    Heard specific details about design and engineering decisions Rivian made that I hadn't heard before.

    Keep R1T After Warranty or buy new one

    Gen1 R1T, 30k miles, 2 years old. I've had mostly minor issues except for: CV boot issue replaced both front halfshafts - price not listed on invoice, 2 hours to repair so $400 for labor, not sure what the parts cost but id guess its $800-$1000 each? so $2400 total. rear spoiler replacement -...

    NACS Adapter Storage in R1T

    under rear seat storage is where i keep it. i also store valuables and other equipment like the mobile charger, flat tire kit, tie down straps, air compressor hose, etc. unless you have a case for it i wouldnt put it in the frunk or gear tunnel as it could roll around and get damaged.

    Battery temp of 15°F now appears to be where Rivian stops aggressively heating the battery

    Another test could be to charge it overnight and have it complete just before you leave to see what the battery temp is and what efficiency difference is. Assuming you have the Gen1 large pack? Would be interesting to see side by side with a Gen2 large pack.

    Any update on the Georgia factory?

    Anyone hear any update on this? I know they are trying to expedite the finalization of the $6.6 billion dollar loan before the new administration comes in. Not sure if their plans for the factory hinge on this or if they can proceed without it.

    Purple Gen 2 Quad R1S Spotted. Debut seems likely soon...

    why dump Compass Yellow and then add this? its going to have the same if not lower take rate. i get they might want a new color for the new quad but this is risky. it also doesn't fit their previous MO of not leaking colors. my guess is this is a "test" to see how folks respond. id go...

    Apple CarPlay & Android Auto Solution is Coming Soon... (seriously) -- by EV Play

    This sounds like something that might void the warranty. You can’t just hack the infotainment without bringing attention to Rivian. Also why would you create a whole separate infotainment? It’s one thing to add AA or CP. And how is one person going to maintain this over time? Is this going to...

    Help a prospective buyer pull the trigger (or not)

    The HVAC on gen2 is as loud as gen1. The difference is that inside the cabin you hear a lot less in the gen2 because they moved the compressor towards the front of the vehicle away from the cabin. If you're mainly commuting and don't need to haul stuff, even sporadically, I'd get the Ioniq 5...

    Ugly competition: The Cybertruck has a competitor

    I think it looks alright, definitely better than before. CT lights in the front, R23 lights in the back. They do like to copy Rivian design so not a surprise.

    Gen2 Key Fob first impressions

    For me, the key fob for Gen1 is honestly the worst user experience of the entire vehicle. Super frustrating to press it 5,6,7,8... times before it responds, while other times it works on the first press. There's no rhyme or reason. i've had it re-synced by Rivian service a couple of times...

    Gen2 Quad R1 - Alternate Quad Badges That Were Considered

    Check out these other badges Rivian was considering before they decided on the final version. the jetpack one would have been pretty cool too.

    R1T spinning out on Donner pass

    saw that last week. yikes! looks it is had the 20 AT tires but as you noted, you'd need snow tires or a more experienced driver to reduce chance of that. on top of that, the stock 20" pirellis are not even Three Peak Mountain Snowflake rated

    PSA about using Discount Tire - watch them like a hawk

    Glad that worked out for you. DT contacted me through this forum after seeing my post. Said they would call the location where my vehicle was damaged and would have the manager call me. Never did. Back and forth a few times but manager still never called. I called that location and was told...

    If you’re letting a tire shop work on your Rivian, watch them like a hawk!

    100%. I will never go to Discount Tire again. https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/psa-about-using-discount-tire-watch-them-like-a-hawk.28845/
