  1. Buying Used 2022 R1S Launch Edition

    Nothing to really be concerned with. I picked up LE with 32k last September. After purchase I was able to get a full service history from Rivian which gave me additional piece of mind. The main thing I'd want to know is if it had the 12V's replaced. Mine went out right at 35,800 miles. The...
  2. Honest Feedback on buying 2023 R1T- knowing what you know

    They should verbally give you some information prior to assuming ownership. After I purchased mine they sent me every invoice with the original owner information redacted.
  3. Honest Feedback on buying 2023 R1T- knowing what you know

    Chiming in since the OP said they were in Houston as am I so I'll focus on that. Wait times are long as others have mentioned all over the country but they are friendly and helpful. My biggest complaint is even with the long wait time to get an appt. It will more than likely sit for a week or...
  4. Joining the adventure tomorrow, what should I know?

    Thanks for the quick response! For anyone else that ends up in the same boat, the cover actually comes in 2 pieces the plastic cover and the silver trim. I wasn't made aware of that originally and got the trim piece today.
  5. Joining the adventure tomorrow, what should I know?

    More info on these thumbs screws you mention. I just had to purchase a replcement cover cause I was to lazy to crawl under to make sure I secured it correctly. $220 mistake!
  6. Changing Drive Modes

    ^ This, it won't go into conserve mode from AP or sport above 80 or 85 mph. Can't recall which speed but I've experienced it. I think it actually grey'd conserve out.
  7. Help a prospective buyer pull the trigger (or not)

    One thing no one has mentioned in this thread solely based on the OP's final list of Rivian vs. Ioniq 5 is the software. The Rivian's software stack is miles ahead of Hyundai's with the Hyundai bordering on painful. It doesn't sound like you plan on road tripping it but the route planning in...
  8. Rivian Boston Spaces

    Visited the new Rivian Boston Space while out there for the holidays. Great location and a pretty cool spot, although Austin is a little cooler. They offered up a RIS Tri demo and we ended up driving it around the city to sight see. Not enough to get me out of my OG RIT Quad but nice indeed.
  9. R1T Appreciation Post While Stuck with Rental Car(s)

    Absolutely! Took the EV6 on the same route yesterday with no such issues. Just a quik charging stip at the outlets for enough juice to get it back to the Airport today. These rental car companies are pretty uneducated on EV's. When we went to swap the car out as I told them this wasn't...
  10. R1T Appreciation Post While Stuck with Rental Car(s)

    So while I'm visiting NE we had to rent a car as well. We reserved a model Y or equivalent. After standing in the rental car line for 2 hours they gave us a Kia Niro (which they called an equivalent). We took it as I didn't have the energy to fight and they clearly were lacking for cars...
  11. R1T Appreciation Post While Stuck with Rental Car(s)

    I thought they could, I don't know if that's what they intend to do but we'll see. They've at least started working on it.
  12. R1T Appreciation Post While Stuck with Rental Car(s)

    Can't agree more with 3. Dropped my truck off Monday to replace the wireless charger which was scheduled 3 months ago. They haven't touched mine either becuase of not having any available techs. Can't possibly be more than 3 hours of work. They messaged me Friday to appologize for the delay...
  13. Study: Less than 1% of EV owners would return to full gas-powered vehicles

    We recently became a 2 EV household by replacing my wifes Q5 hybrid with an SQ6 e-tron. I ended up with the R1T by actually researching BEV's for her as she was sold on going full BEV after having the Q5. I don't see any scenario where we would go back to ICE other than the fact that I still...
  14. Conserve Mode Philosophy - how often do you use it.?

    Great responses from everyone. As I mentioned I pretty much deduced it was a moot point when I posted this. Love hearing the different perspectives though. Sport Mode all the time it is! LOL. I think my primary use case may be towing my Jet Ski's.
  15. Conserve Mode Philosophy - how often do you use it.?

    I live in the land of Houston Texas where every trip is typically 20 miles plus of mostly freeway driving. For example going to work is 19 miles of highway, my family visits on the weekends are 30 and 35 plus, my golf outings are usually at least 20 miles and again mostly highway. In theory I...
  16. Regenerative Braking Too Strong: Dealbreaker for Me?

    I'm going on 4 weeks with my R1T (first EV) and while it takes some getting used to I did quickly. So much so that driving my car or my wifes SUV I find myself yearning for 1 pedal capability.
  17. Rivians ... Rivians Everywhere

    Here in Houston they're still a rare sighting and I have paid attention since I decided I wanted one a couple months ago. I could count on one hand how many I'd see in a month. Since getting mine 2 weeks ago I have been on the road with at least one at my side every time I leave the house...
  18. New (used) R1T Owner - Delivery & Eval Recommendations

    I picked up my 22 LE a couple of weeks ago and Rivian Customer service has been great so far. Most of your questions have been answered. While I was communicating with rivian chat on a couple of items I asked for a complete service history for my truck. The next day I had every service center...
  19. Introductions & Welcome Thread 👋

    Thanks everyone and yes Brian mine does have the the 22" brights. I wanted dark but I've grown to like the contrast after having dark wheels on my 4 previous vehicles. May pick up a set of Gold/Bronze 20" with A/T's to switch it up a bit from time to time.
