  1. Clunking noise when pushing and releasing gas pedal

    My R1S doesn't have a gas pedal. Was it an option?
  2. I hate the seat belt retractors in this car

    I've had this issue with almost every car I've owned. Unlike my wife, I actually ensure the belt has retracted and is stored out of the way when I unbuckle and before opening the door. The move is totally automatic to me now. Wifey, on the other hand, just throws the belt off and jumps out. I'm...
  3. What to use to clean wood interior

    I think Rivian recommends this stuff from Dr. Beasley for cleaning and maintenance. I have not tried it. I would try it on something other than my vehicle first. If that wasn't possible I'd try it on a passenger door in a spot as discrete as possible.
  4. Hey Alexa, are you listening?

    OK, correct. Sign out of Alexa, then sign in again.
  5. Hey Alexa, are you listening?

    Have you tried deleting the Alexa app in the Rivian then re-installing it?
  6. Alignment through Rivian Service center???

    My R1S pulled a little to the right from day one. After 3k miles I had the Richmond VA SC do an alignment. The tech that took a test ride with me wasn't sure it was pulling right. I politely asked them to please run through the process and give me the before and after print-outs. Yep. You could...
  7. Center Console is locked while driving...how to access??

    Each lid half of the armrest console has a switch. One of mine stopped working. The other works fine. Mobile service scheduled. Never experienced either 'locking.'
  8. Peeling next to driver side indoor hand pull

    Thats not peeling. It looks just like the effect paint stripper has on paint. Solvent attack.
  9. Debris trapped under the roof panels / strips.

    I would use shop vac and a small piece of string trimmer line (or similar small flexible 'pick' with a rounded end) and gently clean the gaps. I would not do a pressure washer—too much potential to damage a seal. Just my thoughts.
  10. Front bumper trim warping?

    I think this is a molded part. If the molding process is not well controlled the resulting part can have internal stresses—much stronger than the adhesive can overcome. Get it hot and you might seem them start acting. I would guess that's the issue. I would Think Rivian would replace it under...
  11. Inaugural parking lot ding…

    I've probably lost a couple pounds since I picked up my R1S in December. I'm walking from spots in parking lots that are literally as far as I can get from anyone else. My alternate is to find a really well cared for vehicle out in the boonies that I assume is an employee who values his ride. I...
  12. Updated wireless charging pad installed

    Disappointing. I thought the Gen2 would actually be a new unit (that works). Oh well.
  13. Damper module replacement

    I'm just thrilled that you used the word damper instead of dampener.
  14. Rivian Software Update 2024.19.04, 3D Cel Shading, Live Camera View, Climate Control Improvements

    I really don’t like the cel shading. Looks like a fan of anime got his wish. I wonder if doing graphics this way is faster or less memory hungry?
  15. Why did my truck change colors in the app?

    I don’t like the new graphic image of my R1S. Looks like a cartoon for kids. It used to look cool. Bummer.
  16. Two problems before I engage with service

    Good advice about putting in a ticket with the SC but...in my experience wiper arms are attached to a splined shaft on the wiper motor. The splines keep the arm from slipping on the shaft. If it's been like this from day one, I'd say it was an assembly error from the factory. The fix will likely...
  17. Over 730miles with a 4,500lb trailer and boat…terrible experience!!!

    The only surprise here is the OP's surprise. Just like in ICE vehicles, faster equals reduced range, especially above say 55-60. Here's what I've seen in my R1S PDM. Cruising on country roads between 45 and 50 mph I will see efficiency hitting almost 3mi/kwh. Fabulous. On the interstate at 65 it...
