I get the OP's frustration until he said "back to Tesla" as if Tesla was any different in its early days. It wasn't. Even in ~ 2016 era with just the Model S and new X Tesla didn't have enough service centers. Anyone buying any new vehicle like early Tesla years, Rivian, Polestar, etc not near a...

The fact that the R1 models are expensive to repair is not important. The same was true for the Tesla S & X back in the day. Everyone buying a rare R1, S, X, etc should be wise enough to know this reality of start up automotive companies. Now, if the high production volume R2 is similarly very...

You can't conclude that Rivians are rear ended more than others based on frequency of forum posts here vs other car brand/model forums. There is very little interest in a Toyota Camry or Jeep Cherokee being rear ended because such accidents are so common and everyone knows the repair process...

Whether the efficiency based on time (regardless of speed, distance, elevation, etc) and the efficiency based on distance (regardless of speed, time, elevation, etc) "match" is a mathematical question, the answer to which you haven't provided enough data.

You're going 50 mph on a warm day. Probably a slight downgrade on the elevation. Also, remember that the Rivian graph is the last 15 minutes, not the last 15 miles. I've seen that high efficiency before in my Rivian. And, I always see a big improvement in efficiency as we get into Spring &...

@Eric_partman when you ran out of juice what does the Rivian do regarding visual and audible alarms? I've ran out of juice once in my previous Tesla Y and it was not a fun experience. Up until then, I often made a game of arriving to Superchargers at close to 0% as possible. I'd often go 2 to 7...

I love having early adopter cars and based on my household needs/finances am able to weather any negatives associated with low volume production vehicles (applicable to ICE vehicles too). Luckily I've had no serious issue with any of my 3 EV's since 2017 (Tesla 2x, Rivian 1x) (I've had a couple...

I recreated them this week and at first it worked, but after that first initial test it resorted back to the same symptom. What appears to be the failure point is that the Apple shortcut function has a set window of duration that it will wait for the app in question to return a task completion...

Has anyone else noticed that the normal Apple shortcuts no longer work? I get a time out message that the phone cannot control the vehicle. I have the R1S (gen1). I've previously created and used (via cellular connections; not bluetooth key) Apple shortcuts (on my phone & cellular enabled...

I like using the poor man's sport mode: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/r1s-dual-motor-any-harm-in-choosing-reduced-stability-for-kinda-sport-mode.28633/ Also, keep in mind that the quicker acceleration in Sport mode is only between 0-45mph. And the suspension lowers. When I had a...

Remember that your efficiency will suffer simply from the cold (even with an already warmed battery) because of the significantly increased wind resistance (air is denser when colder). This is of course more impactful the higher your speed and the increased resistance to speed is exponential...

Thanks to all those who contributed positive good comments (which I learned from). @Singletracker , one variable that can cause different results is the battery state of charge. Others made good points about preconditioning being primarily beneficial for maximizing range. Other than that...

It is well known that DC fast charging all the time (i.e., primary means of "fueling" your EV) degrades all manufacturer's batteries more in the long term. To minimize such degradation, many EV manufacturers will begin to limit the DC fast charge rate later in the vehicle's life (Tesla does...

It could be a one time glitch that's resolved. However, I had a possibly similar issue upon delivery and had to have a motor replaced (it's been fine since). If you really want to test it, turn off Gear Guard and let the car go to sleep (i.e., do not access it locally and do not open your app...

The "action button" would be something like a Siri shortcut which is separate from waak app and the Siri shortcut (just like Rivian App functions) requires both your device (phone/watch) and the vehicle to have an internet connection (typically cellular).

Agree with what others said. And, coming from a Y to a R1S myself the road tripping experience is different. In my Y, the Nav was always overly optimistic at start, would always be lowering my expected state of charge at arrival during the drive, and then often would suggest I slow down (below...

Great pics. I wish Chris Hilbert would get on Threads. I miss following him.

IMO if one is looking for near zero "problems" then it's best to stick with one of the high production volumes ICE vehicles from Honda or Toyota. They are pretty reliable and probably more importantly, any issue that does crop up can be resolved FAST and AFFORDABLY. There is no "issue" unique...

That is a very good point.

I'm pretty sure Samsung is the current supplier for R1T R1S. LG (USA mfg location) will be the supplier for R2. ?
