  1. Suspension Squeaking - Is This Normal? [Video Clip]

    Yes, exactly! Squeaking like the rigging of some old pirate ship. Really happy to hear that they are are working on a fix.
  2. Suspension Squeaking - Is This Normal? [Video Clip]

    Bummer, but thanks for confirming. I've read lots of threads with people complaining about squeaks/ticks/tocks/etc. and I wanted to establish a baseline for "normal." It definitely sounds louder in person than is captured on this video - I feel like the higher registers of the...
  3. Suspension Squeaking - Is This Normal? [Video Clip]

    I hear this noise pretty much all the time driving over Chicago city streets (lots of rough pavement). I’ve got a service ticket in. What do you all think - is this just the sound the suspension makes?
  4. Valet parking a Rivian. Best practices? Which key to give valet?

    The garage that I park in each night is valet. I gave them the keycard. Big mistake - there are scratches/swirls all over the driver's side door after a week. Best I can tell, they're slapping the card at random spots on the driver's side door and then rubbing it around until the car unlocks...
  5. How has the 2023.34.0 Update changed the ride of your Rivian? [Vote in poll]

    R1S with 21” wheels. Chicago city roads are terrible. Before this update my teeth were rattling around in my head for most of every drive. The tiniest bump would have the car shaking from side to side. So much better after the update. At least on the roads I drive at the speed I drive.
  6. Rental Parking For Rivian --- Valet-Only Garage?

    To the extent this info is helpful for anyone else similarly situated (living in a dense urban area without a dedicated garage/charger), I just want to report that (at least so far) things are working out pretty well. I took delivery last week and am parking at a valet garage about a block...
  7. Rate the Rivian specific music streaming services....

    I use Roon for music at home and a result have been using Tidal for a couple of years. I find the Rivian interface for Tidal pretty intuitive and the sound quality more than good enough for driving purposes.
  8. 21" Road Wheel Center Caps Available!

    Reviving this old thread because I just got a set of these and two of them are all scratched up. For those that have them, has the silver coating on the front been durable or does it have a bunch of scratches from normal driving/wear and tear? If the latter, I'll just install these. If the...
  9. Chicago Rivian Enthusiasts

    I'm in the Gold Coast. I've seen a Launch Green R1S parked in that neighborhood (and dropping a kid off at Latin). I've seen a Glacier White and a Forest Green in Streeterville. Saw a blue one in the Loop. And I work about 1.5 miles from the service center and have seen the full rainbow out...
  10. Costco Connect insurance, are you willing to risk it?

    TL;DR: I share lots of the reservations expressed here, but I took the plunge (in large part because my circumstances give me limited options). I haven’t owned a car in 20 years, but find I need one now that I have kids. Rivian/Nationwide won’t insure me because I haven’t had coverage for so...
  11. Rental Parking For Rivian --- Valet-Only Garage?

    Thanks for the feeback; that all makes sense. After investigating a bunch of garages in my neighborhood (which has lots of high-rises and hotels), most of them don't have charging. The ones that do will not let you plug-in full time (even 120V). The "best" options are private garages that...
  12. Chicago Rivian Enthusiasts

    Got my invite to the "soft opening" just now and registered. I'm taking delivery of my R1S that afternoon (and I live about 4 blocks aways) so it's going to be a big Rivian day for me.
  13. August delivery updates are in! What is your new estimated delivery window?

    7/21 R1S preorder, was Aug-Sep as of the last delivery update. The day before this latest batch of updates went out I got the email to start the purchase process. I live about 4 miles away from the service center (Chicago). To the extent anyone finds it helpful, here's the timeline: Aug 11 -...
  14. August delivery updates are in! What is your new estimated delivery window?

    I’ve seen nothing to indicate that shop access has any impact on your delivery window. I was granted access without asking for it; it went away as soon as I was assigned a VIN.
  15. Learn More about Trading In, Financing, Insurance e-mail...

    I got the “Learn More About Trade-Ins …” email on Aug 20 and received the “It’s time to begin the purchase process” email two days later (Aug 22).
  16. latest VIN for R1S

    Got the email to start the purchase process yesterday. VIN 19,1xx.
  17. R1S Shop access live with lots of inventory!

    Looking at the shop inventory today I noticed that where it used to say "Delivery in 1-8 weeks" it now says "Delivery in 1-6 weeks."
  18. Chicago Rivian Enthusiasts

    Just logged into my account today and noticed I had access to the shop. Sort of strange that they don't send you an email or anything. There is a crazy amount of inventory ...
  19. New Chicago Rivian Showroom in Gold Coast

    Exciting! This is just a few blocks from where I live. This space has been vacant forever. Not where I would have expected Rivian to set up a showroom, but the location makes sense. This area is directly adjacent to all of the luxury shops on Oak St and you’ve got lots of foot traffic from...
  20. Chicago Rivian Enthusiasts

    I’m in Chicago with a 6/2021 R1S preorder and have the same delivery window. Either of you have a guide assigned yet? Tried to get access to the Shop?
