New Mexico will be a great test.....well, pretty much Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California (southern mainly).

$50/month?......wow. I did not know they are charging for it, then again, I don't use anything other than cruise control.....I am way old-school to allow a vehicle to drive for me. I know, I know.....I am a boomer and I do boomer stuff and have a boomer attitude.

Congrats and welcome back to the Rivian family. I take it it will be a Gen2?. We have had oour Blue R1T Gen1 since May of 2023 and other than it being in the service center after about 2 months for a "battery charging issue" and a windshield replacement, it has been amazing. We did have the...

We have those tires as well. I like them alot, but the one thing that is different than the stock PIrelli's is they are a tad bit noisy. I asked America's Tire why, thinking I had defective tires or they weren't balanced. The sales guy told me that the Defenders are harder (rubber) than the...

We have the Gen1 R1T. At about 10 months I was driving to work and got the 12v battery issue. I called service at 4am and they answered. We tried the hard reset and a soft reset and didn't fix the issue. Since I commute 145 miles to work and stay locally for a few days, he told me to close...

that right there is funny!

They called me and set up a remote service appointment. If they have to replace the whole slide out and it isn't covered under warranty (2-1/2 years old), I think I will juwst live withthat piece broke. If it is covered under warranty, I will ask if I can pop the ones on the old one as spares.

One that isn't on your list is: A messaging app (andI am not talking about yelling "Hey Alexa" or "Hey Siri". I am talking one that is accessible with a button push and a message count in the display. I do agree with you on the CLOCK being displayed on the dash and not in the teeny tiny upper...

This piece broke (hinge part on the left). Is there a place that you can purchase one? I put a service request in, i don’t feel like driving 45 minutes to the SC for something simple

I might be the outlier here, but I don't care if Carplay come to Rivian. We have it in our Toyota Rav4 Prime and the only thing I use it for is WAZE and messaging.......occasionally the weather. There are only 2 things I would love to see Rivian add to the infortainment system: 1. Native...

When we first got our Gen1 R1T back in May of 2023 I was hoping and praying for CarPlay. We have it in our Toyota Rav4 Prime and I use to it. But, now that I am use to the Rivian display, I dont need it. CarPlay doesn't give ME (in my opinion) anything that the Rivian system doesn't already...

What I always reccomend is go on Plugshare and ABRP and go to potential charging stations and read reviews and take note of the dates and reviews. Full disclousure, the last time we used a public charger was almost 2 years ago on a road trip. What I did was research a few weeks in advanced and...

I have heard that as well. I have read stories and posts and seen YouTube videos of people that traded their Gen1 R1T for a Gen2 R1T and they regretted it. They complain that the audio system sucks, the ride isn't as smooth. Most of them said they did it for the "new technology" in the G2 vs...

I would order the fullsize spare tire and kit (comes with the pucks).

We HAD the XC40 Volvo EV. We picked it up in June 0f 2022. Within 3 weeks it was back at the dealer because the tCAM went bad. THey had it for 4 days. THen, 2 months to the day, it went out again and it stranded me at work. They did fix it, but we put money down on the R1T and 8 months from when...
