    Be honest . . . Who bought another R1 because the lease deal is too good to pass on (or wishes they did)

    Iā€™ve never leased a car and only heard and read conflicting arguments about it. When is it a good idea for someone to lease vs buy and trade-in down the road? One of my buddies said he likes to lease because he figures heā€™ll always have a car payment and he likes having a new car every 2-3...

    R3 & R3X hands-on / driving video, photos, impressions (by Jason Camissa)

    Maybe she would look more excited if she was driving the R3X šŸ¤”

    Very glad Rivian isn’t playing stupid games like Tesla here

    Never underestimate the number of fanboys out there ready to buy anything with that sharp T on it! Now when are my R2 and R3X going to be here?!

    Rivian crushed by tree in California storm

    That roof glass is really fragile! šŸ˜… But seriously though.. sucks to see that happen to a rare discontinued color.

    Stranded After Charging - Towed and Repaired

    Canā€™t offer you an answer to your question, but I would like to applaud you for what seems like a good deal of patience and understanding in that situation. These vehicles are crazy complex and they can be finicky at times. Your issue popped up in the middle of the night and a long way from...

    Anyone using Rivian (unofficial) integration with Home Assistant?

    Very cool to see folks accessing info like this! Quick question.. How do I save something on my computer as a PDF?

    Portable winch option

    Old thread butā€¦ It is possible for a 2200lb winch to free a R1T? Absolutely! Is it worth the time and effort? Probably not. Mechanical advantage is a remarkable thing so technically you could even pull one out by hand given enough ropes and pulleys! But like @Sgt Beavis, @R.I.P. and @zefram47...

    Bosch to Enduro?

    I figured some of you members would know the more technical stuff for sure! Thanks!

    Bosch to Enduro?

    Ahh gotcha! Thanks for the info! I was curious because Iā€™ve read about a possible future Enduro Quad and figure they might be similar in size.

    Bosch to Enduro?

    Just thought of a question when reading DM vs QM thread. How much of a size difference is there between the two types of motors? Will the Bosch motors be available in 5 years? If one of our units goes bad, could they replace the Bosch ones with an Enduro? Iā€™m assuming they would have to replace...

    Dual Motor Lag

    Iā€™m wondering if itā€™s a safety thing for the drivetrain. Imagine pulling the trigger on a drill and then inserting the bit into the head of the screw. It would most likely strip it. The software probably engages the drive unit before allowing full power and torque to be applied. Just speculating...

    R1T conquers Moreeb Dune in UAE

    Ha! That was pretty cool! I watched way more of that video than I originally thought when I saw how long it was. Very impressive stuff! Especially those modded dune climbers at the end. Also loved that the second R1T owner gave zero Fā€™s and floored it to get the EV high mark! Gonna spend a bit...

    Suspension is broke… AGAIN

    Iā€™m glad they took care of you again and Iā€™m sorry to hear youā€™ve been having so many issues. I would be frustrated as hell too. But I hope the truck doesnā€™t give you anymore trouble and you hold onto it for a few more years (well atleast 2 more years for that warranty haha). There cant be...

    Please Tesla, Rivian give us the conventional door handle

    We havenā€™t had any issues adapting and using the door handles either. But having the handles stay in all the time and just using the push to pull setup like other vehicles wouldnā€™t be terrible. I turned the proximity locking off while we were at my mother in laws house so it wouldnā€™t keep...

    Playing in the leaves!

    Great question and Iā€™m glad you asked! Went out to grab the SSD to check it out and it looks like my wife accidentally knocked the cable loose a few weeks ago so it wasnā€™t on there haha. Thanks for asking and making that discovery! Also a good question! I think the truck is specifically...

    Playing in the leaves!

    Itā€™s that time of year againā€¦ Unfortunately! Haha they look so much better on the trees! Decided to get some yard work done and rake the leaves into a nice pile before the wife got home.. šŸ¤£

    Would love to see an R2M ('M' for minivan)

    Soccer dad here! Like @Thedude pointed out much earlier, minivans are embarrassingly practical. Easier to get in and out of, decent aero for good fuel mileage, built for safety, tons of useable space when you need it, and very comfortable from my experience. Our Sienna doubled as the grocery...

    Tug of War on Pavement: R1T vs F350 Tremor

    As stated earlier, thank you for testing the limits of the truck! Did Rivian mess with the drive modes since last winter? I remember that R1T owner pulling that semi out from being stuck on the side of the highway. His tires were squealing and smoking a little from all the wheel spin as he...
