I used Kapital Electric and was happy with their work. I paid in the $2000s. They and their website claim the install more EV chargers than anyone in Chicagoland. They certainly knew a ton about Rivians and Rivian chargers when they did mine, and that was late 2022….when there weren’t that...

@Craigins I parked on the street, right in front of the customer lounge/lobby door. When I went in, they said that was fine, and then they pulled my car into the garage. I agree with better signage need. It was my first service appointment, and I wasn’t sure what to do at first.

Sharing a recent, positive experience with Rivian Service Center in Chicago. Took my R1S in for first time since I got it (Dec 22) for the 7,500 mile tire rotation & multi-point inspection. Also needed to address a rear lamp recall that I had procrastinated getting fixed. Thought while I was...

I worked directly across the river from Salesforce tower (on N Wacker) for several years until very recently. I drive to work every day and parked in pretty much every parking garage in that area, most frequently in the garage at 180 N Franklin. I hear you on being worried about getting...

Rivian Amazon Delivery Van Marques Brownlee posted this great inside look of the Rivian Amazon Delivery vans we’ve all seen driving around Chicago and the surrounding area. For those that don’t know him, he produces great YouTube videos on EVs and technology in general. This one was shot using...

Congrats!

Tour of new Rivian Spaces Chicago Rivian hosted a sneak peek of the new Spaces location on Rush and Chestnut tonight. Thank you Adam for organizing this early look with Rivian. The grand opening is tomorrow and Saturday, Sep 8th and 9th. They have lots of stuff from the gear shop for sale...

I’ve started seeing more R1S’s around the city. When I got mine in December, I never saw any others. Now I see one almost every day. I’ve only seen forest green, white, grey and blue so far. Either I’m seeing the same ones over and over or those are the most popular colors in Chicago. How...

Photos outside the new Rivian Spaces Chicago location. This is my R1S, launch green, Forest edge interior.

Preview of new Rivian Spaces Chicago location Stopped by the new Rivian Spaces location in Chicago this morning. Here’s a video of the outside and surrounding neighborhood. It looks beautiful….great location. I met a couple of really nice folks that work at Rivian while I was there. Looking...

I’d love to attend. I live in Chicago and own an R1S (launch green). Wouldn’t be cool to line the streets around the new space with Rivians!?!

Michigan has continued to get more. I think they have 3 or so different locations live already. Benton Harbor is the closest working RAN station to Chicago (I think). Ohio is starting to get them now too. The first one went live outside of Cleveland in Strongsville. They're slowly...

Chicago/Midwest Rivian Adventure Network If anyone in the Chicago or Midwest learn about any RIVIAN Adventure Network fast chargers coming soon, let’s keep each other updated here. I know there’s a Twitter channel that does a good job communicating stations coming soon, but I also know...

I ordered these tow hook covers in yellow and received them very quickly. Just put one on this morning. It was super easy. Material seems very sturdy, and the yellow matches Rivian yellow. It really gives a nice color pop. Folks already stare at the front of my R1S and the headlights/light...

Never mind…just found details on their tour on their blog. They’re doing a meet up in Normal, IL on the 19th….details to be posted soon. Hope to be able to go! https://stories.rivian.com/letsgo?utm_medium=social&utm_source=instagram&utm_campaign=lets_go_roadtrip_07132023&utm_content=launch

Rivian is doing some sort of tour from the west coast to the plant in Normal. I think they’re in or near Colorado headed this way now. I would expect they may have a Chicago area meet up when they get here. Anybody know for sure if and when they’ll do a meet up?

Mine’s an R1S launch green w/ green interior. Anyone in Chicago have a recommendation on a good car wash that you trust your Rivian with?

Welcome Chicago Rivian owners and enthusiasts! I’ve been an R1S owner since late December, 2022 and am loving my RIVIAN. I’ve also found that when I meet other RIVIAN owners at charging stations or just out and about, there’s a real since of connection and community. Let’s share some Chicago...
