I know gen1 early adopters got a good value at purchase. But it appears Rivian will get their 20k+ and more over the life of these vehicles. My plan has also been 10 years of ownership then an r2 or r3 unless someone else makes a compelling vehicle in the next decade. (Watching Hyundais autonomy...

I will admit, I have been cautiously optimistic about my gen1 R1S. I have had 3 service visits in 3 years. Steering wheel replaced for a bad sensor, and HVAC (wet floorboard) replaced twice, they also replaced 12v battery twice. RivianCare pricing will determine what I do out of warranty. Crazy...

Not surprising. New car sales in the US peaked 10 years ago. I still own my 16 year old wrangler but electrification was the only reason i bought a new car. So who knows what cars will look like in 10 years when i am ready to move on from my R1 https://www.cnbc.com/2026/06/28/us-auto-market.html

@NSRoamer thanks for the follow-up. I have put my rubber mats back in and I am dry after a week, I will continue to monitor the moisture. I am glad they know the cause of the problem but it is unfortunate that it is because of over-engineering. I am also glad to know it is ‘normal’ for it to...

@NSRoamer there is a hole near the driver’s door where is generally drains although sometimes it drains near the passenger side. Yes an annual replacement is very concerning but what concerns me more is that it seems to occur in gen 1 & gen 2. Let me know if you get more insight

@NSRoamer thanks. I can stick my pinky in the drain and water comes out. Unfortunately it is looking like I am going to have my third replacement.

I have had mine replaced twice. Last week I noticed condensation under my drivers side mat. I am now using my chilewich mat and there is no moisture however my ac is draining on the passenger side and not drivers side. Welcome to be a first adopter. I keep wanting to upgrade but it appears the...

So here is what is weird..i am not back to the chilewich mats and they appear to stay dry the rubber mats had moisture build-up underneath. also my hvac is draining on the passenger side and not the driver’s side..

Mine has been repaired in houston. I would have thought if any city understood heat and humidity it would have been Houston. Oh well, welcome to early adoption.

Rivian really needs to open up rivianCare or honor recurring issues. Luckily this is their problem until 2028

I am at 18k. I have considered a gen 2 but cannot stomach spending $100k. Also the AC issue does not appear to be isolated to gen1 vehicles

Yes..I really want to keep this thing for 10+ years but the same repair 3x has me a bit concerned

I have had mine replaced twice. My AC drains but I still get moisture under the floor mats. Looks like I am due for a third replacement.

Good..my bladder is good for about 200 miles anyways.

as a gen1 r1 buyer i am hesitant to buy a launch r2. The original r1 was released with language that level 3 autonomy would be available and here we are 3 years later and no autonomy or even text messaging. so @reodds i understand your hesitancy to but a new r2. But the speed of progress in...

I saw the ad at the end of Noah kahan. Glad to see Rivian support NPR

Right angles..welcome to mid century modern

Nothing..other than the fact last week the widget showed 8 hours of sleep when u woke up and now it shows 12 mins to 2 hours. Completely unscientific but I have not seen long sleep since the update

Well..I have had worse 12v performance so maybe this will help out.
