  1. REALLY hot HV battery on road trip

    Is it a Gen2 thing? I recall seeing a few of these in here but all were Gen2 Just finished a road trip upstate NY in our Gen1 R1S and DCFC at Tesla and RAN, and no issues with battery temps.
  2. DO NOT BUY THIS CAR IN A CITY

    Very simple, especially since you are in NYC. Buy a Fisker. I see tons of those Fisker with TLC plates.
  3. First ever DIY pre-cut Color PPF Wrap for R1S - 12hrs install time

    That color is fantastic. Probably as good as the stock Mazda blue. Hard to justify this on my lease though, but definitely interested in it once the lease ends and we get a R2 (or switch and get the next R1S)..
  4. 2026 Rivian VIN Decoders

    Change is the one constant. And of course there is no loyalty anywhere anymore. Even with Rivian.
  5. 2026 Rivian VIN Decoders

    Congrats on the order. How much is your insurance quote BTW? I switched from Geico to Nationwide - saved almost $800/year - when I got the R1S almost 1.5 years back. Bumped up my umbrella coverage but still saved compared to Geico.

  7. Rivian alignment only done through Rivian?

    I got it done at Discount tire (got 4 new tires), then at Rivian service center (after having to replace one wheel which was bent at a location beyond repair). Both did a decent job, although I felt Discount tire did a better job than Rivian service center in Trenton. Then I went for my 30,000...
  8. Has anyone used the CarPlay adapter from EV Sportline before?

    It is this one https://a.co/d/d0croXh unfortunately i see it's not available, however, you can find under similar products which do the same thing.
  9. How often do you charge to 100%

    Depending on the week. Commute is about 120 miles per day, so I charge once every 3 days to 100%. Made my peace with it.
  10. 2026 Rivian R1S / R1T Pricing Announced

    Really hoping for R2 to come out soon. And more importantly, it needs to be in good price bracket. There is no wiggle room sadly, based on how things are going, if Rivian is inflexible on pricing.
  11. Is Charging R1S Overnight Required or Optional?

    Personally, I would suggest to look up how far you from either L2 or L3/DCFC stations nearby. If you can get there fairly frequently, then charging should not be an issue. It WILL be a hassle, but should not be a deal breaker as long as you are able to slightly plan ahead. To give some more...
  12. Meet R2 in NYC June 3-7

    Couldn't make it as one of the kids wasn't feeling well. Hope someone else who made it can post pics, updates etc etc
  13. 2025.18 Software Update Overview / Review (Video)

    Anyone see this today? The update option is greyed out even though i have the fob with me in the vehicle (I'm a connect+ subscriber but don't think that matters)
  14. Meet R2 in NYC June 3-7

    I'm planning to visit with the family. Let's see if my wife likes the R2 (which she thinks she will, more than our R1S)... I'll post pictures and details after the visit.

    In case anyone missed it, got it confirmed few days back that there is a Service Center now in Woodbridge (Rt 1).
  17. 😱 Tesla Bull stock fund manager suggests Tesla should buy Rivian [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    While I agree with the statement, i also think the world will be a better place if we all learn to zoom out, try to listen and learn from everyone. This is what has been missing for the past few (many?) years in this country - or probably the world as a whole. Likewise, there will always be...
  18. R1S repair costs astronomical after a collision, Potential Buyers please do your due diligence

    Thank you for the PSA and sorry about the accident. DId you get any estimates from the body shop?
  19. [Removing Center Seat Section Project] - R1S 2nd Row Captains Chairs from Modified 60% Seat

    Right?! Kia / Hyundai was even in contention for us but gotta give them props for making captain's chairs available to customers in their EV9. At least Rivian could have had the top end trim (or large battery pack with perf upgrade for us Gen1 owners) with captain's chairs like what every...
