I'm happy that the folks in SoCal get to see a gaggle of R2's, and freely admit that I'm jealous. I only wish Rivian would give a fraction of the love that it showers on that part of country to those of us who live in and near the Cradle of Liberty. I suppose we should be happy that Rivian...

The shipping cost from EV Sportline was what stopped me from ordering their bed extender; it was something like $65. I didn't know Rivian shipping was free if your order was $300, but even if you don't get to that threshold, it is pretty reasonable, on the order of $17 to my location.

I think you're on to something, though Bib is short for Bibendum: Seriously though OP, I think everyone on the forum can sympathize with what happened to you, but you will not get much love with a post lacking any significant detail or providing context. This is particularly the case when you...

After reading the responses (my thanks to all), it seems like throwing in the towel on the camp speaker and getting a storage drawer may be the best option. Too bad; on the very infrequent occasions when it worked, it sounded pretty good.

Sad to see no Rivian love extended to the sixth (or possibly fifth) largest metro area the country, and despite the region's hosting of many of the World Cup and Semiquincentennial events in 2026.

My camp speaker is the most problematic and frustrating element of my R1T. While no doubt some of the problems are due to user error, surely all of them can't be. The speaker has always been difficult to pair with my phone, a Galaxy S23, and I think I've only successfully done it once. It...

I don't agree that this move, even if the timeline is accurate (which it almost certainly is not), smacks of desperation. It does however provide some new, additional evidence that Elon is pretty much done with the car business and has moved on to figuring out how to conquer Mars or something...

I took delivery of my R1T in June of 2024 with the understanding that the PTC it was ordered with would be installed in the future. About five months later, Rivian notified me that the parts for the PTC were available, and I scheduled an appointment for the install. When I went to pick up the...

As I wrote, I'm guessing that the Rivian exemption was for a single location, which at least for the time being rules out a Pittsburgh site. That's unfortunate, but hopefully things will change. I was very surprised, albeit quite pleasant, when Rivian opened the Malvern SC. I had to go to...

The history of direct auto sales in WA seems to be quite similar to ours here in PA. The Board of Vehicles Act essentially prevents manufacturers from selling vehicles directly to consumers or even owing retail locations. The Act remains on the books in the Commonwealth, however Tesla lobbied...

I will be sticking with my Gen 1 R1T for the next couple of years. I wish Rivian would add more functionality, but all things considered, it's still a great vehicle in nearly every way. I also see an extended warranty in my future. The R2 is a very appealing vehicle, and may replace our...

That is a bit disappointing, particularly as most of us expected it to be 5,000 lbs. The wheelbase of the R2 is about 115", which could limit max trailer length somewhat, so I wonder if Rivian is being ultra-conservative with the weight recommendation because of that.

Gentlemen! You can't fight in here - this is the war room!

You are surely correct that most folks don't have a need for a pick-up truck, but they are hugely popular nonetheless. It's pretty apparent that many and perhaps even most folks don't use their truck as, well, a truck. Even though the R1T is my first pick-up, I'm not guilty of that. Small bed...

I think there is a use case for the Aptera as a commuter and around-town vehicle. The ability to self-charge, even if only partially is also an attraction. Not sure I'll actually convert my pre-order even if Aptera does finally get to market, something that is still very much in doubt, but given...

Thanks for taking the time to do the comparison and I agree with you that there is some overlap, perhaps even a substantial one, in the Venn diagram of R1S and EV9 buyers. With respect to the interior controls, I really think Rivian should poach a couple of engineers from Kia. I have a...

I didn't want to hijack a thread about the R2 in which a post suggested that a true fast charging system, something that provided a decent amount of range in about the same time as fueling an ICE vehicle, roughly five minutes, was needed to convince EV skeptics to go electric, and so started a...

Anyone have experience with the Aero Voyage blades? They were one of the brands recommended in a C&D review of wiper blades and come with a set of replacement blades, making their already modest $25 per pair price effectively half as much. The Amazon website says that they don't fit Rivian...

I'm not in GA, but would be happy to send a prepaid mailer along with some beer money. Alternatively, we'll be visiting my brother-in-law in Atlanta this spring and I could buy you that beer in person.

Bravo @SwampNut - great idea and terrific execution!
