Most manufacturers just license and install Mobileye or a competitive solution. They do not design/build their own. BMW uses Mobileye (expensive version) that works really well, others like Rivian GEN1 deployed the "cheapest" Mobileye ... Fortunately, Lukas opened a world of openpilot for us...
Hello,
I looked at my R1T QM 23, after 2 years and 30k miles, and it shows 130.5 kWh battery capacity. Same range as when I took delivery.
Aka almost no degradation at all.
Rivian, like Tesla, uses NMC batteries. Tesla's average degradation for MY is about 7-10% over 2 years.
I also looked at...
Hello,
It is time to move to another EV, so selling my 2023 Rivian R1T, 29,921 miles, Limestone exterior with Ocean Coast interior
Production date: March 23, put in service May 23, so 3 years of full bumper-to-bumper warranty.
One private owner, garage kept, no off-roading. Title on hand...
Right on spot - basic mechanics. Rivian has a great software, but basic car mechanics is what failing them. However, this is due the fact that they did not have enough time to test it and polish as other manufactures.
I do not think anybody has verifiable data for this.
As many on this forum know, I am very vocal about SC issues. That said, my personal experience was very good, and while the application showed 2-3 months waiting time, I just go to SC (I live nearby) and get it scheduled when I needed.

On a positive note, I saw few events in Dallas where drivers can come and do basic maintenance on the spot, including changing a 12V battery. Also, they have a senior Rivian specialist to answer any questions. Definitely a step in the right direction.
Well, this is very extensive list. However, some of these items are "working as designed":
Chassis
Front end "clunks" over sharp edged bumps
Have been told this is "normal", however it's becoming more frequent
Something is clearly loose and needs to be addressed
Interior
PAAK and fob...
Great and 100% correct points!
I am not sure if Rivian is reading or listening to what people say here. But they should - service operations can not continue like this. Even through COVID, with supply chain issues, I had much better service and waiting times with other cars. Current waiting...
Look, I think it is now difficult to ignore the flood of issues people are reporting. Facebook and here. I have only great experience with SC, they are super. But replacing motors, half shafts, calipers, shocks, and other things in 2 year truck is not normal. I never got stranded , it just weird...
