I'm curious about other owners' experience with the original jack. I tried using it to raise the car and the ground was uneven and it bent the jack out of shape. Of course it isn't usable anymore. It's doubtful that the ground will always be nice and level when the jack is needed to change a...

I'm not too far from Park City. 130 miles. Is it worth it to make the trip? Is it definitely on the 9th of June? Also, I drove past the Salt Lake SC a week or two ago and I didn't see any R2's.

I have a 2023 R1T. A year or two ago I was in Moab with my sister and brother in law. The right front window was down for some reason. I was driving at normal highway speeds. When I tried closing the right window, it went out of the track and wouldn't go all the way up. I think some other...

I just saw this on Facebook and the photo is showing misalignment of the fender and hood and front. It could be deliberate. They want to show that the car is "different". I assumed it was a publicity photo so it was pretty close to the final product. I also assumed production must be pretty...

You can reserve a Slate for $50. I know it's made up of interchangeable components, but the parts don't fit together very well. The fender doesn't line up with the front. Maybe that doesn't matter. Sorry, I duplicated the photo, but I can't get rid of one of them.

I would be more careful picking a color. Silly me thought limestone (the rock) was gray/tan, not blue. I read limestone and I thought "I would like that color." My house is real limestone rock and I'm positive it isn't blue. I know what limestone looks like.

Like lots of Americans, I drank the anti-EV Kool-Aid that was everywhere. I actually believed that the Ford CEO hated EV's and it was the end of their EV Future. And they talked about the billions of dollars Ford "lost" on EV's. It turns out that the billions were actually pretty normal R&D...

The thing I was looking at was the estimate invoice. The actual invoice started on page 7. The parts and labor are listed there. There was something I'm wondering about. It says "no oil present in the rear drive unit gearbox". I imagine there's supposed to be oil in it. I've never seen any fluid...

I got an invoice for my last Rivian service center visit a week or two ago. Of course, I didn't pay anything so the balance was zero. It didn't even mention parts or labor. There was something called a "harshness package". There was at least one part that wasn't in the invoice, a 200-pound...

I never mentioned that I use the key fob exclusively to lock and unlock the car. It seems like a lot of people use their phone exclusively and not they key fob. Maybe there is a difference in behavior when using the key fob compared with the phone.

I'm going to take a chance and post about something that bothers me a lot. I received a lot of criticism for my last few posts. I don't get it because we're all in the same boat. Anyway, moving on. The proximity locking and unlocking is very annoying. It constantly locks and unlocks over and...

Check for the flashlight. You might miss it, because it's in a small round opening in the drivers side door. It's one of the most handy accessories. When it's in the door it charges automatically. I agree with previous comments about the camp speaker. If you have to pay for it don't bother...

I'm attaching a pdf listing service items. When I said oil changes I was kidding, proving Rivian owners have no sense of humor. I don't remember two threads about the same thing. I'm 73.

Actually "little lady", it's cool to see a woman on this forum. Most members seem to be men. I thought my post might seem harsh, but it's reality. "Most people" would have been horrified by what you went through. It was all avoidable. I guess it's something that newby's always go through and no...

The 27 items doesn't count oil changes and tire rotations.
