I've had my truck for two years and four months. I live in a rural EV desert, so in that time I've only seen six or seven Rivian's (not counting RAN charging which I've done 4x), and that was always 50 to 500 miles from home. And only 1 time going opposite directions, and yes we did wave.

I don't do many long trips that require a charger on the way. In fact, only two so far. The first one was easy from Seattle area to Oregon coast. There's a RAN in Aberdeen WA that was perfect. Used it both ways, was free back then. There was an outside plug at the Airbnb, so that was always...

These guys didn't get the memo. I hope your Lab gets used to it. So awesome with Pet Comfort Mode.

Everyone has different criteria on what they need/want in a vehicle. I've owned the R1T for over two years now. I don't do a lot of long trips. Usually two, possibly three a year. So 99.5% of the time I'm charging at home. The only trailer I tow is a flatbed for rafting and it's a fairly...

I think it's pretty clear that we should just by 2 of them at a time, one for a spare. Maybe a discount on the 2nd one? JK!

I’ve had to replace 2 tires, both 21s, in 5500 miles. From this pic, seems like you should replace rather than repair, but ask. Mine was definitely in the replace area. At Discount Tire now. Sorry, it sucks.

Yeah I feel ya. Happened to me at night on a mountain road with no help. I am 69. Just happy to get off the mountain. I'm glad this was posted so others don't have to go through this.

Yes, it happened to me about a month after I got it. I was alone at 10 PM on a mountain road and needed to get home, was very stressed to say the least. I was able to contact CS about some questions that came up, but we didn't cover this. I'd already had the tire out. Live and learn.

Oh yeah I remember those Costco lines! Although after I moved out of the city 5 years ago I was just using local. For you that's a HUGE deal! Congrats.

And the CONVENIENCE of having a fueling station in your garage cannot be overstated!

underbody protection is slightly more comfortable. I couldn't really say where or what could cause damage when you're not off-road, maybe accidentally backing over something that is higher than your current clearance in the dark. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ who knows? I don't do off roading, but I do drive...

seems like pretty insurance to protect the most expensive component in the truck-- the batteries. It it does it's job once, it's worth it.

These dogs love going places in the R1T. From L to R: 68 lbs, 85 lbs, 56 lbs.

When they did the price hike and didn't grandfather pre-orders for like one day, I was still going to buy it. Wasn't happy about it, but I'd over 2 years already. I feel sorry for those that canceled. I hope they were able to correct that mistake if Rivian allowed it.

I believe there are foam inserts you can get to cover the abyss... I had some in my Prius.
