You Might Have a Rivian problem if ...

junkanoo · Apr 13, 2022

With apologies to Jeff Foxworthy … I’ve noticed that people have candidly admitted to doing things in their Rivian zeal that *might* be considered … obsessive. So, this thread is only meant to be a light-hearted satire of the antics we do in our quest for all-things Rivian.

Please add your own.

You *might* have a Rivian problem if …

You stop during sex to check to see if a Rivian Guide was assigned.
You don’t expect your R1S for another year, but you already know the R1T Owner’s Guide better than a nun knows the Bible.
You emailed R.J. Scaringe to say that he’s welcome to call you if he has any questions about the inner workings of the Rivian.

You’re willing to overlook the multi-year wait, lack of apple cp/garage opener/working phone charger pad/wonky keyless entry/greenhouse glass roof/panels & paint/charging curve gymnastics/software bugs, EA charging network, need to explain what a Rivian is to every passer by, short shallow bed, ambiguously humorous comms group, stock losses.

Eagerly watch a 12-part series of 30-minute videos on the vehicle as a test drive is akin to a unicorn. Lurk at the local RSC just to get a weekly peek. Breach airspace laws to get drone videos of Normal parking lot.

You *might* be a Rivian investor if …
The stock market is mentioned and you start crying.

If you've relied on photoshop to see what your configuration looks like in real life because there aren't any MB R1S on 20" AT in existence yet.

You have a morning workflow process to check all Rivian sources and possible leaks of information that comes to about half your work day only to realize you haven't worked and then play catch up the rest of the day.

We all love you for this. Guilty of this myself as a knowledge junkie on other platforms.

If for past three years you've been an unpaid intern/advocate at the temple of Rivian preaching the gospel to all your friends and family, so much so that everytime they see Rivian news or sightings in the wild you get texts and pictures.

…you sit patiently in conversations with friends & family trying to figure out how to work in a new Rivian fact you just learned today.
…your wife and daughter threaten to start charging a quarter every time you bring up a new Rivian fact.
…you close the Rivian account tab, wait 10 seconds, then open your Rivian account just to see if anything changed. (Narrator: it hasn't.)

You get an email from a google crawler asking you how you find Rivian news so quickly?
You just got fired from your job for being distracted too much but what you are really upset about is that someone else beat you to starting a new Rivian thread by a minute.
Your wife cares nothing about cars but told you about an R1T she just saw driving into the parking lot so she can pull out her phone and document you acting like an idiot.

Edit:

It is April 15th, 11:59 PM. You are sitting in front of a dual screen monitor trying to do your taxes (IRS on the left and R1S on the right). The choice is clear.

You got a Rivian tattoo and named your kid RJ.

Your 7 year old taught his first grade class about Rivian electric vehicles during his class' transportation unit. And, got the teacher to pull up photos of the R1T on the projector!

Over breakfast, your 9 year old asked you if you got your guide assigned.

Your 4 year old asked if the Rivian will fit his bike in the frunk? (not sure about this yet)

Your wife may actually allow you get one just to end the torture of unwanted daily updates.

Rescheduling your years-in-the-making Tahitian vacation so you can take a 30 minute First Drive.

You *might* have a Rivian problem if … You constantly wonder if the only Ocean Coast you will ever see is the view out your Wrightsville Beach, NC Condo!
