@Thomas328, Sorry this happened to you. From your description and the photos it seems as though the DS wheel would have taken a significant impact causing unknown damage to the front drive unit. I'd be very surprised if not Totaled which is probably a good thing. The good news is I'm yet to hear...

Agreed if you buy a R1T it's going to have more problems than a Tacoma. However most of those problems are due to features and capabilities that Toyota, or Dodge or Chevy don't offer. So yes more gadgets = more gadgets to break. I still choose my Rivians over any other vehicle. Lexus GX and...

@Hereforthesnacks I appreciate you stating your opinions of Rivian in a respectful manner. I however disagree with all of them. I do not read the examples you gave from other posters mentioning warranty of being concerned rather just pointing to a vehicle of this nature is worth more with a...

@BigSkies the Rivian 120V outlet uses a DC-AC inverter. This means output power is not a true AC sine wave but either a simple square wave or a pulse-width-modulated wave. Sensitive electronics sometimes don't play nice particularly with square waves. This may also be contributing to your issues.

@paranee2 Rivian recommends a daily charge limit of 70% for optimal battery longevity. If 70% range is sufficient for your daily needs that's best practice. If you need more, charge to a level that fits as needed. Reality is the battery is warrantied regardless of charging patterns. Personally I...

My understanding is UL is currently working on required specifications and certification testing procedures for CCS1 to NACS DC adapters. Once complete the A2Z adapter and presumably the "official" Ford and Rivian adapter as well as likely the Lectron Vortex will be UL tested. Currently NO...

@freshpow, I second the above. Good luck. At a minimum Rivian should be willing to perform the service request even if they feel it was user error. I also agree with @SoCal Rob probably best to remove your aftermarket install for Rivian service. On a side note this makes me very apprehensive to...

I'm very curious what has been discovered from the incident last year and what they will find from this incident. Both the causality and what the outcome for the owners are. If this were me I would only feel I was made whole with a replacement of exact configuration R1T new or used in...

I suspect a number of factors led to break pads wearing faster than anticipated. Primarily they are heavy trucks and even though I use regen to the greatest extent possible Rivian software sneaks in more blended breaking than most of us realize. My daily commute involves a long fairly steep and...

R1T/S have both odometer and trip meter albeit only visible when in the drive mode screen. I'm very pleased with the level of tech. in my 2022 R1T. I had a 2023 Mach-E which had AA/CP and much prefer the U/I of the Rivian. I just checked out a $120K Hummer EV (the full spec. Launch edition...

@JoulesVerne, my rear pads were down to the indicator bar as well at ~50K miles so I had them replace them when it was in for powered tonneau replacement. They did the front pads too just for good measure. They wanted to do the rotors but I declined. I don't think this is going to be an atypical...

Good post. Actually some of us have been on this forum for 4 years and been driving our R1T's for nearly 2.5 years. There are R1's with 100K on the odometer, mine has about 55K.

Yeah but I'll bet the efficiency of these above would probably be amazing!

Length of any string* can be found by folding it in half and doubling it. *does not work for quantum strings where the act of measuring changes the length such that each measurement will yield a different length. Also if I'm Rivian (I'm Not) I'm not spending resources retrofitting customer R1's...

Serious question, what's funny about leather? There exists eco friendly sustainable ways to tan leather. IMO it's better and more sustainable than the use of petrochemical "forever chemical" based interiors. Also I'm not sure but I think the steering wheel might be leather already. Personally...

I thought this is what bumper stickers were designed for. J/K, agree with everyone else I'd see what I could do buffing it out and if not happy take it to the preferred local body shop for a respray of the affected panel.

Disagree. Tesla chose to open the SC network to some other manufactures. I'm not privy to the terms that were agreed to and it doesn't matter. It is open to Ford and Rivian to the same degree it is open to Tesla. We are all equal customers at this point Tesla ended their charge network...

This comment drives me nuts " One of the more concerning things about the Rivian Delivery 500 is that there is neither a traditional ignition nor push button used to turn the vehicle on or off. Once the key is in range and the carrier is seated, shifting the gear is all that is needed to begin...

Any youtubers done a teardown of the A2Z adapter and an "official" Ford or Rvian adapter? Seems like this could settle this debate. It's quite possible the A2Z adapter is electromechanically superior to the OEM adapters. Also it should be easy to determine if the charger or the vehicle would...

I like when people try to explain how any given tech stock valuation is rational. I am furthest thing from a stock analyst but it sure seems to me that many stocks especially in the tech sector have irrational valuations. Some high and some low. Solar flares didn't brick all the EV's thus EV...
