    Rodent attack...now what?

    So, this is a new one for us. Our R1S is 3 months old, and started throwing an error message about a week ago. The service center was puzzled at first but it turns out that some of the wiring was damaged by rodents. $3,500 and of course not covered by insurance. The worst part is that it could...

    Spotted: Rivian R1T (corporate) Tesla Supercharger Testing in Palo Alto, CA.

    He was tracking progress with a laptop perched on the hood and that looked pretty badass. Maybe they will ship a laptop + adapter bundle.

    Spotted: Rivian R1T (corporate) Tesla Supercharger Testing in Palo Alto, CA.

    Spotted this morning at the Tesla Supercharger on Bryant in Palo Alto, where there is a significant Rivian office. I chatted with the guy for a minute..."yes, it's working as planned and no, I don't have an updated release date to the public". But then again, what else is he supposed to say? :)

    Rivian Layoff 10% Staff and Lowers Production Forecast for 2024

    Not sure I agree with you here: my '16 MS has the PUP (premium upgrade package) that is no longer available and my interior is much nicer than current MS interiors, 8 years later. And it also has a pano roof :)

    How to Improve a Rivian R1S’s Elevation Sound System With Simple EQ Changes (Equipment Measured Tests & Results)

    Best TLDR; ever. The write up is not bad either. In all seriousness, thank you for the very thorough writeup. I can't wait to try it out tonight.

    Latest on Rivian's move to NACS?

    I'm afraid the 2025 version of ICE'ing will be Nissan Leafs taking over 250 kwh supercharger stalls.

    Latest on Rivian's move to NACS?

    I've added a 1-year mental buffer to account for "Elon time". That may prove not conservative enough.

    R1S roof gaps: Am I over thinking it part 2?

    I had flagged the liftgate gaps at pickup and they seemed to think that it could be adjusted. I’m actually more worried about the gaps by the windshield and on the sides now. Would you mind sharing what yours look like?

    R1S roof gaps: Am I over thinking it part 2?

    I have a service appointment in January to address a couple of items. I noticed a gap at the top of the liftgate and have that on my list (pic 5 and 6). Looking at the roof more closely, those additional gaps look suspicious. As the title says...am I over thinking it?

    Close Call in Boston! Rivians Nearly Meet Tunnel

    That's one way to improve the CX.

    Who ran out of juice in the middle of the road at the Dolphins game?

    My wife keeps complaining that Tesla drivers park like jerks so I'll make sure to show her that pic. ps: Tesla + Rivian household here.

    Rattling noise from rear/driver side corner. Overthinking it?

    Paging @CalebSchiff and @Nikhiluor :) Would you mind sharing what in your specific case? (part number etc would be great) I am compiling my service center "punch list". Thanks!

    Cybertruck vs R1T rear size comparison pictures (from encounter at charging station)

    This is an interesting shot. I stumbled upon a CT this morning and from any other angle, it looks, visually at least, *much* bigger than...anything.

    Tow hook license plate: driver or passenger side?

    I totally hear you. I solved that problem by going "commando in the front" with my car but my wife doesn't want to have to deal with "fix it" tickets with her car.

    Tow hook license plate: driver or passenger side?

    First world problem of the day. I've looked at pics online and can't make up my mind. If you have one, what side did you put it on and are there benefits when it comes to one vs. the other?

    Rattling noise from rear/driver side corner. Overthinking it?

    @CalebSchiff That's good to hear (bad pun intended). Do you have any additional details from your invoice (ie part number etc?). Considering the lead time to get an appointment at my service center, the more details, the better to "expedite" things...I hope.

    Rattling noise from rear/driver side corner. Overthinking it?

    @Nikhiluor Thanks for your response. I'm definitely logging it. For clarification, which specific piece(s) of plastic vs. metal are you referring to?
