If you search on my name, you will find several of my postings including my most recent “positive news.” The problem is not the compressor for the heat pump. It was moved away from the firewall, down very close to the back side of the frunk, which reduced the size of the frunk slightly...

As an update, the vibrations return (although not at the same level) the harder the AC works. It’s definitely better, but, not at the same level of the BMW ix that I own and not as quiet as the R1T they had loaned me. My conclusion. There is a fix to lower the noise. There is not a fix to...

Good luck. I have personally sent thank you’s up the chain. It was/is a vastly different car this morning. My perspective which I think the SC mechanic basically confirmed, they have had no training on the Gen2 (they never actually received one before mine); the fan is a brand new design...

Well, I have POSITIVE news to share. After 3 1/2 weeks, my Gen2 R1S returned. They have repaired the vibration related to a series of parts in the front. The SC mechanic was incredible in so far as concluded it was not right, the vibration clear and the factory engineers pushed back. He...

My BMW ix has the same dynamic roof. It's an expensive joke on that car and more of a parlor trick to show people thar it can go slighlty white opaque and blur things out like people do on Zoom calls. Most of the time I have to press the button since I can't tell when looking up if it's...

The SC, as an update, has gone radio silent on me the last 2 days. Usually, daily alerts. Hoping that they are just preparing for bad weather trekking their way as opposed to they still can’t resolve. I’ve made a request to Regional management to cover first month’s lease payment. The...

I’ll report today that I am now at just under 3 weeks as well at the SC. A new replacement module for a fan component arrived late last week and should be installed today. But, I didn’t have the impression that the SC guy calling me thought it would really resolve the issue and with several...

Happy Monday. My latest report from the SC is that Rivian engineering wants to try a new fan up front to see if the fan is out of balance. Part ordered. To be replaced by Weds or Thursday (which will be 14 days). Unfortunately, SC indicated that the other Gen2s on the lot that they have...

My Gen2 R1S has been in the shop for 12 days (after driving for about 10). Richmond SC said that they have a few Gen2's on the lot and just received word from Rivian they can release. Mine, unknowingly, was the very first Gen2 and they are stuck on how to repair a significant issue--postings of...

Afternoon. Corporate told the SC to take off the front bumper and look for a loose steering column or heat pump resting on it. Yep, whole bumper and every plastic panel inside the frunk. No success. SC called and said they are working to move up the chain, but really have no idea what the...

Just an update. Day 8 in the shop. From the SC yesterday: “They (engineering) have not provided us next steps at this time. It appears as though, based on the information we requested, we’re looking for a loose connection in the low voltage system, that is speculation on my behalf….”...

Owner of a new Gen2 R1S that is broken in the shop if you've been follwing. I'll tell you that I came close to not buying the car due to the lack of CP. BMW ix has car play integrated into the car such that you can move the map into the center dash and all directions and turns come up in the...

I think you have to find at least the Regional Manager. I worked my way thru Linked In, job descriptions, territories and corporate engineering with e-mails to several and then was directed to the right person at Regional and supported by engineering. I was not an asshole and took the...

I took delivery 2 weeks ago this Thursday. By Monday, I reported the issue to Rivian and reached up the chain thru a contact. They arrived at my house basically 7 days after purchase by mobile, but, as I had reached upwards, they also sent a separate guy from the actual SC who came down with...

Going on a limb, I think you may start to see a slowdown on timing of Gen2s. As a ‘first’ Gen2, they are struggling to figure out a myriad of fault codes on mine and a heat pump/fan issue. From discussions with the SC, they are on the phone with engineering trying to figure out what to do. I...

Good morning. Just an update on my ride at the SC with several issues including the heat pump. The SC is ‘working with engineering’ at corporate. They are not able to resolve the issues at present and unclear whether software or hardware related. To their credit, they are updating me...

If someone could start a thread exclusively on Gen2: Issues and Updates, I think that would be helpful. This will be a shared experience of issues and how they have been resolved or not. Not a hate Rivian thread—just here is what we see, am I crazy or is it the car—how they have (or have...

Here is what I can now report. —Not one, but actually a second mobile guy came to my house—the second from the Richmond SC. —The AC system is sending a variety of fault codes that they cannot sort out and there is leaking. The system seems to think it is over heating. —They identified other...

I’ll validate the phone issue and also validate that the touch to unlocks on the door sensors are messed up. I’m not sure I want to try the reverse sensors…. The car also treated an ordinary concrete column in my office garage as something that it had to set the proximity alarm off and scared...

I’ve posted before on various issues with my 2025 R1S. I’ve come to the conclusion that my biggest issue is the new heat pump—the rest I will drop into the bucket of quirkiness and anticipated software updates over time. I do have inconsistent vampire drain. Some days, all good...
