So, have some questions someone here might be able to answer. Last weekend, I had the chance to really check out a Gen 1 R1S Loaner while my '26 R1T was in service. I was really surprised at how little leg room there was in the back of vehicle, especially in the third row. Now, of course many...

Thought I would share some unexpected challenges as well as some good experiences i had when taking my R1T in for service today. I had scheduled an appointment for late in the morning; I live about 80 miles from the closest service center down in Cincinnati. There were no major issues; I was...

I noticed some exposed nuts at the base of my front seats on the inboard side. The outboard sides are covered in some sort of plastic cap. I’ve included some pictures looking down on the floor in front of the front seats. Is everyone’s R1 configured this way? It seems those wells would collect...

Some have speculated on what the increase in gas prices might have on EV Sales. Here's an article tracking some early searches. Seems there is an increase in interest, but no firm data on increased sales yet, following the sales slump with the elimination of the incentive last Q3. Article...

Saw a brand new EDV for the first time in my neighborhood today. They look much more impressive in person. Got to chat with the driver while he was on break. He said the van is fairly new, gets about 190 miles of range, less in cold temps or high winds. He likes how quiet it is. The DC he...

According to this article, evidently, Apple Maps and Tesla navigation don't always agree, Tesla asked Apple to modify Maps, Apple did, but slow adoption in wild. I think it's obvious that Rivian tends to follow whatever Tesla does, for better or worse, but I would be surprised if RJ ever agrees...

So there has been some discussion about car makers starting to add physical buttons back into their vehicles - for lots of reasons, such as customer demand and less driver distraction compared to screen menus. Which got me thinking about where Rivian might put these buttons. I think buttons...

Been thinking about installing some of those polypro garage tiles in my garage, but thought I'd check the community to see if anyone else had done so and what their experience was like. How do they hold up under the weight of an EV? Any regrets or things you'd do differently next time? Thanks!

Thought I'd put down some pros and cons of EVs in general, and my R1T in particular for whatever help or insight it might provide to those considering making the plunge. Please feel free to add or correct, or ask questions and I'll try to answer based on my limited perspective. So, perhaps...

Just a week now into enjoying my brand new Rivian R1T Dual Max Battery (named "Arjuan") and there is certainly a lot to like. (cooled seats, wow, where have you been all my life?) Indeed there is so much in the Rivian design that is so well-thought out and clever and conscientious, I just love...
