    Tail gate latch fail

    Yeah I've had similar issues for almost a year now, even after taking it to the service center, who did not fix the problem but claimed they did. (45k+ miles now.) Wasn't dropping, lots of squeaking on one side, sometimes pressing the button wouldn't unlatch it, long periods of time the truck...

    Positivity -- SoCal to Seattle & back, scenic route. R1S flawless over 2300 miles, 30-100 degree temps, 9 RAN chargers

    Nice trip. There are RAN chargers all the way up the coast on 101 from Corte Madera CA (north Bay) all the way up to Portland OR. It takes longer than i5 but is a gorgeous drive. I live along that route and pretty much the only time I don't charge from a RAN is on the occasional free chargers I...

    R2 & R3 Photos @ Portland Event

    Gosh I can't believe I just happened to be in Portland Friday and Saturday and didn't know about this until now. 😭

    List it as adventure edition, basically the same thing.

    Towing + Efficiency: Please post your experience!

    I have the slightly larger 19' Sol Horizon, around 3300lb dry. I haven't towed with it yet. I'm excited to see what efficiency you get with yours, and to compare that with what I end up getting. Do you have any data?

    Got a call out of the Blue that Rivian wants to replace the battery.

    Mine is an R1T but similar build time, early June, purchased in July 2023. I did get a whole bunch of weird battery errors once when my battery dropped below 5% (it seemed to suddenly go from ~5% to 1% then 0% as I made it the last couple miles to the charger - seemed to do this after I...

    My R1S delivery adventure. Delivered 1/13/2024 (R2 and R3 vids inside!)

    Congrats. That must feel amazing. I've been working toward similar but unfortunately went too hard into RIVN and got utterly crushed when it crashed. 😭

    I Have a Rivian Van (Delivery 500) On Demo

    I low key was hoping they'd reveal exactly that along at the R2 reveal on the 7th. I'm super excited about R3... but still, waiting for this.

    Rivian VIN Decoder

    For the reasons I stated. Forged wheels, vs not. Yes you will have worse efficiency in the beginning with the stock tires. But when you change them you can swap to a bunch of 275/60/20 options for much better efficiency (and much lower cost), on par with or better than the 21s. See threads on...

    What was your original config? You really want the 20". Better wheels and much better tire options.

    Rivian VIN Decoder

    Mine is 25k and it's from the shop, stamped June of last year, picked up July. Yours is probably around an April/May 2023 build. It's up to you, and there's probably nothing really wrong with that one, but being that it's nearly a year "old", I personally would probably try to get a 2024 at...

    No Cybertruck for me :(

    Good. $1000 is a reasonable penalty to teach you not to make such a bad decision as nearly buying that awful thing. Much better to pay it than actually go through with the purchase. Too bad the $1000 is going to Tesla.

    First big issue after 15k mi - can't change ride height

    Just recently crossed 15k miles and have been overall incredibly happy with my truck. Bunch of small issues like squeaks, only kind of big issue was the AC not working in the heat last summer. Fixed. Yesterday morning I went to drive as usual and when I got on the highway and tried to switch to...

    Switched from Launch Edition Quad to Dual Motor Max Pack Performance -- my impressions / review

    Did you get it recalibrated for the different tire size? If not then you need to subtract -3.2% from your (still excellent) numbers. That would put you at 2.83 mi/kWh which is still phenomenal. I'm hoping for 2.5 when I get new tires (planning on going to 275/60/20 or may even try 55, from...

    Atomic Wheels range tests on AT and Road tires

    So actual efficiency for test #3 after adjusting for size difference is 1.94. About +13% improvement over the comparable (same wheel) test #2. If I get similar improvement from my stock 20s I'll get as much as 354mi (in conserve).

    Atomic Wheels range tests on AT and Road tires

    This is the way. The stock 20s are much better (forged) wheels than the 21s, and crucially you have a lot more tire options, like these excellent new Michelins. I specifically got my truck with 20s for this reason with the intent of swapping them to road tires for better efficiency.

    Switched from 22" Darks to 20" EV1 R800 Wheels (bronze) + KO2 275/60 Tires

    Looks very nice. I personally wouldn't want to do this due to reduced efficiency from the wheels offset (drag) and the more aggressive tires, as well as increased noise. Those are great tires though, had a set on my old Tacoma before. But with all the miles I'm driving lately I'm looking to go...
