  1. What Actually Fails First in Real-World Rivian Ownership

    Not sure this counts, but, the cost of minor bodywork repairs is overwhelming. I know it is a problem on all cars, but a lot moreso on Rivians.
  2. Slate Auto - Jeff Bezos' $25k EV Pickup Spotted With Heavy Comanche Vibes

    I don't expect that. This would be a truck for people to charge at home or at a charger at work, etc 95+% of the time, light/medium duty uses. If you could really hit $25k, 250 miles range, support AC charging at 11kw, decent local towing (3 ton max?), I think you would have buyers...
  3. A bunch of used r1 in Montana?

    2 years 11 months old by carfax. Looking at the maint history, I'd guess someone took ownership around 6/1/22. (title was issued a couple months later) 39k might be very slightly high? VIN 3236, about a thousand lower than mine (2 yrs 10 months), I'm at ~ 32K I'm surprised no...
  4. Greenville, SC Service Center Open!

    Keep us posted how it goes, I live just south of CLT in South Carolina. A better option than going back to Atlanta sounds great. Thanks.
  5. Greenville, SC Service Center Open!

    To my reading, the law also doesn't allow manufacturers to sell vehicles in South Carolina. Admittedly I'm no lawyer or approximation thereof, but thinking if they found a way to sell in SC, they could find a way to service also. From 2023 South Carolina Code of LawsTitle 56 - Motor...
  6. Greenville, SC Service Center Open!

    Outstanding news. You made my day!
  7. Existing EV batteries may last up to 40% longer than expected, says Stanford report

    Not Rivian specific, but still nice to see some good news related to EV's Existing EV batteries may last up to 40% longer than expected
  8. The Truth About Reliability

    Consumer Reports and JD Power are meaningful sources of reliability data, from which one can reasonably conclude Rivian reliability is bad. Not unexpected for a new vehicle. Rivian has not denied (pls correct as needed, I could have missed). I expect there are many causes for...
  9. The Truth About Reliability

    I don't have raw data, but assumed it was reflected accurately in reports like these. Many of us have personal experience with long waits to get service, trucks setting waiting for service, an indicator of more service problems than originally planned for. The Consumer Reports survey data...
  10. The Truth About Reliability

    Not so at all. - Rivian design is excellent, though too hard/expensive to repair. Owners do love using and driving the vehicle. -Rivian reliability is just very bad. The raw data says so. That doesn't mean everyone has significant problems, but too high a percentage do. - Reliability is...
  11. The efficiency history gauge is propaganda

    I don't think the number on the trucks screen is too meaningful, possibly helps as a rough, instananeous indicator of how far I can go on single long trip without stops. What also counts is how many kwhrs I'm buying for charging the truck. With level 2 charging in my home, I'm getting...
  12. Anyway to add new charging locations to navigation?

    The one nearest me has a 400kw (or dual 200Kw) charger, along with a couple with the dual 180kw output connections..
  13. Anyway to add new charging locations to navigation?

    I'm not sure asking has any effect. I had emailed my guide back in January asking to have Circle K chargers added to Navigation, noting that they show up in ABRP. The response was not exactly a "no', but the guide said it was not a quick fix and would take time, and couldn't provide an...
  14. Charlotte Service Center Coming?

    Thanks for the update! So many fingers crossed that this happens.....
  15. R1T Alignment Service in Kansas?

    This post has some details that make it sound not all that simple https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/can-i-only-get-an-alignment-at-a-service-center.21916/post-445897 I'd pay $300 in a flat second if there was somewhere close to me (< 50 miles) that could do a good (I'd take mediocre)...
