Definitely more softness for the bum. I’m numb by the time I get to point B on an 200 mile trip. Increased lumbar comfort would be great too.

Has any else decided to augment their front seats for comfort? If so, what do you suggest I try? Are there third party options that are worth trying? I’ve found the stock seats that came with my R1S to be not so great for any distance on road trips of even 200-300 miles. Thoughts?

So, who is your R1T the queen of?

Very, very kewl. I’ve nicknamed my R1S Vivian as well. I should start looking around in junkyards for wrecked Rivians for an extra “V”.

It’s worth noting that the Cybertruck was Musk’s one design foray and it’s been a massive flop. And yes, his personal behavior makes the value of that company a real head scratcher, but in my humble opinion, it also makes the stock value very risky. I see it as a mile wide and an inch deep. When...

KAHN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s refreshing that RJ doesn’t flood the zone with baseless bull$hit promises of flying cars and extraterrestrial living spaces on his neato spaceship. Just a great vehicle that is plain and simple, light years ahead of its competitors and getting better with each OTA update.

Assuming nobody else has pointed this out, your Rivian is MUCH heavier than your Jaguar Pace, which accounts for the extra brake wear and tear.

Could they split the rear window and have it slide to the side?

Janky CarPlay connection.

USAA on speed dial.

So, I got the 12v battery changed out at SC and after two hours, they told me that this battery just had a defective cell. They replaced it with a new one and restarted the clock on my two year battle warranty.

Our R1S lives in our garage and I charge it to 85% unless we’re doing a road trip. Then and only then, do I charge to 100%. I’ll talk more with the service techs about this tomorrow (Feb25). Not sure how forthcoming they’ll be or can be.

I just got a notification that I need to replace my 12v battery….AGAIN. I’ve only got 30k miles on my R1S and this is the second 12v battery alert. Is this normal? Is this what I can expect, going forward? I love the SUV, but this seems excessively unreliable.
