When I was about to order my gen 2 vehicle there were A LOT of questions about details that nobody had the answer to. So here's a deep dive. I recently picked up my new Gen 2 R1S. But before I did, I drove a Gen 1 loaner R1S for about 2.5 weeks, and I did 700 miles in that time. If you want...

I've noticed that Rivians (I've seen this with 3 vehicles now so I know it's not an anomaly with a single vehicle) have a very unstable charging rate on AC. I've had extensive experience with Ford EVs and Tesla and they charge a pretty stable rates. Rivian on the other hand is all over the...

On Friday at the end of the day I went to pick up my new R1S. When I got there they told me they were wrapping up the cleaning process and I'd be able to inspect my vehicle shortly. After a few more minutes they came out and I could tell by the look on the woman's face she was bracing herself...

I've been keeping my eye on the shop for the last few weeks - specifically on Performance Dual Max with Ocean Coast and Premium Audio. Those are the top 3 options for me. I've seen a few come and go and almost all of them have the All Terrain package. What gives? Is it really that popular that...

For those who don't know what UWB phone key is, it's a different technology that is supposed to be more reliable than the Bluetooth Key. It lives in your Apple/Google wallet. It's supposed to work even if your phone is dead, by tapping it to the door handle like a key card. Bluetooth is used...

TL;DR - does anyone know how to go about having Performance added to a dual motor config pre-delivery? Right now I'm looking at switching from a custom order R1T to a shop R1S to take advantage of the current inventive. 3 "non negotiables" for me are Dual Performance Ocean Coast interior...

Here's what we know: Large Battery has been delayed Large + will not have any extra range vs Large Large + can be charged to 100% regularly since it's "100%" is about 77% of the Max's actual capacity According to RivianTrackr, those who have put in an order for a large battery will be given...

I have a gen 2 R1T on order, but I've yet to see a gen 2 vehicle in person. I'd love to check one out, if nothing else to satiate my excitement. I live fairly close to the Salt Lake City UT service center, but they just have a couple of gen 1 quads. I know Denver (about an 9 hour drive) and...

Is it different from gen 1? Very small detail, but in a couple of videos of gen 2 I heard a chime that sounded different. Less percussive. In both videos people were talking over it though, so I'm not entirely sure. Can anyone confirm?

There seems to be a lot of dissatisfaction with the availability of appointments at Service Centers. I suspect people's experience may vary greatly depending on region. Let's see if that's true! I put together a google Forms Poll to see if there's a correlation between wait times and region...

Has anyone else noticed this? There seems to be a VERY slight background hiss that plays on the turn signal audio file. It's subtle enough that you can really only hear it when the vehicle is not in motion and the air isn't blasting. But in the handful of times I've driven an R1 (still waiting...

Based on what a few people have been saying on the Forum, it seems that while yes, Gen 2 R1S HAS started arriving to customers, it's at a very slow rate. Curious how true this is

Prospective owner here - I'm digging into the gen 2 range claims. Looking at the large battery they're claiming 330 mi for the R1T with 109.4 kWh. That's an average of 3mi/kwh.... Is that as far fetched as it seems? I barely hit 3 with my significantly smaller and more aerodynamic (and...

I'm on the verge of putting in an order for R1T. The current delivery estimate for my build is showing sep-oct. The problem is I won't be ready to buy until closer to nov-dec. When I went to the local service center and did a demo drive, the rep told me that's totally doable. He said that at...

Hey all! I currently daily a Mustang Mach E. I LOVE that car, but it's got it's fare share of shortcomings. Very much a Gen 1 EV. Great looks, nice interior only OK tech. R1 gen 2 has my attention. Rivian seems to do tech well, they're much nicer to spend time in than any Tesla BUT here's my...
