  1. Don’t buy a Rivian and why?

    Last service was when they proactively called and did a mobile service to replace the 12V battery in my driveway. Before that I had a wind-noise thing fixed late last year. Nothing but good experiences with service. They opened another SC in a neighbor state which took some load off of the...
  2. Don’t buy a Rivian and why?

    I have a tough time taking a post seriously when it is written this poorly. I don't get the communications issues. I have always been called back promptly, and they have reached out proactively to me. My experience with Rivian is the polar opposite of what I think the OP is trying to communicate.
  3. Can we add a different audiobook platform to Rivian?

    Your 10 year old vehicle supports carplay. Congrats. The R2 may not be for you if you need carplay and parity with 2016.
  4. Received The Preventative Replacement Of 12V Battery Call Yesterday

    Yep, they have been doing this a lot. I love it. Mobile tech came out and the whole thing took less than an hour.
  5. Tailgate won't drop

    I had the same problem, and my bed cover was engaged, so I couldn't access the bed. Try pushing in on the tailgate and hitting the release, incase it is hanging up due to too tight a fit. DO NOT hit the entrapment button. It won't help, and you cannot reset it until you drop the tailgate. It...
  6. "I would never want to be stuck waiting for an EV to charge"

    I had an out and back short road trip yesterday. Richmond VA to Durham NC and back. Stopped once on the way back to charge at RAN in Henderson. 16 minutes total stop which was enough time to pee, and get a snack at Starbucks. Charged at 166 kw average, cost me more in Starbucks than for the...
  7. 2027 BMW i3 EV revealed with 440 miles range

    They don't seem too impressed over in the BMW forum... Lots of discussion about "kidneys", whatever that is.
  8. New to forums and Rivian - want to discuss my pre-purchase concerns

    I got about halfway through before I decided you shouldn't buy a Rivian. I doubt that ANY EV Truck will meet what you want. Just stick with am ICE truck and drive well.
  9. R2S Cell/FM Antenna Lacations

    Thats a better plan. Always the first thing to go in a parking garage.
  10. App lost the setting to turn on seat heaters

    It is still there in the app. use it all the time. That view is different than mine.
  11. Issue With the Rivian Charging Network

    I'm not gonna read all that. I take it you had problems getting the charge to start. Reboot the vehicle, try a different stall, verify the CC on file, proceed to your plan B DCFC if all that fails. Adventure on and live well.
  12. What Actually Fails First in Real-World Rivian Ownership

    This feels like a troll post. What is a roadside setup? People have problems with the tire jack? Or is this vendor doing a sales pitch? Pass.
  13. Someone, talk me out of dumping my R1T

    Buy an R2, sell the R1T, get a utility trailer. Done.
  14. Value proposition question - at what distance do you consider your ICE over EV?

    There is no distance that I won't drive my R1T. Nothing else compares, ICE wise. Whenever I am on the road for business, I rent an EV if one is available. I've driven an ICE vehicle exactly once in the last year and it sucked. Granted, I don't have kids and can largely control my own schedule.
  15. Turning off My Wall Charger

    I think the problem with the way you are testing is that the HVAC cycling can skew the findings. You can measure the current with a clamp-on meter, if you can get access to the wires. You said it is a rivian EVSE, so it is hard-wired. Tougher to measure with a multimeter since it has to be...
  16. Rivian charging vs Tesla

    If the carbon footprint matters to you, Rivian claims to have offsets for all of the RAN network. I don't believe Tesla makes the same claim. I will use a RAN if one is available, even if they cost more. Less crowded, supports a company I believe in, they always work, etc.
  17. Panel fit vs accident

    I had a 22 R1T and the gaps were fine, although I know many people on reddit reported them.
  18. R2 Website Updated. Pricing, Options Coming March 12

    When will the test drives start? I am an early reservation holder and a Rivian owner, but I'm not going to order one until I can test drive one.
  19. Q4 2025 Earnings Report: Rivian expects to deliver 62-67K vehicles (including R2) for 2026

    They are building out a lot of service centers. Still a very local issue, but in general the service center congestion has been eased.
