  1. Rivian's Excellent Response to 1st Gen R1S Lemon - CA

    @S3_Sparky Sill curious this if you don't mind sharing: How many miles were on it? How much did you get?
  2. BestEvMod’s August Giveaway for Rivian Owners!

    Hitting 20,000 miles on the one-year anniversary of getting my 2024 R1T (04 August). That's Mt Hood in the background. Since I spend most of the winter skiing at Mt Hood Meadows, it seemed like the most appropriate spot for the 20k milestone. That's a lot of miles in one year, and I don't even...
  3. Oregon Sold: Küat Piston SR Bike Racks (2) - New Condition with Locks and Keys

    I am selling two brand new Küat Piston SR Bike Racks that are from Rivian, but can be used on other roof rack systems. I bought these in June and used them a couple of times locally. They are fantastic, but my wife and I are going to go with a Küat hitch rack system. $475 ea / $900 for both...
  4. New Rivian Video/Ad - “What If?”

    This is much, much better than the "Lemonade" and "Ice Cream Truck" spots. I realize it's 3x longer, so not entirely apples-to-apples, but even a 30-second version of this would beat those. It does a better job of showcasing the vehicles and what they can do; offers a better origin story and...
  5. Looking for a Rivian Blue Matte PPF in the Portland Metro Area

    That’s a great idea! I never would’ve thought of that. I will pass it along for sure. Thank you so much. You have earned your Good Gary Karma of the day. Spend it wisely!
  6. Looking for a Rivian Blue Matte PPF in the Portland Metro Area

    Like you, I have seen a few blue ones in the city (and many blue ones at various Rivian events), but never a wrapped blue in person. With luck, the unicorn will be found and a location provided. Long live Gary Good Karma!
  7. Looking for a Rivian Blue Matte PPF in the Portland Metro Area

    Just curious if any of you have or know of a Rivian Blue with matte PPF in the Portland Metro. I have a friend looking to wrap his new R1T, but he's only been able to see the matte PPF on Rivian Blue in photos. Seeing one in person would be super swell. Any leads will be rewarded with an...
  8. Overnight demos launched -- bring Gen 2 R1S or R1T home for a night

    I think this is great, no matter the inventory reality (i.e., if sales have indeed collapsed). People who are new to EVs and such a tech-forward platform (like Rivian) need more time than a 30-minute demo can provide. Take one home, see how it feels in the driveway, drive it to dinner, and wake...
  9. Rivian (driver) blamed for death of a teen hit in school parking lot

    There was considerable speculation about this yesterday, so I reached out to the KTLA writer and editor on this. If you go to page two of this message thread, you can find what I asked them and the reply I received (and posted with permission) in message #21.
  10. Rivian (driver) blamed for death of a teen hit in school parking lot

    I think that’s a great question and you should definitely ask Rivian yourself (although I pride myself on being a good writer, you don’t need me for this). Let me know what you learn. As for why I reached out to KTLA, I found myself speculating about a news story, so I decided rather than...
  11. Rivian (driver) blamed for death of a teen hit in school parking lot

    To try and get clarification on things, I emailed the source (KTLA). Below is my email inquiry to the byline reporter (Josh DuBose) with a CC to the Director of Digital Content, Marc Sternfield: Josh, I am reaching out because your story, “Teenage boy killed, 5 others hurt in parking lot...
  12. Rivian (driver) blamed for death of a teen hit in school parking lot

    Indeed, and you compounded and perpetuated the sensational journalism through a misleading headline and post here. They made a point to call out the Rivian by name and you made a point to further echo the decision here through a sensational/provocative headline. If you think the make and model...
  13. Rivian (driver) blamed for death of a teen hit in school parking lot

    Also, blaming poor journalism or using poor journalism as an excuse to mislead (even through contextual omission) makes a person culpable (even if just morally). The reality is that this story doesn't even belong in this forum. It was about a tragic event in which a young life was taken, and...
  14. Rivian (driver) blamed for death of a teen hit in school parking lot

    I was just coming to post the same as the commenters above. This is suspected driver error (horribly tragic driver error) and posting it in the manner posted here secondarily compounds the tragedy. It's worse than "clickbait" because it implicates a "Rivian" for a pedestrian death rather than...
  15. Rivian Gear Shop Updated Now! New Apparel and Accessories (June 5, 2025)

    All new items updated to "Available". CarPlay remains unavailable. Ditto PTC Retrofit.
  16. Rivian Gear Shop Updated Now! New Apparel and Accessories (June 5, 2025)

    I suspect the availability status will change in the next couple of hours. Everything initially dropped without pricing and then it was added. My guess is the same will occur for availability.
  17. Rivian Gear Shop Updated Now! New Apparel and Accessories (June 5, 2025)

    Items are posted. A lot of Gear Guard-inspired offerings. Feels more "playful" than anything else. Some useful accessories have been added, but not many of the frequently requested items. Fun overall I guess, but kind of underwhelming. New apparel includes: Gear Guard Vest in Orange - $90...
