  1. Front Driver Side Fender Gap - buying used

    Without touching it myself or seeing a video, it's hard to say. Yes it looks awful. But also yes, some Gen 1s were sent out that awful too.

  2. Winter Range Effects in Midwest

    Range impact is mostly a battery temp game. Leave the car outside unplugged? Battery gets cold. Range gets hit nasty especially with short drives. If you have a plug you won't experience nearly as bad of a drop.

  3. Matte or Satin wrap-original to vehicle?

    It is possible to find a fully XPEL wrapped vehicle in the shop. They appear from time to time. If you go on the Rivian shop you can filter for them via the Stealth Package or Road Trip Package. This is likely what yours was.

  4. Are you a Tesla owner getting the R2 as first Rivian? ⛔️ [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS / NO ELON DISCUSSIONS] ⛔️

    Just here to say hi to a fellow GX470 and S2000 owner.

  5. R2 has no rear locker?

    No Rivian has a locker... lol

  6. Are supercars POINTLESS? Corvette Z06 vs Rivian R1T: DRAG RACE (by Carwow)

    It depends on what you like. The Z06 and almost any sports car, especially slower manual analog type cars, are about the visceral experience. Not everyone's cup of tea though.

  7. Is this underbody damage OK?

    I wonder if someone decided to jack it up by that spot, but without removing the cover I would not purchase this.

  8. "I would never want to be stuck waiting for an EV to charge"

    Agreed, there is definitely room for both. Also depends on how much time and days you have. All that can make EVs a little tough on long and remote trips. Can't be beat for local use though assuming you can charge at home.

  9. 2026 Rivian R2 Specs & Reviews!! 300+ Mile Range, 10-80% Charge in 30 Min, 656 hp / 609 lb-ft, 0-60 mph in 3.6s, dimensions

    At least the disconnect is on the front and not the rear.

  10. Gen 2 HVAC - Success Stories?

    It is possible that some of the refrigerant lines are contacting parts of the body, especially if the sound changes with acceleration and deceleration. Or that the system is low or high on refrigerant and causing the hum and vibration as the pump isn't working optimally. No guarantee this can...

  11. R1S - Underrated Driver's Car (Rivian Driving Dynamics Appreciation Thread)

    Not sure about driver’s car but with the right tires the air suspension and kinetic system really help hide the mass. Also kudos to rivian for allowing you to turn off stability control to a pretty unintrusive level. This is what makes it certainly feel like more of a drivers car compared to...

  12. Stock price prediction upon release of the R2?

    I'm in the same boat. Bought way too much at IPO, been averaging down over the years. I think R2 by itself won't do much, maybe a lil bump for the news. Until Rivian shows a profit, I don't think the stock is moving much. Pains me to say. I've been debating selling it all off here soon...

  13. R1T Dead Last in EV Pickup Sales

    R1T is among the oldest and priciest and smallest.

  14. Article: Rivian CEO Has Never Been More Confident (with R2, R3, R4, R5, and potentially R6 coming)

    Stoked to see the products beyond R3.

  15. Lucid Gravity In Depth Review

    If only they had started with this thing first. Not surprised that it is better on the road than R1.
