  1. So, you're thinking about buying an electric truck (R1T)? A new owner's perspective.

    I wish every ICE owner that condemns an EV, especially a Rivian would just spend 10 minutes at the wheel. Gotta believe we would have a lot of converts.
  2. Rivian repair by owner

    Agree. Very disappointed in availability of service information, diagnostic software, and parts. The vehicles are great but as stated still have suspension systems, braking components, relays/ fuses, and shafts and bearings. Some of us are qualified ( even on the hv side) to make these repairs...
  3. Rear Brakes "Seizing" when parked over 4hrs

    My T does the same thing especially if I have washed it recently. It’s the parking brake/ brake hold system but not necessarily a problem. My Tesla will do this occasionally especially if I just washed it
  4. Charging with a generator when boon docking

    While it’s sounds viable most likely require 8-10 solar panels, a charge controller and an inverter to obtain 20 amps 120 vac power. A lot of components but if you had a cabin out in the sticks might be viable.
  5. Rivian "can’t wait to bring R2 to you this year!" (Pre Production Assembly Photos & Happy 2026 New Year Message)

    I am anticipating the Lidar hardware could be in all R2 vehicles with software to follow later in the year. Probably at an additional cost or on a subscription basis. Almost have to have all needed hardware on the initial R2’s or too many buyers may delay their purchases
  6. R2 Delayed?

    I would suggest this speculation post be deleted until there is any shred of credible facts to support it. Any chance this is competitor nonsense.
  7. Has anyone gotten the 2025.46 Update yet? Please tell us your location and date you received.

    Saturday no update yet but as in the past it comes when the system releases it. Usually a couple of weeks after the initial release.
  8. What are Rivian's plans to handle service and support once production ramps up? R2, R3 etc.

    I am hoping the manufacturing process will turn out near defect free vehicles. That’s how a manufacturer makes big money. Current service is a huge cost, and we should not need to take a vehicle back immediately after we receive it for items like body panel adjustments.
  9. 2 month old 2026 Gen 2 R1S - just got the dreaded 12v warning ! ( Resolved)

    Agree I received the message a few months ago and I pushed the first service rep over the phone for a mobile install he said not possible. Knowing this is not an accurate response I spoke with two different service persons and convinced the last person that absolutely it can be done at my home...
  10. R2 Assembly Production Rate & Time Per Vehicle + Annual Capacity (and vs. R1)

    Can’t find much more data and I agree tasks like starting with previously painted bodies is possible. They do stress they are using 95% automation production for speed and quality. Even though many of us don’t care for the CEO his antics, his ability to manufacture efficiently is pretty spectacular
  11. R2 Assembly Production Rate & Time Per Vehicle + Annual Capacity (and vs. R1)

    Definitely less luxury than a Rivian but it’s a quality vehicle and it is profitable. There are millions on the road world wide so they are doing something right. And price is right at $50k.
  12. R2 Assembly Production Rate & Time Per Vehicle + Annual Capacity (and vs. R1)

    No expert but when Tesla can fabricate a model Y in 2.5 hours start to finish seems we have a long away to go with production line efficiency for the R2 to be profitable. This would be data from Teslas most efficient manufacturing line. Their goal is a vehicle coming off the line every 30-40...
  13. Need a bed mat that's rugged, thick and heavy

    Same here bought mine at farm and fleet for $60 three years ago. About 1” thick and almost too heavy for one person to handle. Can’t hurt it.
  14. Recurring R1T 12V Failure — Rivian Refusing LV Battery Replacement Procedure (3 Attempts, No Escalation)

    If it helps when mobile service replaced my batteries a few months ago they did a reset on screen and also did something using their laptop
  15. Recurring R1T 12V Failure — Rivian Refusing LV Battery Replacement Procedure (3 Attempts, No Escalation)

    Agree this is the exact reason I did not change to a better battery chemistry in that if it caused a problem Rivian would either choose not to assist or possible be unable to assist as this could require substantial engineering involvement and a software update they are not interested in...
