  1. What’s your “can’t live without it” Rivian accessory?

    Which Rock Sliders? (I want some as well) I've also heard Rivian doesn't like them installed? they remove them etc (confirm or deny) its confusing
  2. How big of a deal is “clunking” as R1S dual motors engage/disengage?

    For me it only happens when I am using cruise control and I use the speed controls to accelerate after lets say using CC through a construction zone for miles, upon leaving I ramp it up to 75 from 35. I hear the clunk. It was shocking the first time I heard it.
  3. So at what mileage did everyone ditch these 20" inch Pirellis?

    The best thing I ever did on my LR4 was switch to Nitto Ridge Grapplers. I plan on using Nitto if possible when these OG tires need to be replaced.
  4. What’s your “can’t live without it” Rivian accessory?

    For me? Matte Screen Protectors that don't allow glare or fingerprints. So nice.
  5. Rivian R2 vs Ford Mach-E

    I'd say its closer to a large hatchback.
  6. Rivian R2 vs Ford Mach-E

    You can leave the car on and lock the doors. Its just not an official setting.
  7. What is your "minor wish?"

    I dropped my version down to 1.5 on android and everything on both my MachE and R1S work fantastic now (pixel 9).
  8. Received the call from Rivian Service - Urgent Notice from Rivian: Action required for your R1.

    A bad batch that swell and crack open because of the new bracket design under the passenger seat.
  9. Not sure if I should laugh or cry at this point.

    You just described every service center.
  10. Rivians in hot weather -- experience / tips?

    I drove for 2300 miles and about 15-17 hours at a time in 97-103+ weather. The temperature never dropped below 93f while driving. It was really warm. Summary: Everything was fantastic. I'm saying this after having a horrific start to my ownership experience. RIVIAN has fixed all the issues...
  11. 2025.26 Update Release Notes

    I was getting a clunk when using Cruise Control and manually speeding up with the right button, i'd get a clunk as the acceleration progressed. I assume thats the rear motor engaging awkwardly?
  12. Rivian's Excellent Response to 1st Gen R1S Lemon - CA

    It is also great you are in a Lemon / Consumer Rights friendly state. It puts a huge finger on a balance when companies need to do the right thing.
  13. Windshield & Sunroof Protection Film - DIY Pre-Cut / UV + IR Blocking (TWRAPS)

    Pro Tip: For those in the 4 seasons weather areas, DO NOT use ICE scrapers. It will end your relationship with the windshield protection film. Windshield film generally last about 12-14 months regardless. If you drive on a highway especially west of Central time zone. It is a good investment...
  14. Uh-oh. Long time parked has zero power…

    My Mach E lost exactly 1% after 5 weeks sitting outside in 100f + weather while I was in Europe.
  15. Wife wants me to Initiate Lemon / BuyBack on our Gen 2 R1S Dual Max - She is probably not wrong. Looking for options / /reasons to do it or not to.

    You can do what is called a "Cash and Keep". What is this? Essentially NO BUYBACK. But.... The auto maker has to pay you for your time lost expenses etc. So what this is and what happens is your lawyer and RIVIAN will negotiate and accept a fee they will pay you for your inconvenience...
  16. Weird Maps Behavior - Taking me a Longer Route

    My planned trip to TN from Denver is 4 hours longer using the RIVIAN maps. ABRP and PLUGShare have it at 17 driving 20 with charging stops. RIVIAN 24.6 hours. I would love to see how the new mas calculate it, but i've not received the update yet.
  17. Wife wants me to Initiate Lemon / BuyBack on our Gen 2 R1S Dual Max - She is probably not wrong. Looking for options / /reasons to do it or not to.

    RIVIAN had it in for service, I received it.... then returned it next day. They performed the 4th alignment.....it worked! OMG...I have a car that drives straight. Tailgate fixed, new problem was heavy rattle from 12v replacement, They went in there and fixed that. Denver Service center did a...
  18. 2025.22 Update - Official Release Notes (Now With Google Maps Navigation)

    Does this mean if my brake regeneration turns off due to high state of charge when towing, that maps won't keep getting shut off to tell me to use the brake assist wheel....every 30 seconds.? Towing and the onboard map system is a mess.
  19. Non-RIVIAN shops (chains) that perform alignment? - who have you use with success? RIVIAN just can't get mine right

    Even with no hands on the wheel it drifts. The RIVIAN steering wheel doesn't have a clock mechanism like older mechanical autos (I asked last time). It is the steering control module with a single point of attachment for the wheel (no fine entry adjustements). It only attaches the one way...
