I haven't seen this posted here yet. Popping up on various news feeds earlier today:

Sorry, I don't have a non-paywalled copy of this article. Just saw it at the top of my feed. Sharing if anyone wants to dig into it further. Seems like some 🐂💩 to me.
I'm pretty tall. The only times I ever lower my vehicle are when I'm loading something heavy into the bed, or occasionally climbing in for something, myself. So why doesn't the "manual lowering" work when the vehicle is in park? Seems pretty dumb if I'm loading something in to have to get...
Just heard them talking about this on our local "news, traffic, weather" station. Hadn't heard anything about it elsewhere.
All I could dig up on it so far:

Saw this in my feed last night:

"The upgrade involves replacing the Center Console Control unit with the same second-generation chip used in 2025 model year vehicles and the...
I hardly ever charge away from home, so apologize in advance if I'm missing something obvious.
Was at the Tysons Corner RAN earlier this week and 4 of 6 stations were offline. A bit annoying since the location is so new. When one finally became available when I pulled the handle out, the entire...
Hate to ask what may be a dumb question, but nothing "obvious" seems to be coming up.
In the Rivian mobile app, if you click on Vehicle maintenance --> Request service --> Resources | Service history --> it shows all of your service history.
Then if you click on a particular date and click on...
When I was at the Rivian store in Tysons Corner last weekend, one of the guys asked my favorite things about my truck. I'm probably in the low single-digits who love that it's zero emissions. So I don't have to worry about my rescue animals getting knocked out by exhaust fumes or dripping oil...
Any wild speculation on this? Apparently the CEO of MEVCO is only a few miles from me and is selling their R1T. I follow them on various social media platforms and think they have a really interesting and unique product offering. Hope the company is doing okay and this isn't a sign the...
*Attention: This seems to be a widespread issue. Recommend keeping your vehicle plugged into L2 if you are affected by this*
So here's a new one. The past few days, my tail lights have been blinking like crazy when the truck is parked in my garage. Draining about 4% battery per day.
Things...
I would have thought someone would have asked this already, but I'm not finding anything. This "charging cost" displayed in the app - is wildly inaccurate. Especially when charging at home.
Not the end of the world, but any way to change it?
Looks like I've joined the club. Went to use my camp speaker a few days ago and it was completely dead. Plugged into USB-C and it eventually turned on, but as soon as I pull the cord out it dies. Suspect the internal battery has failed.
My two year warranty on it expires in three days. I...
Hello, I'm back again with another dumb question. Bullet point #5 on the list on the right: "Open the Vehicle tab, and choose Location":
But you can see in the Vehicle tab, there are menu options for "Display and Lighting", "Access", "Driver Assistance", "Units", "Updates", and "Service"...
I know everyone loves a good complaint about Rivian heating efficiency (or lack thereof). Mine has always been great (hopefully I don't jinx it by posting this). It's been cold and snowing where I am the past few weeks, and my wife (who is perpetually cold) actually complained recently because...
Garage cats not impressed with Chromecast support. I tried to watch some movies through Plex app and it was a stuttery experience. We have Chromecasts on all our TV's so I definitely consider myself knowledgeable. Old truck with Android Auto could play Plex no problem. Maybe I need to move...
It's because I'm going to the Gaithersburg SC, LOL. Six weeks to schedule an alignment (wasn't a long wait imo, they called me several times to move it sooner). Cost $360, alignment "got funky" after I had two front tires replaced due to a puncture a few months ago. Very pleased with the...
I've got some miscellaneous stuff taking up space in my garage. I commute pretty regularly between Manassas Park - Tysons Corner - Gainesville area of Northern Virginia. Lmk if you want to come grab any of this stuff. ?

So this is a dumb question, but randomly refreshing the forum page. What dash layout is this? (at the top of the browser window)
Neither the center display image nor the driver display seem to correspond to any firmware version I'm familiar with?
Thinking about getting an under-seat cover so I can flip the seats forward when carrying large items in the back seat. Any thoughts on the Thunderbolt one vs the EV Sportsline one? Which is thicker material? Any issues folding down the seats while leaving either one of them in-place?
