Definitely a reason to choose not to order. Not a reason to cancel, the order was placing knowing there was no car play. (I'm a carplay fan, wish rivian had it) I have had a Rivian R1T for more than 4 years, the software development pace is pretty good, much better than most...

I know I can physically, but Rivian tells me there is risk of software errors and Rivian is telling me not to replace it myself due to those risks. Sorry for not being more clear. The service center guy mentioned some have done it, but have lost some of the communication between the...

I got the warning last week, my LE R1T is 4 years old, but the battery was replaced early by mobile service, so my battery was same age as OP. I got an appointment in the app, for this week, and they called me to move it up a day, so took less than a week to get replaced after getting the...

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.

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...

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...

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.

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...

Outstanding news. You made my day!

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

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...

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...

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...

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...

The one nearest me has a 400kw (or dual 200Kw) charger, along with a couple with the dual 180kw output connections..
