    NACS Adapter reservation emails are now going out!!!!

    The email justs asked if we want to opt-in to receive the adapter at no charge. Doesn't mean it ever has to be used. Im curious what reason would anyone have to opt-out?

    PNW customers: have you tried Les Schwab for tire servicing?

    I took mine to Discount Tires as they seemed most familiar with Rivian. Did the service for no charge.

    Rivian announces Free LTE Connectivity through early 2024

    XM Radio! Finally! I am curious what is actually lost if I choose not to pay for the LTE service? With satellite radio I really don't care if I don't have Spotify, Tune In or the other apps. I can still connect with blue tooth if I really need something different.

    Vandalism at Portland SC

    It's ridiculous for this kind of vandalism to occur but unfortunately not surprising that it happened in downtown Portland (aka Gotham). The once cool safe city is now completely disgusting. I didn't realize how bad it was until I visited Chicago this past summer and was shocked how much...

    Tire shop recommendations for rotations in Bend, OR ?

    Wow! That's a nice service. I haven't needed to deal with mobile service yet (knock on wood) but it is good to know. I am still thinking we need a brick & mortar service center in our area as after driving around to Eugene, PDX and the coast, it seems like there are far more Rivians in...

    Tire shop recommendations for rotations in Bend, OR ?

    I had my 21" road tires rotated at Discount after 7500miles which was a no charge service so no complaints there. I do have a question for "mozartite": I went ahead and purchased 20" A/T from Rivian for winter driving but had to have those installed in Tualatin. Just to make sure I...

    21” tires and snow- winter travel

    No problem. BTW Know any Huskies happy with giving up games against Stanford & UA for Rutgers & Indiana? Don't blame UofO or UW as the writing was on the wall after SC & ucla left the conference for $0.00. Thank you Larry Scott.

    21” tires and snow- winter travel

    I took delivery of my R1T in March with the 21" tires mainly for the range benefit. I made the assumption winter tires were available for this size but as they say "never assume". I need the 3 Peaks rated tires to legally travel over Oregon Mountain passes during storms (and for my peace of...

    48A vs. 40A for home charging??

    I have a 50amp breaker (which was recommended back in 2019 when we were building our house) but keep it at 40A with the Rivian charger. I normally keep the vehicle between 40-70% but no problem getting a full charge to 100% overnight if going on longer trip in the morning. I could pay to...

    EV's more expensive to charge than ICE Counterparts?

    I havent calculated exactly what I have spent to charge as at this point it really doesnt matter. However if I had purchased a Tundra instead at around 25mpg the gas alone would be between $1200 - $1300. I know i havent spent anywhere near that much to charge. Of course gas is more expensive...

    EV's more expensive to charge than ICE Counterparts?

    I saw that article and call BS on it. I have around 7K on my R1T and have maybe spent $200 to charge, not to mention spending $0.00 on oil changes. I usually charge at home but even at the inflated prices of 3rd party stations, I think it is still less than gas.

    Rivian Technician in Central Oregon

    Nobody likes to be told "should have" but it sounds like you should have rejected delivery when the dents were found. But I probably would have done the same as you. There may be some lawyers on this board who can give better answers, but the steering issue and the inconvience to have it...

    Music disappointment

    Right on. Have had my RIT since March. Love the vehicle but the 2 biggest things i miss from my old ( and much less expensive) Ridgeline are a multi function tailgate and XM Radio. I like listening to live sports and also be able to switch back and forth between my favorite channels - which...

    Considering returning the R1S - questions

    Interesting. I had some minor fit & finish issues with my R1T and the Portland service center was extremely helpful. Nice clean waiting room and friendly folks who were willing to answer my questions - no matter how stupid. I didn't need it, but they had arranged for a rental car and/or Uber...

    Anyone else's truck stop kneeling?

    A related question: Does anyone think excessive kneeling may cause unnecessary wear to the suspension? I have a relative with a Land Rover (or some other maintenance nightmare manufacture...) who said he has to send his to the shop at least once a year to have his suspension repaired and parts...

    A Rivian buyer got his dream car after a 3-year wait. Days later, the car was dead and he faced a $2,100 bill.

    Saw a similar story where an R1T was high centered with no rubber making contact and somehow it was a vehicle defect. I always wonder if Ford & GM are behind these stories.

    Conserve Mode: $125 a month tire cost!

    Glad i found this thread. I was about to post asking if there was a downside of conserve mode. Sounds like the consensus is it should be only be used in steady state situations in conjunction with cruise control on open highways or if trying to squeeze a few extra miles to reach a charging...

    Oregon owners: How long did you wait for your plates & registration from the DMV?

    For Oregon owners: How long did you wait for your plates & registraion from the DMV? My guide said to figure 2 months but wasn't sure if that is accurate or not.

    Mt Bachelor

    Appriciate the input. Unless by some miracle snow tires become available for the 21" wheels i will be springing for a set of 20" by next fall - and possibly real snow tires instead of the AT's. Kicking myself for not researching that before i finalized the order.

    Mt Bachelor

    Did you happen to make the trip? I am in the same situation as I just received my R1T but have the 21" wheels and didn't want to risk it when I went up Sunday so took the old reliable Ridgeline with dedicated snow tires instead. It was definitely a little slick coming down so I would be...
