Curious if anyone here has had problems with reliability of the bed-mounted compressor. I typically use mine sparingly. Probably 1-2 times per year. It just died for the 2nd time in 3 years of ownership. The LED display works fine to set a target pressure and to read pressure of the connected...

Today I was checking the GoodYear website to see if the Territory AT is back in stock and noticed a new option: https://www.goodyear.com/en_US/tires/wrangler-electricdrive-at/25328.html It is available in two Rivain-compatible sizes: 275/60R20 116T 275/65R20 116H They are 3PMSF rated and come...

So, it appears that I butt-dialed my R1T this afternoon. I went to the gym after work. When I returned to the office parking garage there were two security guards standing next to my truck. The tailgate was down, hood open, windows vented and the right gear tunnel door unlocked (not fully...

I suspect a bunch of folks here have captured wildlife on Gear Guard or Drive Cam videos. Share yours here. This big dummy standing in the middle of the road nearly ruined an otherwise lovely afternoon drive, pacific sunset, and dinner. I learned that the brakes work well when you stomp on them.

Not Rivian-specific but it is an interesting high-level summary of R&D efforts at top-tier tire manufacturers. https://www.wired.com/story/the-race-to-create-the-perfect-ev-tire/

I have been fortunate. 1.5 years and 30k miles without any 12v battery problems. However, I know that many others have endured frustrating failures. It got me wondering just what % have failed. I imagine that build date, mileage, dual vs. single batteries, charging habits, and environmental...

Spotted a camouflaged Rivian this morning on I280 southbound this morning. Manufacturer plates. Presumably headed for the Rivian Palo Alto offices. It looked to me like a standard R1S. Presumably a test vehicle for software or electronics updates. Unless some eagle-eyed forum member can identify...

Doesn’t sound serious, but still not good news. https://www.wglt.org/local-news/2024-04-25/fire-forces-evacuation-of-rivian-plant Fire forces evacuation of Rivian plant A fire at the Rivian plant in Normal forced the evacuation of the plant for an hour and a half Thursday morning. The fire...

I stopped by the car wash after work today to undo the mud and dust I added this weekend. I noticed for the first time the car wash mode status picture on the app and had to smile. Fun!

Lately I have noticed other cars flashing their high beams at me when driving at night. It seems like they think I have my high beams on when, in fact, it is just the normal headlights. Has anyone else noticed this also? I’m thinking that maybe the light bar plus headlights is more than people...

As reported by Electrek. The original reporting from Automotive News is behind a paywall. The State of Illinois is working with Rivian for additional incentives as it prepares to build R2 in the state. According to Automotive News, Illinois looks to double down on the EV maker with new...

I think that maybe I have been cooped up at home too much while nursing a broken ankle. A hint: today my better half said “we need to make it a goal for you to go outside once a day.” Translation: “you’re a grump, get outta here.” Normally this would mean strapping the tailgate pad to the R1T...

R1T ranked 2nd. R1S ranked 6th. https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/car-reliability-owner-satisfaction/10-most-satisfying-cars-owner-satisfaction-a2239167129/ Edit: Yes, behind a paywall (sort of). Should be accessible with a free membership signup. Adding screenshots here.

I pre-ordered a set of @EV Sportline R1000 wheels with Nokian Hakkapeliitta LT3 tires back in August in anticipation for this winter. I liked the look of these, liked the idea of a stock +48 offset, and I anticipate that the tires will perform similarly to the Hakkapeliitta R3 set that I used on...

I’ve been on a family road trip the last few weeks. As a result I have been using DC fast chargers more than usual. 3 out of my last 5 DCFC sessions have stopped after about 4 min. No errors on the charger or the vehicle. It just acts as if charging has finished, when in fact it is still well...

In keeping with the Rivian adventure spirit, my R1T delivery that was going to be today in South San Francisco is being bumped to next Tuesday in Costa Mesa. Without going into the details of the switch I'll just say that my newly assigned guide has been proactive with accommodations given this...
