    All Terrain Upgrade - why the loss of 50 mi of range?

    I agree that the reduced range is not caused by the underbody shield. Until last year, there was no All Terrain Package. The R1S with 20ā€ wheels/AT tires without the then optional reinforced underbody shield had the same range. Iā€˜ve added rock sliders by Direct Current Engineering sold by...

    Why I traded my R1T

    Iā€™ve loved the R1S since we got it six months and 10,000 miles ago. My wife still quibbles about lengthening the duration of our road trips with charging stops. Thatā€™s why I was a bit surprised on our drive from Savannah to Connecticut this week when she suggested we should submit a preorder...

    Which R1S Running Boards?

    These are the very robust Direct Current Engineering rock sliders sold by Weistec Engineering. They should outlast the R1S.

    Touring east coast RAN locations

    As others have noted, RAN sites are more plentiful on the route further inland but RANs are still pretty spotty along the heavily traveled I-95. The newest RAN in Delaware just south of the Delaware Memorial Bridge is a welcome addition.

    Touring east coast RAN locations

    On our road trip from Connecticut to Savannah I only wish there were more Rivian Adventure Network charging locations along the I-95 corridor. The three weā€™ve stopped at have been operating perfectly and immediately available. The simple no App swiping or card swiping at these locations is...

    Christmas Eve: Discovered a screw embedded in my tire

    Weā€™re headed out from Connecticut to Savannah in the R1S first thing Tuesday. Today, on Christmas Eve afternoon, I discovered a screw embedded in one of my 20ā€ AT front tires. Understandably, the two closest tire shops were closed today but I was lucky to find a Firestone Tire shop that was...

    How much household income?

    Iā€™m retired. Paid cash. My financial planning software indicated the Rivian purchase would be no factor in our retirement financial security. Wife still says the R1S is an extravagance and a nuisance to charge on road trips. Whatever. I love it. šŸ˜‰

    Court hears Buick dealer bid to kill Rivian service center

    Stopped by the Mountain View Drive service center location when I was in Shelton this morning. Lots of building contractor activity going on at Connecticutā€™s coming first service center.

    anyone have windshield replacement experience?

    Rivian Service recommended I use the Rivian certified body shop to do my windshield replacement to get it done quicker than getting an appointment at the very busy Brooklyn NY Service Center. No deductible glass coverage is required in my state so cost wasnā€™t a factor. Replacement shield took...

    New goodies in Rivian gear shop

    That was me. This high quote for the pair of additional cargo tie downs occurred before the tie downs had been added to the gear store. Turned out that original quote included a labor charge Rivianā€™s service system added. When the tie downs were actually delivered I was only charged the same...

    Court hears Buick dealer bid to kill Rivian service center

    Phil, Iā€™m not a lawyer but I read the arguments and watched the hearings live on uTube before the district court judge in this zoning variance matter. Clearly, the Buick dealer was intent on delaying Rivianā€™s approval to open a service center in the same city, but I recall the judge remarking...

    Gunner G1 Medium in an R1S

    Rivian mobile service delivered my two additional cargo tie-down cars today. I need to correct my post from when I ordered them from Rivian Service. While the original quote was $261 for the two cars, the actual amount I was charged today was $122.70 for the pair. Apparently, the original...

    Court hears Buick dealer bid to kill Rivian service center

    ā€œShelton and Rivian fought the lawsuit and won every ruling. The case has been extensively litigated with numerous motions filed, along with an appeal. The court gave a final ruling denying the plaintiffā€™s appeal on October 18th... ā€¦ Rivian has moved quickly to break ground. Originally, it had...

    How about ANOTHER broken windshield???

    Mine was cracked by a rock hit on the interstate with only 200 miles on the odometer. Honestly, I think that rock hit was large enough it wouldā€™ve been likely to crack the windshield of my prior cars too. Iā€™ve been more cautious since the glass replacement to keep my distance especially when...

    Running boards and rock rails, what are my current choices (R1S)?

    Just had my Direct Current Engineering/Weistec rock sliders installed on my R1S by Automobilia Auto Salon, West Haven Connecticut.

    Court hears Buick dealer bid to kill Rivian service center

    Buick dealerā€™s appeal denied. I have not heard any news about the Auto Repair License application - Rivian must obtain this from the DMV Commissioner - the last outstanding item Iā€™m aware of.
