  1. 2026 Rivian R1S Quad Motor has arrived. - Initial Teaser.

    Wow those straps are holding up a lot of car!
  2. "Your Rivian needs to be inspected"

    Probably proactive 12V replacement, which is a good thing!
  3. Performance Upgrade confirmation?

    Yes and there will be a sport mode on the mode selector screen.
  4. What are the downsides of full time Sport Mode?

    This. For gen1 R1s, the ride is rough even with the recent update. Now it’s much better than before, but it comes no where close even a conventional non air suspension in terms of everyday driving ride comfort. For potholed Los Angeles roads, sport mode is difficult to tolerate even on Low Soft...
  5. R1S not being driven for 14-16 weeks - Tips?

    I’d plug it in and set the charge target to 50%. It will slowly lose charge until it hits 50% and keep it there for the best battery health.
  6. Dual Standard Road Trip Range?

    Gen2 dual standard has a smaller battery than 106kwh which is the gen2 large size. Gen 2 standard is 92kwh.
  7. New G1 Wireless charger

    They also sit on top of the factory pad so there is no disassembly required, hence the use of one of the USB plugs.
  8. WAVE, OR DIE

    Yes I find less and less waving from other Rivian drivers, as the vehicles are now purchased more frequently by non enthusiasts.
  9. Range anxiety before purchasing trimotor R1S?

    150 miles round trip under the worst circumstances where you would get half the normal efficiency (assuming you drive 90mph against a huge headwind), you would still not use up all the range of a max pack. if you need to, you can charge beyond 80% and run it below 20% if you actually need the...
  10. New Rivian- strange noise from the back while driving

    Is it the pedestrian warning noise at low speeds?
  11. Dual Motor All Purpose not smooth now

    Creaking was front halfshafts and they did a service campaign where they adding new ting washers and took everything apart and relubed everything. It was unclear whether they replaced the actual axles. The noise is gone, for now.
  12. Dual Motor All Purpose not smooth now

    Had my vehicle at Costa Mesa this week and reported the rear motor clunk. They did a diagnostic, noted that the rear motor needed calibration, which was performed, and it is smoother now, similar to pre 2024.51. You can still feel it engaging but it no longer has the abrupt shove. This seems...
  13. Dual Motor All Purpose not smooth now

    I have mine in service at Costa Mesa right now and listed the rear clunk as an item. Will let you all know what they say. My main issue to bring it in was the old car creak when starting and stopping, likely half shafts? So I figure, I'll add the clunk issue to the list to see what they say...
  14. 0-60 Dual Performance (Gen 1) - All-purpose vs Sport Mode.

    it was a special case. The acceleration times above a certain speed seemed to be faster for AP than Sport.
  15. Windshield Wiper - Single Wipe

    You need to hold the button down. A single press won’t do anything.
  16. Windshield Wiper - Single Wipe

    The Park button is meant to be the emergency brake in the setting of brake failure. It's meant to do that.
  17. Dual Motor All Purpose not smooth now

    The “fix” is Wassim saying they will soon offer a AWD locked option for dual motors. It doesn’t actually fix the rough rear axle engagement. It just prevents the rear motor from turning off, thereby making it smoother but with the downside of a slight range reduction.
  18. Neutral Shifting - Car Wash or Other

    I got confused reading this post as I didn't even know there was a screen option to shift into neutral. I've always just pushed up to the first "detent" on the shift stalk.
  19. Update 2025.06 on a Dual Motor w/ Performance Package purchased & unlocked.

    The stock PDM (from the factory) has five drive modes - AP, snow, sport, all terrain and soft sand. The recent software update added Rally mode. It just looks like you have three now because they’ve added an off road tab for the other three modes. You basically got rally mode for free with the...
  20. Dual Motor Performance Upgrade/Unlock applies to all modes (including All-Purpose)

    if anything, Rivian stands to be “cancelled” as you know who is actively supporting “Tesler.” So paying for the performance upgrade might help keep Rivian afloat just a little bit longer as it weathers out this storm.
