  1. What are Rivian's plans to handle service and support once production ramps up? R2, R3 etc.

    I'm beginning my 4th winter with my R1T on 21's. I have had no service issues for 6 months. I hope that makes more room for people who may need it. Trust torque vectoring.
  2. Cannonball Run EV record attempt in a modified R1T

    I'm familiar with the Canon ball competition. Participants are allowed to select their own route as I recall. The race is not sanctioned by any highway patrol.
  3. Rivian in cold weather

    Yes, always keep it plugged in to something. I forgot to mention that.
  4. Rivian in cold weather

    It is not how warm the cabin gets, but how much cold can your body take when you are outside trying to get the charger to work. The cables become stiffer than 2x4s, charging is extremely slow, and taking it out in that kind of cold is very risky. I'm in NE Iowa driving in the latest blizzard...
  5. R2 in snow & cold temperature testing

    After three years near Dubuque IA, I have not experienced this problem. I drive OEM 21s and don't worry ever about traction. The torque vectoring features are phenomenal. For me, the risk benefit ratio of driving in snow that heavy does not make sense, Deep snow drifts across the highway, if...
  6. Michelin Defenders and warranty

    My Nissan dealer has new alignment equipment and had no problems doing my 2022 R1T I have 78k on my red canyon. I ran two sets of OEM 21. The first, mostly in Conserve. The second in All purpose. Milage and wear about the same with 28,000 each time in Iowa. I am now with Michelins, but I...
  7. Rivian Q2 2025 Earnings Results

    I'm just a schlub, but when I picked up my truck at the factory, he arrived and came right over. He has a lot of charisma and I don't think the board would ever consider removing him. Everyone wants to make money fast I guess. I spoke to him again at an open house. He doesn't reveal much to...
  8. R1S No Power At Rear 12v Cigarette Lighter

    Don't they still have mobile support? Ask a few questions of the service department at the factory. They will need to bring the part to your location if they still do that. I've had great service overall for a very reliable vehicle.
  9. R1S bricked and unresponsive while plugged in

    On July 4th, my 2022 R1t bricked like that, but was unplugged. I am 3.5 hours from the factory and had it loaded and towed without difficulty. The factory found a corroded and shorted out drivers side door opening wiring connection. I may have left a window cracked in the rain, or car wash...
  10. Beware, Beware the 12V Battery Warranty (Also positive Eastvale CA service center visit)

    With four month old batteries, my 2022 became a brick in the heat of the day. Towed into Normal for service and awaiting outcome. I suspect that just one of the batteries became inoperative. Charging from the trailer hitched did nothing. I have Good Sam towing insurance obtained through...
  11. Automatic Windshield Wiper activates randomly sometimes

    Normal behavior in my 2022 R1t. Happens when I back out of the garage many mornings. Sixty Eight thousand really fun miles, no major expense, but to change the two 12 volt batteries up front, and OEM 21 tires before winter each year.
  12. STUPID QUESTION - How Do I Turn Off My Truck!!??

    72k on m 2022 quad. Pretty sure mine goes to sleep at night while plugged in. It reboots and repairs itself? Don't forget to plugged it in though.
  13. Pirelli Launches Scorpion XTM All-Terrain Tire with gas and EV variants

    My gen one came with OEM Scorpions and most people want to get rid of them, get two sets of rims for their imaginary off roading and their winter tires for fear of getting stuck. Most of us are just doing our boring, every day getting around....doing it in fabulous luxurity, granted. The minor...
  14. R1T Tire size changeout - downsize to 20" AS, or smarter to go 22" AS?

    You will miss the quiet of the Scorpions. I sure did, and dislike the low speed clunks that came with the Defenders. Firm setting best with the Michelins for me. I had sidewall failures with both. Equal traction with both subjectively and surprisingly, much lower efficiency than the...
  15. Would there be any issues keeping Ride Height at "Low" full time, while in AP

    Running boards will rust and disrupt the air flow. Save that money and send her to the gym instead.
  16. Heating just keeps going

    On auto, I kept losing my vent settings each day. Turning off auto fixed that. After last update, or just randomly, my heater kept going up also. Running the heat setting all the way up and then all the way down maybe made that go away. Probably not, as the vehicle fixes itself sometimes...
  17. New Gen2 Key Fob now available in Rivian gear shop

    Gen one here....fob is in my right front pocket always. It unlocks the truck faster than my phone. I like it.
