  1. Don’t buy a Rivian and why?

    I get your frustration but there is a reason why they only have one way to communicate with them and that is because communications costs a lot, not nothing. I don't like their method of communications either but hasn't really hindered me from communicating with them when I need to, I find it...
  2. Random Encounter

    Depends where you are, a couple weeks ago in Boston there were 4 of us at the same intersection 1 parked and 3 moving. Unfortunately the S driver didn't wave.
  3. It's witchcraft, I tells ya!

    Been that way for ages with Nissans dumbest thing in the world, does the same with temp readings, compass and maintenance warnings on ICE cars too the two systems have overlapping features but do not talk to each other. But yes not having the odometer or clock in the driver display is also...
  4. Why is service still so inept?

    I'd say it's a training/experience issue, lot of young people at the service centers not sure if it's an intentional hiring practice, the pay structure or just experienced techs not wanting to take a chance with startups or EV's in general. Probably a mix of all of that.
  5. Scout delayed again to 2028/2030 according to reports

    The overheating issues were kind of predictable given where they are planning to place the engine. Rumor was the EREV was just an after thought and not tested prior to reveal then the reservations locked them in forcing them to pivot away from the BEV. Hopefully with the delays they are...
  6. What’s been your biggest "aha!" moment after months of R1 ownership?

    For me I'm reminded how bad the suspension really is compared to my other car, same with wind noise and missing the finer luxury details. I justify it by reminding myself it's pretty awesome for a pickup truck and no other truck offers a better package.
  7. Anyone have experience with the Cadillac Lyriq?

    No direct experience but I keep getting the itch every now and then as I love my CTS-VSport. PAAK is supposed to be coming soon. Though I hear they have halfshaft issues just like Rivian and there were also a bunch of improvements to DC fast charging but no idea how well it works now.
  8. Are supercars POINTLESS? Corvette Z06 vs Rivian R1T: DRAG RACE (by Carwow)

    If all you do is drag race sure but there is a lot more to driving enjoyment than going in a straight line. If I was buying a car for enjoyment the ZO6 would win 10 out of 10 times.
  9. Rivian partners with ALLDATA to expand repair service

    There are so many parts of this truck that are no different than ICE cars that doesn't require touching the HV that Rivian likes to gatekeep. No reason why brake service, 12v, air suspension, hydraulic sway control, tonneau cover, various seals and gaskets and etc. cannot be done by DIY'er...
  10. Securing plywood in R1T bed

    You can also use the tow hitch slots as anchor points but a pain to get too with the tailgate down.
  11. Battery pack SOH state of health data is coming in software update! (SOH, distance since last updated, max potential charge rate, current charge rate)

    It's cool that they are adding this, but going to suck with all the posts on here whining about SOH especially if the numbers keep changing. Maybe they should hide it in a menu so the average person can't find it easily.
  12. V2 Powered Tonneau Cover ($3300 installed) now listed in Rivian Gear Shop

    The answer would be a big fat no, they don't play nice to anyone doing work on it without their approval.
  13. Securing plywood in R1T bed

    Your setup is fine I just criss cross rear anchors the sheets don't move at all. With dimensional lumber you want to bundle it all together too. I don't recommend using anything other than the anchor points on this truck for heavy loads.
  14. Single Pedal Driving - Why Not an ICE Feature?

    No thank you, I enjoy driving, hating everything going with automatic transmissions this would just take away all remaining joy. Only reason to tolerate 1 pedal drive on an ev is because of regen.
  15. TMAT R1T trunk bed organizer - any experiences?

    I'd assume you'd lose 3/4" as stated in the specs as for how it works wouldn't really be different than any other truck. That part that would suck is the extended reach for the folding piece between the tailgate and bed that other trucks don't have.
  16. Toyota reveals Hilux electric pickup (not coming to US)

    $50k isn't that bad considering the ice version starts around $40k. Though nothing really compelling here as far as pushing the boundaries but that is Toyota in general.
  17. College Students Rebuilding R1S Rear Suspension

    Nice are you planning on more detailed videos on preforming some of the work?
  18. What did you do TO / WITH your Rivian today? 🧰

    Just normal truck things 10ft lumber doesn't look so sketchy with the long reach tailgate. Wish it had a bumper corner step though.
  19. Shorter Service Subscription Interval

    Does this require you to be a licensed business or can anyone sign up? Is the diagnostics, advanced Ride menu software access to reset codes?
