  1. West Region Guide Nonresponsive

    I sent email two weeks ago, no response.
  2. In search of the best hitch-mount bike rack for R1S

    The captive pin of the Mach2 does indeed fit into the hole in the Rivian receiver when the rack is pushed all of the way in. (However, the Mach2's pin is not designed to go all the way in to the hole in the rack; it just goes in to the receiver to make sure the rack can't slip backwards. As...

  4. Problems problems, all these damn problems! Let's hear from those who've had little / no issues! ?️

    Got mine in June. There were 3 very minor issues at delivery. They took care of all of them at one service appointment, and everything else about the car has been great. I am perfectly happy with the car...only unhappy at how long it takes to get a service appointment. But I know Rivian is...

    Seattle Area Rivian Group

    I had a similar issue where I tried the 120V adapter first and then had a heck of a time removing it. I didn't find any tricks, I just pulled on it hard enough that I was afraid something might break. I have since put in the 240V adapter and pulled it out, and that wasn't as bad - I don't know...
  6. There are people with R1Ses without any issues right?

    Just over 6 months, and the only issue was the 120v outlets didn't work. Has been fixed.
  7. JD Power U.S. EV Experience Ownership Study (link to survey included)

    Thanks for sharing; I'd love to see more EV owners filling those out too. But... I don't think the link is meant to be shared (I assume because they are trying to randomize the sample, as opposed to getting the largest number of responses). I just tried it, and it says I have already filled out...
  8. Any idea why I can't turn on my 120V AC outlets?

    Recap: I got my R1S on June 8. On June 17 I tried to use my 120V outlets and...they wouldn't turn on. No error message; just nothing. I submitted a ticket, and 3 weeks later I created this thread. It is now fixed. My issue was "damaged pin on HV harness". The fix was "Harness, HV, HVAC Heater -...
  9. Tesla Universal Wall Connector home charger - it's here!

    Good to know; thanks for the update. FWIW I got my Tesla Universal charger a couple of weeks ago, and it worked fine on my...Hyundai Kona rental - my R1S was in the shop. I just got the R1S back today, and it charged just fine the first time too. (Both the R1S and the Kona will start with a...
  10. Rivian or another vendor wall charger?

    I recently had a couple of Tesla chargers installed. The electrician was very pleased; he says they are the best-designed for installation (and they've worked very well for me long-term at previous houses). My Rivian was not in the garage so this was by chance, but he volunteered that Rivian...
  11. R1S Electrical Plug and limits

    I agree that the driveway test is important! For example, in June shortly after taking delivery of my R1S, I tried a driveway test and discovered that the 120V outlets in my vehicle wouldn't even turn on. It took 4.5 months to get a service appointment. It is currently in for that...
  12. What benefit does a wall charger offer vs. cable alone?

    1) If you aren't going to upgrade the line and breaker, then no, a wall-mount won't charge any faster - 32A is all you can draw from a 40A circuit. (And for most residential use, 32A is fast enough to replace a day's miles overnight). 40A is as fast as you can get with anything (wall-mount or...
  13. Rivian Quality - Would you hesitate to buy another in a few years?

    Mine's been awfully darn good. No way would quality keep me from buying a new one. That said, I'd at least wait until they get their local service wait times under control. The one minor issue I've had still isn't fixed, because it took 4.5 months to get an appointment. Not gonna buy another...
  14. Concerns About Needing Repairs in Remote Areas?

    HERE is the story of someone (not a Rivian) that went out in to the wilderness and got their truck stuck... Happy ending, though.
  15. Concerns About Needing Repairs in Remote Areas?

    I do have some concerns when taking my car to remote places...but I don't think that concern is any greater for the Rivian than for other cars.
  16. Towing + Efficiency: Please post your experience!

    We just got back from another trip with our trailer. This one involved a mountain pass and higher speeds...but we still got over 1.5 mi/Kwh! The route went over Snoqualmie Pass, which was a gain of 2779', then down 807' to a lake. Temperatures were in the 60's, weather was clear and roads were...
  17. First Rivian (probably and EV) hater encounter

    Some time around 2010 I took my EV to an earth day event or something like that. Someone setting up in a booth near me looked at my car, and said "Is that electric? I don't want electric. Let me know when you have a water powered car." Maybe it was just my bias, but I figured she wasn't likely...
  18. Forest Edge Owners - Any Regrets?

    I wasn't planning on getting Forest Edge. Partly because I wasn't sure how it would really look in person, and partly because I saw no need to spend the extra money. But the closest match in the shop was a Launch Green configured just how I wanted it except for interior color, so I went for it...
  19. Seattle eastside: any alignment shops familiar with Rivians?

    I believe the tech that called me on Tuesday (see post above) didn't close my ticket. I noticed that the ticket was still open last night, and today I got another call. Actually two more calls. The first call sounded like he didn't realize I'd already been called. He said "if I understand what...
