If it's 400V charging, then that's very disappointing for a vehicle launching in 2026.

I used to have the AC blowing hot air, and I wasn't able to drive when temperatures were hot. I also had a very poor charging experience. The service center fixed the issue by just flushing out the coolant and adding the proper amount of coolant. I believe an incorrect amount of coolant was the...

Happens to me all the time

I have noticed a difference in audio quality between the car Spotify app and Apple Music through Bluetooth. My guess is that Rivian uses lower quality on Spotify to save on bandwidth. Try the Tidal car app or Apple Music with lossless settings.

Just call them, had the same problem with their site but agent was able to add it to the policy.

835hp and kneel mode!

Same here, I used to listen at a volume setting between 12 and 14. After the update, I'm listening between 18 and 21.

If the charger has two charging cables then I skip it. The newer EA chargers are generally 350Kw Hyperfast with only one charging cable per station.

I have had similar issues with older versions of EA chargers. Every time I charge at Valley Fair Mall in SJC, my R1S either fails to charge or stops charging after 10-15 mins. Twice, I had a Battery System fault error with the turtle mode icon display. After a hard reboot, the error went away...

Agreed, wait time to get an appointment sucks.

Nissan Leaf from SJC Toyota Rav4 from SJC 2023 BMW X5 from South SFO. Enterprise at San Bruno was very friendly they offered me quite a few choices: Ford MachE, Nissan Armada and X5. I went with X5.

I used SS Customs to install my EVSportline running boards. I was really disappointed that they installed them without putting the black plastic panels. You can reach out to them.
