This is a really simple one, guys. Obviously, there is near zero technical credibility to their warning because according to Rivian we can't even use an official Ford adapter when both Ford's and Rivian's are made by Tesla and are both identical. Rivian is simply doing legal CYA because they...

This is a well known "experience" with Tesla's too. The phenomenon seems to come and go over time with different software versions. It's not worrisome unless it's happening often (weekly or less?) in which case you might want to ask service about it.

Hotel chargers are excellent but I would never rely on one working or not being ICE'd or otherwise taken. Would you drive an ICE vehicle to a remote destination knowing you'd arrive on Empty and knowing there was only one sketchy gas station that is known to occasionally not be open within an...

Received mine yesterday (ordered 3/19) and tried it last evening. Worked flawlessly all around. Rate was $0.53/kWh (Cincinnati, OH)

I recently got my R1S coming from a '21 MYP and a '17 MS 90D before that. I miss very little about the Tesla's because I road trip a lot. You gotta know your reasons because the R1S is very different than an X. The R1S is a truck whereas the X is more like a car. The Large pack is 135 kWh and...

I too am a recent R1S owner and coming from a '21 MYP. 1. Proximity locking: I don't understand what you're describing. R1S has phone-as-key. Does your phone? Did you enable this in the R1S settings (there are then additional settings for how it should behave at your entered home address)...

One final update. TLDR: If you have your FDU replaced, make sure you insist on Rivian service doing a four wheel alignment too. After driving R1S a few more days, I realized that the steering wheel center position and alignment were both really off. I contacted Rivian service and they were...

Better to have than not, but I don't see this being that helpful. Even with a good score, there appears to be no accounting for congestion or wait time at a specific charger (I'm not sure how they would get such data without it shared by the charger company entity). The Tesla network is going...

Sounds like your fault is not identical. I did read others see the first fault come up if they shift into gear really fast upon entry. Yes, whole front motor. They said it’s a straightforward swap The dual motor only uses the rear motor under ~ 22mph or when accelerating hard.

Alex doesn't do that to me, but I do subscribe to Amazon Prime and also use Tidal. On another note, have you ever engaged with Alex in a fart conversation? Ask to fart and then keep going. It's quite funny if you have kids. Way better than Tesla's fart feature. "Would you like me to fart five...

The R1S is back with me and working well so far (other than apparently well known steering wheel left of center, which I'm just going to live with for now). The repair report is actually fairly detailed. Primary cause/failure was the FDU inverter. This required the replacement of the ENDURO...

My R1S steering wheel also needs to be a few degrees to the left in order to drive straight. I think it is more noticeable due to the rectangular shape connection at the column. Rivian would have been smarter to make the column circular which probably would make it less noticeable. The vehicle...

Many good points by OP. I wanted to comment specifically on the OP's sentiment of essentially, "Why would anyone buy something other than a Y or pay more for a similar Y competitor?" There are many opportunities in the consumer auto market to distinguish vehicles and price points. I do not...

UPDATE: Dropped R1S off to service center on 4/1. I was updated today that the front drive unit is being replaced. Expected to be ready for pick up on Wednesday (4/10). I was surprised with that because in my amateur experience I guesstimated this was going to be a sensor replacement or...

Don't those tires bring the EPA range spec down to 355mi for the max pack? That's what the website shows. So I'm curious why the Rivian nav estimator was 369 miles? Your stats check out too. At 2.24 m/kWh you should get ~ 327 miles which you basically did considering the overnight use of Gear...

Do you mean to use the MagicDock you do not need to initiate it from the app? If so, I would believe you now that Rivian is officially connected behind the scenes to Tesla for billing (if you have a credit card associated with your Rivian account). However, it would not be a universal claim. If...

For MagicDock you do need to initiate the charge from the app. All of the websites, apps, and navs that I am aware of (relating to us) distinguish between MagicDock and non-MagicDock Superchargers. FYI. You just to familiarize yourself with the lingo in the Rivian nav or your app (such as a...

That's not what I hear in your video, but if that's the case then you really shouldn't have an issue getting it fixed.

Coming from 2 Tesla's since 2017, the Rivian motor/regen/transmission noise surprised me at first too, but it's totally normal (your videos sound like mine from what I can tell). I've grown to like it. It is a "truck" after all. And, while it is most noticeable around 30 mph for me as well, it's...

Yeah, we’re saying the same thing. There is actually no technical reason for the warning, just worried lawyers (and it’s technically inaccurate because Ford’s is “not a Rivian’s” & is actually the same). And I agree, assuming only a reputable product in good condition is used (which is true of...
