    1st charge

    We had an electrician install a 14-50 outlet. It has worked well for our MYP and R1S. We pay .24 for electricity during 9 pm to 4pm. Must be nice to pay .12.

    Rivian R1S questions.

    Hi Brad. I just saw a 2024 quad R1S with 200 miles sold on CarsandBids for about 78k. That is crazy. Check it out. I have a R1S quad. Rivian gave me a Mercedes EQS SUV as a loaner. I didn't like it and it was ugly. Tesla will give you better e mileage. Tesla is also smother. My wife...

    R1S delivery, factory flaw in door

    I have a Rivian and a Tesla. The Tesla came in with a significant quarter size paint problem. We rejected it and got a perfect one. We found a scratch on the black trim around the roof of the Rivian which they were able to fix. I would not take delivery of Rivian with a dent. I would wait...

    First 40 miles of R1S ownership compared to BMW IX50 and Tesla Model Y Performance

    We had a paint blemish on our MYP. We rejected it and got another one. Glad we did.

    Questions after test drive, current owners please help!

    I have a R1S with 22" tires. I am sensitive to noise and motion. I find the extra acceleration of the S not really usable because it would give me motion sickness as could the rocking of the S on city streets. Now I am able to accelerated and deaccelerate very smoothly. You haven't indicated...

    Conflicted on Purchasing R1S

    You should test drive it first. They are very high off the ground so that there is a lot of movement which can add to motion sickness. They are not very smooth in town. I found the R1S very nice on the road. The acceleration can also cause motion sickness if you are prone to that. It is...

    UAW is coming after Rivian

    The union bankrupted GM. The taxpayers, stockholders and bondholders paid for the overpayment of GM's union and non-union employees. I was a bondholder. It is what it is.

    Rivian R1S (Glacier White) in Stealth Matte wrap, ceramic coating & ceramic tint, chrome delete, de-lettered

    I am a white car guy. I initially ordered a white R1S but my daughter and wife talked me into changing to El Cap. Then she got tired of waiting for the R1S and I had to get her a grey YP. The El Cap is Ok. So were you able to take out 2 of the motors to match the emblem? Ha, Ha, nice car. I...

    R1S 'Rear' Sun Shade - launched

    The price is the same. You could have had had the front sun shade up during the summer. I have the front shade. It is probably working fine at the at the Rivian service center. I don't remember what my R1S looks like.

    How easy is it to sell a R1S…? 🤔

    I get motion sickness. I have to keep my foot off the pedal, but one of the ideas for getting the truck is it is a monster. I got the C8, I took the racing class. My R1S is in the shop and I can't wait till I get it back.

    How easy is it to sell a R1S…? 🤔

    I paid cash. I could have earned 4.5 percent on the cash but I would have to pay taxes on the interest. I sold my explorer which I paid close to no insurance on. I may not be able to handle the ride of the R1S. Decisions. Buy the truck, take the adventure don't worry about a few thousand...

    Parking your Rivian outside

    I have been parking my R1S inside but the service center has been parking it outside. They won't return my calls so I stopped in person. They still wouldn't give my any information. The thrill is gone.

    How much longer can Rivian wasting money on car rental?

    I was told that there was a 2 to 3 week delay into getting a slot for body work, so I offered to bring it back when they could work on it. They said that if I did that I would be put at the back of the line. I don't like the EQE loaner but it is what it is. I no long remember when the R1S...
