R1S was sitting outside in cold weather like it always is. I cannot get the front or rear windshield washer nozzles to spray. It seems like they’re frozen and I also do not hear any motors running trying to spray. So maybe there is a sensor that shuts the pump off when it detects there is a...

This is interesting. I wanted to Defrost the snow from the G1 R1S windows, so ran the heat for 30 minutes. I noticed the SOC dropped from 70% to 68% during that time and it started recharging to get it back to the 70% I have set as the default. Wouldn’t this mean that the gen 1 R1S is using its...

I have the holiday update. Noticed since updating, the map is very slow, like actually unusable. Other UI element also have an unacceptable amount of delay. Reminds me of my old iPad Pro that’s getting slower and slower with each software update. I used to be able to pan and zoom fluidly to find...

I know the AutoSocks work; they got me home in an ice storm last January in my Model Y. I had just a single pair and placed them on the rear wheels. This was an all-wheel drive MYLR. if I get these for the R1S Quad, could I get away with just a single pair and if so, would it be best to place...

The place I’ll be working in 3 weeks has a 240V outlet that’s accessible to our R1S. I’d like to use the outlet for charging. The outlet has 10-50R / 50-AMP / 240V stamped on When I search on Amazon, I have no idea if the brands I’m reviewing are safe and reliable. Can anyone recommend an...

This is regarding the voluntary recall that A2Z is doing with their first gen NACS adapter. I placed my request with A2Z for a replacement adapter on December 10. Aside from the initial acknowledgement of my request, I have received no updates. It’s approaching a month now. Has anyone else...

Hi, I am seeing all of the posts about the failure of the 12V batteries; has me a bit concerned. Is there a way I (the owner) can run a diagnostic in service mode on the 12Vs that would provide me an indication I can understand so I would know if I need to request a service ticket?

Just picked up our R1S from the Chicago service center. I noticed that they didn’t charge or wash the vehicle. Is this typical? I noticed that Tesla never washed following service either, but at least their owner pickup process was much more convenient (parked at charger, charging, waiting for...

Hi, does anyone with the same or similar R1S have some experience with efficiency in cold Midwest weather, say like 10-15F?

Hi, our R1S just got towed to the Chicago SC yesterday for a coolant leak. Anyone in the area recently have your R1 at the Chicago SC? Wondering what the backlog was like. I can’t seem to get this question answered by the actual SC. the car has been there for two days and there is no evidence...

Yesterday, the Battery started at 18F and warmed to just 32F after 90 minutes and 28 miles. The regen braking did not start acting normal until after about an hour of driving. This was a combination of some highway and city driving. So I would say the regen starting acting normal once the...

Hello, This was announced in the spring and we are still waiting. Is there any update on when it is releasing? Thanks!

I had seen many negative stories about owner’s service experiences so I thought I would balance it out with a positive experience. let me preface this with saying I am not a Rivian fanboy and the number of problems I have had with the R1S in the first 6 months seems higher than what it should...

Hi, any recommendations

A rock must’ve chipped the edge or Rivian installed a chipped windshield and I didn’t notice it until now. I am debating whether to have Safelight come out and look at this. I would be paying my $100 comprehensive deductible for them to come out; I’m not certain it’s necessary or would be an...

See my profile pic. I’m removing the torpedo box storage and RTT. Replacing with 2 Roam Adventure Rugged 95L cases on top of my FrontRunner Slimline II roof rack. what is the best positioning of the roof cases for aero? Towards the front or towards the rear of the vehicle?

Hi, we are installing a Google Nest Doorbell camera in the roof inside of our dog’s travel crate. What is the best method to keep the Rivian’s WiFi Hotspot active while we are away from the car and our dog is locked inside? I had a lot of trouble using Camp Mode to keep climate control on a few...

Hi, Just checking in to see it is still not possible for RIVIAN to charge at a V2 Tesla SuperCharger if I have an NACS adapter. I am visiting a remote area for a week that has a large V2 Tesla SuperCharger station, but nothing else around within a 90-minute radius. I want to be able to take the...

I hardly ever press the brakes, yet I get a lot of the dark gray colored brake dust on my black wheels. I always drive with max regen. I don’t have this issue with my Tesla. Is the R1S faking the regen? I don’t have this issue with Model Y.

I have been experiencing an intermittent problem with the infotainment system in our 2024 R1 S. This problem has occurred before and after the Connect + update. I believe this is the Meridian system. We took delivery at the beginning of April. The problem is that the right stereo channel will...
