  1. Have You Gone Fully Electric??

    5+ years fully electric here. I have a 2016 model X with an R1T reserved. Going to keep the Model X and replace it with an R1S in a couple of years, once the extended warranty runs out. We are building a new house with a solar system and dual EV chargers. Once you break the chains to the...

  2. “Production Hell”…I’m a big fan of Tailosive EV’s YT channel

    I thought it was balanced and realistic - it didnt sound like he was bashing Rivian, per se, but how hard bringing an EV to market is and that Rivian will go through some growing pains. Not really news.

  3. Is anyone else concerned due to lack of Guide Contact?!?!

    Here is my contribution to the rant - IMO, Rivian has completely dropped the ball here. I am a marketing professional so I understand keeping info confidential until its time to release it. But with shipments as soon as 60 days away, it is way past time to ramp up the marketing and promotion...

  4. Rivian Driver+ vs Ford BlueCruise vs Tesla AutoPilot: What are expectations at launch for Driver+

    That flashing screen to take over manual control was driving me nuts - and thats just from watching the video. UGGGGGH! IT BURNS!!! MAKE IT STOP!!

  5. F150 Lightning Reservations Reach 120K!

    I also have a reservation for an F-150. I am probably not typical, but for me, it will come down to do I fall in love with the R1T? I have owned 3 F-150s so they are a known quantity. IMO, despite having just announced, Ford is winning the battle of the marketing fluff. The thundering...

  6. Rivian Hires Nick Mulholland To Lead Expanding Comms Team

    Why do get a picture after the onboarding meeting of Nick being let to a plank over a tank of hungry sharks? Welcome to Rivian - meet your community, they want to know a few things!

  7. It's May....

    Call me crazy (I know you will!) but I am kind of glad I am not one of the first couple hundred orders. I will gladly let some of the worst manufacturing bugs get worked out before I take my delivery. If I cant be number 1 off the line, I am happy to be number "several hundred and one". But...

  8. Regen Braking for Beginners.... I have questions

    Duc gave a great summary but I will add some of my experience. I have a 2016 Tesla Model X which is my first (and only, so far) EV. I have not driven any others but from what I have read, driving a Rivian will be pretty similar to a Tesla. - How does the vehicle know when to apply regen...

  9. Chicago Tribune Article With Great Factory Updates and Photos!

    Believe it or not . . . "Fields said the adjacent site will be the future home to warehousing, parts suppliers, a customer center to take delivery of new vehicles and perhaps a Rivian farm-to-factory agricultural operation to feed plant workers. "

  10. How long is "longer range" R1S - any intel?

    Anyone have any intel on the longer range R1S coming in 2022? I know it wont have the "Max Pack" but anyone know how much longer than the "300+" for the LE? Anyone have any info or speculation? I think I read that RJ said they were getting 335-ish from the R1S test beds in real world driving...

  11. Texas Roll Call

    Currently live in Seattle but building a house in Fulshear outside of Houston. Will be moving in early/mid 2022.

  12. 220V vs 240V - need advice on new home build

    You guys had me at "its the same thing - dont worry about it". Thanks!

  13. 220V vs 240V - need advice on new home build

    Hello folks - I am building a new home and I have requested a 60A/240V circuit for my R1S. My builder keeps telling specifying a 60A/220V circuit. From an electrical perspective, I often see 220/240V called out. Should I insist on 240V or is it a distinction without a difference? Thanks!

  14. Trade-ins?

    I have been debating this vs trading in to Rivian. How does the online store offer compare to trade in value?

  15. Rivian Warranty information announced!

    Thats interesting. The last I heard (granted, it was a while ago), that was being discussed from talks RJ gave but I wasnt aware it was official.

  16. Rivian Warranty information announced!

    Riddle me this - exactly WHERE can you get warranty service? Inquiring minds want to know!

  17. EV break in requirements

    I think the break-in period probably applies more to the driver than the car. When I got my Tesla Model X (normal, not Performance) I wasnt ready for the instant torque. It takes some getting used to. If you pull off the lot and say "lets see what this baby can do", get ready for a large...

  18. (re)Charging etiquette

    I have charged my 2016 Tesla Model X as a daily driver to 90% (Tesla recommendation for DD) for more than 5 years. I need to charge every night because my daily drive is 80 miles round trip and I have errands and stuff some days. I have lost about 10 miles max range in that time. The...

  19. Only 85 Days until the start of deliveries

    I love your optimism!!! For myself, I am leaning toward delaying until a larger battery pack is available on the R1S. Also, I need more info on service before I will feel comfortable pulling the trigger.

  20. Questions about range 300 or 400 mile?

    There is no substitute for range - get the biggest battery available is my advice. As to your driving habits, your daily is fine - more than fine even. I have a 2016 Tesla model X with a (rare) 60KW battery and drive 80 miles round trip every day and still have juice for errands at the end...
