Gen 2–
—My vehicle has lost 12 miles since putting my car in the office garage 10 floors below at 9:30 AM. It’s not consistent though. I parked at the airport for 3 days, an it only lost 1 mile.
—AC is practically dead. Vibrations from Gen2 pump. Today, it would not cool down less than...
I have posted on the issue of the new heat pump for the Gen2 and the very loud noise and NVH in the floor boards and steering wheel. Filmed and sent out to a higher up contact at Rivian corporate who pushed my Gen2 to an earlier appointment. My Gen2 has about 150 miles on it.
Here is what I...
I completely agree with the author that started the thread. Phone goes dead or I leave it somewhere. Left my wallet at home to boot. For my BMW ix, also with proximity opening, I always keep the hard key in my backpack (and have needed it on a few occasions).
The good news—according to...
Hey gents,
I am 2 weeks into Gen2 R1S and have a BMW ix Xdrive 50 sitting next to it in the garage.
The Regional Manager at Rivian reached out to me today with particular questions on rhe NVH/vibrations from the heat pump. One can feel this under your feet, in the steering wheel and open the...
No seatbelts locked. Fortunately kids car seats are now a thing of the past until grandchildren. Car is 10 stories below me including 3 underground parking garage. I pulled into my office at 10:30, it’s now around 3:30, and it’s lost 4 miles. By my calculations, that’s approximately .8...
This morning I came into my garage at work with 216M left according to display. 4 hours later, it’s down to 202M. This is a Gen2. Not a good first week with my Rivian for us. The SC delivery person, again knowing to be an issue, advised setting my car in a certain away mode when parking...
Morning. My new Gen2 R1s arrived with a few gremlins.
--Mirrors will drop settings and literally both drop into downward dog. Requires a reset.
--New design heat pump is LOUD. Nothing like my BMW ix xdrive. Bad at startup, stop lights one can feel the vibration. What is odd is that...
Very noisy outside. BUT, you can feel the vibrations inside. Particularly in the steering wheel. I had a diesel Range Rover that was vastly quitier. If you open the frunk, you can really hear it and feel the vibrations. I’m staying cool as it’s 97 outside today. So, if it’s cooling...
Maybe they can figure out why my mirrors randomly drop facing down to the street and how to stop the noise and vibration from the new heat pump.
If you have seen my other posts on my new Gen2, I like the car—don’t yet love it. I’m not yet prepared to take it on a long road trip and I...
My biggest disappointment thus far on my new Gen2 relate to how loud and vibrating the new heat pump is. It's really unacceptable although am staying cool.
There are panel gaps. The rear tailight has 1x4" gap on one side, 1/8 on the other. The hood is easily 1/4 all around.
The doors...
New Gen2 R1S arrived Friday. How does one leave doors unlocked at a location othet than your home? If you have proximity sensor on your phone (again outside your home where I have it shut off) and you want to leave unlocked so folks can load or u load the car, how can you do that? If you...
Delivery person was very ambivalent on that Q. Only that it no longer comes with the car and the gear shop is not carrying right now. Further noting when they do it would need to be programmed.
I’m sharing some pictures of what they tell me is the first Gen2 delivered in our market in Raleigh, NC. This came from Richmond, VA.
I have some mixed impressions of the vehicle and will share after a day or so of settling in as a change in technology, even from my BMW ix Xdrive50, is...
Interesting thread as I am finally trying to decide. My order dates back to June of 2021 and after so many failed promises and an expired lease on another car, I (regrettably) purchased a BMW ix Xdrive 50. I only say regrettably because it was during mid-COVID and I paid full MSRP and the...
