Agree. While I really enjoy my R1T I also like the simplicity of my model Y. Have owned 4 Teslas in the family since 2015 no significant failures of any kind experienced. Just a standard interior and a hard ride.

Agree the Rivian was an off-road concept for die hard off roaders and campers. We took it to the next level and made it our daily family vehicle and it works great. I still look forward to driving it each day and mine is an early 22 build. Adding I have driven most pickups out there over the...

It’s fine sitting at full charge. It’s just recommended not to charge to 100% routinely. The battery will begin to discharge on its own through parasitic drain. Adding we have a heavy snow storm occurring and I am charging my T to 100% now just in case I need the inverter to run appliances if...

I recall where one or two Rivians have been damaged by third party lifts. I only allow mine to be lifted one side at a time for safety.

Fully agree, I only use the auto touchless bays where you stay in the vehicle too many really expensive glued parts on a Rivian that can be damaged by brushes , and I would never trust a car wash attendant to operate my vehicle

Wish the stock would rise to that level but my guesstimate is the R2 will be profitable but only by a small percentage. I am anticipating a stock increase of a few dollar’s. Lots of us are still hoping for a Tesla like situation with stock prices in the hundreds of dollars but Tesla created the...

Assume this cost would be the owners expense as I doubt Rivian covers out of the country towing.

So what happens if you have a serious maintenance issue with your Rivian while in Mexico.

I would agree and need to add an inverter to take the 400 HV battery DC voltage down to usable AC power. Most likely a bit expensive to set up.

I notice my R1t charges at 10.7 kw in the garage level 2 Tesla wall connector. The J1772 plug is warm but not hot. Now if I attempt to charge outside my garage in the sun the system derates to a lower amperage charge just due to the radiant heat on the cord and plug from the sun. Appears just...

Access to those items and their diagnostics would be very helpful to many of us that enjoy making our own repairs

Same here. But have never had any luck with any powered covers in the winter.

Pretty impressive

Agree. I just had a very positive experience in Chicago but I have stated many times there needs to be a better communication and scheduling system. Possibly an initial appt to triage the vehicle and then a second scheduled appt for the repair. Then there is communication if you as the owner...

If the title was “poor customer service experience“ I believe we would all understand.

The issue in my opinion is not the battery type but more of an issue with the software and how often the 12 volt is being maintained/charged by the HV battery. Honestly don’t see an advantage using a lithium battery and the Rivian system is not designed for a lithium LV battery. If me I I would...

guess I wonder how many people will use this feature

Enterprise melrose Park, ill. Had my choice of several ICE or EV’s. Decided to try a Kia EV. Smaller Niro model. I would say if you wanted an EV that felt more like an ICE vehicle with all the hard control switches and minimal acceleration this would be a model to consider to be able to still...

Agree latest projection I saw from Tesla was well in excess of 200,000 miles on a battery based upon experience. . There is also the repurposing of the pack when and if it requires it so it is never actually discarded and recovery of the rare elements for the assembly of new batteries. I know...

Update. Today just one day shy of three weeks in the shop my hvac case assembly has been replaced. Should have been a two-three day repair but apparently early 2022 R1t’s are prone to the retaining nuts breaking the tack welds. Truck now drains about two quarts of condensate on the ground after...
