  1. Current Rivian owners - What’s one change that would make you happier?

    disagree. when the 12V is failing the vehicle could switch to HV12v, Yes this is new hardware element but not rocket sci. Warning to repair 12v would be displayed.
  2. Current Rivian owners - What’s one change that would make you happier?

    My vent. Ability to proactively determine 12V health and self replace. Not even asking for a 12V from the HV battery emulating an ICE alternator as they should have designed to begin with!
  3. 12 Volt battery needed to change.

    i totally concur. ICE much, much more benign. They didn't have to do it this way. The big battery could furnish an "alternator" output but always on/ The 12v battery would be backup for emergency lights. Fed law, i think. I dream on. People just don't entiendo!
  4. The third row heating doesn't work.

    Just an idea. In extreme conditions plug an electric blanket? 110V:like:

  8. R1T bricked in my driveway

  10. The Truth About Reliability

    If an ICE 12V dies you jump it then the alternator lets you drive to parts store for easy install of fresh battery. No tow/turtle. No Comparison. My primary RIV complaint. It doesn't have to be this way.

  12. Rear-Ended: Looking for Rivian-Certified Recommendation

    As a side note. My R1S was rear ended a few months back.
