  1. Rivian "can’t wait to bring R2 to you this year!" (Pre Production Assembly Photos & Happy 2026 New Year Message)

    The ā€œenhancedā€ part is the higher res cameras, not lidar hardware.
  2. 2025 R1T Premium Audio, your subwoofer is out of phase

    I don't have anything else to add except that Gen 1's premium/Rivian audio on 2024 builds is different than both options in Gen 2. It has more speakers and a more powerful amp than even the Gen 2 premium audio.
  3. šŸ€

    If they don’t get their shit together with right to repair they’re gonna be burning more cash on another class action real soon.
  4. California WTB: 21" Aero covers - $25ea

    PM’d, I’m in Burbank so Pasadena is totally doable.
  5. California WTB: 21" Aero covers - $25ea

    I’ll actually be passing by Palm Springs next month heading to Joshua Tree with family, so if no one else closer comes in before then I’ll reach out to see if you’re available. It’ll probably be October 19th or 20th.
  6. Rivian E-Bike (by ALSO startup) revealed in leaked images

    Based on the size of the rear sprocket (and the fact that derailleurs suck) it's almost certainly a single speed belt drive. Everyone saying this is hideous is both correct and also hopefully missing the fact that an "e-mobility company" will likely have multiple models. Ugly but inexpensive...
  7. Tesla's Dangerous Doors (electronic door latches) - Can Rivian please not follow this trend?

    I have no doubt the responding crew will be successful in retrieving the bodies. The goal is for everyone to get out before burning to death.
  8. California Sold: WTB: 21" Aero covers - $25ea

    I'm looking to buy a few aero covers (as few as one and as many as four) that are clean, unblemished, and specifically that still have the circular metal spring clip on the back that locks the center tabs into the wheel hub. I actually like the look of the aero covers, but the spring clip that...
  9. Tesla's Dangerous Doors (electronic door latches) - Can Rivian please not follow this trend?

    Do any of your reasons involve burning to death? Because I think the burning to death reasons probably weigh more than the convenience reasons.
  10. Tesla's Dangerous Doors (electronic door latches) - Can Rivian please not follow this trend?

    The front windows on Rivians and Teslas and honestly most new vehicles are laminated, aka "acoustic glass". You're not going to be able to shatter them and climb out even with a glass breaking tool, at least not quickly or easily. The rear windows are tempered and easily breakable though. At...
  11. Typical Halloween costume release dates

    Halloween mode is usually only around for the week of Halloween and disappears at midnight on the 1st. They want you to have fun, but not too much fun, and only in the way that the designer approves of (see RGB lighting presets.)
  12. What About That R2 Sunroof?

    If you want zero light transmission just vinyl wrap the roof panel. Total cost in the dozens of dollars. Non-issue.
  13. Off-road trip with some Rivian engineers

    The display also shows full regen when you have brake assist turned on and the battery is at 100%, a circumstance where regen isn't actually possible and it's all mechanical braking. If the display is lying about regen when brake assist is enabled, why wouldn't it lie about regen when cruise...
  14. Off-road trip with some Rivian engineers

    Same here. I tested this on my Gen 1 before the blended braking update existed, and the pedal still moved then too. I used to live at the top of a half mile hill that lost about 400 feet of elevation. A relatively gentle but consistent descent. I drove down it manually using regen only and...
  15. (Ended) Comma 3x Sale for $899

    For those deep in the Comma community: has there ever been talk of a device that either integrates better behind the mirror (like a FitCamX) or uses the vehicle cameras to not require windshield mount at all? I’d love to have actually-useful ADAS but I can’t stand having a big device hanging...
  16. RealWheelsEV NEW Rivian Accessories Brush Guard, Steps, Light Bar, Bed Rack and more!

    Does the brush bar just slide over the factory tow hooks then? How is it secured? I'd worry about it being wobbly if it's not bolting directly to the steel crash bar / bumper like the factory tow hooks do.
  17. Newest Powered Tonneau Cover in action (3rd gen redesigned / improved version debut on Dune Edition R1T)

    There's probably only one for purchase on the gear shop (when it gets there) - the V1.1 to go in the trucks that didn't get one at all or got the broken original one. The new roll-up will probably not be available for retrofit - consider they would have to literally cut a hole in the bottom of...
  18. Update: Georgia factory construction begins 2026, with R2/R3/R3X production in 2028 -- (article published 1/22/25)

    Cybertruck got a million reservations for a bulletproof truck with a starting price of $39,900 when there was little to no competition in the EV truck space. Then they tried to sell people a very much not bulletproof truck with a starting price north of $100k after 2-3 really good competitors...
  19. Brake service

    On the Gen 1 at least, adaptive cruise control only uses the brake pads to moderate speed, no regen. If you use Driver+ often you will wear through your pads way faster than expected.
  20. New Service Center in Burbank, CA opening December

    On Empire by the railroad tracks, south East corner of the airport, across from the MSG Sphere.
