    Question for those with homeowners claim experience, especially with Rivian/Nationwide

    I know there are significant variables involved and I don't have a lot if info to share about my potential claim but, I'm hoping to get some feedback from others who have been through something similar. All (serious) feedback welcome but especially hoping to hear from anyone in TX with...

    Rivian reliability is a problem

    Is it really a problem? It's definitely a marketing problem for Rivian. But even the least reliable vehicles on the market are still pretty reliable these days and every brand has problems. Just this morning i was reading about an ICE Bronco that had to be lemoned. Yet I've had nearly 2 years in...

    Rivian Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) Beginning Dec 13, 2024

    Spot on. No single defense is ever likely to be foolproof, that's why the cybersecurity industry advocates for what we refer to as defense in depth security. The more layers of security, the more likely you are to successfully protect a resource. The fact that so many people tend to re-use the...

    Rivian Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) Beginning Dec 13, 2024

    This has been optional for about 3 years now, I think. Glad to see they're making it mandatory, I know it's something I enabled when it was first implemented. Hopefully they'll add support for push notifications and passkeys in the near future.

    Tariffs on R2 ? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS; POLICY DISCUSSION ONLY]

    The impact won't be just to Rivian or even just EVs. The price of many ICE vehicles as well as consumer goods could go up. We'll just have to wait and see how things play out.

    Todays rivian statement

    Well, that's a completely different issue altogether. Just because you can't afford it doesn't mean Rivian owes you additional freebies. As for being too expensive, Rivian is still struggling to reach positive gross profit per vehicle and that's with price increases and cost-cutting measures.

    Todays rivian statement

    You seem to be overlooking that fact that Rivian extended a nearly $20k price reduction to early Gen 1 adopters. They shouldn't need to offer any other gestures.

    My R1T has accelerated so fast that it went back to the Jurassic :)

    As I recall from my study of physics, that only requires hitting 88 mph. 🤣

    Rivian and VW JV's First Demo Vehicles -- Audi Q6 E-Tron

    What you are overlooking is that the low-voltage and high-voltage systems are completely separate. The electronics being developed by the JV are not the high-voltage powertrain components (battery, motors, inverters) and the infotainment computers, body controllers, etc are most certainly not...

    Interesting Video on Rivian & VW

    If Rivian goes under. Do you understand what happens if Rivian goes under? All of their assets, which includes all of their IP, go up for sale through bankruptcy proceedings. Now, VW basically just gets first dibs. This is a total nothingburger.

    R1S Tri Motor Placement

    undue tire wear would be a function of your right foot, not the motor configuration.

    2025 R1s 12V battery location

    Hopefully next Gen they'll just go ahead and mount the battery tray right out in the open on the front bumper.

    2024.43.0 Update now in UAT (User Acceptance Testing)

    Ok, I can see value in predicted vs actual - although that capability wasn't obvious in the picture I was responding to.

    2024.43.0 Update now in UAT (User Acceptance Testing)

    SoC vs Miles? Don't really see the value myself.

    Tires completely worn out at 10,000 km

    If you truly need that little extra bit of range, I wouldn't worry about the tire wear. It's not going to make a meaningful difference in tread wear over what amounts to 1-2% of the life of the tire if your alignment is good. However, you'd probably have more impact on range driving 5-10 mph...

    Charging slowed… warm plug

    To be safe, also check both sides of the connection (plug and port) for any signs of contamination (bugs, dirt, etc) and for any signs of scorching or melting.

    R1S Lease in Texas

    Correct. However, if you can truly sell for $10k more than the trade-in, you should probably do that as that is significantly more than the sales tax on any R1.
