The service category IS the weak link for Rivian for sure. I dont know how they could have set it up any differently though. Do they go ahead and build many service centers with the commensurate investments before they manufacture cars so the service can be ideal or do they start selling cars...

thx much!

which is which???

I cant blame you……service and repair is the worst thing about Rivian. Will take years for them to fix it also. (((

I took a while to decide between the ceramic coating and the full wrap. It was $1000 vs $6000. I wanted some protection form the branches scratching off road drives but just could not justify $6000. Went with the ceramic and so glad I did as it can rain all day and the finish does not get...

Interesting as I always get compliments on the look of my R1S. It is pretty elegant looking to me and then look what it can do. I can safely and easily without breaking a sweat tackle the White Rim Trail in Moab, Utah and be able to camp in the vehicle very comfortably. I can drive by gas...

Not having a full size spare on the R1S an “ADVENTURE” vehicle is the second biggest mistake Rivian has made after no Apple Car Play. Adventure means off road to many buyers which can be a gamble with no full size spare. There should have been a design of no 3rd row seats (which I will never use...

I am good with it as safety is the highest priority. Many places it is a signal lane road on 395 which should be 100% focus

I make at least 3 trips up 395 from hermosa Beach per year and found the same thing. I figure it just does not know its exact location well enough so the system is being extra safe. I am no expert though. I also prefer hands on when it is a single lane.

I have a 2023 R1S Quad with 20 AT tires and my best range is 275 miles. That is NOT conserve mode but standard mode. My understanding is that using conserve mode that much will ruin the tires. Is that not true so I dont understand why you are using conserve mode to compare. The 20“AT are a very...

The lamp example is good but how about a toaster which is a very high draw item……if it is plugged in all week, no current or voltage will be applied until it is turned on (given a command) JB

I am just joining this message so forgive any repeat but Beatle, doesn’t the car have to have “some” command to charge?? My understanding is you can have the charger plugged in but NOTHING happens until you give it a command like the charging limits set? If you have 85% set as a limit, once it...

They need to start working on weekends!!!! They simply do not have that luxury……for 10 years, I picked up or had repairers done on my Chevy Volt on weekends. They will never catch up if they dont!!

I concur…….had Alexa not working, map blurry, cant use the phone as a key, lane assist would not work and a few other annoying but not serious items. Took 3 months to get an appt and then 2 days before, they said it had to be pushed back 6 weeks. argh. Then they kept the car for a week when it...

The service is the achilles heel of Rivian…sadly. They need to start working on the weeknd’s or they will never catch up. They simply dont have that luxury when we the owners are forced to wait months for an appt and then go weeks without the car.

There is one major concern: vehicle repair service. I waited 3 months for an appt and then 2 days before the appt, they pushed it back another month..ouch. I bring it in and all went but they said it will be a week for the repairs as they dont work on the weekends!!! What in the world! They are...

I am in!!!

I have been vacationing in Sunriver and Bend, Oregon for over 30 years. It is an outdoor mecca with any activity you want including excellent and very scenic off roading. Had tons of fun with my Jeep there over the years and now my R1S.

All valid points especially the service syndrome as it is horrible. To me, the only real bad thing about owning Rivian but it is bad. They should have opened up more service centers before they sold so many cars.

I have had Alexa work about 5 days in one year of ownership…worthless. NOTHING compares to Apple Car play and its consistent and safety abilities. YES, I said that!! )))
