  1. Colorado Tax Credits

    Submitting my taxes soon... anyone get the credit on the first try? rejects? Appeal/dispute?
  2. Android app - pls fix PAAK change in latest update

    Looks like latest update was March 16 New behavior is that the phone must be placed in the tray, and it takes like 15 seconds for phone and car to sync. I am hitting the brake multiple times, "no key found", open my phone, open the Rivian app, still nothing, then a few seconds later the key...
  3. Repair report - lost heat/AC compressor failure

    TLDR - got fixed quickly, good service. 2025 R1S Dual Max with ~8,000 miles. Jan 16 - noticed while driving that the A/C wasn't producing heat. On next drive, heat worked fine. Jan 17 - no heat, and got error "Thermal system fault detected". Made a service request in the app, but soonest...
  4. FM Radio "Could Not Connect" error

    Similar issue, and I'll note that when I get in the car and it boots up, the radio works 100% of the time. When I hit the brake pedal, that's when the radio will turn itself off. Sometimes, it won't turn back on and I have to do a soft reset. Very frustrating. 2025 R1S Dual Max
  5. Rivian Lease Buyout Guide: Comprehensive Slide Deck

    Good analysis, and to paraphrase what said above and in the deck - if you've decided that you are going to buy the vehicle, I'm not sure why you wouldn't do the lease and immediate buyout.
  6. TopoMat & Battery Post Relocator for Aftermarket 12v Batteries

    @RivianPL to your earlier comment, I think when the phone is not sticking to the magnets, it is because the magnets are not aligned with the cut-outs on the underside of the tray. I was having the same issue, but if you push down on the mat, you can feel when it is not aligned correctly by...
  7. 2025.22 Update - Official Release Notes (Now With Google Maps Navigation)

    Two positives so far for me: Zoom near a turn is much better. I hated how MapBox zoomed in so close when you got 0.5 miles from a turn that it wasn't helpful to know much about the upcoming turn Re-routing: if I chose to go a different way than MapBox suggested, it would constantly suggest...
  8. Chase Lease Account Headaches

    1) Yes, when you get your lease (after you complete your Tasks and provide your down payment), it will have a fixed residual value 2) Yes, there are a number of threads on here about people who did buyout immediately (and some of the pro/con to doing so). My lease showed up on my Chase account...
  9. Buy a Tesla now with $7500 credit or wait for R2

    I switched from a Model Y to an R1S in June. R2 vs MY is the right comparison, but for R1S: Positives: Much more space, more capable vehicle (leaving pavement), more comfortable ride Interior is more refined Range (I have Max = 410 mi. vs 330 mi in MY LR AWD Negatives: Tesla FSD is much much...
  10. Trade-In Process

    My experience was a little different... My Tesla MY was wrapped. When I did the online trade-in quote, it highlights that the car is painted gray. I said Excellent condition. The quote I got was above Carmax, KBB, etc., and on top of that, there was a $3,000 trade-in bonus. When I was in the...
  11. Caught an accident on camera, now what?

    This happened to me once. Called the local PD front desk, said I had dash cam of an accident on x and y. They took my phone # and the officer in charge of the investigation called me a couple hours later and then provided me an link to upload. He asked me on the phone if one of the cars...
  12. ADAS around Denver / 470 - Yeesh

    I drove 470 from Parker northeast past the airport then west to 36 to Boulder yesterday, and this was my first time trying out ADAS on this route. Very disappointing. I was surprised at how little of the route was mapped for ADAS, and even on some sections where it was, there would be smaller...
  13. If i order a new R1s now, will it be 2026 or 2025? If I'm going to buy out my lease ASAP, does it matter what the MF is?

    Further to this point, I took delivery on June 20th, and on June 26th the lease showed up on my Chase account (I have an existing credit card). You can click through to get a buyout quote - this is a lot easier than I had experienced with prior leases, where they only way to get a buyout quote...
  14. Range impact of cold

    Thanks for the pointers - I ended up getting a Max, so hopefully my range anxiety will go away. Hope to see you out there and around Parker.
