Right?! I've been wondering this as well. I mean okay, sure, the computers are running and what not. But with that size of battery, I feel like you could power 5 laptops for months and still barely make a dent in the enormous Rivian battery. I bet it has something to do with the battery...

I understand this in theory, but in practice for the average consumer, can you please explain how charging to 100% is really that detrimental? I get that it reduces the lifespan of the batteries and is not good practice to do every day. But also, the battery pack has a 10 year warranty. I'm...

It seems like the birds-eye view got worse. In the Before, you can see a smooth curb line, making one continuous image at the front left. In the After, the curb line is a mess.

Don't skip leg day

I turned this off after the first week. I was constantly fighting the steering wheel and now my driving experience is much better.

The Missing Features is really my biggest beef with the vehicle. Any other vehicle in this price range is feature rich. I'm talking massage chairs, cup holder heater/cooler, parking assist, passenger screen, rear passenger screens, custom accent lighting, highly integrated maps that display...

Jeep Grand Cherokee, Wagoneer, or Grand Wagoneer. All three of those have insane features, just ooze lux, and are pretty off-road capable. I have a friend that has a Grand Wagoneer and the air suspension is flawless. It has a kneel mode similar to Rivians' but works much better and smoother...

Definitely not. If you want a $100k vehicle and don't care about electric, there are wayyyyy nicer options out there. If all you care about is electric, then I would wait a little longer because more options are coming out every month. If you want an off-road capable/practical, electric, and...

Exactly! What else is being delayed until they can start charging for them? We know they are working on these type of improvements, that is no secret.

True and thanks for the response. I agree that the distinction between things that were advertised and not is important. But at the same time, Snow Mode and Kneel mode were not advertised, but were somewhat expected in a luxury vehicle. I would not expect to pay for improvements like those.

This just isn't true in the slightest. If it was, every single Rivian owner would be very unhappy. When they were first delivered, you couldn't even get in your Rivian because the bluetooth logic in the fob and phone app was so bad. Gear Guard was basically an unusable mess of videos. Spotify...

My concern is this: " "As our membership grows, we’ll continue adding benefits, including drive modes, enhanced vehicle capabilities, in-cabin content and gatherings at Rivian spaces and events. Once you get your vehicle, membership will be complimentary for a trial period. After that, you can...

If they aren't ready to define exactly what is in the Membership, then keep it free. That's only reasonable. I know that the email says this will go into effect on January 16th, but I have a feeling all that means is when you ask for something like vehicle extraction service post Jan 16th, they...

Dear Rivian Owners, When we bought our Rivian's, the understanding of buying a brand new vehicle from a brand new manufacturer was that it might not be perfect Day 1, but things would improve over time. This goes for software updates, drive modes, phone app, roadside service, mobile service...

I couldn't agree more on this. They keep emphasizing their community and the meetings and the meeting spaces they built. I think more emphases on just about any other deliverable (like RAN chargers, Camp Kitchen, Gear Shuttle, software updates, etc.) would be more appreciated by their customers...

Complain on forums like this and reddit.

The difference is the other manufacturers disclosed those paid options / add-ons BEFORE you purchased the vehicle. They didn't sell vehicles with undefined options and start charging a-la-carte for features. These are features, not options. If they start charging for Gear Guard, when everyone...

I agree with you, but the language also said that it can be changed at any time without notice. When I purchased, I brought this exact concern up to my guide and they basically said if I didn't like it then don't buy it. I asked over and over what the Beta Membership included, how long it was...

Another thing many people are glossing over is that going from Bundled to a-la-carte is a huge difference. When it was a broad bundled membership, you can justify over-paying for basic features like live maps or Spotify because the membership also includes more expensive and seldom used features...

One major difference is that any other car allows carplay. Or even a usb audio connection to the vehicle. Rivian is quite literally forcing us to pay them or we go back to the stone age.
