July 1, 2022 purchase, opted in and never heard another word. Like you I called and they "opted me in again", but never got an adapter. Finally just bought the A2Z one. Lowered my blood pressure until I traded in for a Tri Max. Had my adapter 2 weeks later. Rivian...
  10. No Scheduled Departure functionality in app for Gen 2 Vehicles?

    Service just told me you don't have it (😂😂), but it is coming soon. Is yours a Tri Max? Mine is, maybe it is just Tri that doesn't have the functionality. You know how Rivian can be......the more you pay the less you get😀
  11. No Scheduled Departure functionality in app for Gen 2 Vehicles?

    Are you in a gen 2? My app had that when I owned my gen 1, but now it is gone. When I called service they said it is a gen 2 problem and was going to get fixed with this update. Obviously didn't happen.
  12. Best practices for driving in extreme cold

    Does anybody with a gen 2 (specifically a tri max) have this functionality? My gen 1 R1Ts had it, but now tri max doesn't. Service said it was going to be fixed with this last update, but it wasn't. Btw, this REALLY helps efficiency in cold weather.
  13. Delivery Analysis. 2025 R1T.

    Bad part of this (besides the customer experience) is Rivian continues to have QC issues. How does a vehicle with this issue make it out of Normal? Especially with production reduced because of supply chain issues. The adapter matters if you have a long drive home and need to charge along the...
  14. Rivian Gets $6.6B DOE Loan Commitment for Georgia Plant Construction

    If you read my post I said the terms are. The government is a lender of last resort and they subsidize the terms. If they aren't why not just go to the capital markets and get the money? I've been a commercial lender for 25 years; including publicly traded companies. Categorically I can tell you...
  15. Getting ready to drive a Gen 2 Tri - Lease to drive, Lease to buy out, or Buy out right?

    At least in Illinois, Rivian will not write a check for your trade in. My trade (couple of weeks ago) on my Tri was $57,000 also. Would have to sell it myself. I just bought outright and saved sales tax $$. Be sure you understand your state's sales tax rules before you lease & buyout.
  16. Rivian Gets $6.6B DOE Loan Commitment for Georgia Plant Construction

    I'm happy for Rivian, but as a taxpayer I get really sick of corporate welfare (sorry, the rates & terms are exactly that). This announcement together with the $8 billion Intel gift means taxpayers lose again. At BH's 2023 annual meeting Warren Buffett stated S & P 500 tax credits now exceed the...
  17. Efficiency Questions M/KWH

    I THINK Rivian uses the total kwh not just what is used to propel the vehicle. Telsa only discloses the energy used to propel the vehicle on their screen. If I'm not mistaken Tesla is the only manufacturer who does that.
  18. Efficiency Questions M/KWH

    You can't believe the 15 minute screen though. If you want a close to accurate number you have to use the trip meter. If you don't believe me reset your vehicle, then reset trip A and drive 15 minutes. You will see to very different numbers (or I did). The 15 minute screen is high.
