Had a lot of fun doing this one. Spoiler: A lot of meaningful changes in Gen2 that will both help Rivian and make new R1S owners more satisfied with the product.
I had a lot of fun making this one. Road trip exclusively via the Tesla supercharger network. It was an excellent experience.
I also ran into a guy that was trying to use a level two Tesla adapter to charge with the superchargers ?. He was a nice guy though and I didn't record that cuz I'm...
The AC compressor on Gen 1 is noisy and that is normal. What is not normal is the heavy vibration or rattling. In my case, it only happened when ambient temps were above 85F and the inside of the vehicle was very hot.
I had another R1 vehicle that did not have the rattling or heavy vibration...
Anyone else notice their bed lights loose or noisy on their R1T? I was washing my truck and I took the bed mat out. Was doing some cleaning and I noticed the driver side bed lights making a lot of noise.
This started out as a video, however my daughter was sick for most of the road trip so the video was not meant to be. Instead, we have a blog post. This article is mostly about Tesla charging but something I don't mention is just how easy this road trip was because of Tesla charging.

Greetings group. I created a comprehensive delivery checklist for Rivian R1S & R1T deliveries. I welcome all feedback good/bad to help make this the most comprehensive list available to the community.
I created this list to help new Rivian owners avoid disappointment or a bad ownership...

1) will Rivian get Member pricing?
2) If not, how would it work to sign up for the Tesla membership?
The membership gives the same pricing...
Greetings all, I replied to the other threads and thought my issue would be a fairly straight forward fix. It appears its not, so here goes. My wife drives the R1S so I am not in the car daily.
Had service appointment for 2/19 after noticing the carpet was soaked with water while cleaning the...
All, I created a video showing how to protect privacy during Rivian ownership transfer after one purchases a used Rivian.
I have seen many folks complain about the previous owner of the vehicle being able to see location and send commands to the vehicle.
My video shows how to disable that...
All, I watch the Rivian activity on C&B daily to try and keep an eye on what things are going for. This example, launch green with BM interior, sold for $66,000. It did have 19k on the clock and a ding but otherwise looks good. Effective price after buyers fee $68,970. I didn't expect this...
A look at the RAN chargers in Maryland. The Belcamp charger was recently completed. Sadly neither charger has a pull through stall for vehicles that are towing.
Both chargers worked well with the first session a little slow bc I didn't precondition.
Started this morning. Will post video soon.
Faint burning plastic smell from vents, rattling sound coming from behind main display, cannot hear it outside the vehicle. For about 5 minutes displayed a System Fault and said to schedule service.
Performed a hard reset and still the same...
