  1. Rivian Smart Charging Arrives in Next OTA Software Update

    Meh...it makes something one can already do (if you even have "off-peak rates" available as an option) a little more automated. Doesn't seem overly useful. Still waiting on a simple PIN to drive, a reasonable valet/guest driver mode, and bug fixes (my HVAC never comes back on where it was left...
  2. Rivian Update 2025.34 Now Downloading! - Upgrades / Fixes to Expect

    I think reading this was with a dose of "wishful thinking". "Hands-free driving assistance" doesn't mean "auto pilot" or "self'driven"....again....more of an issue of managing reasonable expectations
  3. Rivian Update 2025.34 Now Downloading! - Upgrades / Fixes to Expect

    In fact, at that time (first 2 years if Gen 1) Rivian explicitly said they were not pursuing self driving….some people lack reading comprehension and are unable to manage their own expectations
  4. Key FOB not working? Warranty?

    Did you try replacing the key fob battery?
  5. Driving disabled. Service parking brake system

    It’s seems pretty self explanatory. Either your parking brake needs to be serviced, or your software had a hiccup. It’s a big computer…
  6. Rivian CCS to NACS adapter - any reason to get over A2Z?

    Not "believes".....they would have to prove you were using the unapproved adapter and that was the case of the damage. That said, it's not impossible that it becomes and issue for someone and everyone has their own risk tolerance.
  7. Rivian CCS to NACS adapter - any reason to get over A2Z?

    The only real reason is that Rivian specifically states they only endorse/support their specific adapter. That potentially causes you a big issue IF something bad happens at a supercharger when you are using the adapter AND they can prove that it's because you were not using the approved...
  8. Bad Leasing and Delivery Experience

    So you are mostly upset that you wanted to lease in a way that the lender wouldn't do it (Rivian is not in charge of the lease terms, the lender is), and they wouldn't simply disregard their rule-set to accommodate you? As for the "missing range", if you did any research at all on EVs generally...
  9. Started getting random system faults when using cruise control/driver assistance

    Have you bothered trying a full reset? Your truck is more of a big computer on wheels and software gets bogged down occasionally. Some owners even commit to a reset every (so often) to clear caches etc…
  10. R2 Battery Capacity / Range Options?

    This is because you are an educated EV driver….and is what people need to understand!
  11. R2 Battery Question From Rivian Noob

    If you just made your reservation you will probably have 1-2 years to watch for the battery options that end up being available…
  12. What About That R2 Sunroof?

    Maybe it’s not the right vehicle for you. You seem stuck on the point and determine to complain about it…so knowing there isn’t a choice for a metal roof or a manufacturer installed shade, …research the various 3rd party options or look for a different vehicle that fits your needs
  13. Canton MA Service and Demo Center...?

    What's the hold up?! The Chelsea service center has been claiming Canton would be open shortly since mid July.
  14. The one Rivian feature that never gets old for you?

    Climate control from the phone and monthly OTAs are both awesome. The Gear tunnel and frunk offer great storage. The flat out acceleration is awesome and often unexpected (by passengers and other nearby vehicles alike).
  15. 2026 BMW iX3 launches as R2 competitor

    Those big bucky beaver teeth?! WTF are the BMW designers thinking?
  16. "Rivian says yes to CarPlay" - is this for real?

    Yup. It’s just sloppy reporting and lack of competence to do the bare minimum research before publishing an article
  17. Is your charging randomly stopping?

    Be careful how much information you share with the SC. They will tell you that an A2Z adapter with a Tesla home charger is not “authorized” and potentially “violates your warranty”. If possible, find someone with a non-NACS charger that will let you charge or a public ac (slow charger) to test...
  18. Our nearly new R1S is suddenly a brick

    If that’s the issue; it’s a manufacturer issue. There is not likely (not impossible but really unlikely) anything you could have done in your relatively short time of ownership to damage the pack ….
  19. Air hose storage

    unpack unpacked once, then wrapped up as tightly as possible with a bungi - and thrown in the under seat storage compartment in the back.....
  20. Rivian towed my operable truck 5 hours away without telling me they would charge to bring it back

    With due respect and empathy, it seems like you caused your own problem by either not familiarizing yourself with Rivian's standing procedures, not asking questions and/or not reading the paperwork. It still sucks, and we can disagree with Rivian's postion....but it's on you for not being...
