We have a 2025 Gen 1 R1S Quad. The sound did improve with some software updates about a year ago. I’m constantly reminded about how sub-par this audio system is after I’ve been driving my Model Y for a while. It’s like night and day. Lately I’ve been streaming content from my iPhone via...

this is the best strategy for long road trips as long as the charging stops are right off the highway. Sometimes it seems like a short distance on the maps, but it might be the time of day when there’s a lot of traffic around or difficult to find (like trying to find the one near Milwaukee...

The quality of vehicle you get as a loaner just depends on the quality of the Enterprise that Rivian sends you to; what they have available. When I arrive at the Enterprise I scan the lot and select what I think what would be the best comparable vehicle to the R1S. Unfortunately often times...

I had the same thing happen at 3K miles on our R1S Quad Gen 1. Rear right drive unit disconnect failure. keep it in conserve mode if you can

We won’t buy another R1S Quad, but we will buy another R1S with a similar lease payment. I think many gen 1 Quad drivers who took delivery in early 2025 will downgrade to a Dual Max or Possibly Tri-motor. Not everyone wants a $1,800 monthly lease payment.

It was Deja vu reading out an R1S clutch disconnect failure in Montana. Last year I was in the middle of Montana on a cross country roadtrip when the clutch disconnect failed on the rear right motor. Slightly different mechanism (this was a quad). Did you have the blue fluid leaking out at any time?

Not having to use the scroll wheels on the steering wheel to adjust. Would prefer to press and hold in buttons

yes, all the time. It’s normal to hear that if you’re not moving the vehicle when the suspension adjusts. It’s the brakes chattering because you’re forcing your wheels to move ever so slight then lowering or raising the vehicle.

I’m right handed so holding the charge plug with it, then cup my left hand over the charge port to block the parking light and let me see the actual charge port.

And the church of Rivian says Amen! We are Q1 2024 buyers of the Gen 1 Quad Large. Anyone remember the crazy things Rivian was doing with the math back then to achieve their quarterly target? At the time I was completely oblivious to the kind of deal we were getting. Then earlier this year I...

We use a Google nest doorbell as our doggie cam. So in this case, having the WiFi hotspot is necessary.

I’ve been extremely happy with my Frontrunner Slimline II. I was initially worried that the wind fairing might crack the glass since it does contact the front edge of it. If had this rack on 100% of the time for 18 months and zero issues. the way it connects to the mounting points is as solid...

Yeah, I’m pretty disappointed that my GEN one is not going to progress any further with its autonomous driving. It was very “legacy OEM” of Rivian to build it this way.

I had to replace all tires on both the R1S and Model Y at the same time, so I went with a more economical and less typical choice, Nokian One HT. I was warned they would be a bit noisier. They are slightly more noisy than the OEM tires. However, at half the price, they are not twice as noisy as...

I would think not if our vehicles were bought in early 2024, unless subsequent updates continue to include previous firmware updates. Not sure if it’s like Microsoft where you must do each update in sequence. (I hope it’s not like Microsoft, actually! 😂)

I feel your pain and the service center told me they are out of stock and couldn’t give me a good answer on ETA.

Thanks for posting about this topic. I literally just returned from the Melrose Park SC to have them look at this issue in our R1S Quad Gen 1. So I dropped off the vehicle yesterday. Before leaving I rode with the service technician. We tested it in Conserve and was still making the subtle...

Yes, with a new battery. I did test the brand new battery with a multi-meter and the reading was 2.5 volts. It should be 3+ volts at a minimum. The Rivian tech tested with another new battery. There is actually a problem with the key fob. I also finally did get confirmation from Rivian that it’s...

Rivian says my key fob is dead and I need a new one. They also stated they are out of stock, and I couldn’t get an answer about the warranty on these. Does anyone know? Mine is 1.5 years old, came with the Gen 1 R1.

Maybe you’ve done this already, I would recommend you take a look on the PlugShare App. Sometimes it shows chargers that are not published in whatever database Rivian uses.
