    Why R1T outselling Lightning 4-1?

    Let's see, Ford has massive distribution, a dealer on every corner, a 100 year old brand vs a startup with no distribution and scattered service centers, yet Rivian is massively outselling the Lightning? Why? Edit: I messed up on the number - while Rivian doesn't break out sales numbers per...

    Real world range, approx. equivalent to Model X LR

    I recently made trips to the LAX airport and back (about 220 miles round trip) in both my 2022 Rivian R1S Large Pack and my 2021 refreshed Model X Long Range (the current latest version of the Model X). Both times, I drove spiritly, all freeway driving. In both cars, starting at 100% charge, I...

    NAV telling me to charge when arrival miles less than 50 miles?

    Went on a longish trip today. On the way back, it kept trying to route me to charging stations because I had set a route that would have finished with a somewhat low number of miles (just under 50 miles) remaining. It was quite annoying, I just wanted the nav to route me home, not to chargers I...

    R1S wanders on freeway, alignment fix?

    Ever since I got my R1S a few weeks ago, it will ping pong or wander in its lane when driving on the freeway. I have 20” AT tires. Steering wheel isn’t dead center either. Would an alignment fix the wandering problem?

    Anyone else not like Rivian's sounds?

    Three in particular: The govt mandated low speed sounds that sounds like an overheated fan/blower? Other EV manufacturers found sounds that weren't objectionable, I have no idea what Rivian was trying to do with their sound. When the car locks, it chirps, but it does so at the same time as the...

    Rear Wiper Fluid Not Working

    Anyone got their rear window wiper fluid spraying in their R1S? I press the rear window fluid button on the stalk, keeping it held down and I hear a whine from the front area, which presumably is the wiper fluid pump, but no fluid comes out the back. Front wiper fluid comes out fine.

    Cabin too air tight, doors won't close easily

    When my windows are rolled up, when I shut my final door closed, it often doesn't close all the way, being restricted by air pressure inside the vehicle. Seems there's not enough air venting. When a window is open, the doors close very easily, when all windows are closed, I have to give the...

    XM options?

    Has anyone done an after market addition of an XM radio? My wife wants to listen to the news channels on XM ... the app doesn't work well since we are in a cellular reception challenged area. And if you don't remember to fiddle with your phone before leaving, it is a pain in the butt. Or...

    Tesla to allow non Tesla EVs to use their Superchargers

    In today's Tesla quarterly conference call, Elon Musk laid out how Tesla will allow non Tesla EV owners to charge at their Superchargers. In a nutshell, there will be an app for that. Using (presumably) the standard Tesla app, you'd create an account with your credit card. Once you arrive at a...
