  1. Love my R1S, but frustrated by a "Principle of the Matter" Service Issue (Stuck Charging Cable)

    Actually, the car was already unlocked the whole time I was struggling with it. The reason I call it a 'fix' is because the pin was physically stuck and wouldn't retract through the screen or manual release. I only thought to try the lock/unlock toggle because of a thought I had while charging...
  2. Love my R1S, but frustrated by a "Principle of the Matter" Service Issue (Stuck Charging Cable)

    No, customer service didn’t suggest locking and unlocking at all. Instead, they had me do a full hard start of the vehicle, which didn’t even work. I actually realized the lock/unlock fix myself. I had previously thought about the locking mechanism while charging at school, wondering how to...
  3. Love my R1S, but frustrated by a "Principle of the Matter" Service Issue (Stuck Charging Cable)

    I want to start by saying I absolutely love my R1S. It is hands-down the best vehicle I have ever owned. I find myself talking about it to anyone who will listen—my wife actually jokes that I’m basically a volunteer salesman for Rivian because of how much I talk it up to strangers. That’s why...
  4. Xpel/Stealth PPF installer in OC?

    Try Ceramic My Car on Batavia and Collins. 1043 W Collins Ave, Orange, CA 92867. Chris did my Launch Edition R1S last year. They also did my tint and ceramic coat.
  5. R1S Inflatable Spare - any 3rd party ideas?

    Call your guide or the service. That's what I did. They have them.

  7. CA DV DMV Fees

    So you are 100% disable per VA?
  8. 2002 4Runner --> 2023 R1S. Anyone else coming from a 20+ year-old vehicle?

    Sold my 2000 Lexus RX 300 with 268,000 miles. Got my monies worth.
  9. Going on Vacation -- best practices to prevent battery drain? Leave plugged or unplugged?

    I was gone for 10days. I plugged mine using the 110 volt charger kit. I set my charge time from 0:00 to 4:00 and set the limit to 60%. I think this reduces the constant high load on your charging system with the wall charger.
  10. Retirement Gift... Picked up

    This is the first time I bough an American made vehicle. I believe in RJ and his concept. To the hands on the manufacturing floor. Thank you for doing an great job. When you give it 100% this shows your character, value and integrity. To QC, thank you for doing the definition of quality control...
  11. Retirement Gift... Picked up

    Launch green/forest edge wasn't our original plan either, but it's what we ended up with and the longer we have it, the more I like it. Just like my departed brother Mario said. Blessings in disguise. With all the stress... I end up with the R1S that is awesome and only have 1 issue.
