  1. Motortrend: We ran our Rivian to zero battery charge / range. What happened didn't go well.

    This should be a service that removes ICE and charger hogs at charging stations.
  2. Rivian is a "Commercial Vehicle" in CA? Any Benefits??

    In Massachusetts they give a $7500 rebate for EV commercial vehicles, but I believe it has to be registered in a business. Is yours registered in a business name? Looks like all trucks are commercial vehicles in CA...
  3. Need Advice - My R1S with 29 miles is a lemon

    Really sorry about all the issues with the vehicle. Didn't the 7 day start when you picked it up the second time? I would first ask tell them you don't want the car since it doesn't work. If they don't agree, say that you'll be filing a complaint with your state's attorney general and consumer...
  4. Camp speaker drawer replacement by TWRAPS (preview)

    Possible add slots in different positions for a divider. Maybe have a way to reuse the charge port for charging. Looking good.
  5. Rivian should merge with Lucid

    The company I see that could partner or buy Rivian is BMW. Rivian gives BMW a door to the adventure lifestyle market. Plus, once Georgia is up and running, they will increase their manufacturing capacity significantly. BMW already exports cars from the US, they could easily expand Rivian's...
  6. Anyone else seen this ridiculous review of why not to buy an R1S?

    The Model X has 15 cubic feet behind the third row and significantly less head room in the third row. He says small screen, I don't know how anyone can say the main screen is small. Only valid complaint maybe the infotainment, but everything else is as others pointed out AI generated or someone...
  7. R1S Shop access live with lots of inventory!

    The way they are ramping up production, I'd say yes.
  8. VW Slowing Down ID4/7 Production

    I see them everywhere in New England and on vacation in Europe. However, I'd get a EV6 or Ionic 5 before a ID4.
  9. R1S Shop access live with lots of inventory!

    Take a test drive and say you're flexible with your configuration. Keep on asking for access you'll get it s00n enough.
  10. First Rivian Charger in New England?

    I believe it is. Now that Tesla is opening up their chargers, I can't think of a place where a charger isn't accessible in New England. We have plenty of options for charging on most of the major routes and destinations. Only issue might be quantity of chargers in high demand locations.
  11. Just Got R1S Confirm Config - Estimated Oct-Dec Delievery

    If you know anyone near the Chelsea center, change your address to their's. Then ask for a first ride and then shop access through CS. After you get shop access and pick a ride, you can change your address back to your original one. It worked for me.
  12. Dallas R1S delivery June 20: “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.”

    That does seem a little more damage than I'd settle for. Maybe they can refinish them or I'd ask for a replacement of the damaged ones while the tires are still new.
  13. R1S Shop access live with lots of inventory!

    Best way to get access is schedule a test drive. My brother did it and got access within a week. He then requested access for me and I got mine the day after. I'd even see about test driving a R1T just to get in front of someone and so they know you're ready to purchase. We were Oct 21 orders...
  14. Anyone have luck getting a guide? Have R1S on order - guide doesnt reply to emails or text

    I think based on the current production rate, R1Ss won't be hard to get very soon. Remember, you're the consumer and don't lose fact of that. If the truck isn't to your liking, don't accept it. And this applies for anything you buy. Be patient and go through the truck to make sure you're...
  15. Anyone have luck getting a guide? Have R1S on order - guide doesnt reply to emails or text

    I got shop access last Thursday and it's already at the Rivian center. I'm not picking it up until July 8th because I'll be gone for two weeks starting Saturday and I didn't have time this week to pick it up. Wait until the delivery specialist calls you to delay your pick up because they are...
  16. Anyone have luck getting a guide? Have R1S on order - guide doesnt reply to emails or text

    How many days since you contacted them? It took mine about 4 days before I heard from them. If you've completed the steps without issue, they really don't contact you. Your car is probably at the center getting prepped for delivery.
  17. Lack of Crawl Control Off-roading Leads to Battle Scars

    Basically, the motors "stall" in these situations until a high amount of current is sent to the motors. Once the "stuck" situation is resolved and motors start spinning, the motors quickly overcome the resistance and transition to a low resistance scenario leading to the truck losing control. By...
  18. Lack of Crawl Control Off-roading Leads to Battle Scars

    They're working on it. Electric motors have a hard time with situations where the motor isn't moving and is "stuck". https://www.thedrive.com/news/rivian-patents-bolt-on-low-range-crawler-gearbox-for-off-road-evs
  19. I thought EV's were supposed to be quiet. @RJ ARE YOU HEARING THIS ****??? This car sounds like its gonna hit Mach 9 when you switch on the AC

    It might based on others saying the noise started after a software update. The compressors are muti-stage and depending on the load profile, the software might be running the compressors out of optimal operating parameters. The software probably doesn't have the correct data for the refrigerant...
  20. How Long Can I Delay the 8-Steps?

    I'm in the same boat. I just emailed my guide saying I won't be able to pick up the vehicle until after the first week of July. As much as I really want to take delivery, I don't want to lose my 7 day return period. If it goes while I'm away then it wasn't ment to be. As my friend says, they'll...
