I wasn't really planning to make a video so this was shot on my phone through the windshield, sorry about the bugs! My camera work is shaky, and my video editing skills are... barely adequate. Still, I figured I'd share my experience. This wasn't a challenging trail for the most part. My...

I’ve been reading the back-and-forth on the various charging threads and I’ve been trying to come up with a solution which makes most people happy. As if. The closest I got is this: Tesla spins off the SuperCharger network into a separate profit-driven company so there is no favoritism among...

If you’re taking delivery soon then I hope yours goes as well as ours did! Things went very smoothly. Way, way better than any other new car buying experience I've had. Everything looks great, and it is nearly flawless as far as I can tell. There is one minor issue: when the lift gate opens it...

I’ve been wondering about the R1 Shop vehicles which are a Launch Edition with the All Terrain Package. It wasn’t possible to order that configuration, was it? I could be mistaken but I’m pretty sure the All Terrain Package as being shipped (underbody shield, 20” wheel with all terrain tires...

Something caught my eye in https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/r1s-dim-reverse-lights-fixed.13905/ “The Heat and Air system has been split into 3 zones! The second and third row seats have separate climate controls.” I did a quick search for this and didn’t see anything on the forum that...

So I was watching The Expanse during my lunch and I noticed something about Naomi Nagata’s tattoos. Sorry for the crappy pic but the Prime Video app won’t permit a screen shot on an iPad. Zoom! Enhance! (Or whatever they used on Blade Runner) While not exactly the Rivian logo, it looks like...

My mom asked if I’d seen this MSNBC article Rivian Falls Apart, which I hadn’t. I’ll be as kind as I can be and simply write that it seems heavily biased to me. Did anyone else see this and have any thoughts?

I saw these at IKEA and I thought they looked like Rivian stadium headlights. They come in different sizes but I thought the 9-1/2" x 5" looked about right without a Rivian present for comparison. Link: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/ikea-365-serving-plate-white-20278365/

If Rivian offered an option to replace the sunroof glass with a piece of paintable, rigid material the same size and shape as the existing glass so there is no view of the sky, would you be interested? This assumes the material (metal, composite, etc.) would be painted on the outside and be...

For those who already have their R1, I was wondering: Does the vehicle notify you that the flashlight is missing from the driver’s door when you get into the car or take it out of Park? I’m asking because Rivian has the ability to lock the camp speaker in place, but as far as I know the...

I looked through the current version of the owner’s guide and I couldn’t find anything. Is there a manual parking brake release or override? I’m looking for something (typically hidden) which you have to manually move to release the electric parking brake if it fails. Our Land Rover has a steel...

I’m just an IT guy who likes to improve systems which interact with people and I know a little about cars, except for vehicle production about which I know effectively zero. Right now I see a LOT of people getting frustrated because they haven’t had so much as a guide contact and they are...

I saw this in another thread and figured I should start a new thread in the Tires, Wheels, Suspension, Brakes area rather than go off-topic. Auto-adjust at stop lights under the right circumstances may be intentional. Our Land Rover will do this and it was a little unsettling until I figured...

Outside of a Rivian facility, Rivian event, or Rivian owner gathering, how many Rivians have you seen just driving around? We were heading to dinner this evening and as we approached a traffic light I said, “Ooh, a Rivian!” after seeing an R1T in Rivian blue on the opposite side of the...

Given the volume of messages on this site I could‘ve missed something even after searching so forgive me if this has been discussed. I know that so far two Rivian executives each received an R1S. Have any other R1S deliveries taken place? Is Rivian delivering early examples to regular...

I did some searching on the forum and the R1T manual but couldn’t find anything about this. The power controlled HVAC vents on the dash always struck me as overkill... :idea: Unless they’re tied to the driver profile. Does anyone know if this is the case? This is not mentioned in the...

I don’t think I’m alone in thinking more and more frequently, “I can’t wait until I get my Rivian so I <don’t have to deal with some issue any more / gain some feature>!” Since all of the recent reviews and videos were released, this has been popping into my mind a lot more. As just one...

Chewing critters are apparently very fond of the soy-based wire insulation which is increasingly used as a green alternative to petrochemical wire insulation. Since many Rivian owners will be camping in or with their vehicles that means they will be parked for extended periods in nature. Is...

I think this is the right place for this, but I’m hoping the site administrator will move to a different area if not. There seem to be some posters here who truly believe in the superiority of Tesla over Rivian and they seem intent on… something. I just don’t understand what their desire is. Do...
