    Is there a way to preheat the battery and get regenerative braking before driving?

    I know this is a bit of side topic but if you want to precondition the battery you need to do two things: - be plugged into a L2 charger - use the climate scheduler If you don't use the climate scheduler it will only precondition the cabin. As for limited regen, in addition to battery temp and...

    Vampire Drain solar cell mounting option

    yes, they key is to keep the 12V healthy so the HV doesnt have to wake up to charge it https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/gen-1-vampire-drain-possibly-solved-or-hacked.31506/

    20" Inch Nitto Terra Grappler G3 tires available

    I'm at 1700 miles on my 275/60s XLs and around 1.91 mKw. I'm also running at 51 psi currently. I was not comfortable with the amount of give in the sidewall at 48 (first time AT buyer) and I also could not figure out what the right PSI should be so I've tried 48-55 with 51 feeling the best. I...

    9 days into ownership r1s trimax, not impressed

    I thought KRG was talking about all these hostile responses, not OP. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't come back. Some of yall got no chill

    Vampire Drain solar cell mounting option

    Yeah I'd love to see an install of that hood panel with the vinyl decal. I'm not sure why the Rivian doesnt have it installed on the product page but you can see examples for other vehicles here https://lensunsolar.com/collections/hood-solar-panel

    Dual Turn Lanes Blind Spot Alert

    I travel through an intersection like this several times a week and use the soft blinker if traffic is moving when I approach the intersection. If I have to stop at the light I'll leave my blinker on until traffic starts moving then turn it off. I also don't think signals are always warranted...

    Rivian launches "ALSO" micromobility EV startup for e-bikes, scooters, other small electric vehicles

    I, for one, would love to see a legitimate competitor to Future Motion's OneWheel. I know I'm just dreaming here but that's what I want to see!

    What is your Rivian's name / nickname?

    I named mine Rocko! Rivian blue reminded me of his shirt. I even thought about getting a wrap in that design for a split second (could you imagine). Funny seeing him here on the forums

    Vermont State inspection

    Girlington Garage in South Burlington is where I went. I live right around the corner so I had my X3 inspected there last year before selling it and went back for the R1T last month. They have worked on a few Rivians and told me they have an EV "specialist" that does all the EV work. However...

    Random Rivian Photos of the Day - Post Yours! 📸

    I don't have sliders/running boards. I do most my off roading on two wheels so was thinking of just adding mud flaps for the dirt and gravel roads. I bet the mud flaps are keeping a good bit of mud off your step surface. Rally Armor's option looks like it would cover more but it doesn't block...

    Random Rivian Photos of the Day - Post Yours! 📸

    hello fellow Vermonter. Love the color choices. The forest green with bronze/gold wheels was a close second for me. It looks great, dirt and all! I am curious to hear your opinion on those mud flaps though. I'm on the fence about getting a set and this picture ain't selling them but then again...

    Can we start waving???

    R1s have been multiplying up here so quickly the idea of waving to others has lost its exclusive allure rather quickly. Me and the other riv blue R1T are in our own club though. I can count on the blue crew!✌

    Rivian R1S Gen 2 Review of Chilewich and Rivian All-weather Floor Mats

    Yeah I got them and regret it. The lack of coverage under the gas pedal is the worst part. I'm probably gonna replace these before next winter with Tuxmat. They were great in my last car.

    Semi-auto Driving... Lane control.

    I'm pretty sure you're just using the assist in a way it was not designed for. Lane keep assist is there to make sure you don't run off the road while texting, or whatever. Its not meant to steer for you. I think its abrupt nature is intended because its meant to grab your attention not enable...

    What do you think of Dual Motor Performance? | Views on Sport Mode in particular

    For most people the performance upgrade is probably excessive and unnecessary but I think it really depends on what you want out of it. If you just want more straight line power you might not find it appealing or worth while due to the ride quality concessions. And lets be honest, for public...

    2025.06 Update Release Notes

    Oh, I thought all these complaints were for the use case where you're in AP and its switching between FWD and AWD. I have switched between sport and AP on the highway maybe once or twice. I am heading on a 400mi round trip this weekend so I'll play around with drive mode changes while under...

    2025.06 Update Release Notes

    Someone else mentioned the same hope and if I were yall I would open a service request for this issue because its could be more than just a software problem. My dual motor is smooth as butter FWIW.
