  1. Marathoning in our Dual Performance Max R1S: 360+mi Single Charge Range

    Completed a couple long drives through the I-5 corridor of CA this weekend. We made it door-to-door without stopping each time, primarily out of curiosity to see how the range would hold up. We have a 2023 Gen 1 R1S, performance dual max with 21" road tires (stock pirellis for now... michelin...
  2. What hitch cargo carrier is this? (from R2 promos)

    Anybody have a sharp eye for stuff like this? Is it a yet to be released OEM accessory, or one that’s already out there? I like the full enclosure and rear brake lights. Looks like there is a camp stove on top as well, but that’s not the part I’m asking about.
  3. Any SoCal electricians want to make a buck? Pre-wired EV garage charger.

    My home came pre-wired with a recessed box for EV charging. The breaker box says it’s 50 amps. I’m very naive on this subject but I assume this means most of the legwork here is already done and I just need an outlet put in for my Rivian Wall Charger (working on acquiring one of those now). Or...
  4. Curious charging calculations

    Just had a big overnight charge session from 10% to 80%. I have a Gen 1 Dual Max Performance. Yes it is winter but I live in SoCal and that is not a factor at these temps. The vehicle consumed 85 kWh to gain 70% charge (from 10 to 80%). If 85 kWh constitutes 70% of my battery capacity that...
  5. Help with insurance procedures - fender bender.

    Somebody backed into me in a parking lot on Friday. It was not a severe impact, but it was a direct hit to the chargeport door. I was sitting in my parked vehicle when it happened. The chargeport door still opens, closes, and the vehicle does charge, but there is a slight wiggle to the door...
  6. Black Friday 2025 purchase - our R1S!

    Proud Irvine resident and now owner of a new (to me) 2023 Performance Dual Max R1S! My wife and I have an R2 reservation but had been keeping an eye out for deals on an R1 and decided we found one too good to pass up this Friday while visiting family in Nor Cal. Dual Motor Max Battery...
  7. Dual Motor + Max Pack + Launch Edition

    Was this something that was ever available for configuration? Currently Launch edition only seems offered for Gen2 quad. I’ve started to see some used late ~23, 2024 dual motor max packs pop up on the used market and am curious if one will ever appear in Launch Green. Currently Launch edition...
  8. Experience with buying used directly from Rivian?

    Has anybody here actually bought a used Rivian through their used shop? We have our eye on a few that we would like to look at but there does not seem to be a way to get in touch with anyone from this specific department. Can we just show up at the service center and look at these? That seems...
  9. Poll: Has your Rivian ever turtled?

    Still in the used market and trying to discern how prevalent this issue is. Secondarily, does a turtled Rivian suffer increased risk of turtling again after the initial issue is resolved? If i'm shopping in the used market, do I have any way of knowing if a Rivian has turtled before? Thanks...
  10. "Launch Automotive" has to be a scam, right?

    Listings don't say anything about salvaged titles here. Absent that, prices seem too good to be true (and I bet they are) - anybody dealt with Launch Automotive before? Some half-assed internet research doesn't inspire confidence. I initially found this dealer after the blue model appeared on...
  11. Can’t buy used Rivian out of state?

    Inching closer to an R1S purchase and reached out to a Rivian sales advisor about the used inventory they have on their website. I’d noticed different inventory appears with different zip codes and asked if there was an easier way to view nationwide inventory instead of clicking through each...
  12. Owner experience with Fast Charging stations?

    TLDR: I understand Rivian's Charging Network plus the Tesla partnership provides a lot of coverage along popular routes for long roadtrips, but what kind of kW capacity do I need to be on the lookout for when I'm looking for charge from 10-20% up to 70-80% in 20-30 minutes time? The rest: My...
  13. Poll: Would you buy your Rivian again?

    I'm aware those with issues are more vocal on forums than those without. My family wants a third-row vehicle and we love the concept of an EV. While we can afford to budget around $60k, we can't afford mistakes with big purchases and a lot of the common gripes on this forum do make us nervous...
  14. Will R2 launch lower R1S resale value / market?

    It seems R1S models are holding their resale value incredibly well. Hard for me to find one below $70-75k. We have an R2 reservation we are very excited about - but I’m starting to wonder if there will be too much redundancy in terms of size and capability between the R2 and 4 door Bronco we...
