  1. Don’t buy a Rivian and why?

    I agree 100%. It reminds me of some of the reviews I read for hotels. I stay at over a hundred nights each year. I love the reviews, for instance, on a 3 star hotel: "They didn't serve me eggs Benedict in bed each morning." "There was a piece of lint on the carpet." "They didn't give me...
  2. What Did You Expect To Use… But Actually Never Do?

    For those that use the gear guard cable....be careful. They can be cut pretty much with a fingernail clipper. Caught a guy on the gear guard camera stealing two bikes worth about 10k using a small side cutters to clip the cable. (Fortunately I had Airtags ont he bikes and got both of them...
  3. What do you think of these 10-year real-world cost comparisons?

    Sorry for the beating you are taking on your post comparing the 10yr costs. You obviously put a lot of energy and thought into the post...and I appreciate the effort and information. OF COURSE you didn't take every little thing into consideration, and OF COURSE things differ for different...
  4. Borealis Purple R1T Delivery Day!

    I am SOOOOOO jealous!!!!!!!! I did not understand how "limited" this was going to be. I was hoping to get an R1T Gen 2 in early 2027. From what I can see, that is not going to be possible...to get it in the Borealis color that is. I am obsessed with this color. Next time I'm visiting family...
  5. Seeking advice - 12V battery likely dying as I write this

    I think getting someone to go there and charge it is your best bet. Do you belong to any Rivian Facebook groups in Montreal? Post on there and ask if someone can retrieve it and get it charged up for you...or maybe just move it to a charging station there at the airport. I can help locate...
  6. I done did it

    Very neat. I’ve had th dual high performance for two years now and love it!!! And…now….like many…I want the Borealis!! However, I’m going to wait for the self-driving coming in about … well, who knows; but hopefully very soon in 2027. did you consider waiting for upgrades to the FSD?
  7. Only able to program 8 garage doors

    Nobody -- that I know of -- has been successful getting a Ghost gate opener programed.
  8. Who has the most miles?

    I have 49 states. :) And I'm still thinking about shipping it to Hawaii. I'm pretty sure not too many vehicles have been to all 50 states...let alone any Vivian's.
  9. Only able to program 8 garage doors

    I wished I could get JUST ONE Ghost gate opener programmed. :(
  10. Well Rivian, I'm stumped

    Some people have WAY too much time on their hands. LOL

  12. Cost to remove item from under seat

    I'm curious...in case I have to do it in the future...do you remember what size socket you used to remove the bolts? Did you use a torque wrench to make sure they were properly tightened? Did you have to totally remove all of the bolts? Was there any electrical connections that needed to be...
  13. PSA for those getting a new phone -- you could be boned if you do this....

    I know a guy (me!) who had his wallet (with a keycard) and phone in his truck. He shut the door and, voila, the door locked!! Hmmmm. So...I--I mean the guy called Rivian support on a friend's phone, and support was able to unlock the truck remotely. I forget how they validated the guy was the...
  14. Lucid Gravity In Depth Review

    I ALMOST got the underbody protection and dropped it at the last minute because I thought: I'm not going to do that to my new baby!! But I did buy the very heavy tow straps. lol. Oh, well, those could come in handy in snow..........pulling SOMEONE ELSE out of snow. Too funny.
  15. Lucid Gravity In Depth Review

    "...the fact of the matter is that most people who buy these "offroad" style of vehicles will never see anything more dangerous than perhaps an unpaved road." LOVED this line. Especially loved it because it's so true. And it's true FOR ME!! I bought the R1T with the thought that I was...
  16. Easy Charging networks besides Rivian and Tesla

    It seems like I have had plug-and-charge experience with CharePoint...right? Or maybe I have to tap the screen with my phone. Also, I avoid RAN charging as it's -- in many cases -- much more expensive than Tesla. I have a subscription with Tesla that is well worth the monthly subscription...
  17. Newbie to R1T - passenger or driver side mount ikamper 3.0 Mini ?

    I would have liked to have mounted my iKamper SkyCamp mini 4.0 so the ladder was on the driver's side. Would be way more convenient for accessing. But the instructions that came with it says to put the access point on the passenger side. :( As far as efficiency, I saw an article where a guy...
  18. TANK MODE: When is update coming?

    I don't mean this as a knock to anyone, but I always wonder: What is the fuss about "tank turn"? I would rather Rivian spend their time on more practical things. I wished they had never entertained this idea. It's such a waste of time with no real bang for the buck....IMHO. Again, not...
  19. Looking to rent your Rivian Rooftop Tent (June 12 - June 15)

    Sorry I'm just now seeing this. I'm near Frederick Maryland. As for how much...I'm open for suggestions.
  20. 30-day no-use // how much battery drain?

    To ease your mind, I live in Italy six months of the year. I go in two three-month segments. So my truck sits unused for three months at a time twice a year. It's always been unplugged. Once a month my daughter plugs it in to charge it to 80%. I would lose 1.3 to 1.5 percent per day...
