Alternative Take: Don’t buy “a” Rivian… buy TWO. I did, and I haven’t regretted it a single day 😎

While we are on the topic, I find the sensitivity of the “auto” wiper modes lack-luster. It is either over-eager or does one wipe every 3 mins. Here in the PNW, where there is a constant mist, I find they struggle to find the right balance.

TIL - Badwater Basin in Death Valley, California sits at 282 feet below sea level.

According to the app, my lowest elevation is -296 ft. I don’t remember an OTA for “Journey to the Center of the Earth” Mode, but here we are. Now I’m genuinely curious: 🧐 Who’s gone lower?

I was on 21” OEM tires and picked up a set of 20” wheels from the forums. Since the switch I seem to be getting almost exactly 2.0 mi/kWh on the freeway. My estimated range went down 25 miles. Max charge now shows 305 miles of range, which so far has felt pretty accurate. Apologies for the...

I just put Duelers on my R1T. I only have 600 miles on them, but I like them so far. The road noise difference is not noticeable, and the ride over rough roads is significantly smoother.

I bought from existing inventory (LA Silver), and the listing never mentioned a wrap. When I picked it up, it had a matte wrap. Honestly, I probably never would’ve paid for one. I didn’t think I was a “matte guy,” but I absolutely love it on the truck. It’s so much easier to maintain than I...

Apparently, Seattle screwed up and issued a filming permit to Rivian when they shouldn't have (See link below). https://www.seattlebikeblog.com/2025/09/07/seattle-permitted-a-car-commercial-shoot-in-the-middle-of-bicycle-weekends-and-an-accessible-cycling-event/ The article has a cool shot of...

I have these plastic trashbins in each of the door pockets of our Rivians, but they are cheap plastic and rattle around. Anyone find a better solution for trashbins? Having two kids in the back creates a LOT of garbage!

I’d like to cast a vote for side mirrors that tilt down when in reverse. The camera view really only works during the day…when it’s not raining.

The new service center in South Seattle is amazing. I’ve had 2 issued fixed in the last year, once in Bellevue & once in South Seattle. The service turnaround time in Seattle was much quicker.

My polestar 2 lease is up this month & I was lucky enough to grab a ‘24 R1T. So now we are a full Rivian (R1S + R1T) household as well! Picked it up today & was excited to find out it had the stealth wrap! Maybe I should’ve read the fine print a little better ?

I have a Polestar 2. They did an OTA performance upgrade and it only cost $1000. I like that number much better than $5000 ?

I picked up one of these too. My kids call him “Scary Gary” ?‍♂️

Great job on the lettering! I’d love to know your technique. You should make a YouTube series out of this! ?

Getting my R1S back tomorrow. They said the culprit was the drain valve on the HVAC. They replaced that and the carpets. Good as new, I hope! ?

Rivian service tech said they moved up my appointment to ASAP because there are sensitive components around the foot well that are water “resistant” but can’t handle large amounts of standing water. They plan to fix the leak, replace the carpets, and check all of the nearby components ? In the...

Update: Rivian reached out to me this morning and wanted me to bring in the R1S the same day. My schedule didn’t work for that so I’m bringing it in first thing tomorrow. Nice to have them be so pro-active! They must have some flag on issues like this…

We actually have the Chilewich, but my wife (It is her daily) primarily parks in our driveway. Thanks for the tip on leaving the AC as much as possible. I’m in Seattle so that should be easy this time of year!

Just discovered this same issue today ☹ in our Gen1 R1S.The carpet in the driver and passenger foot wells was soaked & the white mold was starting to appear. I didn’t notice until we came out to the car one morning and the glass roof was dripping with condensation. I vacuumed a solid pint or...
