Aren’t the battery and drivetrain components covered by the warranty out to 150000 miles? My biggest concern with the R1 has always been that suspension. I’ve never liked air suspensions because the components are expensive. It’s one reason I’m going to buy an R2, or preferably an R3X, when my...

I’m curious how folks are burning through brakes so much. I drive through the Rocky Mountains and I almost never touch my brake pedal. I’ve never had to replace a pad on any of my three Rivians.

You’re thinking of the GM EV1.

I finally saw one up here in Erie. Even better, it was a quad motor. It’s a sweet lookin’ color IMO.

Why not drop by the Service Center in Gaithersburg? Their is a decent chance they’ll have one on hand.

The biggest issue I have with my Gen2 is locking and unlocking at home. I have my R1S set so it won’t use proximity to unlock when I’m at home. If I have it on, the car will unlock every time I go to the pantry (right next to the garage) then it will lock a few seconds later. The problem...

I’m also waiting for earns report before buying more shares. I’m glad I waited.

Might be time to buy RIVN stock. I’m very happy to see the positive report.

I’ve got a couple of these running around my neck of the woods. The owner of one is on this board. I’ve even seen a Canyon Yellow R1S running around here.

This is the first question that needs to be answered. This is basically a spacer lift it if doesn’t reposition or replace the upper and lower control arms. It’ll put stress on the half shafts and other components. Even on something as basic as a Wrangler, you need to do a lift right or it’ll...

Those lease rates are a disappointment but I’m not surprised when considering the resale value EVs have seen. IMO, give it a year. If R2 demand is as high as I think it will be, resale values will be better than decent and leasing payments will drop significantly.

Sooooo, let’s try that again said Stellantis… Now starting a $67000 and only 222 miles of range.. This is going to be the Dodge Charger debacle all over again. https://electrek.co/2026/06/19/jeeps-off-road-ev-on-sale-for-67000-range-comes-up-short/?extended-comments=1

It’s interesting. I put in my reservation within the first couple minutes or so as well. I’ve owned three Rivians, live close to the Louisville, CO service center but still haven’t gotten an invite. I wonder if the fact that I leased an R1S last year, plays into the equation. Do they think that...

My Grandpa used to always say that if you try to sell your product by tearing down your competition, then you’re product isn’t very good. RJ knows his product is very,, VERY good. Also, I think RJ appreciates what Tesla has built. He calls the Tesla Model 3 and Y a monopoly but points out that...

Yea, that’s the old Eddie Bauer store. There is another one opening in Boulder at the 29th St Mall.
