  1. Big day for Rivian at the local garden center today.

    Ignore the random people who got caught in the shot. I went to get some plants with the wife and just had to park where I did.
  2. Wife's first real drive in the R1

    So I've had my R1 since September, but my wife has only ever moved it from one spot to another in a parking lot. She drove it today because we are trading in her car next year and I want her to consider an R1S as one of the cars. What better way to get an idea if you want a Rivian than to drive...
  3. R1S vs BMW iX vs Mercedes EQS

    Okay so next year will be 3 years on our '21 Audi SQ5 Sportback prestige which means it's gotta go. I mean it doesn't HAVE to, but we usually trade cars every 3ish years. My R1T has won me over to BEV's. EVs are cheaper to run, the instant torque is really nice and since I have a place to...
  4. Who has used a valet?

    I have a trip coming up in a couple months and I’m a little paranoid that the valet is going to Ferris Bueller my truck. Do you think I should put it in snow mode and hope for the best, or take my wife’s Audi S car with a proper valet lock through the app?
  5. Sport Mode 2.0 is much more responsive after 2022.47.0 software update!

    Is it just me or has this latest update made sport mode much more responsive? Previously you had to get pretty deep into the second half of the pedal to feel it and now you can get into the speed pretty easily. It is much nastier now. I love it, my passengers may not.
  6. Preventing water droplets on exterior cameras?

    The rearview and other exterior cameras seem to hold water droplets pretty easily. When it rains those cameras become more or less useless. Has anyone put a hood over them/ a coating on them to repel water and dirt?
  7. Questions by the total overland newbie.

    Are there any classes on how to overland? With this level of gear and setup it’s looking like you can get a pretty trick setup for something like an R1T with a full kitchen, comfortable accommodation and even rudimentary toilet facilities which would help sell the wife. The major thing...
  8. Rivian title / license plate update

    I know there are a ton of posts on here about how long it's taken to get the title and license plate. I just wanted to report my time because positive experiences don't really get their own thread. I submitted all the required paperwork when I first got the truck, and made sure my insurance...
  9. Changes to the Rivian app?

    I've noticed some changes to my Rivian app and I'm wondering if I was just asleep at the wheel or it's something new. Now I the app I can set my charge level while charging, and I can change gear guard settings right from the app. Turning it on and off.
  10. Happy Halloween/ Fanboy status confirmed.

    I was carving pumpkins with my family today. Can anyone guess what mine is supposed to be?
  11. 2200 lbs Trailer R1T Towing Report

    Got my T hooked up to my trailer that's been sitting for the past year as I've had nothing to tow it with. I've now towed this trailer with 3 different vehicles, A 2015 Ram ecodiesel, a 2020 Ford Explorer ST and the T. It's a 7x16' dual axle enclosed trailer so not the biggest thing out there...
  12. Gary needs to step up his game.

    Someone threw a McDonalds ranch dipping sauce packet all over my truck today. Gear guard didn’t catch the culprit. Although it’s probably a good thing because I wouldn’t have been very happy with who did it.
  13. Another great customer service story

    My personal experiences with customer service have all been really great. I've had a few issues with my truck but Rivian has always been really responsive. It's been easy to be on good terms with them. With that all said look what was delivered to my house the other day. The water bottles...
  14. Transport protection question

    I'm about 4 hours away from the service center and they are picking up my truck next Friday to fix some damage from my delivery. My truck is being detailed as we speak, and when my truck was originally delivered it had tons of bugs and whatnot. I want to protect it for the flatbed ride back...
  15. People's Launch reactions

    I thought it would be fun to catalog the reactions that you've seen with passengers or people you've let drive and launch your R1. So far I've had two "holy shit", two weeeees like a roller coaster, and one "Holy shit, I thought we just got rear ended". Also I made my wife do the slow loris...
  16. First day with R1T / First day with an EV -- my owner impressions

    I would like to start by giving a little background on myself and my vehicle experiences in the past to give you all a decent idea as to where I'm coming from. As my title says this is my first time even touching a Rivian and my first time driving any EV at all. However, I have driven quite a...
  17. The adventure started early... my truck threw a rear drive unit code

    Was supposed to take delivery of my R1T today, got a text from the service center that my truck threw a rear drive unit code so they won't be delivering today. On one hand I'm grateful they caught it before delivering it and the other I'm disappointed obviously. Hopefully it's something simple...
  18. Ford recall 50K BEV's due to defective batteries.

    Ford Motor Co. is recalling nearly 50,000 Mustang Mach-Es and telling dealers to pause deliveries of the all-electric crossover due to a safety defect that could result in Pub Info power loss. The Dearborn automaker has filed a recall notice with the National Highway Traffic Safety...
  19. Positive Rivian thread on the 8 steps

    I think we could all use a positive thread on here as lots of them are negative or have negative tones. Today I paid for my truck after scheduling my delivery for next week. I have bought many vehicles, and this one was by far the easiest to purchase. I filled in all the stuff on line...
