  1. Adjusting R1S liftgate / tailgate alignment -- how-to DIY instructions

    Great find! This doc pretty much outlines the procedure I used when I wrote the original post. Great to have detailed diagrams for everyone and the TQ numbers. I find it odd that they only authorize the procedure if there is interference or water leakage.... otherwise Rivian thinks that...
  2. Launch Editions in R1 shop?

    There is no difference between the LE and AE other than the badge on the dash. The LE has the option for the LG exterior color and there are a few wheel upgrades that are free (if configured with those wheels... otherwise you still pay to upgrade for other wheels.) So, in some configs an LE is...
  3. Rivian's Latest Cost-Cutting Measure? The Horn!

    Someone needs to make an aftermarket kit with everything you need to "fix" the horn.
  4. "For your safety, immediately exit and move away from the vehicle" - R1S fault

    Talked this the SC this morning and they said this is nothing to worry about, is an issue they are having in the heat and it is related to the 12v battery, not the main batteries.
  5. "For your safety, immediately exit and move away from the vehicle" - R1S fault

    Yes... and surprisingly my wife called me while still sitting in the car and didn't seem overly concerned with the message. I guess she believed me when I told her that her R1S would likely have a few software issues as part of the maturing process for Rivian. :-O
  6. R1S liftgate opened while driving and all luggage fell out! (Drive Cam video added)

    I'm curious how well aligned your rear hatch is. From the factory mine was way off and it was clear that the rear doors were not closing all the way due to the misalignment. What I mean is that that latch system was not able to fully secure the doors. When closed, they both "wiggled" if you...
  7. "For your safety, immediately exit and move away from the vehicle" - R1S fault

    Slightly scary moment for my wife yesterday. R1S was in a parking lot for about 5 mins when she got back and got in there was an alarm going off with a message on the screen that said something like: "Immediately exit and move away from the vehicle. Dangerous chemical fumes detected" She called...
  8. Folks with turbo AC noise at start up

    Complicated answer: I just moved back to Scottsdale from Seattle. R1S arrived in June(Seattle SC delivery) and immediately made an appointment for a few issues but Oct was the earliest the Bellevue SC could get me in. Three weeks ago I moved and shipped the R1S down to AZ. I also "moved" my...
  9. Folks with turbo AC noise at start up

    In Scottsdale... I have an appointment this week at the SC to get this issue checked. I'll let you know if they make any changes. I don't care about the turbo noise... I just want to be cold. Sometimes the AC works great (even with it is 115)... but some days it really struggles.
  10. Dear Rivian Engineers who worked on the Air Conditioning

    If the system was "undersized" then wouldn't the air coming out of the vents at least be ice cold... but simply not enough cold air to lower the cabin temp? The issue I have on 115 degree day is that the air coming out of the vents is "cool" but not "ice cold". Start my Audi, X5 or Escalade...
  11. R1S Not Maintaining Charge While Plugged In

    I have a Chargepoint Flex and this issue started happening after the update before xxx30. Was that one 28 or something like that? Very strange behavior. Before the update the R1S charged to 80% and stayed at 80%. Worked great. Then one day I noticed that it was at 78% after sitting in the...
  12. EV Tax Penalty

    Washington State is trying to move to monitoring your vehicle and charging you for every mile you drive. So be happy with a flat tax for now.
  13. Nokian recommended tires (including winter snow tires)

    Thankfully they spend their $$$ on tire engineering and not marketing and website design. The product speaks for itself.
  14. FAQ - discoveries, things to learn, etc.

    I'd like to recommend that we create an FAQ for the R1. Basically, a list of things to know/learn about an R1. New owners can come and read and learn all the stuff that has taken some of us weeks/months to discover. We can also keep a list of running changes to the R1. Maybe this exists...
  15. Bad VIN, Twice!

    escalate. You guide should help you with the process. I has something similar and everything was taking forever. Then one day my guide had enough of the delays and worked with his team leader to escalate things. Within 5 mins I was delinked from my bad VIN (for the 4th time) and had Shop...
  16. Drone mode?

    I have something similar on two of our other cars... it is something that is cool to see once... you never use it after that.
  17. Dogs and Rivians ?

    She doesn't normally get to sit up front, but this was a quick stroll down the street and she seemed to step up to her job as co-pilot. :)
  18. R1S second row seats are laughably hard to manipulate

    For what its worth... my new Escalade is exactly the same way. Seems like a dumb design. And it doesn't help that if you push the seat all to the back position... then the 3rd row can't come up or down because it hits the 2nd row seats, so you have to push it all the way back, then slightly...
  19. latest VIN for R1S

    Not true at all. I selected two different VINs from the shop in May/June and they weren't even off the production line yet... and were the highest VINs we had seen. I ended up with a 13xxx R1S and that was the first 13k reported here (and my guide confirmed it was rolling out of the factory...
  20. Nightmare Plant Delivery Experience!

    That being the case... don't you think you are being a little harsh on Rivian? You had quite a few opportunities to catch the interior being OC for the VIN you selected. The docs you signed stated the color that was on the R1 you were flying to pick up. Yes.. the whole situation sucks... no...
