  1. Rivian R1S & R1T Delivery Checklist

    Some downloads are delayed if the digital delivery system flags them. It should be in your inbox now.
  2. $130/yr ($150/yr in a few years) annual federal fee for EV drivers

    Here in Maryland they are killing us with fees upon fees.....seems to be the new way so they can bring in additional revenue while still being able to claim they didn't raise taxes. Meanwhile the result for both the government coffers and our wallets is the same. :rolleyes:
  3. Smelly A/C?

    The odor will return. This is not a Rivian specific problem though some makes and models do have more of a problem than others. The best long-term solution to keep it from returning is to turn off the AC and recirculate for at least five minutes before reaching your destination, but leaving the...
  4. $130/yr ($150/yr in a few years) annual federal fee for EV drivers

    💯this. those who oppose the transition to electric vehicles, complain about things being unfair however, every proposal I have seen come out of that camp is also unfair. Does anyone find it ironic that this proposal news comes at the same time the current administration is talking about...
  5. My R1S Camp Kitchen Custom DIY (Field Testing Complete)

    I like it. Will shoot some better photos this weekend. Still had some sand from the beach camping 😊. I will also say its solid. the handle works well and doesn't flat around.
  6. "I would never want to be stuck waiting for an EV to charge"

    hey at least you have entertainment while you await a free pump right 🤣
  7. "I would never want to be stuck waiting for an EV to charge"

    Costco gas station can be brutal. People get angry quick if you don't have every step of the process down to a system. Also, if someone pulls up and starts filling right when the person in front of them us just finishing up. 🤬
  8. Quad Gen 2 Range / Release Date

    As pictured above Enduro is their single motor DU & Ascent is their dual motor drive unit. The big win over the Bosch units IMO was oil cooling with the in-house motors. The in-house motors have a more refined driving experience IMO. I love the sounds that come from the Bosch units though...
  9. Reinforced Underbody Shield removed & myth dispelled (not integral to pack structure)

    this ⬆️ . That battery pack should be sealed independent of the bolts that secure it to the vehicle. Unless you penetrated the battery pack somehow with a bolt I am not understanding this diagnosis. How can you smoke test a pack ...normally done with it out of the vehicle. I am scratching...
  10. Chinese auto giant Geely to announce entry into US EV market within 2-3 years

    I agree. The big concerns i have are: Data - Keeping it in the US Human rights abuses in the PRC Environmental damage - what happens in the PRC doesn’t only affect the PRC I would consider their vehicles if the above were resolved, but would always prefer to support american auto makers like...
  11. Chinese auto giant Geely to announce entry into US EV market within 2-3 years

    Rivian was right to make autonomy a focus. US automakers have to structure themselves for tomorrow’s market. My opinion is there will be a shift. Right now we drive out if necessity. The shift will be more about driving for pleasure snd riding for necessity. It will be interesting to see...
  12. Chinese auto giant Geely to announce entry into US EV market within 2-3 years

    The Chinese have the advantage of their government policies. The Chinese consumer is different in that they all want Tesla and Rivian type vehicles...as to where our market seems to be slower to adopt of new software first approach. I recently tested FSD 14.2.2 in a 26 Model Y and it blew my...
  13. Wet spot under driver mat

    wow @EV_Eric sorry to hear your going through this. Its understandable that your frustrated. I agree this seems to be hit or miss..thankfully mostly get the miss it would seem. My R1T was a march 2023 build and had no such issue. Wife's R1S a June 2023 build got hit with it. 2024 R1S had...
