  1. Fully Charged... and locked out.

    Phone in the truck, is that number 1 800 Rivian?
  2. Fully Charged... and locked out.

    Yep, after my wife drove my fob to me.
  3. Fully Charged... and locked out.

    So, I finally received my Lectron adapter Yesterday and was eager to try it before an upcoming road trip. I've only charged at home and wanted a test before I had to rely on it in the wilds. I tossed it in the frunk this morning before heading out and made a pit stop for coffee. I realized I...
  4. Do you consider Rivian a Luxury Car?

    The question would be more effective if phrased "Do you believe the Rivian brand is a Luxury Brand?" I answered no because Rivian is not marketing it's vehicles as luxury, and they certainly haven't the amenities of luxury brands I've owned. Yes, it's an awesome vehicle, has awesome...
  5. 60 Days review in the R1S

    Well it's been 60 days from the pickup of my R1S, quad motor with 22's. I love the vehicle! I'm a recovering ICE driver, I came to the R1S via a PHEV, 2023 Lincoln Aviator GT, and my wife's EQB. I loved the Aviator, great performance, luxury features and service, one call or online...
  6. Q2 2024 will be "messy" says RJ. Confirms NACS adapters now shipping

    No surprises, that guidance was "baked in" on price from the last call. What will be a "mess" is if we hear about some unexpected non unit cost variances, or there's a delay with sales of refreshed models, or a miss on unit cost improvements.
  7. Car Reg/Plate?

    Approximately 5 weeks to get plate. The new plate expired in 4 more weeks.:(
  8. Radar Detector hardwire, who has done it?

    Except for the reality that @DiggingHoles shared his experience with Blendmount's BMG-3032 mount working on Rivian's short tapered mirror shaft, which I was able to repeat without any modification. It took some salty language as I struggled with gravity and tiny socket cap screws and washers...
  9. Radar Detector hardwire, who has done it?

    Yeah, I did. They were adamant that the mount isn't compatible...
  10. YouTube App and Google Cast video streaming coming to Rivian infotainment system

    It's been pointed out elsewhere that the R1 lacks a satellite receiver antenna, and probably a receiver as well but Sirius XM has a streaming service. I enjoy the variety content on SiriusXM. What is limiting Actually what's limiting is the lack of a satellite antenna and receiver. If there...
  11. YouTube App and Google Cast video streaming coming to Rivian infotainment system

    ? This is of little value to me. Only works in park, maybe some minimal value while waiting at a DC charger? Providing better traffic data would be awesome, but not PR worthy I suppose. The ability to voice text, like I did in 2014, well before AA was introduced, is more important to me, but...
  12. for those of you, we have been leasing for more than a month

    Chiming in. Took Delivery March 30. I had electronic copies of the contract immediately. I had an Illinois temp tag despite buying in Ohio. My registration conversation with my Guide was like trying to teach my dog algebra. My lease showed up automagically in the Chase online portal about 3...
  13. Car wash issue?

    No issues on my R1S, I take full advantage of my "unlimited" car wash membership, no issues with the undercarriage wash.
  14. Possible lemon.. need help

    You have several options. The first is to attempt to work something out directly with Rivian; let's just let that statement stand on its own. Lemon law consumer protections are typically based in state law, although you could make a case under federal warranty law. @COdogman posted a link to...
  15. UPDATED: Warning - Safety Defect Found with Lectron NACS Adapter

    The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on May 1st issued a safety recall for up to 1,624 NACS adapters sold by Lectron. https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=24E033 From the recall letter, Dropcases Limited/Lectron will replace the adapter, free of charge. Owner...
  16. Tires pressure and efficiency

    Interesting data. Intuitively I would expect to see this correlation between increased air pressure and increased efficiency. Curious to know if there is any effect on wear or performance in different weather conditions.
  17. 22” vs 20” Wheel Comparison - Real World

    Well I can't comment on the 20" experience, but I can share that I'm really satisfied with the 22's on the R1S QM. My last ride, an Aviator GT, had the same rubber and I was happy with them on that ride too. The handling on the R1S is pretty impressive, sporty enough for most I'd imagine. I...
  18. Lease vs buy R1T

    Lease. Cash is king, leasing gives you a lower cash cost to have full enjoyment of the R1 in comparison to purchase. You also have the bulk of the cash to invest, even conservatively, returning +5% APY. Then there's the inevitable march of progress, in 24 or 36 months the landscape of EV's...
  19. EV Wave?

    OK, I'm down with the "Jeep wave" and the "motorcycle wave" but I've been getting an "EV wave", either that or I have early onset Alzheimer's and can no longer recognize people waving at me. R1's are a bit of a novelty in my area, and seem to be a bit of a curiosity, but not to the legion of...
