  1. Bye bye Rivian - I had such high hopes

    I can’t say we didn’t try. 5 months of ownership, 32 days in service for a variety of issues. Rivain bought back our 25, we ordered a 26 quad LE. Figured why not, we like the car, we like the tech. Delivery included a door ding, the same c pillar dent as our 25, a damaged appliqué, and gaps...
  2. 25 R1S Tri repurchase approved after 5 months of ownership. Ordered a 2026 Quad LE as a replacement.

    Rivian initially refused our repurchase request. Fast forward about a month later and another service visit, and they changed their mind. Had a great conversation with the repurchase rep, and we ordered a 26 quad LE as a replacement. We (wife and I) are really hoping our experience was not...
  3. Help me understand auto relock after 2 mins

    Say I don’t want to use my phone as a key, nor use a fob. If I rely on my keycard only and I open a door, will the S lock the doors after 2 mins? My assumption of how the auto relock works is if I don’t open a door, or frunk, or lift gate, the S will lock the doors. I can’t find the details...
  4. Phone and keycard locked in R1S last Sunday

    Very strange thing happened to me last Sunday. Getting ready to head out with the family, I gathered my phone, my wallet (which contains my keycard), and the garbage. Now, I have proximity locking/unlocking disabled at home because we park right in front of the house and I got sick of hearing...
  5. Rear hatch won’t open

    New issue which I’m logging data and opening a new service request. Noticed this a few days after getting the S back from service. Probably a coincidence as I don’t think service caused it. A few days ago after shopping at Costco, I went to open the back and pushed the button under the back...
  6. R1S won’t let me unplug from the charger.

    Can’t unplug from the charger. Tried lock and unlock multiple times. Tried to turn on the car. Says I’m plugged in (no s Sherlock) What else? Is there a pull cord?
  7. My issues are being resolved, I think

    Here’s my first of more updates around addressing all the issues with my brand new R1S First - steering wheel off center, pulls to the left under regen, alignment didn’t feel correct as the vehicle would dart left or right at random. Service center just sent me this:
  8. TIL my Audi portable charger charges R1S at 9kW

    I tried to use the Rivian charger on my Audi eTron and it wouldn’t charge the car. So I whipped out the Audi charger. Then today I left with the Audi and the wife plugged in the R1S. I get a notification the R1S is charging at 9kW which is nearly 2kW faster!
  9. 9 days into ownership r1s trimax, not impressed

    Loud blower motor, air compressor on all the time, alignment off, steering shakes (not lane departure related), paint flaw / body damage, trim not flush, door panel rattling, wind noise from roof, and can’t get service for 3 months. for the price of ownership, I’m not impressed.
  10. R1S flat towing behind an RV?

    I searched but could not find my answer. Anyone know if the R1S can be flat towed behind a RV?
