Kinda where we are at, too. We got two more years on the Tesla lease. By then, hopefully these bugs will all be worked out.

I got hit with that exact error weekend before last! I did a hard reboot and it cleared it. The error has not returned. Lovely. Put me in the "I've seen it!" column.

It does have that "floaty" ride like an old Mercury or Lincoln...

Just a question; a while back we had posted a wish list of being able to include our Tesla Supercharger subscription information within the Rivian OS (much like Apple Music). I recall back then, it was being considered and / or under development and the holdup had to do with some...

I get that. We are fortunate to live in an region with a large EV charging infrastructure, and on planning an extended road trip for mid Autumn down the Eastern seaboard, see that our route and extended stops all have sufficient charging infrastructure. Every destination we've taken the R1T to...

It's up to preference. Are you a truck person, SUV person or sedan person? Are you a Ford person or a GM person? Are you a US brand or an Asian brand loyalist? Do you prefer VW or Mercedes over BMW? Do you prefer electric over gas or hybrid? When we were ICE owners, and at the gas...

It's not just you. I am totally blown away by the physical build quality of the vehicle; the fit and finish continue to be superb after nearly 20 months of near-daily driving... But the operating system leaves a lot to be desired. I feel like I have to perform a hard reboot of the truck at...

I have hit a few manufacturing defects that the Canton SC took care of in short order; which I would have expected of a manufacturer of any new (2025) vehicle still under warranty. Structurally... mechanically... build quality my R1T continues to be superb! 20 months, no rattles, no road...

I have an Android and have yet to get any text message notifications. I got everything turned on as shown, yet new texts only come in on my phone. I can SEND hands-free texts via "Hey Rivian" process but not much else.

I have an R1T-Dual motor and it moves when I need it to move. I'm not much of a lead foot, nor into chirping the tires on launch, but when I need to get around some Memme driving 20mph under the speed limit; it's spot on.

In 1999, my division of IBM was sold to AT&T. At that time, I was living in Tampa Bay and commuting almost daily from St. Petersburg to a Tampa office park. As part of the sale, we were given a retention bonus that was quite generous (companies did those kinds of things back then). I had a...

So, RJ, food for thought. For the R2T & R3T, the R1T is big where it needs to be small and small where it needs to be big. How about designing something more... functional? More of an urban pick-up truck. 7' bed that can carry a piece of plywood when the tailgate is down Shorter cab; instead...

Jury is still out... Just not ready for a "launch edition" of anything. We'll see what real-world experience tells us about the Telo once they get through the first 1000 production models and we see what the IHSS crash tests reveal. Our other EV is a Tesla Model Y (Juniper) with almost 13k...

I am seriously considering the Telo as my next vehicle. Just not a "launch edition".

No word on the R2T? I recall a thread about Rivian applying for a trademark for the name...
