Felt like Rowdy Burns was on my inside!......
If you don't get the reference, then you're much younger than I am!! LOL!
I previously praised the Driver+ lane keeping ability. And for the most part, it has generally been pretty good. But, several others posted issues that they've had with it...
EDIT 09/23/2022 - HAPPY TO REPORT, GOT THE TPMS WORKING. SEE DETAILS BELOW.
ALSO, AFTER NOW A COUPLE OF MONTHS, HAVE DECIDED I'LL LIKELY NEVER TAKE THE TRUCK OFF ROAD. SO AM GOING TO MAKE YET ANOTHER CHANGE AND GO WITH 22" STREET WHEELS / TIRES. WILL BE SELLING THIS SET IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED...
Edited to correct pricing of the Tesla. Actually $130,000 if you get equivalent 22 inch wheels and select the 7 seat option.
Now that we have the details about the Rivian SUV, only fair to compare it to the only other SUV that makes sense to compare to.
But really, the Rivian R1S is in a class...
Got in another mini-trip of about 150 miles today. At my destination finally got to test out the onboard power outlets.
3-PRONG PLUGS
Tried to plug in anything with three prongs and the truck said NO. shut off power to the outlets each time, the second I plugged anything in. Including just a...
Sorry, probably been answered somewhere before. Have experience with how Tesla does their updating. Is Rivian the same way? I keep getting e-mails about the newly released update, but don't have it on my truck. Assuming it will pop up to install on it's own? But figured I'd ask if there's...
Well that wasn't fun. A nice and cool 106 degree day and the AC was blowing out HOT, HOT, HOT air. tried turning it off and on 100 times, different settings, etc, etc. Seats weren't working either. Got up to 109 inside the cabin. Yeah, not fun.
Tried to do the reset with the far left and far...
REVISED POST - 06/25/2022 - Read as much as you like. Full details below, after the photos as I know that’s what most will want to see first.
Keep in mind, my details are about the sizing choices, not the style of the wheel, which of course will be a personal preference to each individual...
Took my first mini-trip with it today. L.A. to Bakersfield and back. Over the grapevine. Decided to stop and fill it up before coming back over the grapevine as I'm still not sure what the real world range is and just wanted the security blanket. Turns out, total trip took 119 kwh, apparently it...
Finally got to put the Navigation system to the test today. Had 16 properties I had to visit back to back. All in tight canyon roads and out of cell range.
Having come from Tesla's after 8 years, in which they just added the ability to do way points just a few months ago, was a feature I truly...
I tried a Model 3, after having Model S cars. Hated the 3. One of the reasons was the stiff suspension. When I went back to the Model S Raven 2 months later, was in heaven.
The Rivian reminds me of that. For those that haven't seen my other posts. I'm fortunate to have both, the Lightning and...
Sharing my accessories purchase list for anyone interested..............

Found a second set of wheels / tires to use for long distance travel as they'll be much more efficient for highway use than the 20" all-terrains. But, need to get a second set of TPSM's for it so the truck can still read the tire pressures.
I know most of these things are fairly generic and...
Reading that the gear tunnel is stated to have an 18.1 inch width and 20.3 inch height. I guess maybe that's true if you're inside and measuring at an angle for the width. However, the door being an odd shape, in terms of straight up and down, if you have a solid object that measures 18.1" x...
If anyone has a delivery coming soon and is willing to part with their order/account, will pay $10K for the rights to the reservation. Send me a Private Message with the details. Serious offer. Thanks
Hoping a few owners can chime in
My delivery is "scheduled" for tomorrow. Any advice on specific things to look for before accepting the vehicle. Any problem areas. I have my list, but possibly there's been a problem area that I should add to my list?
Thanks in advance for any feeback.
Haven't seen any posts. I know Rivian advertised that these things would have driver assist features.
Wondering if it's working on any that have been delivered?
Hoping at least lane keep assist and traffic aware cruise control works on the freeways??
Hoping some owners can respond?
Thanks
I have my current Tesla insured through Tesla as their price was much lower than I could find for it.
Just got the quote on the Rivian and WOW! It's not cheap. Perfect driving record. Over 30 years experience and they came back at $347 per month. Paying $113 for a Model S Tesla. Now waiting for...
Have seen video's where the Rivian outlets would not successfully start a charge session in an attempt to trickle charge another EV or electric bike.
One of my hesitations with the Rivian is the fact that the truck only offers a maximum of 1500W of output between its two 110v plugs.
My thought...
My account just updated, putting by my originally configured Truck, which had been missing since I cancelled my order following the price increase. It's now back at a slightly reduced price from before. Had to go in and manually add the tonneau cover and spare tire back to the order. $1,500, but...
Happy to see that the Rivian world we live in has been restored to pre-03/01/2022 life. It's as if that date was just a bad dream!!
Hi "Redacted",
Good news! Next week, your Rivian Account Page will reflect your pre-March 1, 2022 preorder pricing. Going...
