  1. What surprised you - preferably in a good way?

    Where the driveway meets the road thereā€™s a bit of a drop off. There are two potholes-to-be forming where I exit the driveway. I suppose itā€™s really more the road than the driveway though. When I moved into this house last May the driveway was pristine and the road was quite chewed up...

  2. What surprised you - preferably in a good way?

    The heated steering wheel and ventilated seats were game changers for me. I know other vehicles have had these but not one I was ever in! The power and acceleration are mind blowing for me. I finally tried a launch a few months ago and nearly blacked out! My previous vehicle was a Model 3...

  3. Driver door window wouldn't go up no matter what.

    This also worked for me, thank you. Yesterday going grocery shopping the window rolled itself down when I opened the door without even touching the controls and was stuck that way until I did the above solution this morning. Worked like a charm!

  4. Registration Improvement!

    Took delivery 9/22 and finally got the plates 11/22. Exactly 60 days. Interestingly I had a notice for the 10 day inspection period for NY though I already have an inspection sticker. I guess they supply that notice with all plates. Checked registration on my DMV account online and it matches...

  5. R1S Owners: Check your air compressor hose

    Just an update on my end. Mobile service came out for the recall inspection and I mentioned the compressor nozzle. He popped the panel, reseated it, and popped it back on and all is working. He said heā€™s done that fix on several R1Sā€™s at that point. He mentioned thinking it was some...

  6. New R1S owners, please enlighten us on insurance coverage

    I went with Rivian for insurance as well. $730/6mo here in NY. My original insurer, Allstate, wanted $1075/6mo (and I only ever had one claim with them way back in 2011, and one speeding ticket in my entire driving career of 25 years). As it is they are eating $1200/6mo for my Model 3, which...

  7. R1S all weather mats arrived - installed photos

    I just received mine as well. The second row mat got warped during shipping so I have some weight sitting on the warped piece flattening it out for a while. Iā€™ll install them in a few days, hopefully itā€™ll be flattened out by then. Interestingly I received an email mentioning Rivian cannot...

  8. R1S Owners: Check your air compressor hose

    Like most others here I have the same issue. I mentioned this to my service advisor while scheduling my recall inspection/service, and he said it was the first he heard of it and had me send pics. Itā€™s now scheduled to be addressed by their mobile team. Iā€™ll post an update when they address it...

  9. Does the wrist band key still exist?

    I actually asked about the wristbands when I took delivery on the 22nd. My delivery guy said only LEā€™s get wristbands (I got one as I have a LE). Iā€™m not sure if thatā€™s different from what Rivian initially stated, since theyā€™ve changed how they do things so many times. As for the case, from...

  10. List of things you LOVE about your Rivian!

    Iā€™m still getting used to it, coming from a Model 3 and a 4Runner before that (itā€™s bigger than both), but hereā€™s what I love so far: If I donā€™t like the ride dynamics I can change it, and it really does change by quite a bit. Never had a vehicle that did that. Birds eye view. It rocks when...

  11. Received R1s First Mile Drive invite

    20ā€ AT, standard.

  12. Any R1S pre-orders hear from guides recently?

    While I canā€™t say if it is the same process for everyone, I was texted by the delivery coordinator to schedule delivery. I later noticed an email indicating as much but I had already been in contact with the coordinator by that point and had it scheduled.

  13. Received R1s First Mile Drive invite

    I also got a first mile event invite last night. Even though I got my actual R1S 6 hours earlier :CWL:

  14. Any R1S pre-orders hear from guides recently?

    Like @kanundrum mentioned, the 12V is there. Itā€™s on the top lip of the frunk xx412 I know Iā€™ve seen others in the 600 range, at least in the 8-step. Just a side note, the place Iā€™m getting the PPF installed said theyā€™ve done about 5 R1Ts, and were working on one when I chatted with them...

  15. Any R1S pre-orders hear from guides recently?

    Delivered today. Iā€™ll probably add more pics and info at some point but it was quite similar to other deliveries. I really had no questions since I basically knew everything I wanted to know beforehand from the wealth of information here! Vehicle is awesome, and I canā€™t wait to drive it, but...

  16. Any R1S pre-orders hear from guides recently?

    Circling back to this, they needed more info and finally got the quote, which was disappointing. Went to Vroom for a second opinion and they quoted me $8k more that what Rivian did, so Iā€™m going that route. Next, insurance. Iā€™m slower getting all this done than others here :CWL:

  17. How many getting R1S w/ Underbody Shield ?

    I kept flip flopping on getting the shield. I donā€™t plan on any major off-roading. It wasnā€™t really about the cost for me, but more the weight. From what Iā€™ve seen, though, it adds 140lbs or so, which is only a fraction of its 7800+ heft. At this point itā€™s more of an insurance policy, as...

  18. Any R1S pre-orders hear from guides recently?

    I also received the ā€œBuild Confirmationā€ email yesterday. When I went to confirm I noticed a guide was finally assigned, though neither of us have reached out to each other yet. Iā€™m at step 2 of the 8 step now, waiting on a trade in estimate. Iā€™m trading my Model 3. In an interesting bit...

  19. Rivian Improvements Over Your Current Vehicle?

    Being able to actually go places without consideration of being in pavement will be my largest upgrade over my Model 3, along with being able to haul stuff to let me spend more than an hour or two there! I dearly miss the utility of my old 4Runner but hated going to the gas station two or three...

  20. Paint Care Protection Thread

    This has been an informative thread! Itā€™s been a while since I did research in terms of detailing and protection. I havenā€™t really taken much care of my Model 3 since it came from the factory needing a repaint on 4 panels, which turned me off from doing anything major in the first place. And...
