The same way R2 will be shipping to customers in June of 2026... 😅 Legally correct, but also misleading. They had only made like ~50 R1Ts in October of 2021, delivered less than 900 by the end of the year and the R1S was still just a twinkle in the eye. If any real non-employee customers got...

I suspect some R1's are blacklisted due to salvage title, attempted jailbreak, whatever reason. There have been threads on this forum where people bought salvaged R1's and then ran into a lot of push back from Rivian not wanting to help them rebuild. That's my guess, just a legal catch-all for...

This one could maybe go either way but the Burbank SC is unfortunately hot garbage. Egregiously poor customer service there and I’m not sure the techs know what they’re doing at all. I’m not surprised. Van Nuys is the one to go to until they get their house in order.

I’ll just say you’re making a ton of assumptions here. We don’t know that lidar and RAP1 are only for L4, that benefits from lidar and RAP1 are five years away, or indeed what anything will cost in five years (or even in nine months.) It’s 100% supposition for now. Flip of a coin. If you like...

You can't have it both ways my man; either L4 is coming soon and you better get your launch edition ASAP for the free lifetime autonomy perk, or it's not coming for 5+ years so anything related to autonomy doesn't matter that much. You're trying to argue both sides of the coin here. Any...

Development on Gen 1 R1 autonomy stopped immediately after Gen 2 dropped. I just don’t know how you can see them break all their Gen 1 autonomy promises and halt all development on that platform only a couple years after it came out and still think there's zero chance of the same thing...

Looks good to me!

To cut the hole I just measured the socket, eyeballed where to put the hole (based on OP's pictures) and drilled through the bed liner side wall with a 1" hole saw. My 12V socket was almost exactly 1" in diameter at the threads but measure yours before you cut anything just to be sure. I used...

Hopefully R2 depreciation is not like the R1... R1 depreciates like most six-figure vehicles, which is to say 30-45% in three years. It's a massive bath if you're intending to flip it quickly, especially if you live in a state like California that doesn't discount sales tax on trade-ins...

For what it's worth, someone on the subreddit who claims to work on the R2 line did confirm after the tornado incident a few days ago that they are "only producing a very limited amount" of R2s per day currently.

Agreed! It will also still be named R2 and seat five! :giggle:

The wire that came with the 12V socket was a couple feet longer than needed so I cut it to an appropriate length and then just used the off cut piece for the harness. But they also sell spools of red and black low voltage wire for cheap if you want extra, something like this would work...

My guess is that this is another feature which will appear on the "real" launch edition that comes in 2027 when they've actually ironed out their supply chain and final tweaks along with lidar, RAP1, improved door handle situation, and whatever else wasn't quite ready for spring. 👀

Correct on all counts. That's exactly what I do as well, put my fridge in the back under the tonneau connected to this port, strap it to the side so it doesn't slide around, and leave it there for the duration of the trip. The "stay on" setting means the HV contactors stay closed and the 12V...

Basically, there's a female plug on the truck harness that is (from the factory) going into a male plug on the utility panel unit. That plug has +12V, -12V, and a signal wire for the gear guard lock which is also integrated to the unit. What we're doing is unplugging the truck harness and then...

Tesla failing to achieve L3 was actually 4D chess you guys. Now it’s been proven that no one wants it anyway, so they were right all along not to provide it! Also cameras better than LiDAR if I didn’t mention that. :rolleyes:

Any laminated glass (even clear, untinted glass) will block 99% of UVA and UVB rays. All the glass in the front of the cabin is laminated so you’re fully protected from a skincare perspective. Infrared will still get through and heat up your dome to some extent but that’s a comfort thing, not a...

Weight doesn't matter for range.

I'm not arguing anything about tool and die or the overall design. My R1T looks the same as a gen 2 R1T but virtually everything electronic is different and upgraded under the hood. If we know that they missed the deadline for Gen 3 Autonomy, and we know that they almost missed the deadline...

Justice is Rivian admitting and paying for their mistake rather than making the owner's insurance handle it or putting up a fight. Getting a brand new truck in exchange for a 3 year old truck that depreciated like a rock is not justice, it's wishful thinking. If the owner is unhappy with the...
