  1. Why I’m leaving the Rivian Family After Owning / Leasing 3 R1Ts

    Safe travels @OP. I will always remember you for this line "Changing lanes on a highway with ZERO blind-spot detection — a feature that comes standard on a $30K Nissan — was hands down the most anxiety I’ve EVER experienced behind the wheel." Amen.
  2. R2 12V Battery Location - Photo

    I think the issue clearing codes is mainly for Gen 1s with the dual 12v battery setup so shouldn’t be a problem for R2s. I just replaced my single 12v with Ohmmu and had no issues at all. Cleared the 12v code using the RIDE menu before install. Anyways, I’m sure they’ll make the promised changes...
  3. 12V battery replacement AGAIN after ~1.5 years? Normal?

    Yes. Your original 12v warranty (3 year, 36k) would have expired a few months back which is why you had to pay for the 4th.
  4. Colorado Single 12v Ohmmu BT19 - Sodium Battery

    Ordered 2 but only need 1 so have the extra for sale. Asking $275 + shipping (if applicable). Happy to arrange for local pickup.
  5. 2027 R1T

    The biggest flaw in your logic is thinking the R1T will be your secondary vehicle. As soon as you put a few miles on it, it will quickly become your daily :) Well, maybe not after seeing your lineup. Impressive cars all around!
  6. user must allow "precise location data collection" to use Navigation

    I’m not that important. If someone wants to breach my privacy and follow my location, have at it!
  7. UV/IR Tint or snap shades?

    I have the snap shades but can't say I've tested them with the windows down at 80+. I think your concerns are valid. I like the snap shades in general but they're very overpriced for what they are. Have had issues with the adhesive on the window frame magnets coming loose after awhile. I would...
  8. Front License Plate Mount Options for the Rivian R2

    FYI for CO owners, I have run my R1T without a front plate for 3+ years without issue. That said, I do have the SnapPlate (great product!) and keep it in my frunk. Will only slap it on if I'm street parking in/around Denver because I've heard the meter maids like to ticket for missing front plates.
  9. Small Refrigerator Blew the Inverter

    I've run a larger BougeRV fridge many times without any issue. https://www.bougerv.com/products/12v-23-quart-portable-fridge-black-for-travel
  10. Thoughts on long-term reliability of R1T?

    Air suspension is the big one but there are lots of other costly repairs that can quickly add up as well. Depending on your appetite for a surprise large repair bill, I think the general consensus is to get an extended warranty to make sure you're covered. So plan for $6-10k for every additional...
  11. Cancelling my Pre-order, thoughts inside from test drive

    As an R8 owner myself, I'm struggling to see the draw of the overlay vs. just displaying on the unit itself. The head unit still has to sit there and it's actually much easier to quickly glance at the unit and read the signal/direction than it is to try to find it on that overlay (maybe because...
  12. Cancelling my Pre-order, thoughts inside from test drive

    It's tough livin with a Rivian. I travel a lot for work and can't even begin to describe the sheer joy that overtakes my soul when I plop my ass down in my Mazda CX-60 or similar rental for the week and boot up Carplay. Pure nirvana. Said no one, ever, save for a few online trolls.
  13. 12 Volt Demons Caught Up With The Count

    I'm single, from a battery perspective
  14. 12 Volt Demons Caught Up With The Count

    Mine also came back after resetting in, within 24 hours. I haven't seen it mentioned here yet but saw a thread on Reddit where a Rivian tech had shared with someone that the latest software update changed the parameters for when the 12v warning gets triggered. They're probably trying to avoid...
