  1. Terrible Gen2 Stereo / Audio?

    there is no break in period for speakers. this is a fallacy told by sales people. I spent 20 years installing high end and very loud car audio systems.
  2. Specific height, measurement if possible?

    The Scout is similar in size to the R1S. The R2 is reported to be smaller than the R1
  3. Gen 2 R1S Owners

    oh good, I can buy $5k worth of wheels and tires and have a less crappy ride, yay me…
  4. Gen 2 R1S Owners

    My R1S is on 22” rubber bands. No way this thing has any real off road chance. ETA - I didn’t buy the R1S to rock crawl, or drive fire roads at 50mph. That's what my truck is for.
  5. Multi-factor auth

    Professional car thieves will just tow your R1, put it in a shipping container and sell the parts while overseas. So much for MFA.
  6. Gen 2 R1S Owners

    Gen2 R1S here. Same issues you mentioned. Delivered with poor alignment and steering wheel not centered - SC addressed these 1 month later (best appt I could get). Compared to my Audi eTron the R1S: Wind noise is much louder Blower motor is so loud it’s sounds like a truck idling outside my...
  7. California's ban on ICE vehicles has been blocked

    can you afford either? can you license either for you to operate? if not, then you’re just presenting a fallacious argument. While I might be able to afford a Lamborghini, Ferrari, or most other exotic cars, and I can get it licensed and insured, I choose not to not because it’s irrational to...
  8. California's ban on ICE vehicles has been blocked

    you are wrong about CARB. They are not elected, they are appointed. You clearly have an irrational fear of emissions and to suggest others have to bend to your wishes and desires is truly a sociopath mindset.
  9. California's ban on ICE vehicles has been blocked

    To all of you that think it’s ok for CA to mandate all new cars after 2035 must be an EV have not been paying attention to how CA enforces CARB laws. Here’s how they will force older ICE cars off the roads. First they will change the emissions standards and squeeze out the older vehicles with...
  10. Multi-factor auth

    How did we ever survive without MFA? I guess they just solved the issue when your kids try to steal the keys to your car. /s How many people here have actually had their car stolen? Now how many here have had a phone stolen?
  11. My 2025 R1T Was Bought Back — Sharing My Experience with Rivian Service, Quality Issues, and Lack of Goodwill

    Yea, my long winded whiny complaint about my Rivian spending 3 weeks in service and not all items addressed. I guess I should just shut up and accept crap service and a broken vehicle, you know, to be objective.
  12. My 2025 R1T Was Bought Back — Sharing My Experience with Rivian Service, Quality Issues, and Lack of Goodwill

    Or you’re a dedicated fanboy like you and Donald who find no wrong can be attributed to Rivian… Pretty clear who’s not the objective type in this forum (FYI, it’s you). Just saying…
  13. 2025.18 Update Release Notes

    MFA today, a phone call tomorrow. Me “Hi, can you let me drive my car please?” Support “Sure, first I need to verify who you are” 20 mins later… Support “Sorry, I’m unable to assist right now… “our system is down” or “you have unpaid parking tickets” or “your insurance payment is late” or...
  14. Cruise control systems!!!

    Gen1 or 2? I find the Gen2 drive assist plus to be very good. However, it doesn’t function on unmapped roads and reverts back to hands on the wheel assisted cruise.
  15. R1S won’t let me unplug from the charger.

    The session was done so I wasn’t presented with a stop charging option on either.
  16. I built a ‘fueling station’ with 10- 400 watt panels, eg4 6000xp, and eg4 14kw battery

    I’m no billionaire and I got the credit. I didn’t qualify for the Rivian tax credit so we had to lease to get it.
  17. I built a ‘fueling station’ with 10- 400 watt panels, eg4 6000xp, and eg4 14kw battery

    You need to shop around more. 12kW(30 panels), sunlight backup (no battery), a nema50 socket with 6ga wiring (80A max hard wire option), and a new 200/220 panel with all the permits cost me $46k before the 30% tax incentives. ~$33k out of pocket. I’m using Enphase inverters and 400W Qcell...
  18. R1S won’t let me unplug from the charger.

    So I took a break after getting really frustrated. Came back 10 mins later, unlocked the S and was able to disconnect the charger. I have no idea why it wouldn’t work the first 7 times… but 8 was the magic number today.
  19. R1S won’t let me unplug from the charger.

    Can’t unplug from the charger. Tried lock and unlock multiple times. Tried to turn on the car. Says I’m plugged in (no s Sherlock) What else? Is there a pull cord?
