  1. CNBC: A ‘perfect storm’ points to a much smaller U.S. auto market by 2040

    Not surprising. New car sales in the US peaked 10 years ago. I still own my 16 year old wrangler but electrification was the only reason i bought a new car. So who knows what cars will look like in 10 years when i am ready to move on from my R1 https://www.cnbc.com/2026/06/28/us-auto-market.html

  2. Wet spot under driver mat

    @NSRoamer thanks for the follow-up. I have put my rubber mats back in and I am dry after a week, I will continue to monitor the moisture. I am glad they know the cause of the problem but it is unfortunate that it is because of over-engineering. I am also glad to know it is ‘normal’ for it to...

  3. Wet spot under driver mat

    @NSRoamer there is a hole near the driver’s door where is generally drains although sometimes it drains near the passenger side. Yes an annual replacement is very concerning but what concerns me more is that it seems to occur in gen 1 & gen 2. Let me know if you get more insight

  4. Wet spot under driver mat

    @NSRoamer thanks. I can stick my pinky in the drain and water comes out. Unfortunately it is looking like I am going to have my third replacement.

  5. PSA for all Gen 1 owners! Check your carpets for signs of moisture

    I have had mine replaced twice. Last week I noticed condensation under my drivers side mat. I am now using my chilewich mat and there is no moisture however my ac is draining on the passenger side and not drivers side. Welcome to be a first adopter. I keep wanting to upgrade but it appears the...

  7. Wet spot under driver mat

    Mine has been repaired in houston. I would have thought if any city understood heat and humidity it would have been Houston. Oh well, welcome to early adoption.

  8. Wet spot under driver mat

    Rivian really needs to open up rivianCare or honor recurring issues. Luckily this is their problem until 2028

  9. Wet spot under driver mat

    I am at 18k. I have considered a gen 2 but cannot stomach spending $100k. Also the AC issue does not appear to be isolated to gen1 vehicles

  10. Wet spot under driver mat

    Yes..I really want to keep this thing for 10+ years but the same repair 3x has me a bit concerned

  11. Wet spot under driver mat

    I have had mine replaced twice. My AC drains but I still get moisture under the floor mats. Looks like I am due for a third replacement.

  12. R2 Highway Range at 70MPH = ~250 Miles (Modeled)

    Good..my bladder is good for about 200 miles anyways.

  13. R2 LIDAR Availability

    as a gen1 r1 buyer i am hesitant to buy a launch r2. The original r1 was released with language that level 3 autonomy would be available and here we are 3 years later and no autonomy or even text messaging. so @reodds i understand your hesitancy to but a new r2. But the speed of progress in...
