  1. Rivian vs Scout (⚠️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS)

    Huh? https://support.scoutmotors.com/en/articles/10034890-what-towing-capacity-will-scout-vehicles-have 7k for the SUV, 10k for the truck. Doesn't seem like a slouch. Lots of doubters in here on Scout for some reason...I personally think they're going to sell like hotcakes if they can get the...
  2. Finished R2 demo test drive? Share your review / impressions

    I just finished my R2 drive (Performance with 20" wheels) and I'm impressed. Felt solid, composed, well-put-together. I'm also kind of annoyed...at how much better it is than my 2025 R1S in almost every way (other than seating capacity). The number one thing is the suspension's on-road...
  3. What did you do TO / WITH your Rivian today? 🧰

    Purchased and hauled some new kayaks down to a spot we have in the woods with a lake. Very peaceful, private, no motors allowed. Brought all the supplies and tools to also assemble a kayak rack/stand on our property and did that project out of the back of the Rivian. I'm not very experienced...
  4. Visual: why R1 cross bars don’t work on R2

    I seriously doubt that is it. No one went "hahaha, if we make the R2 mount points slightly narrower we'll sell more accessories! Let's do that!" That is not how engineering something as complex as a vehicle works. More likely, the requirements for the R2 -- for a whole bunch of reasons (cost...
  5. Poll: Should Rivian Consider a 3-row R2 model?

    Yes, absolutely. This is the point some people might be missing. OP may have not phrased it the best way, calling it a "3 row R2"...but I do want something the size of R1 (or close to it) with three rows, still boxy and somewhat off-roady, but with less complexity. And I think the market would...
  6. Rivian Digital Key Tutorial (How to Install, Use, Share)

    I made a later post...basically no, I never got an invite email, and I had to contact Rivian support to get them to enable it. They did it all via chat on a Sunday. So if I were you I'd just reach out through the app.
  7. Updates continue to add features but reduce dependability

    Of course. I had to reset the vehicle THREE TIMES on a recent road trip -- once to get navigation working again, two times to coax it into charging so we wouldn't be stranded. Believe me, I am no stranger to "turn it off and turn it on again" with this car. My point is, simple stuff like...
  8. Updates continue to add features but reduce dependability

    Yes, same for mine. Add it to the long list of things that should "just work" in a vehicle, but don't work properly in a Rivian. Last night I experienced the joy of the interior lights not turning on at night when I opened a door. It was just...dark. I closed the door, and opened it again...and...
  9. Cancelling my Pre-order, thoughts inside from test drive

    LOL what? I thought the rest of your comments were somewhat understandable, a lot of it coming down to personal preference, but this statement is just absurd. You think the cars are hand painted? Since when does any mass market car get hand painted? Since when does anything other than really...
  10. Any dual motor folks out there?

    I have the dual motor and honestly I have no idea why people feel the need for this thing to be faster. It's a 7k pound SUV, it's never going to feel remotely close to a sports car (there are some people that say it feels like a sports car to them...just hilarious), and even in base form it's as...
  11. Indianapolis to Maine road trip (via Philly and Boston) - 2200 miles

    Yeah I went and bought some and watched some videos/read forum threads on how to apply it, but it didn't eliminate the noise.
  12. Early adopters who gave up on Rivian, RJ hopes you give Rivian another try

    This. I am so jealous of the R2's relative simplicity, better NVH (less rattly suspension), and (expected) better reliability...but we want the three rows/larger storage/range of the R1S with max pack. I know the R1's suspension is its defining feature, but I would jump ship immediately if...
  13. Indianapolis to Maine road trip (via Philly and Boston) - 2200 miles

    Well, yes, that would be ideal. Along with proper rate limiting metadata in headers so clients can adjust requests accordingly.
  14. Indianapolis to Maine road trip (via Philly and Boston) - 2200 miles

    Interesting, I was using both! I have disabled them and we'll see if that helps. If so, obviously that one's on me.
  15. Early adopters who gave up on Rivian, RJ hopes you give Rivian another try

    Hilarious...I just scheduled a service appointment yesterday and the soonest available date was 6 weeks out.
  16. Indianapolis to Maine road trip (via Philly and Boston) - 2200 miles

    Yes. There's other "car of the present" problems that I didn't even list here. HVAC auto mode sometimes goes off the reservation and has a mind of its own -- my wife was varying the temp between 72 and 78 just to get comfortable. Keyless entry, while WORLDS better since the UWB update, still has...
  17. Indianapolis to Maine road trip (via Philly and Boston) - 2200 miles

    Our family of 4 took a road trip from our Indianapolis area home to coastal Maine (by way of Philadelphia and Boston for an American History tour). I have had our 2025 R1S Dual Max for about 7 months, and this is the first major road trip we've taken it on (I've had a Tesla for 3.5 years though...
  18. What’s Coming in Rivian’s 2026.15.30 Hotfix

    Count me as one of them. I have no use for this half-baked AI stuff, yet the latest updates have caused cruise control/UHF to be broken randomly on some drives. I got in the car at the airport last night, tired after a long flight, and then couldn't use cruise control for the hour long drive...
