I have exactly the same vehicle, including the color, and I had a very similar experience about a month after I bought it. It took several days for the technicians to figure things out. In my case the issue turned out to be a bubble that had developed in one of the lines somewhere that prevented...
Like many, I only charge when we are on the road. Here are our experiences.
First, despite having paid for the Tesla app, and being guided to charging stations, some, but not all older stations won’t work with Rivian. On a driving trip in July we could not charge at Tesla stations in Santa...
Something is wrong with a company that provides cutting edge, off road vehicles with poor build quality and even worse service. Many years ago, when KIA was floundering due in part to reliability problems, new company leadership offered a bumper to bumper 100k warranty. The thinking was the firm...
As a new R1S owner but an old guy, I have a lot of CDs. Does anyone have any experience adding an after market portable player to the sound system on the R1S? If so, please share your experiences.
I purchased and took delivery of my R1S in early March. From the get go I have had problems with the electronics — screen rebooted while driving, altimeter doesn’t work, thermometer is inaccurate, I couldn’t sync with the garage opener, forward camera doesn’t switch off after reversing, screen...
Due to the cutting edge nature of its product, another large infusion of cash from Volkswagen and the troubles Tesla is facing, Rivian has a chance to become a key player in the EV market. But it isn’t going to unless it gets its act together regarding repairs. Unlike you, I do live within...
For surfing I do one of two things with mine: 1. I have two waterproof lanyard badge holders which I bought on Amazon. One is a narrow hinged case with a gasket and fastener that can hold several cards. I use that when I’m at a place where I don’t feel confident leaving anything in the car...
I was told when I picked my R1S up in March that Rivian owners who routinely charged to 90% were not experiencing any adverse effects. The young lady who lead my tutorial also encouraged me to charge to 100% ever two weeks or 500 miles. The owners’ manual also recommended do something similar.
I have a 2025 R1S and a Liftmaster garage door opener and I’ve had the same experience. I have repeatedly go through all the steps; I’ve tried changing the position of the car relative to the garage door, held the remote six inches from the mirror different, tried programming while parked in...
As a new Rivian owner I have three questions regarding charging and another about spare tires:
1. Next month I will be spending a week at a vacation rental. Because there isn’t a commercial charging facility near where I will be staying I would like to keep my R1S plugged in to maintain charge...
