I have had 14 EVs owned since 2/2011 and over 500,000 EV miles driven. Never ever run out of Battery on any trip including multi-state vacations by EV. Nearest Rivian Service center for me is 2 1/2 hours away, but Rivian mobile mechanic service has come to me twice in 2 1/2 years for a small...

Great experience with America's Tire in San Luis Obispo, CA Experienced Rivian installer location and they had the 21" Michelin Defenders in stock. Wonderful upgrade over the stock Pirelli Scorpions.

This is what I do: Just buy a used one off Facebook MarketPlace, Craigslist etc for $100-300 and carry on long trips. Otherwise a plug kit works just fine. My 2 cents 😉

I was told by Rivian Service that brake bleeding requires a Rivian computer reset; plus two technicians. So I had them bleed the system on my R1T.

NOPE. I wouldn't use Firestone. I just had full brake flush @ Rivian Service in Fresno. It required two persons and their Rivian computer software to reset the computer when finished.

ah,ok. Maybe just turnoff auto so locked on Standard height?

What ride height do you drive on? I have found standard height all the time gets even wear 😉

Per Rivian Service Center- Rivian brake fluid flush requires a computer. Just had it done at Rivian service. $325 is worth it. Cheap insurance for not having brakes fad or premature wear from moisture on a multi-caliper ABS system. Never cheap out on maintaining brakes or installing quality...

My ‘22 R1T two 12 volt two batteries were replaced this year(second set). I spoke to service and said I have never had anyone replace a 12 volt battery in hundreds of motorcycles, cars and trucks I have owned since I was 16 yrs old. They chopped the price down from $700 to $518. (driven over 2...

Great 👍😎; thanks

----------------------- Is XCare the best aftermarket warranty that is full coverage for R1T? Currently own a Gen 1 2022 Quad w/43k miles now. Only issue was power tonneau replaced under warranty.
