My last four vehicles were BEVs. I love what they offer me and really appreciate how they drive. Regen is amazing. Nothing beats single pedal driving. My R1s was just a total pain to drive. Minor bumps felt like huge potholes. Maybe it was the 22” wheels? We all have different perspectives and...
Actually, did not lose money. got original pricing, got the full tax break. Sold for $68K. We have solar at home and charged only at home. When you factor in saved gas for two years, I think I came out ahead.
Hello all, I have owned my R1S since September of 2022, S/n 665. I want to share my experiences and thoughts on ownership from the moment I ordered it to the day I sold it, 6-6-24
As an early adapter, I grew through all of the stages with Rivian. I had. my order canceled when the price increase...
Since the last update, my maps is all messed up. Mainly my location arrow is not even close to be centered. The default view is miles apart as opposed to a more close up view. If I move it, the "recenter" button pops up on the bottom. The only way it seems to work "normally" is when I have a...
My front tires lasted 10,000 miles. I was a heavy conserve mode user. Since buying new ones from Rivian, I was advised to run in all purpose mode. Inflating to 50 pounds seems high too. In my experience these tires just can't handle to load. OR I've got to lose a few pounds: 6'3" 225. Maybe its ME?
Thanks for the kind words. I was blown away by the Carmax bid. At the End of the day, I'm just going to keep the car. I love it. The stuff around it (service center) is what's annoying.
I have a Launch edition R1S and after almost a year with it, I am open to selling the vehicle.
It has all of the normal launch edition trim along with 22" wheels.
10K in miles. Ceramic coating and tinting. Selling because I'm not happy with the distance away I am from the El Segundo service...
thank you for sharing your experience. I totally agree on the steering. My wife's model Y performance has much better "feel" when driving. Rivian feels like if I sneeze I'll crash the car.
Could be. Strange though. Tires were bought at Rivian. Wouldn't they make sure they were mounted and balanced properly??? sounds kind of basic? Not sure I don't know squat about these vehicles
Actually, I'm disappointed in Rivian service. My other experiences are far better than with Rivian. BMW got me in promptly. Had a BMW loaner for me and got my car back in a prompt manner. Rivian is nothing like that so far.
Greetings all. Backstory, since day 1 my R1S alignment has been wrong. Pulls to the right. Finally 10K miles later, I got it aligned. Then I had to replace the two front tires 22'. $1200 bill of joy for those Pirelli Scorpions.
Ever since I got the SUV back, when I accelerate to between 75-85...
Thank you to all who have taken the time to respond. In regards to the air compressor, I was never shown how to use it. (Not that dumb) But it was still in its original bag when I needed to use it. First the connector did not work and second, whatever hose I had did not reach my right front...
Did you ask service about this? The connector hose that came with mine reaches all four tires.
Yes, At the service center, we opened up the hatch and pulled out the cable. It was brand new. How do you get yours to reach the front right tire from the back left nozzle?
Got my R1S in Sept 22. Its been a wonderful ride for the most part. Delivery at the El Segundo center was ok, I got the first one in the LA area, so the delivery guys were figuring it out along with me.
1. Skip CONSERVE MODE: As I just spent $1200 on two new front tires. Worrying about range, I...
Live in Malibu, have a launch R1S. From day one, it has always pulled to the right. Coming up on 8500 miles (Sept 22 delivery) Need a place to take the truck for tire rotation and alignment. Went to a few of my local places and they don't have the equipment to do the work(alignment) due to how...
Have an R1S xxx665, (early model). Love it. One quirk I noticed is that many times when I get into the vehicle and "start" it the windsheild wiper does a cycle.
I have my windshield wipers set to "auto" and live in SoCal ( we are done with our epic rains now) so does anyone know why? and if so...
Got this email. I'm someone that keeps his key card in my wallet in my R1S. I've done that since day 1. I've always used the phone as a key (tesla days) Of course, when the email came out, i was at work and had no way to get a spare. I work 40 miles from my home where all my other keys are...
Perspective? What are you used to? What are your expectations? What can you do to seek a remedy? Dealbreakers? What are hoping for by posting on this forum?
I have an R1S. I got in Sept 22. To chronicle my entire journey with Rivian would take longer than its worth my time. In sum, I went from...
1.I'd love to see more integration with Apple products. Not that Carplay is the bomb, but I love my apple ecosystem.
2. More options on the map. I like being able to pinch and have it stay at that size.
3. Better renderings for traffic on the maps. The lines could be bolder.
4. Intermediate...
