If I owned a supercar, I dunno say some fancy limited production Ferrari, Iād make it even rarer as the only one with 200k miles on it. Iād use it as a daily, a grocery getter, a take the dog to the park type of car. What the point of having a vehicle if you are only going to drive it on sunny...
28 cu ft in the rear. Finally a number I can work with. R1S is ab 30. I should be able to fit my bass rig in w/o flipping down the seats. Now, Rivian, you may take my money.
Any hints on the dimensions of the cargo area with the rear seats up? Mostly looking for the measurement from the back of the rear seats to the liftgate. I haul my bass rig to gigs and it would be nice if I didnāt have to fold the rears down.
Additionally, if itās not the supposed authentication issue, Iāll get only one icon listed in my favorites instead of my normal 12 or 13. It would be nice for apps not to be baked in to the os and have the ability to reload app without having to reload the whole os (er car).
Range doesnāt really bother me anymore. I have the gen 2 R1S. I wfh so I could go a week between charging. For the few roadtrips I have done or will do, my back and legs need a break ab every 209 miles or so. So my ~270 mi range doesnāt bother me one bit. I used to think that 30 mi to refuel was...
I was talking to the folks at my Rivian shop by me. Like many I have the Rivian wall charger at home. They said that there may be a retrofit cable coming out to convert to a NACS cable for the home charger. Thatās the option Iāll be going with if it does become available.
I get the ask for Rivian to incorporate some sort of texting app, but honestly, I already have that in my R1S and Siri. I just ask Siri to text a person or group, say what I need to say and itās off. And receiving a message is just as simple as asking Siri to read my messages. It all works thru...
My 2 pennyās on the $45k pricing. When it was announced, the āoh I can get a Rivian for 45kā never need entered my mind. I saw the 45k and thought āok, plus, say 15k in options (drivetrain, color etc) gets me to 60k, damn, that is a good priceā And at about $60k for an EV as capable as this...
The LE price is right where I expected it to be. The are offering a light interior so that works for me too. I just submitted for trade in details. So in āSpring 2026ā Iāll be listing some R1 specific accessories for sale (spare tire/jack kit, all season matts etc)
Wish they would list interior...
Personally I think RJ and team will deliver on their promises of $45k and 300 min of range. Sure, to sell cars, make profit yadda yadda yadda. What will propel Rivian into the future, hopefully a very long future is delivering on what was promised and gaining more mainstream brand recognition...
My only two gripes is the clock location. Itās only good if you are a passenger. lol.
My biggest gripe is the rear view mirror not having articulation on both ends of the post. I wish I could tilt it down at the base. My view always seems to be looking down at the road only 2 Carlinās behind...
I got the alert to update last night so I went ahead and ran it then went to bed. This morning I saw it didnāt update. Went into the vehicle to find this message displayed.
I opened a tt with Rivian (and yes, did the āhardā reboot and still no change.
My question is has anyone seen the same...
Gen2 R1S owner here. The watch app is a nice to have, but being an Apple Watch/iPhone user, Apple carkeys works brilliantly for me. Watch and phone need 2 hands to operate, although I can easily make the 1 hand argument for the phone.
The number of touches would be the same. Unlock phone/Open...
For lunch ā¦er launch control, at what rpm will it launch at? Does it keep it on thru 7k rpm, or maybe 20k? 50k rpms? I only ask bc launch control on an EV is sort of pointless. Like selling ice to Eskimos pointless.
Growing up the concept of launch control was to keep the rpms up and shave a...
Iād like to see the entire rear light bar used for turn signals and brake lights. Iād also like the brake light to indicate intensity of braking. The harder need to stop, the brighter it gets, but Iād like to see that one on all cars.
