Well... all my other cars never had a frunk... and every manual lift gate I've ever had has come down on my head in cold weather.. so their is that... I have a brand new explorer as my take home work vehicle and not having an automatic lift gate for the hatch is a major pita when I have my...

I'm lazy... did any of the vehicles on display have the screen for the rear seats on the back of the center console? The te,st vehicle I got to ride in yesterday did not. It also did not have 12v power at the back of the console like the R1. Only USB-C connectors I saw were on the back of...

If you are like me... when the oportunity comes up where you need a flashlight and you can't find one, you turn to your phone. About 30 minutes later, you will remember the torch in the door.

Tell me about it... Huge moving pano roof in my F150 decided to abort the lifting tracks, because it was stuck in place from non use. Dealer wants $4500 to replace the complete track system. $150 in parts from an aftermarket supplier and a few good youtube videos and I was thankfully back in...

Those are kinda weird at first. I had a chance to ride in an R2 yesterday and I could see them functioning as objects and parts of the road went from illuminated to dark as we drove along. I will probably get used to it, but it did add a slight distraction as we drove a long. It seemed like a...

He did pull the fireman's switch, which I believe is required. His already had the "replace 12V battery" message , which cannot be cleared without connecting to a Rivian Service computer. I'm not sure if you will get a 12v battery warning light (OTC) if you replace the 12V batteries before you...

Up until yesterday I had never seen an R2 in person... but got a chance when my neighbor brought home a test vehicle yesterday. I went straight to the frunk and was surprised how easy it was to operate. It opens the same as our R1 with small button under the lightbar. It has the gas operated...

Just helped my neighbor replace his 9/22 OEM rivian batteries in the driveway. Took about 30-45 minutes, but can confirm he needed to plug in his work computer to clear the OTC error code. He had the same "replace battery" warning light as Mark. We talked about the Ohmmu batteries and even as...

You will love the Toyo's....

Yeah... being in junior high watching girls on trampolines was wild.....

I will say that my neighbor (Rivian Engineer guy) believes the R2's LIDAR is far enough in development, that he intends on waiting for it before he takes delivery of an R2. That's good enough for me to wait out a little longer. 900V architecture is probably not too far behind that.

So we had to listen to 10 minutes of the Man Show guy.. for a 1 second reference.... pass...

Really... You are comparing a Rivian R1S to an AMC Pacer...... C'mon.... Even Wayne and Garth appreciate the upgrade...

I was going to walk across the street to my neighbors and find out how to take it out, but it looks like you figured it out. He has a Rivian test vehicle we could practice on ;) Now we need a file. I have 4 printers, but no 3d scanner and drawing it may take a little longer than I want to...

I'll agree with you, that the Rivian 2nd row is not the easiest to get in to and the third is even worse. But... I'm happy with the shorter wheel base. Not everyone needs a land yacht, like the endless Suburbans, Expeditions and EXT Escalades rolling around. Plus, being able to fit the R1S...

On a 120V, you do not have to change anything. It will automatically charge at 12amps.

He's calling REV 2 test vehicles the camo wrapped vehicles that were being tested out in public for hot / cold climate testing. He just left yesterday to help bring back some test vehicles, that he hopes will be converted to employee take home vehicles... Besides testing, he really hasn't had...

They have been selling Rivians since 2022 and the values haven't fallen off a cliff like everyone predicted. They are still desirable and the new R2's lower price will help them get into the hands of more drivers. I use the real world indicator, which means I base how desirable a car is, by...

Another confirmation from a test engineer at Rivian (my neighbor). As of the Rev. 2 test vehicles they have been testing, the R1 crossbars do not fit the mounting pattern and will not physically go on. They tried them, thinking they would fit and it was a no go. He has no clue why they would...

I just realized you are talking about the R1S rear hatch. I checked mine and it is coming lose in the center. It appears it was attached using 3M heavy duty double sided tape from the factory. Ill most likely reply using the same tape or use the 3M weather strip adhesive.
