Own Gen2 R1S with updated software. Found the updates to be a very mixed bag. Some roads it works well. Other roads (4 lane highways with median) it doesn’t work hands off. Putting the turn signal on results in a very quick lane change which causes me to keep my hands on the wheel...

Your spreadsheet is fantastic. A lot, lot of work. So, here is what I will toss out and see if you can advise. I have a 2025 R1S, Gen2. I did a 2-year lease in July of 2025 and now have 10 more payments left on it. I am upside down approximately $6K from the buyout and lease payoff...

Very minor rear-end, but the QP was slightly creased near the bumper requiring complete rear QP replacement, removing doors and even front QP and rear-painting. Every piece of trim replaced down to rear glass. 4 weeks for parts to arrive. Approximately 7 weeks in the shop to date. They...

I’m the (generally) happy* owner of July 2025 R1S (Gen 2 build)—Dual/Max. I received an offer from Rivian today on a California Dune edition and includes XPEL at no costs. The remaining few are in a warehouse and wrapped. *I say generally happy because, like many, I’ve had my issues but, in...

I drove 192 miles, leaving the house fully charged at 369 miles. It was in the 20’s by the time I got to our mountain house. I had 77 left. Buy my math, that’s easily a 30% drain. I kept the speed limit around 68 to 70. When I stopped once to juice up that evening at a Tesla charger...

I am one that had my Rivian in the SC for just under 4 weeks after delivery of what proved to be the first Gen2 in my market. I wasn’t very thrilled, although I knew that they were working with the software group to figure out what was wrong with the new heat pump and ultimately replaced the...

RVIAN Gen 2, R1S for Sale: I have a 2025 Rivian, Gen 2, R1S Max, Dual Motor with approximately 2,800 miles on it. The vehicle is excellent; I am ordering a Tri-Max. I picked it up approximately 4 months ago. Highway and town use only (no off-roading). 100% garage kept. Key Options: Dual...

Few things— New Gen2 R12, 20AT and Max pack. On a mostly highway trip yesterday, I got around 330 miles. She is very sensitive to high speeds. Going, I pushed to around 75 to 77 (speeds were 65) and I ran close to 2.1 KWh. Coming home, I stayed below 75, cruise control on, and higher...

It would take too long to read everyone’s responses but, one thing for sure, there is a ton of negative, negative stuff on this forum to the point where you almost want to ask—do you mind moving on? I am the proud owner of a Gen2 R1S. Yep, my vehicle spent 3 1/2 weeks at the SC after...

The new auto climate is, in particular for G2, a work around to NVH issues when the fan at low speeds in 'true' Auto created significant NVH. I am partially responsible because after replacint nearly every HVAV component, I discovered in non-auto and fan speed 2 or higher, the noise went...

As I try and tell my kids and others, if you walk out (literally) that’s good. As an attorney, if the other guy’s insurance balks, your insurance company will take care of the car and subrogate their claim going directly after the other insurer. Rivian’s rear quarter panels (and I can’t tell...

Gen2, R1S, Dual max, 20 AT. While my new toy was in the shop for 3+ weeks, I had the pleasure of being given a 2023 R1T Quad Large. The Max does appear to have a noticeable distance in rqnge, although suprisingly, my highest m/Kwh, has occurred after charging 100% which is getting me...

First, sign out. Sign back in to the QR code area but, instead, enter the URL into your phone manually and it takes you to an Amazon page to manually enter the number on the Rivian sceen. I had to do this twice. All connected, I can run functions in my car and my house as all switching and...

This is officially stupid.

Based upon my 3 1/2 weeks in the shop for a Gen2 R1S and feedback from the SC mechanics, I’d say that there was and is just a touch of pressure relating to these updates. I can’t validate this, but, the SC rep told me that only 100 employees tested Gen2s and only for a very limited period of...
