Though my service date was a while out, on the day of my service the Rivian was in the work bay before I could get the loaner. Two days later it was ready for pickup and I came the next day (today) due to not wanting to sit in freeway traffic. Car was clean and they did a great job! The whole...
Enough is enough. I can't stand the rattle so I took things more apart than I had before, which amounted to pulling up the grill and inserting some foam here and there. Here's a DIY on how to remove the grill at the windshield and help the rattle.
It helps if you have trim removal tools and I...
We all know it sucks to show up and not be able to use a station you saw on the map. My recent A2Z adapter use started to get me thinking of ways to minimize the stress of an incompatible location. Here are my thoughts. Please add ideas and I'll see if I can add to the list as we go.

When a button is Black it's on? When a button is White it's off?
When a button is Black it's off? When a button is gray it's on?

I think I have about 2000 miles and this car has an insane number of squeaks, rattles and clunks but one is particularly concerning and I was wondering if anyone else has had this. When going over a speed bump or control hump I get clunking noise from the front end. The rear is fine. It's not...
This is probably the only way a 70 series would ever get to the USA anymore. I doubt Canada imports diesel ones. https://mevco.com/mevco-70-electric-utility-vehicles/
I'm at our cabin and the car is only half way up the 1/2 mile driveway as there's a few feet of snow and it's steep switchbacks. So we left it and hiked the rest.
Just got a random warning that app is disabled and I can't use it for anything except as a key unless I log back in. If I sign out...
Now that I've observed the vehicle on longer trips I'm realizing that there isn't much difference in cost per mile vs our V8 powered 2007 Lexus GX470 here in CA.
GX: $5 per gal / 20mpg= .25 per mile
R1S: $.50 per kw dcfc / 2 mi per kwh = .25 per mile
What's everyone else seeing? Home charging...
Fabulous weather even though it dropped into the teens overnight. The Rivian handles mountain roads like a sports car though we were chill and enjoying the scenery. Our house faces south so the snow has mostly melted and the road is a bit muddy and slippery.
It's often a wonderland though...
Managed to get a camping spot at the beach and decided to take a long weekend from Los Angeles to the Santa Barbara area. First time towing with the R1S and I'm happy with the range efficiency. Our trailer is a folding hardshell trailer called a TrailManor. Towed it's about 20ft long with three...
Not going to put a ticket in because I don't think service can fix this but wondering if anyone else sees this.
Listen to music, like FM and then mute by pressing mute on the main screen volume slider; might also do it when pressing the left scroll wheel. Now make a bt phone call and you'll...
