Wishing everyone and their family a wonderful Christmas. It has been fun spending time here. I got to learn a lot of things about my first EV. Thank you.

My external drive stopped working after the last s/w update. Tech says it's the drive and I should get a new one. There seems to be very specific requirements for that. What has worked best for you. Thanks for your recommendations in advance.

I've been enjoying my R1S for almost a year now. It's been a great car. But, for the life of me, I can't understand why the speedo is tucked away to the right and the "ghost cars" are right in the middle. Firstly, what use is the "vehicle display" showing my car and the other cars around me...

Since I got my R1, I have been pondering what use some of the information on the dash is for. I see other cars, bicycles, people walking and I think a dog or two. I should be able to see all this through the windshield. If not, I have bigger problems. It's exactly in the middle of the dash which...

I had to come to Dubai suddenly on business. Was wondering if a safari is a good idea. It's only 103. What could go wrong? Also, does Ahmed Seddiqi stock any Rolex? Was at their Dubai mall location (nearest to my hotel) a little while ago and got 0 for 4 on the ones I was trying to buy. Should I...

I got very comfortable with the lack of issues since getting my R1S last September. However, since the last OTA update the car does random things that can only be explained by the paranormal. For example, the passenger mirror was folded while parked one day. On another all the doors opened as...

Porsche has the Dakar and Lambo has the Sterrato. Wouldn't it be great if Rivian came out with something similar? I can't think of another EV company that owns the off-road space as much as Rivian. The R3X is a great extension into that space but in a Rally way. This is more exotic. Porsche...

I read so many stories about cars going "blank" and now it happened to me. It was not as bad as it might have been for some people on the road. Mine bricked when I was cleaning the car in my driveway. Did not wash the exterior-just cleaning interior. I was cleaning the interior and left the...

I wanted to share a very positive purchase experience. I hope this helps others that are in the process. My guide, Devin, contacted me around the same time I received shop access. Her first intro email told me about her family and hobbies. This made it feel more friendly and less business...

Wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for the tremendous knowledge sharing and helpful insights. I was at lunch and fiddling around with the shop availability and found a close match. R1S, ECG, OC, 20". VIN is 17XXX I originally planned on 21" because it will mostly see regular roads. This...

Always liked the look of the LR Defender roof light. Wonder how these would look on the R1. Thoughts? Roof Lights

Going to San Diego for work and some surfing with seals. Had the choice of a BMW X5 or Tesla 3. Tom Brady talked me into taking the Tesla. I thought it would be fun and give me some idea of what it's like to live with an EV for a week. Regen braking, recharging, all that sort of stuff. Never...

I just returned from a local R1S test drive and wanted to share my thoughts. If you don't want to read the extended version below, the synopsis is that it's a good SUV. Disclaimer-this is my first EV test drive. The following is the most unscientific assessment I can give. It is based on...

I would like the glass roof be an option. I know it adds complexity to the manufacturing process but it's better than a class action law suit. A solid roof would also add structural rigidity and improve handling through weight savings (assuming the glass is heavier). An "adventure" vehicle needs...

Love the look of the Urban roof lights on the black defender. Wonder if something similar can be had for the Rivian? Also, thinking of fender flares for a full on "urban" assault vehicle look. Urban
