  1. Right Rear Wheel Suddenly Shifted Rearward – Rivian Diagnosed Impact Damage, No Known Impact

    this is not common. first thing to do is determine what came loose that resulted in the shaking tire. from your description, first thing I would suspect is loose lug nuts.
  2. Adjusting R2 front A/C vents

    Yep, this was something I had suggested over 4 years ago and have been enjoying in my R1S for a while. Now, if they would just make the presets selectable via the new Rivian Assistant....
  3. No real AM or FM radio in the R2

    hey, if that works for you, great! but in my 54 years, ads and talk radio aside, I have never found a radio station that plays the breadth of music I enjoy - music spanning 60+ years and numerous genres. last time I checked, which has admittedly been decades, radio stations tend to be very...
  4. No real AM or FM radio in the R2

    I haven't listened to FM radio in over 20 years. Why? It's overrun with commercials and talk radio. Storm/fire/earthquake emergency? Carry an emergency radio, then you can listen to it outside the car too. Out of cell range, stream music over Bluetooth. If you like talk radio, you're beyond help. 😂
  5. Canada about to leapfrog the U.S. in charging

    There are no EVs in the US currently capable of charging at that rate. This is happening in Canada because they will be importing Chinese EVs that can.
  6. R2 Roof Sun Shade

    Can't speak to the R2 but I'm on my 4th Texas summer with my R1S and no heat (or glare) issues from the roof which is heavily tinted from the factory. I do have XPEL ceramic tint on windows all around, including the windshield, but haven't had any need to tint the roof even in 100+ temps.
  7. Grabber HTS60 vs. all. Why not more popular?

    also don't overlook the impact of tread depth. per Michelin: so folks need to be careful comparing the efficiency of worn tires with that of new tires.
  8. Clicking while at extremes of turning?

    I'd start by inspecting the CV boots.
  9. Donut Lab’s ‘miracle’ solid-state battery confirms 0-80% charge in 4.5 min — but there’s a catch

    apparently it's just a regular lithium ion battery, not solid state: https://electrek.co/2026/06/08/donut-lab-solid-state-battery-exposed-lithium-ion-fraud/
  10. Future of R1S?

    Sometimes I wonder if Elon is truly committed to manufacturing cars at all.
  11. Future of R1S?

    R1 Dual Standard is officially going away (my guess is to reduce overlap with R2). Perhaps there was some miscommunication/misunderstanding around that. R1 going away completely would be a massive stock price impacting change for Rivian, something that a publicly traded company would need to...
  12. Future of R1S?

    🍿
  13. Rivian Voice Assist and Apple Music still glitchy

    always keep in mind that a strong cell signal does not guarantee available bandwidth. network congestion in the local cell can still make life miserable (think of a freeway where the speed limit is 65 but traffic is only moving at 15 and occasionally comes to a complete stop during rush hour)...
  14. Driving like a boat - air suspension at fault?

    what were your suspension settings at the time (mode, height, ride feel)? the higher and softer the settings, the more it will do that.
  15. Service Center Kinda Sucks?

    1.5 hrs is just a hop across town around here so... pretty much all of them in any major metro area.
  16. Service Center Kinda Sucks?

    Thanks! Yes that's precisely what I was doing to encourage the OP to consider things from a different point of view. Things such as the trivial, proactive service not being the actual problem here (actual problem being the botched service and Rivian's handling). Things such as planning ahead for...
  17. How to get the Rivian app?

    What phone do you have? If you have a really old and unsupported phone/OS, the app won't appear in the store for that device.
  18. Service Center Kinda Sucks?

    You say that but If the 12V died and left you and the family stranded on the side of the road somewhere, you'd for sure be on here complaining even louder. Let this be a lesson to never assume. Besides, Rivian's policy on providing alternate transportation is not a secret. And if you were...
  19. Service Center Kinda Sucks?

    you would have been far more upset if the 12V died without warning. and why would you ever drive to a service appointment with all your stuff still in the vehicle? there is never any guarantee of how long it might take to isolate a problem, obtain parts, and complete the repair - that goes for...
