It's time for Rivian to awaken and move on. This refusal to sell a simple bolt is pretty stupid on their part. They should be doing everything possible to keep simple repairs and adjustments out of the service centers. Brian

We went by the new RAN in Chipley on Wednesday and it was still wrapped up. We again went by there today. Low and behold, it was operational. We plugged Opal in for a test charge. It worked great. There are 5 units in the line plus one across the way set up for a vehicle with a trailer. This...

Thieves who put in a lot of labor to steal copper are most often idiots. The amount of money that they get from scrap copper is not worth the labor and risk involved. I really hate to see this as a highly functional EV charging infrastructure is a key ingredient in the proliferation of EV's...

We keep all three of our power plug adapters under the back seat in our R1T. Brian

Several days ago the 'tailgate open' warning on Opal's driver screen miraculously disappeared and the proximity warnings were back on-line. In other words, Opal was back to her normal self. It is curious that this occurred upon the onset of cold weather here in the Florida Panhandle. It will be...

We are very early adopters and two year owners of an R1T. This is our first EV. We have found the R1T to be an effective truck that is fun to drive. A pick-up truck is always a good thing to have. Brian

The way that the sign says 'Meet R2', you are almost expecting it to continue with 'D2'. Brian

Along this same line, only the person designated as the "owner" can access the vehicle's charging history. What kind of stupid crap it that? Brian

I just downloaded the 2.18 Android upgrade. Brian

DIY is a good idea. It's not for everyone, but there are some that could benefit from this approach. Rivian would also benefit from such a plan. When the R2 hits the street, Rivian better be ready with a better service system than the one currently in place. With VW using Rivian software...

Great pictures. Thank you for posting.

Nice truck. Best wishes. Brian

We have also looked at the GMC Sierra EV. We kind of prefer the front end look of the Chevrolet Silverado better, especially the Trail Boss which will be released soon. They aren't that heavy by our standards. Our 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Duramax weighs 8200# We made our Airstream...

I read the OP's manifesto with great interest. I am fairly new to the EV world, having had my R1T for almost two years. I love our dear Opal (our R1T). SuEllyn and I argue over who gets to drive her when we go out together. SuEllyn had placed her deposit on Opal on November 28th, 2018, pretty...

Regardless of Sandy's misstatements, RJ did an excellent job of presenting for Rivian and the EV movement. RJ actually is a real car guy and knows his product intimately. Probably, the only other car company CEO that you can say that about is Henry Ford. Brian

This good news for Rivian and all other manufacturing startups. Being a very early Rivian adopter, this also makes me feel good. Brian

Thank you guys for all this information. I will be sure to carefully watch the the mobile service technician when he comes to work on my tailgate latches. I will make note of the torque values for future use. I have torque wrenches of various torque values. I'm sure I can do this myself...

Where is this "actuator" located, and how is it accessed? Brian

This is apparently my problem also. I now have a mobile service appointment for February 12th. In the meantime, I am just driving her with the "red tailgate open" warning on the driver screen and the inactive warning alerts. Brian
