Why would you hope “there is somenwaybtinfet No. The Federally funded incentives are ending, not changing qualifications….so there is no “work around” other than to make your purchase and take delivery before the end date or hope that either Rivian or individual States offer programs or...

You have to actively engage it. If you don't like it, don't turn it on....it's pretty simple

Yes, because (particularly on Gen1) it is "driver assistance" comprised of "lane keep ASSIST" and adaptive cruise control. IT IS NOT AUTOMATED SELF - DRIVING

Really glad that nobody was hurt but with repair costs being what they are....your insurance company will probably consider that "totaled" (based on cost to repair as a percentage of estimated current value)...

This!! And if this doesn't fix it, Op should suggest to Rivian that they are likely within the MA Lemon Law period and will make a claim and force a buy-back if they can't fix it. The Chelsea, MA service center is excellent (IMO). OP should be able to get a tech to come for a quick ride with...

It's because that's the way it is officially described by Rivian in the owners manual and elsewhere, whether technically right or wrong...

There is a risk assessment for anyone buying the 1st generation vehicle and particularly from a brand new company (which Rivian was at the time). This should include distance/convenience related to service center locations….

Expect ~ 2% per day (24 hours) with GG on, maybe a little less with it off (if it's secured in your own garage). You will loose more if you mess with the app and "wake" the vehicle often. I believe there is a "shipping" setting which should preserve the state of charge a little better and...

Why not take advantage of the lemon law buy back and then get a new lease. They have some great deals right now and you may end up with a better deal than you did initially. It sucks that you had a bad experience but the overwhelming majority of owners do not have this same experience ….every...

You are a little too early. Rivian has not announced options or made a configurator available for the R2 yet so nobody can answer your question(s) aside from stating what they hope for

Don't remove it because you'll probably be inundated with reminders and alerts that you don't want. Just go into the truck and turn of "proximity lock and unlock" (you can even specify if you only want to turn it off for the phone but not the fob), so you still have the app available as a...

Regardless of what you want or what they tell you (even if it's a company representative), if it's not in writing, then it isn't real and cannot be relied on.....that's how contracts work. Be careful.

The truck only trickle charges the speaker to keep it topped off. The initial charge has to be from an outlet, and again if you use/drain it.

In practice it does not (at least mine doesn't). Regardless, you shouldn't be using it in traffic at slow speed anyway....thats not what it's for.....but drive how you want....it's your prerogative.

The only thing I'll disagree with (as a Gen 1 R1T owner for 2.5 years so far), is that Rivian did not lie to you (or anyone about ADAS). Until fairly recently, Rivian explicitly stated that the Gen1 vehicles would have adaptive cruise and lane keep assist, and that they were not pursuing more...

taxes and fees were $6509 but how much did you put down or get for a trade in that reduced the price off the top?

The only reason this makes sense is if you wouldn't otherwise qualify for the $7500 tax credit. You probably need to do the buyout after 1-2 months because that's how long it takes for Chase to set up the new lease account (ie you wouldn't likely be able to accomplish it the same week).

Also consider that the estimated depreciation is going to be greater in total over 36 mos than in 24 mos (which affects the residual value). The lease money factor isn't going to vary very much generally from a 2 or 3 year contract and the lease payment formula is simply (PRICE - RESIDUAL...

Charge as needed works, so long as your daily driving isn't too many miles. This approach is more difficult if you live somewhere that gets real cold during the winter (for several reasons). It's generally not easy IMO (and doesn't really save money) to drive an EV if you don't have the...
