    Will an R1 ever be as reliable as Ridgeline?

    This is a real question for me. And I would like your thoughts on it. I understand a lot of issues we are seeing is due to R1 being a new vehicle from a new company and as Rivian get feedback from their service centers, things will improve. However, it seems like (I am not sure if this is...

    TFL: R1 drive modes explained by Rivian chief engineer

    If any of you have tried different drive modes, please share your take on the difference. I am still not quite clear about when you use Rally vs drift.

    Out of Spec: Payload and Range in R1T

    Not much new here. If you want the gist of it, aero is still the main factor. 2 mi/KWh loaded to the max on 22s at 73 mile per hour speed. Basically negligible impact due to load.

    Rivian's Body on Frame Architecture overview - on Sandy Munro

    I am glad they overbuilt it. It was interesting to see a lot of welds were manual. They are basically saying ramp up may be an issue.

    R1T Max Towing (by Now You Know)

    This made me wonder how it would do with Regen off (if it can be off). Because if the inverters are having issues or your SOC is at 100% your breaks and trailer breaks should be able to handle Max towing. What would you set your trailer break at with this setup? Edit: watching the video is...

    R1 issues for new owners

    I thought it is good to have one thread dedicated to this so new recipients of R1 can use the experience of trailblazers to check their ride upon delivery. Although I have no doubt Rivian has it's own database, this could also serve as a reference for QC folks in Rivian. The thread is not...

    Oh, What a Deal

    I am a cheap ass always looking for a deal and feel like the Pricegate is a cruel experiment designed by the man to mess with me. I find myself wanting to change my config just because it feels like I am getting a "special" discount. After all, what is the point of being special if you don't...

    Chances of 2023 delivery at promissed price/specs

    I am trying to stay positive but in addition to pandemic and potential WWIII issues, just looking at inflation and raw material prices, I am not sure if Rivian can hold back stock holder with "growth over profit" statements. Nickel is just one item (see bellow). What do you guys think about...

    Silverado RST vs Rivian R1T

    I know pricing and timing is not quite clear but as far as timing goes, for people like me that are in back of the line with Rivian and front of the line with Silverado, it may end up being close enough if Rivian has more delays. As far as pricing goes, GM has to price it competitively so lets...

    Tow charging R1T/R1S

    I have had a few conversations in this regard in the wrong thread so I thought I should start it's own so any discussion stays relevant to the thread topic. Please share any information or experience that is in support of or in conflict with what you see here. I just reached out to Rivian with...

    This tread is meant to serve as a reference and help us understand what is going on inside R1. The photos I am posting is from a video that is more than a year old and not from a production vehicle. I am hoping you will post updated information as you come across them. Hopefully this will serve...

    R1T mountain carving, off-road and on-road [Videos]

    From the poster @bcl_c6 : Seriously, the most capable vehicle I have driven. Took the R1T up Mt. Hamilton today and did some spirited driving on the way up (sport mode), drove through some snow (all purpose mode), and then did a little off-roading (off-road mode). This is truly an all purpose...
