Hi Folks,
Sadly my wife’s used R1S woke up a week ago with 110F cabin temp and a critical battery fault. Towed to Hudson SC. Folks there found an HVAC issue at first, swapped the HVAC out, and then, as I kind of expected, when the tow came to pick it up, another HV Battery fault occurred.
So...
I love my T (26’ Tri Max), and love having a truck (my wife won’t let go of the R1S and still need it for family trips/camping), but I’m also interested in the $50k differential with the LE R2. Anyone else considering swapping? 4400# tow covers my boats, and the S can do 7700# so could always...
Hi Folks,
I recently swapped my Dual Standard R1T with the 20” OEM Goodyear Territory for a Tri Max R1T with the 20” AT Dark Pirelli’s.
I really prefer the smoothness of the 20” ride, which is why I opted for these (they won’t let you get the 20” Goodyear setup on any other configuration), but...
Wow, I was playing around on the shop to see what pre-owned popped up, and I didn’t realize any of this color combo was ever actually produced. Wonder how many Christmas R1T’s exist? Haha

Hey folks-
This year winter has been robust up here in Maine, and so my rear camera is constantly covered in road grime. Anyone have a nifty solution for shielding it, 3d printed or otherwise?
thanks!
Hey Folks,
I have mentioned a few times lately that I had a long story about swapping out my R1T, and I now have reached the end of the story, so I figured I would post it here.
Back in early 2025, after receiving my first R1T Dual Standard in September 2024 (one of the first Gen2 R1T's...
Hi Folks,
Long story I’ll post about in a few weeks, but it looks like I’ll be replacing my Dual Standard R1T with a Dual Max R1T. With some weird build decision, they don’t offer the Max pack with the (honestly great) 20” AS/AT wheels the standard pack comes with designed by Brian here on the...
For any Gen2 or I guess any owners since they stopped including them (LE?), it’s available for $400 now.
Debating if I need one or I just steal the one from my wife’s R1S and give her my drawer whenever I camp.
Wonder if they changed it at all?

Hi Folks,
Looking forward to our new RTT arriving in the next few weeks. While not essential, would certainly increasing uptake rate on camping for my wife and eldest child if we can pump the hvac into the tent.
what are folks using? I saw the unit from camp stream, but $500 is a bit steep for...
Finally got a chance to try out the new feature in a round trip from Maine to Boston. I have always been a bit nervous to use anything like this, but it was a tremendous relief being able to on the very long drive back after Boston traffic into the late evening. Worked incredibly well, and I...
Happy Friday!
How many other people have totally lost their minds 🥳 and exclusively (or primary at least, I am sure there are folks who have space have "other" vehicles) have Rivian's as their household vehicles? ✋
Feels a bit crazy, but we love the brand, the drive quality and the overall...
Hi Folks,
Just did a ~250+ mile round trip to southern Maine today with our Gen1 R1S LE that we recently got used with fairly significant mileage (55k).
I wondered what range would look like, has 22” sport dark with Michelin LTX the original owner put on to replace original 20” AT’s pretty...
Just got our R1S Launch Edition to replace the Model Y! Very exciting. Just fits on this side of garage (T goes on other side but there’s stairs here so I knew it would be tight).
Will do a write up in a few weeks on how a VERY early R1S VIN: 3XX is holding up as it approaches warranty (I’ll...
Okay, so, as you all likely know because I have belabored the process on here, I am trading in my Tesla for a used Gen1 R1S Quad to go with our Gen2 R1T, and it should be here in the next week, hooray!
I have been following the used and demo availability for R1S over the past 4 months quite...
Hi Folks,
I have mentioned on here my desire to trade-in our Model Y for an R1S to go with our R1T, given our eldest getting to teen years and needing more space for sports, etc. Of course, our desire to ditch the Tesla has been enormously exacerbated by the past 6 weeks, but I won’t get into...
Hi Folks,
Here in rural Maine we’ve gotten a ton of snow this winter and this morning a fellow parent was stuck in a ditch with their Pilot at daycare. I was really annoyed with myself that I haven’t gotten around to putting a setup for pulling out a stuck vehicle in my truck yet. (The property...
Hi Folks,
Got the Gen2 R1T in September to replace our Honda Pilot because we were always using it for truck things and once we got our Model Y 7-seater it became the daily driver for our family of 5 when everyone needed to be in the car.
We love the T, but as the kids have gotten bigger...
Hi Folks,
Forgive me if this has been explored, but I’m wondering if anyone has seen a difference in range by keeping either of these settings on?
I would like to have AWD on regularly on my Dual Motor, but wondering if there’s a decrease in range or any other wear issues I should be...
