  1. 25% Tariffs on All Imports - Effect on Rivian prices?

    Reciprocal tariffs are fine, as are tariffs on goods which are subsidized by a government or dumped on our markets. Protectionist tariffs fuel inflation and meritocracy in products. What’s happening now is one man deciding unilaterally to break existing trade agreements and half of America...
  2. 25% Tariffs on All Imports - Effect on Rivian prices?

    i believe 100% of the aluminum used for body panels gen-1 and casting R2 is imported and most if not all of the R1 suspension is imported as well as gen-1 quad motors (someone has to pay for the increased warranty cost there). Gen-1 batteries are imported, I believe all the screens are imported...
  3. Rivian preparing in-house V2H charger

    I get it, I don’t plan on keeping my R1 more than 4 years anyway. I am pretty sure V2H was a marketing lie by Rivian anyway as they discussed when trying to sell cars and then went mute. I doubt they have any intention of actually building or allowing V2H bidirectional charging.
  4. Rivian preparing in-house V2H charger

    I am not sure there is any definitive proof that increased cycling damages modern EV batteries substantially. V2H helps in areas of California where we pay the highest rate per KWH (of the lower 48) and they are reducing NEM %. It allows a Rivian owner to use their 135Kw (large pack) R1 rather...
  5. Would there be any issues keeping Ride Height at "Low" full time, while in AP

    My wife is 4’10” and has no complaints on jumping on up there.
  6. Vehicle Wakes and Makes Suspension Noise While Locked

    Mine just started something similar, when I am near but not near enough for it to unlock I hear noises like creaking form the front end. Seems to be related to latest update
  7. Gen 2 Quad Wheels for Sale on eBay???

    Mine is from working there Take it as you like
  8. Gen 2 Quad Wheels for Sale on eBay???

    ebay lacks structured data so they miss a lot of fraud items, they also don’t vet vendors, I am glad you have had experiences but having worked there for years I can tell you you are the exception (in ebay motors), the rest of ebay is pretty good
  9. Gen 2 Quad Wheels for Sale on eBay???

    I used to work for ebay motors, there is no controls on what people advertise or state so fraud is prevalent. I would never trust ebay items
  10. When will Rivian get CarPlay? Need better Nav and hands free text

    Perhaps the author assumed Rivian had a usable navigation system, this is a reasonable assumption and Rivian has failed at this completely with not serious intention to solve it. Also the CEO of Rivian made consistently false statements about why no CarPlay or android auto. I am not sure why the...
  11. Rivian preparing in-house V2H charger

    I doubt Rivian will ever develop it. The whole concept for Rivian was a marketing ploy to trick people into buying Rivians. This is why total silence since June of 2024
  12. Rivian preparing in-house V2H charger

    Rivian bidirectional charger is a myth, it’s a marketing scam to trick more people into buying a Rivian with hopes of relief from buying power walls. I think they have no intention of developing the charger and never did intend to. Ford has had it available for a long time and let me tell you...
  13. Recommendations for New Tires ? Install and Balancing w/ Independent Tire Shop?

    They have their own and use 4 floor jacks just to me careful Rivian sent me there when I had a flat week one and they fixed it for free, they also did my 7500 mile rotate and balance for free (with appointment)
  14. Recommendations for New Tires ? Install and Balancing w/ Independent Tire Shop?

    I have had great service at the Americas Tire on Hamilton I have not heard great things about the one on Stevens Creek
  15. When will Rivian get CarPlay? Need better Nav and hands free text

    Sorry for all the hate you might get here for even asking this. I feel the same way and there is not reason except RJ must Love Elon who also won’t allow carplay. There are some BS reasons given but none are true except the CEO doesn’t want CarPlay in Rivians. I use Apple Maps with an earbud to...
