  1. R2 Heat Pump? Coming? Standard? Option?

    That's quite the statement. As a clinical researcher, I know it's damn near impossible to prepare for all variables. In fact, it is often best to note and prepare for adverse events rather than attempt to negate them. We live in a complex world, systems never operate in a vacuum like you're...
  2. What’s Coming in 2026.15 Update, Including Rivian Assistant

    Does anyone else want a center position driver speedo option? Just increase the size of the current speedometer/power distribution gauge and move it to the middle.
  3. Would you still buy your Rivian today?

    I've had my R1T for about 2 months and around 2500 miles. I really like my truck, everything about it is great! I even had a really good experience with the Raleigh service center. Would I buy again? Well, I bought mine used, that was really the only way because I refuse to spend the kind of...
  4. Are There Alternatives to Rivian Level2 Charger?

    I also have the Grizzle-e 40amp EVSE at home.
  5. V2 Powered Tonneau Cover ($3300 installed) now listed in Rivian Gear Shop

    I took my 2023 R1T in for service last week (just fixing some things from the previous owner). The tech met with me to go over my tickets and he asked if I verified if my vin could be retrofit with the V2 PTC. I told him the Rivian chat person told me it didn't have the wiring harness. He said...
  6. 2026.07.0 update again (same version, different build)

    Truck was back to 9.2kW when charging today. I'm guessing this must be a Duke Power thing and for some reason my charger was only pulling 220v (40x220=8800W)
  7. 2026.07.0 update again (same version, different build)

    Didn't budge once during the entire session. I even unplugged the truck, reset the charger via the breaker, then restarted charging. I guess I will see what happens when I charge this evening.
  8. 2026.07.0 update again (same version, different build)

    Anyone having displayed charge rate issues after the update? I have a 40amp Grizzl-e charger and my truck typically charges at 9.3kW, after the update the max was 8.8kW. I’m not too concerned because it’s still plenty quick enough for me. Could this just be displaying the energy going into the...
  9. Rivian dropped my truck!

    I'm the opposite from most of you here. I think Rivian should take full responsibility and bend over backwards to make this situation right. OP's truck fell off a lift and is effectively ruined, these trucks already depreciate extremely hard. Rivian should offer a new dual motor large pack...
  10. Service is going downhill a bit.

    Maybe Rivian will allocate a small chunk of R2 production to demo/loaners? Would make sense the cheap mass market vehicle would be the loaner.
  11. Towing + Efficiency: Please post your experience!

    I finally have a long tow with my bay boat to report back on. I have an Egret Moccasin 210, it's a 20'11" bay boat on an all aluminum low profile trailer. Total package should be around 2800lb's. For the South East, the 21' bay boat/flats boat is a very popular foot print. My dog, 5 year...
  12. NEW Wireless Charging Pad confirmed - in my 2026 R1T. Works amazingly better!

    I wonder if we will be able have this installed by Rivian on Gen 1 and earlier Gen 2?
