  1. Electric Upgrade Offer: get up to $5,000 off R1 purchase when trading in gas-powered vehicle

    I believe that Rivian is working with one of their investors (Cox Automotive?) when it comes to trade-ins. When I went through the process, they were competitive with everyone (within a few hundred dollars) with CarMax and local dealers undercutting everyone. This sounds like that same investor...
  2. Rivian cuts another 1% of workforce in new layoff (April 17, 2024)

    I haven't had a guide in months, or maybe all year. I've gone through 3 of them, have never met or spoken to any of them, and they have only ever "helped" with strange problems by referring me to the service team. They reminded me of Tom Smykowski from Office Space. " I deal with the *** ****...
  3. Community NVH Thread - Share your fixes for noises, rattles, clunks, squeaks

    Might be worthwhile to go through the NHTSA's list of Manufacturer Communications to see if Rivian is offering fixes for known issues. Link below as an example. https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2022/RIVIAN/R1T#manufacturerCommunications There is an issue on some 2022 R1T's with other speakers...
  4. 25k miles, 17 months, 10K kwh on original factory 21" tires

    The Pirellis have been great for me as well, even in heavy snow and rain. Ice, not so much but that's expected and mud isn't really an issue here so I have no data on that. I'm just over 20k miles, 2.35 mi/kWh average and I'm seeing wear bars but I have a set of 20" wheels that I'll be getting...
  5. 25k miles, 17 months, 10K kwh on original factory 21" tires

    Not soon enough for you, but I reached out to Michelin about the Defender M/S2 in 275/55R21 and they replied that these should be released in June/July this year.
  6. My Rivian Driver+ almost killed me

    I have yet had to "fight" the wheel. For me it is faster and easier to flip the right stalk up to disengage than to tap the brake to disengage. I usually force the wheel to disengage HA. I also do not find the CCS DCFC cable ends to be difficult to handle either, sometimes the cable is stiff but...
  7. My Rivian Driver+ almost killed me

    I had a few incidents using highway assist in the early months of first owning my T. Consistently when taking it in to their temp service center in Plymouth, it would attempt to veer off the road into a bridge at a specific exit. It was almost like it couldn't decipher the exit lane markings vs...
  8. Rivian is scheduling open service tickets for Powered Tonneau Cover issues by end of March

    Funny enough, I reached out to Rivian about two things recently - Guides and Powered Tonneau Cover. My PTC still works so no open tickets on it. My Guide has disappeared from the support information tab, evidently he was a part of the most recent layoffs. Here's their response: "When it comes...
  9. R1T ranked above Cybertruck and Lightning in real-world comparison test (Motortrend 3/18/24 review)

    It really depends on a lot of factors, so us comparing each other's experiences won't be apples to apples. I typically get just over 300 miles of use at 100% charge in All Purpose (standard height) at 70mph on 21's but I live in a relatively flat area (elevation min/max is 500-990ft according to...
  10. Insurance companies? Who are you using?

    I just went through getting quotes for home+auto just to see how the market is. I'm currently through State Farm and found that the independent insurers and credit unions were much better on the auto quotes (most used Citizens or Auto Owners) than State Farm but the home insurance was about 50%...
  11. Tesla Supercharging (NACS Charging) Now Available in Rivian App! Step By Step Instructions

    I believe that v1/v2 stations, while using the same plug style (not NACS), operate on a different comms protocol that is proprietary to Tesla. With the v3/v4 stations, Tesla moved to the same comms protocol as CCS1 and that's why NACS can work with CCS1/2. So until Tesla updates/modifies the...
  12. Tesla Supercharging (NACS Charging) Now Available in Rivian App! Step By Step Instructions

    That is app version 2.7.0, which is what you need to access those filters. Try force closing the app or restarting your phone. If you don't have app version 2.7.0 installed, try uninstalling it and re-installing it.
  13. Illinois to offer Rivian extra incentives for R2 production

    Electrek article captured the highlights from the AN report, but here's a non-paywalled link to the Automotive News article.
  14. A "Play by Play Illustrated Commentary" why R2 production would be challenging to retrofit into existing R1 or EDV line

    Good post. I think the comments on programming (robot and PLC) are a bit of a stretch as that is probably one of the easiest things to implement. I don't have experience with the Kuka robots that they have, but with the Fanuc ones those can be programmed offline with CAD models put in place...
  15. R2 confirmed for UK / Europe market

    "I did my own research"
  16. R2 confirmed for UK / Europe market

    You sound extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Good luck in your endeavors.
  17. R2 confirmed for UK / Europe market

    The hybrid Maverick isn't. At least lined up with my R1T it was about the same.
  18. R2 confirmed for UK / Europe market

    I keep seeing people mention an R2T and Maverick in the same sentence and it confuses me. The R1T is already the size of a Maverick, at least my buddy's Maverick (Hybrid). Several coworkers have Tacoma's and Colorado's which are physically a bit larger. Mavericks aren't well represented in my...
  19. Trouble in the snow with my QM R1T Adventure

    QM 21" @ 3/32" tread have been great in the snow for me. It's when the slush is 4-5" deep while going 70mph that there's a problem. Oh and ice, but that's a rarity here if anything is open (except work, they never close...) when there's a layer of ice. But even then, snow mode has really helped...
  20. Am I missing something... are people uneducated about EVs and won over by free charging?

    Maybe I interpreted OP's original post differently than some. I understand the question and I think there's a lot going on so it's tough to gauge. Most people will charge where their in vehicle navigation shows that they can charge. They likely have never heard of Plug Share or ABRP. A lot of...
