    Who has the most miles on their R1 without a service?

    Only "not my fault, not a recall check" service I've needed at 20,000 miles is 12V battery failure.

    With Tesla network available, does the tire conversation change?

    I road tripped 4500 miles last year towing a trailer. Before the trip, I had been planning on getting a second set of “road” tires for road trips stating this spring. After the trip, I sold my extra set of 20” wheels without ever getting road tires on them. No need. Charging infrastructure at...

    Anyone get their Tesla Adapter yet?

    Ford says the same, yet people have had success using the third party adapters on Mach-E and Lightnings. .

    It’s here (Tesla charging), but you can’t charge yet. why bother letting us know?

    People with third-party adapters can use it now. Or people with a Ford-provided adapter who have both a Ford and a Rivian.

    Any updates on when NACS port will be added to the R1T / R1S?

    None of the carmakers have said anything sooner than "2025". A couple have even specified that it will be 2026 model year vehicles, so likely late 2025 for at least those. I wouldn't count on any early 2025 model year vehicles having it.

    Out of Spec Kyle's 4,500 mile Cybertruck review. Gives verdict vs his Rivian R1T

    You can pee for five hours nonstop?

    Towing 2000 lbs with R1T.

    Depends more on the aerodynamics than the weight. Being only 1900 lb, I'm imagining it's a little pop-up of some kind, so should be aerodynamic. At 65 MPH or slower, you should barely see any hit. Heck, at 45 MPH, even my "tall teardrop" barely has any impact on range, even though it's ~4000...

    Does the R2 have a spare tire?

    That's not a divider, that's the front wall of the under-floor storage area. The deeper section is only the rear 1/2 of the cargo area. In front of that there isn't the extra depth. Nowhere near enough room for even an expanding spare.

    So 9/20 haven't driven it off the lot yet?

    R1X model name trademarked by Rivian; may be this prototype spied years ago?

    *Trademark, not patent. Yes, it's at the Patent and Trademark Office - but it's the Patent and Trademark Office. Trademarks are for names, patents are for inventions. R1X would be a trademark. The Camp Kitchen was a patent.

    Does the R2 have a spare tire?

    One of the launch-event videos showed the rear floor lid lifted up - no room for even a compact spare. So no, just a can of fix-a-flat in the R2 and R3.

    My answer (which isn't "Rivian") would get my reply deleted for being "overly political," sorry.

    Tax Incentive for R2?

    No clue. The % of "critical minerals" and the battery that must be made in "not bad countries" goes up every year. While it may meet today's requirements, maybe it won't in 2026. Or the law could get changed. Or society could collapse by then.

    R3 showing instrument cluster with full screen front camera view!

    D-oh! I forgot about that part. I knew about the trail mapping, and am still missing that. But forgot (or never noticed) that feature on the dash.

    Does rear of the R3 comply with DOT regulation?

    One I've seen on a few vehicles (BMW iX) is a second set of lights on the *INSIDE* of the vehicle, behind/under the rear hatch. So when the hatch is open, the "main" lights may be pointing in the air, but there are secondary lights on the rear-facing side of the D pillar, only exposed with the...

    Anyone get their Tesla Adapter yet?

    The only way absolutely everyone will be happy is if every Rivian owner gets the adapter overnighted to them. Tomorrow.

    Rivian UI really confusing

    Is it the color of the "background" next to it? Then it's off. Is it "closer to the opposite shade"? Then it's on.

    [Updated w/ pics] R2 available for viewing in Austin TX @ Yeti Coolers -- today and tomorrow (3/15)

    Better for press photos - if you pay attention, nearly all "photo shoot" cars have fully darkened windows.

    Now Available: 2024.07.02 Software Update: Tesla Supercharger Access Coming Soon, Navigation Improvements, Room Entry And Exit Enhancements & More

    Nope. I have three trailers set up, no tow option when planning at all, much less letting you pick a trailer. And it was removed from the release notes.
