  1. 20" Inch New Goodyear 20” tire option - available when?

    Just swapped 21s for 20 inch Atomic rims and Goodyear Wrangler Territory AT 116, 275 60 r20. Slightly more tire noise, but with the radio on, I do not notice. They look great too. Speedometer is the same as my 21s, always reads 2mph faster than GPS mph.
  2. Wish the speed limiter could be increased

    Just think of how much regen you can capture slowing from 130!!
  3. My poor R1S totaled but saved my life

    If you have a hard drive, memory stick, in the center console it may have the video.

    Cool, external hinges on the doors to have bubbled paint after 2 years. Good choice Jeep.:clap:
  7. Rivian vs deer. Repair cost?

    My front driver side deer collision was estimated at about $5200 by insurance but ended up being $37000, taking 3 months at the Certified shop. Had to go back in for more fixes after the initial repairs were faulty. Certified Shops are having trouble getting parts from Rivian and the labor costs...

    Purchasing 2 sets of tires has been the key for us. Part of living in a cold, snowy environment.
  9. Introductions & Welcome Thread 👋

    Be wary of where your service center is located and how long it can take for repairs. Also look to see where certified repair shops are located.
  10. Scout is going to be a big threat to Rivian

    Scout esthetics seem much more appealing than my R1S. Reserved one!
  11. Devastated… rear ended in my brand new week-old 2025 R1S

    Our damage was initially estimated at 5k and then ballooned to 37k. Took 3 months to repair. I wonder if they will total your R1s.
  12. Thoughts on Certified Repair Shop work

    Auto shop said it was damaged on delivery and they decided to fix it rather order a new one.
  13. Thoughts on Certified Repair Shop work

    So, I received my R1S back after getting insurance repairs for a deer collision done at Certified Rivian Repair shop. In the process they installed a new hood, but photos from the shop that were sent to insurance for coverage show some bondo repair on the new hood that they installed. Shouldn't...
  14. Rivian EDV (Amazon Delivery Van) Production Suspended Due to Parts Shortage

    Rivian has a problem getting parts out to the repair shops too. We waited over 2 months for Rivian to get the certified shop parts to repair our R1S.
  15. Saturday Errands turned into Hit & Run

    Another tip I learned is to inquire about Rivian specific labor rates and what insurance is willing to pay. Make sure the shop talks to the insurance about the final agreed upon rates before starting repairs. Our Rivian certified shop charges almost double the normal rate for non-EV cars, and...
  16. Cybertruck goes to war

    Mad Max all over again!
  17. Saturday Errands turned into Hit & Run

    I learned from my process that Rivian will not sell new repair parts to non -certified Rivian shops. Also, the labor cost per hour is higher on a Rivian than other vehicles and insurance does not want to pay for the higher labor rates.
  18. Saturday Errands turned into Hit & Run

    Don't want to burst your bubble, but my deer collision was estimated at $5200 and now is at $33,000.00 and still waiting for completion after 3 months. Hopefully your outcome is better. Parts are slow from Rivian.
  19. Deer hit the front end... repair cost?

    Cost of repairs is up to $33,000.00. Still waiting on the vehicle. The certified repair shop is now fighting with the insurance company over payment of supplemental repairs. The saga of Rivian repair continues.
