    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.

    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? :)

    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?

    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?

    I love our 10-day old R1S. I am still very much in that "anxious mode", listening for any and all abnormal-sounding noises, so I may be overthinking that one. I am mostly in all Purpose/Standard Height/Stiff/High Regen and changing suspension mode to soft does not seem to make a difference. I...

    Alexa and driver profiles?

    I read a ton of threads on the topic but could not find the answer: is there a way to enable/disable Alexa's based on a driver profile? ie I don't care about my privacy and would like Alexa "on" with my driver profile (which is the way I have it set up), but my wife does care about her privacy...

    November Financing Rates Thread

    Let me know if there is an existing thread and I will delete this one. My numbers (60mo, 800+ credit score): Rivian: 7.79% PenFed (the best I could find): 6.09% PenFed process is very smooth.

    Mandatory AT Upgrade package to get 20" rims? What happens for existing reservations?

    I need to lock my config and am debating 20" vs. 22" one last time. My current config is 22" but when I went to visualize the truck with 20"AT, I am now only able to select those rims if I add the $3,600 AT package first. Is that something new? Does anyone knows what happens for existing...

    Charging speed vs. Tesla for same hardwired charger

    I was watching this video from Ben Sullins: and am a bit puzzled He has a section re. Rivian's charging speed vs. Tesla and how, all else equal (same hardwired wall charger), the Rivian charges more slowly. Why would one car charge more slowly than the other, all else equal? I am obviously...

    Spotted a pair of R1S in the wild - Glacier White & Red Canyon

    In Woodside, CA, which is a couple of miles away from Rivian's office in Palo Alto. They had non-CA plates (Illinois or Michigan?), so clearly corporate cars, but it's great to see them in the neighborhood while patiently (?) waiting for ours. They were stopped in the middle of the road and...
