Normally, I don’t post these, as there are a ton of them and I don’t have much time. This one irked me more than usual, though. This time, between Vantage, WA and Ellensburg, the nav. tried to route me off I-90 onto a small, rural road network for dozens of miles, and then did it once more...

“Rivian’s second-quarter revenue included $34 million from the sale of regulatory credits.” I am not pleased to read this. This means that the Rivian you and I bought had no net environmental benefit; the purchase just enabled some other automaker to pollute more. You neighbor bought their pig...

There was a new R1S parked outside the upcoming Rivian store in Seattle today. It was roughly VIN 15,000. The tailgate looked better on this one (though still imperfect) but there were still moulding gaps, frunk gaps, and the silver brightwork around the third row window popped out about a...

Can anyone who’s been to a service center recently chime in on liftgate crookedness? Are R1Ss still heading to the Island of Misfit Toys?

I miss the network of five dealers in my greater metropolitan area, who competed for my service business. None of this central planning/monopoly stuff.

This morning, a driver of our R1S (not me) took the car to a brushless car wash and activated car wash mode. She then parked and exited the car to dry the windows. At that point, the car locked her out (despite having the fob in her pocket) and the screens went dark. She had to use the lift gate...

This has popped up four times so far now. The funny thing is, we do wait, and yet the message pops up again. Has anyone encountered this? We don’t drive off very quickly, so I’m puzzled.

Given the wide range of efficiencies reported in this forum, I wonder if anyone has run two R1Ses with the same wheels on the same route on the same day. I’d be very curious to see the efficiencies compared.

For discussion: https://slate.com/business/2023/04/cars-buttons-touchscreens-vw-porsche-nissan-hyundai.html You don’t see a lot of good news about road safety in the United States. Unlike in most peer countries, American roadway deaths surged during the pandemic and have barely receded since...

Someone hit my 21" wheel the other day and scraped up a few of the unpainted areas. The Rivian wheel's unpainted spots are CNC machined to a cool looking finish, but my local wheel shop can't repair them completely: their plan would be to repair the damage and then cover the CNC repaired spots...

I’ve tried RainX and a ceramic bonding but nothing keeps rain off the front and rear cameras. Are there any other products to try?

I was sitting in a parking space, parked, when a sedan straight up hit my wheel trying to park in the adjacent space. The entire truck rocked, but Gear Guard caught nothing at all. Zero. If I’m in the car, id GG somehow disabled? Does the car have to be locked? Pretty disappointed in GG; my car...

Hint given one message below.

This morning I confirmed what I had suspected: the nav. sometimes thinks I’m traveling on the express lanes below me, even though there is no possible way, from the path history, that this could be the case. This was evident when it rerouted me to an exit that doesn’t exist on the highway I was...

Impressive! And at only 50A! :-)

Today I had a rather odd experience; can anyone relate? I was stopped in traffic about fifty yards from a highway on-ramp, when all of a sudden the navigation wanted to reroute me downtown about a dozen blocks just to get back on the highway. I ignored it, and it turned out there was no traffic...

Does anyone know what these two bumps are, and why they would exist in the second row driver’s door frame, but not the passenger side frame?

Finally had the chance to take some photos of some issues which require service. EDIT: this occurred within the first 500 miles:

Temperature was in the 30s to 40s. Climate control was set to 70 degrees F. All driving was done in All Purpose mode. I'm not terribly pleased with this number. It should be possible to make both legs without any extra charging on the way and still keep a 10% buffer, but not with the efficiency...
