I left Knoxville for Milwaukee this morning and had an opportunity to test out the new hands-free driving. I have a few thoughts on how things are going. First, the hands-free option doesn't work everywhere, unlike the regular driver+. For this trip, I estimate that 80% of the drive was...

I don't think there is a post on how to actuate the launch mode in the Tri Max, and I've seen a few people who didn't know for sure the Tri came with launch mode. Today, I figured out how to turn it on, so I'll be a dear and post about it. First thing is you need to be in sport mode. Not...

I've had my new Storm Blue/Slate Sky Tri Max for a month. I've put a little over a thousand miles on it, and I've had a little time to gather a few thoughts for those wondering if the upgrade to gen 2 tri is worth it or if they should wait for the quad. Performance: I'll start here because...

Every day, we have many people posting threads on various issues. Lately, we've had at least three threads on the same consumer reports article ranking Rivian dead last in reliability. The last one is from someone who isn't even a Rivian owner, who talks about how Rivian needs to do better...

One annoying thing I've found about my new tri-motor is that after sleeping for the night, it will switch to all-terrain mode when I drive it again. Just stay in sport like my old quad did. I meant all purpose mode! Sorry for the incorrect title.

My gen 1 quad has been traded in for a gen 2 tri motor Ascend. I have driven it a bit now, enough to put some thoughts together on the differences and whether or not I feel the upgrade is worth it for existing owners. Interior quality The interior has received some minor changes for the...

I picked up my second Rivian yesterday at the Franklin Service Center, and it was a great experience. Rivian was flexible with me throughout the process. I originally had an appointment scheduled for pickup this coming Saturday. This past week, I took a road trip to WI and decided to see if I...

I have a custom build with a slate sky interior, and I was wondering if anyone has taken delivery of one yet.

This is a bonus review, as I wasn't expecting the EDV to be at the Nashville space today. I talked with Seth, who introduced himself as the head of Rivian's fleet sales department. They brought the EDV because they are going to start fleet sales soon. I was interested because I was a skilled...

I was at the Rivian space in Nashville today, where they have the R2 and the R3X. Walking up to it, my wife remarked that she thought it was cool. Right away, I'm starting on the right foot because she will need a new car by the time that one comes out. I thought the R3X looked cool in...

I was reading on here, and someone said the new dual motor Rivians would switch out of sport mode when the vehicle goes to sleep, or you get out of it, so you have to reselect it. The quads don't do that, and switching out of sport mode is a source of aggravation for me with my wife's BMW. Do...

Occasionally, I get asked in parking lots or, in today's case, a parking structure how I like my truck. Today, I was running late to my dermatologist appointment and had someone ask me about my Rivian. He was driving a Tacoma and said he looked into Rivians but never actually talked to someone...

I'm back after a long break to get some advice. I own a '22 R1T, and it has been great. I have close to 40K on it and have only had occasional minor issues with it, like a broken cup holder and loose trim. However, with my son getting older and having to transport him and our two large dogs...

So, I've mentioned before that we had an i4 M50 on order for my wife. We were able to pick it up yesterday, and I've put a hundred or so miles on it in the last day, driving around and running errands. I don't have the whole thing dialed in yet, but I have enough time behind the wheel to get a...

I went from Knoxville to North Western, WI, and back this past weekend. There were some interesting takeaways from my trip. I want to take this opportunity to give my impressions of the trip and EV charging in general. I'll break it down into sections, as I usually do with my reviews, so feel...

Maybe someone else here can enlighten me. I had a mobile service appointment to get the software swapped from my 21" tires to my 22" tires. I was told that they could send out a mobile tech to update the software and they called me back on the night of my scheduled appointment to let me know...

There's been a lot of discussion lately about different software for different trim levels of truck. People arguing for Rivian to provide special features for certain models, and others arguing for giving all trucks the same truck. I'm going to take this opportunity to explain why Rivian should...
