    PNW Roll Call

    I'm a gray R1T in the Eatonville area (Graham + 20 minutes)... no one notices me... I'm sad.

    Crash test (using Rivian R1T) shows electric vehicles may overpower safety barriers

    Sooo... a couple days PDR and a new headlight, it'll be good to go, right?

    Problems keep piling up. I'm starting to smell a lemon

    I sympathize with the original poster... you buy a new expensive vehicle and you expect it to pretty much just work. Toyota's not always better than this, tho. My last (a Sienna van) was a freaking disaster with more problems than I can practically list. When one of the sliding doors jammed...

    Ghetto method of powering the house with a Rivian

    My house is less than 20 years old, and I've owned it for about 2 of those. I'm still finding surprises in the form of miswirings, ignoring code, things we can't find breakers for, etc. I'd like to emphasize that you should never assume your house is correctly wired. If you don't know how to...

    Rivian recommended maintenance schedule

    I'm leery of this one. It would upset my truck's newly established ecology.

    [Checking my shorts] Darn... no money.

    Is servicing going to be the downfall to Rivian?

    I may be flamed for this, but I have trouble with this reasoning. There are things it's reasonable for a company to take a few years to learn, and there are things that are not. Examples: May take a while: - this part doesn't hold up to use - this wiring is routed in a way that makes it prone...

    Half of Ford's dealers still don't want to sell electric cars and trucks

    How about the trust my local dealer earned when they dropped my Lightning reservation (they weren't 'participating' in the preorders anymore) and then tried multiple times to sell me one at 30% over list? We don't need those parasites.

    🙋🏻‍♂️ What did you do TO your Rivian today? 🧰🔧📐🚿

    I put my R1T spare back in after getting my 5-tire rotation (free at Discount Tire!), and in doing so I put the retention rod in upside down. Had to fight like hell to get it back out using vise grips. Then, couldn't get the bed hatch to relatch. Possibly because of accumulated dirt and small...

    What do you want addressed in the next OTA update?

    My current list: - fix the new bug causing unrequested changes by nav system away from my selected 2D/North Up mode (new problem with .46) - add an odometer in driver display. Google maps tells me to go for 1.7 miles, which is where I care about a real-time, ever-present odometer. Yes, the About...

    2023.46 Map Annoyance

    I noticed the same thing on Saturday, and I hope they fix it soon. Like zeezz said, it drives the wife crazy, but the other presentations drive ME crazy.

    Poll: How many service center visits did your R1 require in the first year of ownership?

    I wonder what selection biases we're seeing? Are forum members more likely to have had issues? Are members who've had issues more likely to take the poll?

    Poll: How many service center visits did your R1 require in the first year of ownership?

    Including mobile visits, I've had the following in the last 10 months: 2 visits for the 12v bad update problem 1 visit for not being able to reach "Highest" suspension setting 1 visit to install spare tire & accouterments (which shouldn't count) 2 visits related to replacing telematics control...

    'Internal rumors' from my mobile service tech (800V, LFP, new quad motor variant & more!)

    If the rumors do turn out to be true, I'm going to have to go through the painful transition to "adult," and admit that 0-60 in 3 seconds is probably adequate 😔

    Cmon Rivian uncork the Quad Motor!

    If we're tweaking the limits, I'd rather get 10% reduction in the 0-60 time, personally. The CT Beast numbers have me thoroughly depressed. 😔 Plus, I personally don't trust the Pirelli ATs at anything over 100 mph.
