No workarounds I'm aware of..... Bigger question is will they even successfully launch R2.
My guess is rivian will cut their workforce to where it needs to be.
Most of their experience centers or whatever you call them have non essential employees. Between a RIF and lower battery costs they'll...

No doubt I'd rather have the rivians driving dynamics/performance....but they've put together a solid full size offering!
It's a big enough jump in range that pulling my camper there's still a significant amount more juice. Could see 4 hours of driving still with my pop up which would be right on the money.
I love my rivian and hope they can catch up with the range and super cruise especially for towing when it's...
Is rivian going to bring to Gen3 or 2026 Gen2 refresh the range they promised when we put down our deposits for pre orders pre COVID?
Pretty impressed by what GM is offering... reviewers are actually 460m+ real world range. Dang!
I would pay that for a new pack if the alternative is 100k for new vehicle....at least if I think all the other systems are solid. But yeah if I'm paying 10k every year for a suspension/computer/motor issue then no ID rather just finance a new one I guess
Man I hope you're wrong! Would love to see this thing rack up that kind of adventure! I had the above experience with a land cruiser and am hoping for the same out of my R1T, but it sounds like I need to lower my expectations.
If I could repurpose the pack for home energy storage and slap a new...
Those vehicles don't seem very old to me.... Having to do battery swaps at 10 years? Or are most being swapped for the newer tech/range benefits? or are they salvage vehicles? How much is this costing now? I expect costs will go down in 5-10 years even further
Fair point. Just wondering how eco friendly Rivian can really be if there vehicles all end up at land fills because of repair costs/battery degradation.
I'm hoping mine proves to be a reliable work horse for a long time, but not getting vibes from the community that's a realistic expectation...
Seeing some promising tech in the battery space right now
CATL made some big announcements

Has rivian made any comments on swapping packs in the future? If my battery in 10 years has degraded 20% and new batteries go 2x the distance in same size package and battery costs have...
Yes! I've got a pair of Trek Rail EMTBs. I went with the kuat piston SRs. Bought them online and then ended up calling kuat to get the crossbar specific mounting brackets... probably wouldve been only a couple hundred more to order the rivian specific setup sold by rivian direct.....you would be...
1982 Hi-Lo. We redid the inside and have loved it the 5 or so years we've had it. Just took it to Tallulah gorge to watch the kayaking this weekend. 1.6-1.7mpkwh
I've had really terrible steering wheel shake with 21s and 20s. Road force Balance. Then road force balance and then make em do it again . I've stood over the shoulder of the guys at discount tire to re run em after they say they're perfect and sure enough the machine will come back with a new...
Anyone else's rear screen clock not work? Seems to only update if I unlock/relock it. Otherwise it's just handy to know what time I got in my vehicle.
Sorry if this is a repost. Love the truck and all it's quirks! At first this kind of stuff drove me mad, but now I focus on how much progress...
