It's most likely that Rivian increased the size of the audience in the A/B test and the loaner you were in was part of that increase.

Even with Good Samaritan laws on the books, you never know if someone will sue you if you administer medication to another person and they have an adverse reaction. While Advil is generally safe, there are a number of contraindications that would preclude the use of a nsaid. Best practice is...

Not really. The hook and loop patches are only in the corners of the tailgate pieces. If I ever remove the tailgate pieces, I figure some Goo Gone and the cleaning the carpet on tailgate would suffice. I ordered the cargo cover and the tailgate pieces. I believe the "standard" cargo liner...

Coming from my Audi, I was a seasoned AA user. Did I like it? Sure. I used a small set of apps, but knowing that my R1S didn't have AA/CP didn't stop me from making the switch. Compared to the Rivian UI design aesthetic, AA/CP present a dated look. They do NOT echo the design ethos of...

I'd be willing to wager that Rivian has collected usage data that indicates the # of vehicle unlocks & driving sessions initiated by paak, by key fob, key card and wristband. I have to believe that the data is telling them that phones are the overwhelming model that people use to access their...

For the MFA, it appears that Rivian is using the mobile app as the authenticator app, and those that enable MFA will have two options to authorize driving: Acknowledge authentication notification on your phone (which has the Rivian mobile app installed) As a backup option, the driver can also...

I work in e-Commerce. This could be as simple a content management issue, an A/B test gone awry, a design issue, or a functional bug. Sites usually have an out with regards to pricing errors. Regardless, it's poor customer service to throw the customer under the bus. As a show of good faith...

"Key Findings The study measured a 49% reduction in front-to-rear crashes for vehicles equipped with AEB across all vehicle segments and model years. Further, the study measured a statistically significant improvement in the reduction of rear-end crashes, from 46% across model years 2015–2017 to...

I have a Yakima Sky Box 16, initially installed at the middle/rear bar locations on my R1S. It fit, it was quiet and didn't interfere with the rear lift gate. Unfortunately, that position made it a challenge to load/unload gear, so I've moved the cargo bars to the middle/front positions. Now...

In my case, not only was there pre-existing marketing material/announcements on Rivian.com, I received an email informing me as to the result of not subscribing to C+. There's even a link to the Rivian website ( https://rivian.com/support/article/what-is-connect ) that tells me all I need...

I have a full Canvasback liner, including the tailgate liner (2 pieces), which you can purchase separately. Held on with self-adhesive hook and loop strips that are supplied with the tailgate pieces. https://www.canvasback.com/r1s-tailgate-pieces.html

Pretty good back-n-forth here, makes for good reading. IMO you have to dive a little deeper into why traditional auto manufacturers are pivoting away from their BEV strategies. High cost certainly plays a role - there's only so many people that are willing/able to purchase an >$80K SUV...

Two threads here, three Reddit threads

It would look a bit silly if the chargers weren't operational by Sunday the 21st, considering there is an event at the W. Lebanon RAN location... Earth Day EV Expo West Lebanon, NH Apr 21, 2024 https://driveelectricearthmonth.org/event?eventid=4141

Apparently I was *very* lucky with my transfer. Picked up a '23 R1S from a dealership on a Thursday. Used the support/chat feature from the Rivian site and initiated the transfer process with a support rep. I was directed to send an email with copies of my driver's license/bill of...
