This is a pet peeve of mine. The US did not "loosen" regulations to allow these headlights, nor did we have our heads up our rears all those years that Europe had them and we did not. There is a lot more to it, but essentially European headlight regulations are basically subjective: if a...

I did nothing in my Rivian account, though I did do a demo drive last weekend and my timing has changed from 4-8 weeks to 2-4 weeks.

Thanks for this very thorough post and your thoughtful and detailed follow up replies. I'm sorry you've had so many issues, I feel very lucky after reading your post for the relatively pedestrian issues I've had with mine. It seems like your tech's brake theory has gone up the food chain: I...

I have a Gen 1 R1T and while my PaaK generally works as designed, my main issue is that it is defective by design: none of the proximity lock options provide a satisfactory experience when parked at home. If you turn proximity locking off at home, you may experience additional vampire drain...

Two weeks after supposedly having both 12V batteries replaced (though only being charged for one) my "replace 12V" warning is back on again. :mad:

Oh forgot to add: The turn signal sound in the R2 is ridiculous. I thought the R1 sound was bad, but the R2 sound is just so... gross. It sounds like someone filled a zip top bag with pudding and hit it with paint stirring stick. It's a "thwack" sound with a wet squelchy finish. Laughably...

Another Gen 1 Quad R1T owner who just drove the R2 yesterday. I found the tuning of the R2 accelerator pedal easier to drive smoothly. It seemed to have more of dead-zone when transitioning between acceleration and regen and vice versa. While I have learned to drive the R1T smoothly, it...

I’m a relatively early R1T owner with a relatively early R2 reservation, with a 4-8 week order window as of June 30 2026. The ride quality (on 20” AT) was better than I expected. We were allowed to take it ourselves and we made a point to find bad roads and hit every pothole we could find. The...

- You can build trips in the Rivian app and send them to your vehicle, however it does not appear to have a true dead-reckoning offline mode and requires an internet connection for most navigation tasks while enroute. In this way it is more similar to AA/CP-based Google Maps than a native...

Now you're just trolling to pad the page count on this thread.

THat's ignoring the fact that EVs became economically feasible in large part due to incentives that made their initial purchase cost low enough for their lower running costs to actually net out positively. That allowed the market enough runway to mature to the point where the incentives may no...

I feel like I drew one of those "Bank error in your favor" Monopoly chance cards ;)

My estimate was $750 but was only charged $260 for dual battery replacement (I was only charged for one battery and no labor). It's crazy how all over the place Rivian is with the cost of these battery replacements.

Well, confusingly the pre-visit estimate I signed was for ~$750, but after they left I got a bill for $260 total. The parts line lists only the primary battery, but the resolution line says "replaced primary and secondary battery."

Mobile service just left after replacing both of my Gen1's 12v batteries. That's a spendy visit even with the "duplicate labor" discount. Now it's running the SW update it wouldn't do with the 12V warning active...

It's come up at least 3 times, you clearly have not given each of the 22 pages of this thread the loving attention they deserve! ;)

I've kept the truck plugged in at home but have continued to commute to work and leave it in the parking lot all day. I have not had an issue, but I have moved my external jump box from the frunk into my work bag so I would have easier access to it if I needed it to jump the 12V to unlock the...

No I didn't miss it, but if the truck thinks it can't receive that station it hides it. It's admittedly been a while since I've tried to use FM in my truck because it was so frustrating so I was going a bit off of memory. I think my main complaint is that it automatically applies what used to...

Someone posted earlier that the BOM for an AM/FM/SXM receiver was around $35. Even if we assume SXM was more than half of that cost, an estimate of $2 is still off by an order of magnitude. The other issue I haven't seen anyone mention is how completely awful Rivian's FM implementation is in...
