    Favorite vehicle you've ever owned

    Love our R1S, but current 991.1 911 4S cabriolet with manual is best car Iā€™ve ever owned. Used to bash Porsche, but now I get it

    Tire Rotation and Balancing -- Discount Tire is Rivian's preferred tire shop (just confirm they have jack pucks)

    My experience at local KC, MO was less stellar getting my snows swapped for OEMs -- I brought them my 4 pucks and printed out Rivian's instructions and handed them to the tech. 'Apologized' to him for giving him instructions but said this car has a unique protocol and the instructions would...

    Solid reason for a cargo matt or liner - already broke a piece of the R1S

    I think itā€™s a pretty weak piece. Ours was noticeably broken the day we picked ours up. Iā€™m giving it another week to see if we notice other things before submitting a ticket with all little issues.

    Is the R1T “engaging” to drive?

    991.1 4S Cab owner here. I love our R1S but it is totally different than the Porsche. The Rivian is crazy fast, quiet, immediate, serene. The Porsche has the smells, sounds, clutch and stick, etc. It is special every time I drive it. Having said that, I find myself yearning for the Rivian more...

    What do you want addressed in the next OTA update?

    1. Carplay (of course) - but at least add Waze :) 2. Make left steering wheel buttons advance through radio presets (not through all available stations)

    For those who got R1S (or R1T) at original approximately $78k would you buy one for new price of approximately $93k?

    Only had the S for a week but Iā€™d say yes. My neighbor has a brand new GLS which is about $95k. Weā€™ve considered one for awhile. We swapped cars for a test ride and I couldnā€™t wait to trade back. The Rivian feels like the future, the Mercedes feels like the past.

    Connecticut How does a second set of snow tires work? Question from a skiing flatlander

    Way cheaper to just buy some snows and have them swapped out fall/spring at your tire shop. They usually charge like $100 each time and will often even store them. We have 22ā€ Michelin x-ice being installed tomorrow for our R1S. I have snows on separate wheels for my 911 and just swap them in my...

    Jack pucks vs removing panels

    I have snow tires that just arrived. I asked two different discount tire employees if they will be to handle the R1S. They claim it uses the same pucks as teslas???

    R1S ONLY: October 2022 Delivery Estimate Updates

    Oct-Dec now bumped to Feb/March. This is old. I read all these posts about people bitching on Rivian communication, ā€˜sOOnā€™ and such and just sit back - Iā€™m in the camp of ā€˜want it, donā€™t need itā€™ so have been patient. But I got to tell you, getting that update makes me want to jump ship (or...

    R1S reservation holders - have you been scheduled for First Mile Drive?

    We are Sept-Dec R1S. Did a first mile in a R1T a couple weeks ago. Wouldnā€™t read anything into it - just go. It was super fun

    Kansas City Service Center Update

    Did my first drive there today. Great time. Despite hearing over and over about how quiet, smooth, quick, tight, etc etc - still was amazed how nice it was. Kind of like first time you drive a 911 after hearing/reading about them for years and go .. ahhh, I get it now. Anyone know the name of...
