Tire rotation every 5,000 miles for me as I would like the tires to last as long as possible or at least until there are options for the 21" Pirellis. Discount Tire which is now a Rivian partner will do the rotation for free, pretty easy. I had a Tesla for 3 years prior to the R1T and the only...
I spoke to Rivian service this morning regarding a minor issue and asked about my tonneau cover ticket, he said my ticket is still open and I will get a call eventually to get it replaced as he said the fix is to replace all the powered covers with the new design. He could not give me a time...
Glad to read some positive comments VS complaints, I've had my R1T for 1.4 years with similar mileage and no complaints or issues, even my power tonneau cover is still working albeit barely.

I remember when I had my Tesla they programed it so the vehicle would give you a festive concert with lights coordinated to the music, it was very original and very impressive. I wonder if Tesla still does that?
Glad to hear the 21" performed well for you, I opted for the 21" over the 20"AT as I was planning to do some off roading in Arizona but 90% of my driving would be on road. These tires have performed well off road (not heavy rock crawling) and excellent on road.
Unions had their place a hundred years ago, today they can most certainty be a detriment. Take the teachers union in Chicago, they got one of their own elected mayor and he will negotiate the contract with them in 2024, how will that turn out for tax payers in an already highly taxed state? In...

I was driving down the 101 in Scottsdale AZ and I looked to my left and a CT with CA plates pulled up next to me, it was unmistakable, also a pretty gal in the passenger seat was smiling at me (or probably my R1T) and then said something to the driver and he floored it and took off. It was...
I had an excellent experience at DT in Scottsdale rotating my 21" tires at 5000 miles. I only knew about DT partnering with Rivian after calling Rivian to schedule a mobile visit to rotate and the Rivian advisor told me if I have a DT close by to use them which I did, $40 to check and balance...
I have a scratch on driver side gear tunnel door, it looks like paint is ok just the PPF slightly peeled. Rivian recommended a body shop that is Rivian certified and not very close. They basically said the shop can order a precut PPF, peel the old one off and apply the new one. I have not...
The Discount Tire in Scottsdale charged me $40 to check and balance if needed all 4 tires, tire rotation was free. They are Rivian authorized and had all the necessary tools and info to work on Rivians. They do not take the tires off the rims and they put the tire on a machine that spun the...
FYI if you have a Discount Tire store close to you they partnered with Rivian and will do a tire rotation plus a balance for $40. I did not check to see how they rotated the tires but they said 3 wheels were slightly off and they performed a rebalance.
