Agreed.

Thanks for the tip on PlugShare and ABRP.

They've been fine with the stopping. For the most part, we've tried to stop when we had something else to do. We wanted to eat at a restaurant near a charger in Pittsburgh, so we had lunch while the car charged. For shorter trips, like the one to Pittsburgh, the key really is to not over...

I've now had my R1S (launch green, 22" black, BM) for exactly one month. In that time, I've driven about 2100 miles, most of which I accumulated on two road trips. The R1S is my first EV, so I wanted to share my thoughts and experience on the state of charging on long(ish) trips. At the risk...

I like that!

Rivian is picking up my R1S on November 28th and taking it to Richmond, VA (from the DC area) to repair the defects. They're also going to fix the steering issue that is the subject of the recall. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Slightly off topic, but related to nav. Does the nav system dynamically re-route to account for changing traffic conditions like Waze, Apple Maps, etc.? It doesn't seem to do so for me. In fact, while the nav system shows heavy traffic areas, it doesn't seem to take that into account when...

Meant raised profile, not profit. I've looked at a number of pictures of R1S deliveries that have been posted. I agree that the front roofline seems to have a raised profile with respect to the trim in the front. The rear, however, is flush in all the pictures.

Yeah, both the raised profit above the roofline in the front and the gap between the roof could be intentional, although the gap on the driver's side seems excessive. The protrusion at the rear gate in clearly a misalignment.

I agree that the height of the edge piece relative to the roofline may be fine in the front, but that same piece clearly protrudes in the back.

Thanks. Good tip - don't sit on the glass roof (or, perhaps, drive a Rivian in a hail storm).

When Volvo redesigned the XC90 in 2016, I bought one of the early vehicles that rolled off the production line. There were no misalignment issues, but when it rained hard outside, it also rained inside my Volvo. That was suboptimal. I'd rather deal with the misalignment issues. It took Volvo...

Well put.

I'm not gonna lie - I had to look up Kim Java. I guess I'll let her give me advice on tail light mods...

That's the piece that's protruding along the roofline. It's essentially the strip of metal that connected the roof to the frame around the doors and windows. That's not sealant on the piece. That's just a reflection of various things in my garage. I took the pictures at night, so there're a...

Agreed. If I get any sense from the response to my ticket that Rivian doesn't want to fix problems, I'm going to cancel. I'm within the seven-day window. I really like the R1S, but I won't tolerate significant defects.

I submitted the ticket.

Thanks. I appreciate the sanity check.

I received my R1S on Monday - DC area. Launch Edition, Launch Green, Black Mountain, 22" dark. I finally checked the vehicle for defects tonight (I was unfortunately pressed for time on Monday) and found some significant misalignments. The hood doesn't fit quite properly, as the pictures...
