  1. Got a ticket in my Rivian...

    To each his won. I don't listen to music, take calls or flip people off whilst driving. Not because I'm a very focused man. It's quite the opposite. My first year in Uni and I had a lovely new car that I wrecked because I was fiddling with the sound system. That was it. I get distracted easily.
  2. Not allowed to speak with management? Say what?!!

    What experience have you had that lead you to this conclusion? How long have you owned a Rivian and what has been your experience? I'm not calling you out. I'm trying to understand your point of view. Here's mine. I'm not a "fan boy" nor am I a dissatified customer. I have had a few issues which...
  3. Warning - Safety Defect Found with Lectron NACS Adapter

    Can someone help explain what the different adapters are? There appears to be three at last count-Rivian, E2Z, and Lectron. I have been told (and read somewhere) that Rivian advises to use only the Rivian adapter and will not be responsible for any damage if other adapters are used. Is that...
  4. Electric Upgrade Offer: get up to $5,000 off R1 purchase when trading in gas-powered vehicle

    The $1k is refundable. I'd call Rivian and clarify if anything changed. My R1S has been one of the best cars I've owned. All the best.
  5. Rivian R1S questions.

    Thought you wanted to go 100mph or something (j/k)? The 22s are best for that. 21s for efficiency and 20s for off roading etc. However, it will depend on your driving habits. I have the 20s for the looks and I don't pay much attention to efficiency. Not a big difference on the price. Get what...
  6. Rivian R1S questions.

    I believe the EQS has dual pane glass. Not sure if others do.
  7. R1S car desk/portable food tray?

    I saw a lady in a MB E class sedan on the highway with one. She had it on auto pilot and was enjoying what looked to be a four course breakfast.
  8. “I’ll be back”

    Night & day difference.
  9. I tried to connect my R1S to my friend's Tesla wall charger, but it's not working

    I'm not a big fan of asking to plug into a friend's charger. If one of my friends were traveling and needed to use my charger, that would be ok; as long as they don't do anything dumb like using the wrong adapter or burning my house down. I only have one friend with a Rivian and the others don't...
  10. Strategic ways not to block two Tesla stations

    Let's just split the difference and put it in the middle.
  11. Tesla recalls all 3,878 Cybertrucks over faulty accelerator pedal

    This gives me an idea for future speeding stop excuses. "It's a faulty accelerator pedal. It's all over the news." Unfortunately, most people don't know what a Rivian is. A nurse stopped me yesterday asking what type of car that was. After I explained it was an American made EV she wanted...
  12. Brand new R1S is DEAD

    OP-sorry to hear about this. I love my Rivian but this is one of the biggest achilles heal for Rivian. Mine is about 6 months old and the "little battery" went dead a couple of months ago. Luckily it was on my driveway and not in the wild. Rivian stepped up with fantastic service and sent remote...
  13. little frustrated with wind noise - appreciate any advice

    Thor speaketh the truth. This is great advice. I'd take it a step further and keep driving to the wrong side of town until the tech capitulates.
  14. RealWheels EV Stainless Steel Running Boards

    An inch would be great. I've been asking around this and other companies. Most of them look like 2"-3" if you look at the fasteners underneath. I could be completely wrong.
  15. $1700 Service Center ONLY Windshield Replacement is UNSUSTAINABLE !

    I remember reading someone had put some sort of protective film on the outside glass. Not sure how well that worked. It's a shame that we even have to consider this though.
  16. OC to Zion & Moab w/ Rooftop Tent on our R1S

    You might want to do another test drive. I did one with 21" and one with 20" and they both felt close to me. It might have been the tyre pressure or something else like the settings. I have a R1S with 20" AT and it rides very smooth. However, all I've driven are sports cars.
  17. Nokian 20" All Season Tires (One HT) - Thoughts?

    This is my first SUV and I got the 20" AT as I was going for the rugged look (j/k). I only have 5k miles on them. I don't do any off roading whatsoever. It's just for looks. So, this thread has me thinking about switching from AT to AS IF they are lighter and give me better milage. Thanks for...
  18. My R1T is going on a 2000 miles trip and need advise on charging

    Have you considered contacting Rivian for an adapter? The worst is they will say no. I'd lend you mine if I had it mate. Safe journey.
  19. Exploring Lisbon in an EV: Charging Station Concerns and Hotel Recommendations

    OP-unless you're very familiar with Lisbon I wouldn't do it. Enjoy the vacation.
  20. Porche can sell you a car with 0-60 in 3.1 and a range of 233 miles for only $163,400K

    Some people do cross shop Porsches and Rivians. I was actually looking at the Tycan but went with the Rivian because of my previous issues with speed. The R1S is my first SUV. I have only had sports cars. I have to admit that I used to drive like I stole the cars. Very "gone in 60 seconds."...
