  1. Is CANADA a strategic market for Rivian or a place to dump unsold trucks ?

    These are tiny numbers that I'd say you are reading too much into. Believe me, I wish there was more US allocation of 2023 and 24 models. I've been trying like hell to get my hands on a 2024 Quad pickup here in the US, and every time a batch of them land in the store (3-5 typically land weekly...
  2. Considering replacing 2023 Launch Edition r1t with 2025 r1t standard pack - Am I crazy?

    All depends on your use case, but I'm going with "yes" :). I'm trying to replace my 2022 Adventure with a 2023 or 2024 Adventure. I want to "upgrade" (aka - still have a fully warrantied R1T), but I don't want to surrender the quad motor! Happy shopping!
  3. Atomic Wheels range tests on AT and Road tires

    I'm about to switch from factory 20" A/Ts to factory 21s, but now I'm wondering if I should just buy those Michelin Defenders and try them on the stock wheel!
  4. Rattling front left suspension - Anyone else?

    The suspension on these trucks is noisy for sure. It's hard to say if yours is the same without actually hearing it in person, but mine has been noisy since the day I got it (w/ 10 miles on it). I think the weight of the vehicle and the overly complex suspension design work together to cause it...
  5. In search of the best hitch-mount bike rack for R1S

    +100 for the 1UP racks. I've been through a variety the last 5 years or so, and the day I got this thing I got rid of all my other racks. Also, FWIW I've been running this on my R1T for the last 2 years (and thousands of miles of road tripping with the bikes), it doesn't require a hitch...
  6. Poll: How many service center visits did your R1 require in the first year of ownership?

    Whew.. sadly I'm an outlier. I voted for the highest option, but here are my total stats. For the record, I love this truck and I'd buy it again, but I won't own it for a single day beyond the bumper-to-bumper warranty. This probably deserves it's own write-up, but here we go. 20 months of...
  7. Well that sucks! Rivian insurance doubles in 1 year

    I'm just beyond my third renewal with State farm. I'd have to go back and look at billing statements to see if there's been any increase at all, but I'm still at $1280/year either way.
  8. Is anyone else as pissed off/frustrated at having to pay for the reinforced underbody just because I need the 20” wheels?

    I'd almost call the underbody shield just a bonus item at the price they're doing the off-road package. IIRC the 20" wheels had gone north of $2k before everything got combined into the package, and didn't include a spare which is another $1240.
  9. Colorado Checking In

    Hi All, curious if there are any Rivian meet-ups or trail days planned during July? I'm heading out (from Kansas City area) in my R1T and will mostly be living out of the RTT for the month. In addition to the obvious camping, I'm planning on some road and mountain biking, and some light wheeling...
  10. Greenville, SC to Panama City Beach, FL

    That efficiency makes me so jealous! I never average more than about 1.8 over any real distance. Typically more like 1.7. I may have to invest in a set of 21s!
  11. Rivian E-Bike is Coming. RJ Tells Staff Electric Bike in Development

    These " hemorrhaging cash" comments are so over-used and comical. OF COURSE they are losing money... do you think the infrastructure, facilities and people necessary to build and deliver a new-to-market vehicle are free or something!? They could sell these trucks for $1M each and they'd still be...
  12. Best Weather Proof All Weather Floor Mats?

    I just received my Husky's and came looking to either post a PSA or see if others had the same fitment issues. Doesn't look like I'm alone! No way am I cutting the buttons off the floor though. Returning these mats and getting the Rivian branded one's myself (too bad the cancelled the yellow...
  13. SNOW MODE & other nice upgrades coming in Rivian Software Update 2022.47 ❄️

    I just got a notice that I've got a 2022.47.2 update available for install.. anyone else seen this and have release notes? (I'm traveling and haven't found release notes on the web yet) I've definitely had bugs in .47.0, so hoping those are addressed (proximity/parking sensor errors and...
  14. 400 mi trip across Kansas/Missouri in R1T

    I'd say pretty standard in that cold. I'm based in Kansas City and (especially with the 20" A/Ts) rarely get above 1.8 mi/kWh on the highway even in the summer. Recently with the -20° days I've seen as low as 1.1. the whole experience is consistent with my prior two cars (Tesla S & 3)... Just...
  15. Comical kayak transport

    Get yourself and Oru! I keep one in the frunk and one in the gear tunnel!
  16. Undriveable at night in wet snow due to LED headlights not melting snow & ice

    As compared to 'just' running the climate control and seat heaters? Effectively not at all.
  17. Undriveable at night in wet snow due to LED headlights not melting snow & ice

    Heaters on the headlights would definitely get my vote. Like I mentioned in another comment.. My Tesla and my Jeep (which has upgraded LED headlights) have this same issue. A miss on all counts for sure, but Rivian definitely isn't the only manufacturer of unheated LED lights.
  18. Undriveable at night in wet snow due to LED headlights not melting snow & ice

    In more frigid temps the snow is substantially less sticky. I'm in Kansas, and it's about 50/50 here when I'll have this same issue (in any vehicle with LED headlights)
