  1. I bought a $14,000 Rivian R2..........

    This clickbait thread should be closed, and the OP should be warned for posting a clearly debunkable lie. While I support everyone's opinions and suggestions, I believe this forum should be a place where information can be trusted. Posting that you bought a vehicle that isn't available for...
  2. Climate hold stops after vehicle access?

    Don't mean this to be snarky but if you have such sensitive items in the vehicle and you now know the climate resets each time you return to the vehicle, why not accept the situation and adjust to it. Just make it a point of your routine to reset the climate hold, until the feature is updated or...
  3. R2 Lease Available at Launch (Report)

    Leasing the first one for the wife and after the lease if we love it, then we will trade it back along with my R1T for two lidar equips models.
  4. WANTED! Mobile charger (Level 1charger)

    Thanks for the info as you are correct. I already have a Tesla level 2 wall connector hardwired in my garage for my 2026 NACS R1T. What I’m looking for is a level 1 mobile connector charger for a regular outlet for when I’m at work. Since my R1T can with a J1772 to NACS adapter I’m really not...
  5. WANTED! Mobile charger (Level 1charger)

    I’m in need of a Rivian-level one Mobile charger. If anyone has one they no longer use or need, please consider selling it. I’m located in the northeastern part of the United States, specifically in Connecticut. I’m more than willing to cover the shipping costs. Any condition is acceptable as...
  6. What'd you name / nickname your Rivian?

    Everyone, I'd like you to meet T'Challa, the last 2026 R1T built in 2025 (December).
  7. Rivian Autonomy & AI Day! Lidar, Hands-Free Driving, Rivian Assistant & more announced

    A wise man (MKBHD) once said “Spend your hard earned money for what is available today and never for the promise of what is to come tomorrow.” Another wise man (Sean Paul) said “a promise is comfort to a fool.” I went through this before with Tesla. Back in 2017 when they promised FSD...
  8. Rivian Autonomy & AI Day! Lidar, Hands-Free Driving, Rivian Assistant & more announced

    I can’t understand for the life of me why these automakers think the mass consumer market will be willing to Pay subscription prices for autonomy features. I am an early adopter and have switched to EV only since 2015 with the Tesla Model S. Currently a new owner of a 2026 R1T. I could never see...
  9. Apple CarPlay coming to rival Tesla

    While this may be true, it has to affect less than 5% of EV drivers. And even if you were to be driving a Tesla to have the extra Supercharger advantage, you wouldn't be towing anything larger than a lawn mower with the Model X since Cyber Truck clearly is not selling as expected.
  10. Need R1T Purchase Advice, Buy Now in November or Wait for Better deal in December?

    For what it’s worth, I figure I’d add some closure to this thread. I got extremely lucky a couple of days ago. For the past two weeks, I've been watching the new car inventory list every hour and smashing the refresh button, hoping to get a build closer to my ideal R1T build. A few days ago...
  11. NEW PRODUCT! RMaxx Lightweight Aluminum Running Boards by EV Sportline - The best just got better!

    I see that the new model looks good, although I would prefer the R1T cutout in it. Why are these nearly triple the cost of the original ones rather than these being expensive vehicles and you expect people paying over $80K not to complain about $1500? I just can’t see the justification for the...
  12. New Rival: 2026 Jeep Recon EV revealed. $65,000, 250 miles range, 0-60 3.6s

    This is a PSA for all of those that made comments about possibly being interested in this Stellantis creation, DO NOT DO IT! take it from a current Jeep Grand Cherokee 4Xe owner (I have 2) they are the worst mistakes I have ever made in my car buying life time. You'll buy the vehicle and they...
  13. Need R1T Purchase Advice, Buy Now in November or Wait for Better deal in December?

    Thanks to everyone who has weighed in and continues to weigh in. I feel much less anxious after hearing from many of you; it feels like this is now a group effort lol. Just to respond to several comments without calling anyone out, I don’t have a financial limitation in buying the vehicle...
  14. Need R1T Purchase Advice, Buy Now in November or Wait for Better deal in December?

    Newbie here. I just got off the phone with a Rivian sales adviser who did everything in his power to convince me to buy tonight. I have a specific build I would love to buy, but unfortunately, it is not available in stock. It's a 2026 R1T Dual Standard with Black Mountain & Dark Ash, El Cap...
  15. Apple CarPlay coming to rival Tesla

    I agree with Donald Stanfield, Tesla’s strengths were its software, charging network and the fact that they were the only player in EV during the early days. Fast forward to the present day, everyone makes compelling EVs that design and luxury wise blow Teslas out of the water. The Super Charger...
