Additionally, why can’t it use your average consumption for the range on the standard dash display? And, they should provide adjusted estimates in off-road modes. In sand, everything is wildly inaccurate (and it’s better to not drive in sand mode most of the time as the speed limit is set to...

Thanks. Yeah, I think it is inherent in Rivians to wear fronts faster. Guessing they know and that’s why they push the rotation so hard.

Does your vehicle show more power and stopping being directed to the front wheels when you open the detailed panel that shows power distribution, battery temp, motor temp etc? My fronts are wearing faster, and it makes sense as my vehicle powers and stops with the fronts more than the rears.

My R1S has had issues, lowering way down when parked, not sitting level (left right), frequent adjustments when driving. They have found a leak and a faulty valve. Back in for the third time as truck still doesn’t sit level (left right), does the moving during first few minutes of driving...

Maybe. Mine doesn’t do that.

YES, yes it is. Absolute garbage.

This is apparently normal, horrible operation. Why they wouldn’t have the key fob work like every single other key fob on the planet is beyond me. Yet another design failure

I was worried about the reliability of the air suspension way before I got mine. And now mine constantly lowers when it’s just sitting for no reason. Has ever since I drove it home. It also seems to randomly raise and lower when I’m driving, even though auto is turned off. Rivian has two...

My current thinking is it is going to be unwise to hold one of these early Rivians past the 5 year mark. There are far too many serious problems observed in many vehicles to justify it in my opinion. In addition to driveline, AC, and suspension problems, the overall build is suspect. I have...

I’ve read all the regs. They are extremely basic with no actual standards. Regen braking failing to activate brake lights is well documented, including in vehicles from non-US manufacturers. A UN standard is basically an aspiration, like the ABA model rules, with no teeth. And just because a...

Nope. Not a US reg.

This 100%. I often come to a stop without the brake lights activating until just before coming to a complete stop. As such, I have to watch and increase braking (less throttle application) to make sure the lights actually come on and I don't like it. My MINI EV activated the brake lights with...

It can be done, but it’s not a good idea. You will be tying down the liftgate. Given how badly most are misaligned, that may be a bad idea as leaving it unsupported could lead to something getting torqued. Strong likelihood of scratching or tearing up armrests on third row seats. Bear in...

Good thought but no. It’s a noise and also a significant jolt, so it’s not just something shifting around. Worst is when it does it when I’m slowing pulling forward when parking and it lurches forward.

IMO Rivian should lower the threshold. I can come to a stop with little to no brake light activation. It seems fairly common for the lights to only come on a few feet before I stop. Also, the lights sometimes cut in and out when coming to a stop as I am feathering the peddle so the stop is...

Thanks for the input. At this point, there doesn’t seem to be a single system on my vehicle without a problem. At what point do I have a lemon ?

Is anyone noticing a pronounced jerk/clunk feeling just before coming to a stop or when moving forward very slowly? Feels like something engaging or disengaging. Wondering if this is yet another problem or is normal.

Rivian needs to go back and analyze A LOT of things: inadequate AC system, no On/Off button, no satellite radio (for a vehicle that supposed to take us out of civilization), unreliable air suspension, charging problems, seating problems (don’t fold properly, hot as h$ll, pieces fall off)...

Of course my S was delivered with an air suspension problem. It randomly lowers itself while it is sitting. Sometimes it’s overnight. Sometimes it’s after 15 minutes. Sometimes it’s both fronts. Sometimes it’s a little drivers side and a lot of passenger side. Sometimes it comes back up...

Great… we are in Austin and I have like 10 things on my service ticket (which was booked 10 weeks out)… such BS.
