Feels like robbing Peter to pay Paul. The stock is stuck, and nothing so far has moved it meaningfully. They need to do something to lift market cap, otherwise any future borrowing is going to get expensive fast.
Not really surprised at all, it has been a massive win fall for a lot of us since 2016. The most resilient mega-cap stock out there with only Nvidia out-performing amongst the big/mega cap crowd. 4-5x the return of Microsoft and Apple the last 10 years. RIVN is duplicating their entire...
Quick thread hijack — does this trick actually let you swap the rear pads without going through all the Rivian ritual? And on a perfectly healthy R1, is it gonna throw any codes if you do it this way?
This ^^^. I had two bikes mounted on the rails (1 UP rails) and two bikes on the 1 UP hitch mount on a trip to Sedona and it was a solid 15-20% hit at freeway speeds.
I’m an experienced Rivian owner with 68,000 miles and four full years in an R1T, and I know how to hyper‑mile an R1S on 21s. Stopping every 125 to 170 miles on the freeway just isn’t practical.
On my 1,000‑mile‑each‑way trip to Austin for the R2 reveal, my 2022 LE R1T on 20-inch ATs averaged...
I experienced a solid 5%+ hit with two MTB's on a 1 UP hitch mounted bike rack. Multiple long road trips to Utah, CA and throughout AZ as my data points. 10%+ mounted on cross bars over the bed of our R1T. As always, YMMV.
$59,900 for the Performance, Lidar, 1-year free Autonomy + and a free key-fob (tow package extra) and the choice of 3 exterior colors. This is the likely promotional deal according to me ;)
The pricing and feature strategy for the LE is brilliant. It should keep the entire 2026 run effectively sold out, as anyone sitting on the fence won’t be able to withstand the allure of FOMO. Buyers will rush to secure an early build and largely overlook the fact that LIDAR is expected to...
Thank you. Like many things, there are hundreds of options, but I have two set's of these below from Amazon, as I prefer solid rubber and I like the built-in handle. YMMV.
Rubber Tire Chocks Amazon
Priced just like we thought. Model Y Performance. It had to be there. I'm thrilled for Rivian, and if by some miracle they can ramp up quickly and nail quality, it will sell very well. However, it isn't for me as it's only 1" longer than a CR-V.
Double‑Pump Method for Lifting the Rear of a Rivian R1
When lifting the rear of a Rivian R1, you’ll notice the jack naturally tilts as the vehicle rises (see above photo). This happens because the rear suspension has significant droop, as the truck lifts, the rear control arms swing inward and...
