  1. Rivian R1T vs Tesla Model S white interior cleanup after 5k miles

    Can't vouch for RIVIAN, but my Model S with 60k miles is still vibrant white despite my dog routinely trashing it But there is an exception - the threads/stitching isn't quite as resilient. I've only noticed this after spilling a Thai iced tea and having orange threads for awhile but that went...
  2. Thinking about returning R1T, need some help.

    90% of people?...based on..?.... your own fortunate experience? Service wait times paint a very different number.
  3. Thinking about returning R1T, need some help.

    Where are these comments about “most people” being happy come from? People posting 50-70 day wait times are indicative of widespread issues plaguing many owners. Most owners aren’t posting on forums at all, so we have no data on them other than those service wait times. I’ve seen very few...
  4. Cold weather Kills the battery!

    Craigins nailed it n EV coming out of a warm garage will fare MUCH better than a car sitting outside at 0 degrees. I think this is one of the reasons person X swears it’s fine while person Y cites a 50% loss. Preconditioning helps but not as much as that toasty garage and don’t get cocky if...
  5. Anyone change to a Dual Motor?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that Bosch makes fantastic products. To me that's possibly the most appealing part of keeping the quad vs taking their brand new in-house dual. The latter is being offered as a cost savings mechanism rather than being an "upgrade", right? Maybe I...
  6. New EA Chargers Are Failing in the Cold - Fixed!!?

    The sky IS falling if you're the person stranded. -5 temps with a dead battery are not an inconvenience, they're a health emergency. How are you going to stay warm? Start the engine?... Hopefully you can get a tow truck and at least get home. Otherwise you might be utilizing 911. Maybe you can...
  7. How should I proceed with delaying my purchase?

    Hey friends, I'm lucky enough to have a pre-March reservation (ETA ~May 2023) but not lucky enough to have kept my job ? Dropping $74k on a truck seems like a rather bad idea, yeah? So I'm looking to delay it -- but they've now reached out to me via email and phone about confirming my...
  8. Alex on Autos' Follow-Up After Selling His R1T

    ugh, I'll take the bait. This is simply false. Apple Silicon in particular proves just how untrue this is in terms of what's possible and already to market. And it's going to keep improving. RIVIAN clearly has a problem hereof line of code -- "while(true)" -- could rapidly drain any device's...
  9. Rivian Email: Update on the Tonneau Cover for Your R1T

    When they first announced this I asked the online chat if/when I'd be able to purchase it later, if it would still be discounted, etc. In explicit, non-ambiguous language, they stated that there is no plan to create or offer a powered cover. Forever may be a long time and things change, sure...
  10. ⛔️ Powered Tonneau cover removed from R1T production until further notice on all future deliveries

    TLDR, rivian chat agent says no powered cover is planned.. maybe they’ll just offer powered owners a refund and remove it? It does seem like a big distraction for them, would be wise to abandon it (a little late)
