  1. So, you're thinking about buying an electric truck (R1T)? A new owner's perspective.

    That's a bit like comparing a Toyota Tacoma (23mpg) with a Kia Seltos (34mpg), a Hyundai Tucson (33mpg), a Nissan Kicks (35mpg), and a Ford Escape (30mpg) It's just a little odd...you could have just as easily said the R1T's efficiency is significantly better than a F-150 Lightning, Sierra EV...
  2. What do you use your R1T bed for? (Picture Edition)

    Did anyone else buy a EV Sportline Bed Extender/Snowboard rack? I was previously using an INNO snowboard rack on my crossbars over the bed. While it worked, I didn't love how dirty the boards got or mainly the lack of visibility while they were back there. I finally decided to just throw...
  3. Conversation with my neighbor... Are Rivian's really for rich people?

    Perception vs reality. A F series truck can easily be over $100,000, but it won’t carry the stigma that a used Ferrari 360 will. The stigma around a Rivian in my area is that it’s for wealthy people. It’s seen as an EV Land Rover…which may cause some of the luxury concerns of new owners, where...
  4. “Not One Single Percentage Point” of Degradation" - F150 Lightning charged to 100% every night

    I'm not sure if the Mach-E was the same as the lightning, but I found the Ford BMS to be the most unreliable out of any other EV I've owned. The BMS would start being inaccurate after just a single DCFC session. By 2 consecutive sessions (ie, no rest - 500+mi of straight driving) it would be...
  5. “Not One Single Percentage Point” of Degradation" - F150 Lightning charged to 100% every night

    FWIW, my 2022 was charged to 100% quite a bit (at least twice a week) always on L2 AC. It also saw 4-6 DCFC cycles a week from about 5% to about 80%. It has been run dead, ran out of charge less than 10 feet from a charger. It saw tow cycles, it saw freezing temps in the northeast with a plow...
  6. Considering getting back into an R1T - seeking opinions on pre-owned '22-'24 vs. new purchase of a '25 or '26

    I literally just did this, after reading and test driving extensively, I went back to a 22. - Was finding used dual max around $70k, Tris around $95k, quads weren’t available. - I got mine with less than 20,000 miles on it for just under $50k. At that rate of depreciation, I could buy a Gen 2...
  7. Got the R1T Cargo Net

    the panel doesn’t bend? That is a mighty strong net! I would've used a hitch bed/load extender, but if it works, it works.
  8. Got the R1T Cargo Net

    For one that stretches, I'm using this one: https://www.amazon.com/ARKSEN-Tangle-Free-Universal-Stretches-Storage/dp/B07J4FSSWM?th=1 I use it in 3x3 hook configuration when the tailgate is up and 3x4 configuration when I'm using the EV1 bed extender.
  9. See a Rivian…Wave to a Rivian

    I blink the eyes on my R1T by hitting the hazard...but then they had to change that for the Gen2. You poor folks can't blink anymore.
  10. 22 R1T used purchase questions

    1) Decide what you want. There were a lot of changes on the 22s. Frunk outlet, Meridian Audio, 12v under dash plug, tailgate trim, powered cover etc. If any of those matter to you, make sure you find the VIN range that has it. 2) Along the same lines. Make sure it has the options you want...
  11. New Jersey FS: 21” Aero Wheels in Gloss Black

    If you’re willing to cover the shipping, yes. Send me a DM with the zip and I can get you a quote.
  12. 2025.46 Update (Release Notes). OTA pushing out now!

    My mistake was holding it down like we do on the left side. Not sure why they would make us learn something else..
  13. 2025.46 Update (Release Notes). OTA pushing out now!

    I feel like a dunce with mine. The speed limit display on the right is much better. Same with the drivers assist blue bar. But how do you move the maps to the middle? Holding the right thumb wheel down doesn’t do anything for me. Does it work for you?
  14. Has anyone gotten the 2025.46 Update yet? Please tell us your location and date you received.

    My car was asleep for a couple of days, no update. Went and moved the car a pretty short distance and got a notification to install about 15 minutes later...probably a coincidence..
  15. 2023 R1s conserve more no power

    I have a Gen1 R1T, I've also had...4? Model Xs. AP1 60D, AP2 75D, AP2.5 90D, and a 2022 Non Plaid. I also have a Kia EV9 GT, so hopefully this will help. In Conserve mode, it is very similar to moving it into "Chill" It remaps the throttle so it's less responsive and limits power output quite...
  16. Efficiency test: mounting ski box over R1T bed vs. on the roof

    Since you're overhanging by that much, try dropping the tailgate down too. It might help you taper the air flow underneath it.
  17. New Purple color teased by Rivian? - "A new sight to behold. Arriving tomorrow."

    The color always looks better in person than it does in picture. The same goes for the E36 M3 in Techno Violet. In pictures it just doesn't excite me, but in person I think it's a gorgeous color for the car.
  18. New Purple color teased by Rivian? - "A new sight to behold. Arriving tomorrow."

    How dare you, the red is gorgeous. I say that as a huge fan of a burnt orange color on everything.
  19. R1S Quad Miami Edition Released - Limited Edition Only 10 Available

    It looks incomplete. How in the world do you accent the front bumper in blue, bottom sides in blue and the rear end is just..normal? Come on Rivian..do better also, needs a Barbie logo on it. That entire design them doesn’t scream Miami, it screams Barbie promo to me.
  20. 12-Month review: I can't recommend the R1S for most people

    The Tesla access is good in a pinch, but it’s really slow. I avoid them if I can, often preferring to stop early and deep charge. At 85% I’m still charging at 135kW, at 90% is when I start seeing the speeds I see at superchargers on it. We’ve taken ours in the South, TN/WV/SC but not along the...
