I've not seen dimensions published to address this question: are the roof rack connectors spaced the same on the R1S and R2? I'm wondering if the R1S roof rack that i still have will fit the R2.

Circumstances have changed in our house and we no longer need two 4wd/ SUV vehicles. Since the Rivian is still worth a chunk, I’m looking at selling it… although I do love it! I know many folks here have dealt with Carvana; just wondering if you know of other outfits that operate in the same...

For entertainment value only: I know, it’s only 15 minutes worth. But it’s still nice to see. R1S, Minnesota, about 35F, back roads about 40 mph in Conserve.

I have two charging locations— home and cabin. Each has a Rivian wall charger. Last week at the cabin my wife actually set a schedule, for it to finish charging late morning before we departed. We’re now at home, and I plugged in last night, expecting the R1S to start charging when I had the...

Living in Minnesota with a cabin in Wisconsin, I’m dealing with cold weather now, like many others. I have a Rivian wall charger at both locations. When I can, I’ve run some informal tests regarding warming the battery, range vs. battery temp, etc. Tomorrow, I’ll do a 3-hour charge just before...

I made an appointment at the Mpls. SC in early December to have a few things done on my R1S. At 16K miles it’s time for another tire rotation, but the biggie was that the cameras had all gone down, and the vehicle was (still) confusing me with my wife and randomly changing our cabin settings...

If you have @twraps front bumper film, how much difference does it really make when it comes to cleaning bugs off the front? Is it a quick rinse, or is there still scrubbing involved? I’m getting tired of spending time on bug removal once a week, but I’d like to know if it’s really worth it to...

I have the Rivian roof racks. I’m creating a set of pads to sit in between the canoe gunwales and the roof rack upper surface. I’m reasonably strong, but only 5 foot 8, and my wife is certifiably short at 5-0. So…how do we get the canoe up there without smacking the bow on the glass roof and...

I towed my Wells Cargo trailer back to the Twin Cities from Wisconsin yesterday, 110 miles and got 1.78 mi/kwh! The original tow mode would have given me about 1.1 mi/Kwh. With a trailer like mine, this very small range hit makes a whole lot more sense than just chopping it in half like the...

If you're in the MSP area, head over to the Clubs section and join "Paul Bunion's Garage." There's a potential meet-up on 4/13 in the works. Link: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/groups/paul-bunyans-garage-of-minnesota.55/

I’ve had my R1S for about three months, and have made numerous trips from MSP area to my cabin in northern WI. For now, I’m charging up north on a wall outlet, but— it’s a 20 amp outlet, a GFI actually, and a 20 amp rated one at that…which I wired with 12/2. And of course it’s on a 20 amp...

Good morning folks. A weird thing happened overnight and I can’t figure out if this is normal or not. Wife and I have had our R1S for one week; we’re still very much in the educational phase. This is our first EV. Last night I drove the car, parked in the garage, got out and walked into the...

I just took delivery of my Glacier White R1S, after ordering in Feb. of 2022 and finally grabbing one from the Shop. The St. Louis Park service center just outside of Minneapolis did a perfect job of prepping my R1S, and Steve spent nearly two hours with the bride and I going over all the...

I noticed this morning that the 21” road wheels are not available. I’ve never seen that before…wondering…this can’t be permanent, can it?

I have R1 Shop access. I’m headed out of town (country) soon, but as soon as I return I’ll be monitoring the R1Shop like a duck dog trembling with anticipation for the command to fetch the bird. Here be the question(s): how many vehicles get added to the shop daily? I’m seeing 5-10 new ones...

If you have an R1S, can one of you please measure the door sill height in kneel mode? Rivian doesn’t list that spec and I can’t find it mentioned in the forums. Thank you!

Greetings all. I was invited to schedule my first mile drive today for my R1S reservation and have now scheduled it. Here’s my question: does that invite portend a “sooner” delivery of your vehicle? Or is it totally independent of delivery date? My current delivery date is slotted for Jan-June...

Spitballing exercise for the engineers on this forum… There have been reports from new owners of the R1S that compared to the R1T, the handling gets squirrelly with aggressive acceleration. For the geeks who understand things like suspensions, weight distribution, torque and all the other...

Hi all. I’ve read everything I can about towing and watched a pile of videos, but have not yet found the answer to the following question: we know that when you plug in a trailer and switch to tow mode, your estimated range drops by half. But— after towing, and you unplug, does your range...
