Proof!

For what it's worth, my experience is that chips NOT on the edge of the windsheild are an easy and cheap repair. I have always had them repaired as soon as I notice them at a local glass shop. I drive up, they inspect and repair in about 30 minutes. I know people who have repaired chips with...

Nice article but got distracted by the uncanny resemblence of the Michelin Man on the Rivian's tire to the beloved Gary... coincidence? I think not...

Okay, it's fixed, thanks those who offered help! I tried the calibration procedure below, it didn't work. The link shared by @rjcrowder for calibration in the service "RiDE" menu worked, eventually. I had to calibrate it three times; the first two completed with "failure", third time was the...

I noticed an issue I haven't been able to solve. Weather is still sultry here and I've used the app to vent the windows prior to cooling the interior of the R1S. Sometimes the feature doesn't work, sometimes it does, same for turning on the temp control remotely. I live with it. I noticed...

I believe that the transparency is welcome. Setting expectations at the start of the buying process is key to customer satisfaction. The majority of vehicle buying experience is based on advertising, past experience, referral, and the dealership experience. Direct to consumer vehicle purchase...

Technically the warranty does cover tread life and defects. As far as tire warranties go, MICHELIN's isn't the worst. People look to warranties as an indicator of tire quality, the fact that these warranties are notoriously difficult to realize value from diminishes the usefulness of the tread...

There were probably a lot of people who weren't ready to pull the trigger on ICE and decided to stick with horses. Not enough infrastructure, grass was everywhere and largely free, gas filling stations weren't. I was a Jeep junkie for a while, but recently I've transitioned to all EV, not...

The "big 3" or their latest iterations have a dismal record managing product portfolio and predicting market demand. Bankruptcies, bailouts, etc. Their decisions should not be considered bellwether indicators...

Me too, it's LOUDER. I have the Rivian Elevation system, listening to Amazon Music, not better, just louder and the decibel change from 1 to 2 is too large for my preference. I miss analog volume controls (a little).

Sounds like a business opportunity for an enterprising individual?

I just received a Leviton EV48W to test and it's pretty good and has an interesting feature for some, maybe for your use case. It comes with 3 RFID access cards. The charger has an RFID reader integrated so to initiate a charge a user has to touch the RFID card to the charger. Could be handy in...

Our EQB is as coin operated as any vehicle. German car manufacturers seem to be the worst at the "à la carte" approach to vehicle pricing and residual revenue streams. After the free period we have not paid a tithe to Mercedes for the privilege of remote locking, customized ambient lighting...

I rent similar trailers from my local Sunbelt, I say similar because the trailer is never the same as the photos. One thing to consider is that the ones I rent require a pintle hook not a ball. My local Sunbelt has a full line of balls, mounts, hooks, wiring adapters and pins, at regular retail...

The much despised Mckinsey has some data...

Ok, I understand the disappointment. I also understand you didn't fully understand or appreciate what the capabilities of the "magic roof" were before you accepted the vehicle. There are some work arounds that have been posted. For those interested in retrofitting a roof to make it magical, or...

Hey, I understand wanting some attention and admiration that you own and drive a muscle car. It looks cool, it's powerful and noisy. Well, I really enjoy the R1S QM and the ridiculously quick launches that it delivers, effortlessly, quietly. The occasional jack rabbit start from a light...

<$0.02> Investor calls are "tuned" for institutional investors. Retail investors get to tag along. The 10Q is published for those who gain enjoyment from parsing high level figures and looking for hidden meaning, but these do not and have never contained granular data. Rivian telegraphed what...

I am a leasing fan. I quit buying vehicles in the early 2000's after I realized I never kept them longer than 3 or 4 years and I always had a monthly payment. Since that realization I have actively worked to find the best lease deals available when my lease was coming to an end. I have bought...

Not sure, my loaner was white with a build date 11/22 according to the door sticker.
