  1. Gen 1 major ride quality & handling improvement after 2024.19.04 software update - how's your experience?

    You know what would make the suspension feel waaaaay better? ...If they could make the front of the headrest softer. Heads-up aftermarket folks, it would be great if you made a super soft pillow topper that snaps into the decorative recessions on the sides of the headrest. I'm just bitter...
  2. Top Speed of Gen 2 R1 Ascend Models = 130mph in Launch Mode / 110mph all other modes

    I was watching the speedo of the recent R1T Pikes Peak run footage and noticed that he hits 115 in a straightaway. That got me wondering if the 2025 quad had a higher top speed. With the R1T competing in the "Production Truck" category, I assumed that removing the speed limiter would...
  3. EV Tires vs. non-EV Regular Tires - test results comparison by Tire Rack

    I just need to find the cheapest way out of these 21" rims or I'll never find another tire other than OEM
  4. RJ reveals 35% cost of materials reduction in Gen 2 vehicles from manufacturing / production retooling

    Can't wait to see the 35% reduction in MSRP passed on to the consumer! ... no I get it, they need to be profitable. I guess my only consolation for picking up a Gen 1 R1S the same month the Gen 2's came out will be that I own one of the overpriced, overengineered, spare-no-expense ones...
  5. Had my first scary glitch/ lag while switching Drive Modes today

    Not sure if anyone else has experienced something like this: I was bored in a drive-thru line so I started messing with the drive modes. Normally I'm an All-Purpose guy with the occasional "Sport" mode. I never did "Snow" before, so what I figured "what the heck." Wow, that's higher than I...
  6. Poll: Should Rivian offer Tank Turn?

    I can already see Gear Guard Gary encouraging users to swipe repeatedly in a circle to initiate "Tank Turn Mode"
  7. Poll: Should Rivian offer Apple CarPlay?

    Not offering CarPlay in 2024 is like opening a Chinese restaurant in western Kentucky and telling Meemaw and PopPop that if they don't figure out how to work the chop sticks, they're gonna leave hungry because there's a strict "no forks" rule in this joint. I joke, but it's true. Rivian is...
  8. Poll: Should Rivian offer Apple CarPlay?

    Agree. Rivian's UI isn't so amazing that they should deny access to the free alternative that more than half the country's phones connect with seamlessly. I miss seeing (or hearing )my messages as they come in, I shouldn't have to fiddle with my phone when I'm driving to find out that plans...
  9. Property Brothers own a Rivian

    Lets hope it isn't just a loaner from the SC
  10. Trade-In Process? At what point do you receive your trade value?

    Trade-ins are always less than market, but there's the convenience factor. If your time is valuable and you don't have hours to spend posting ads online, replying to bone-head inquiries like "Will you take XYZ (40% less than what you're asking)", hosting viewing and test driving sessions...
  11. Real Life Photos: Gen 2 R1S Tri-Motor + Ambient Lighting Themes Colors

    What does the new electrochromatic roof glass look like when it's not opaque? From what I've seen so far, it seems a bit hazy when it's "off" and not super shady when turned on. I realize that by referring to it as a "privacy" feature it's no guarantee that it will provide shade. Wondering if...
  12. *I Canceled My 2024 Quad-Motor R1S Pick Up Tomorrow for the 2025 Tri-Motor Ascend/Quad-Motor!

    To everyone on the fence - Here's a scenario: Let's say cancel your existing orders and instead opt to go with the 2025 Refeshed R1S Tri-Motor. Rivian gives you a pickup date of October 2024, but by this fall they hit some production snags and are now pushing the date out to February or March...
  13. Proud Gen-1 owner

    Gen1 R1S owners - show me your existing milky white roof glass tints, because I don't remember anyone asking for this "feature." Better UV protection or a retractable sun shade while maintaining a clear window, sure I'm 100% on board. I'd rather have a "no glass" option than hazy, frosted glass...
  14. I Spent Two Days With Gen-2 R1 Vehicles. Here’s My Thoughts as a Rivian Owner...

    EXACTLY why I lease and would never finance an EV...people talk about how OTA updates will keep you up to date and on the road for years, but if that were true we'd all still be using our iPhone 7's and Samsung Galaxy 6S's. It's the hardware that is advancing at an exponential rate and limiting...
  15. Rivian working on off-road drone to replace a spotter

    Kind of like this Porsche concept from 6 years ago: ...But that drone isn't so much a spotter, but more of an autonomous selfie stick to let the driver see how cool they look driving their Porsche through the twisties.
  16. New R1S Frunk is always hot and has a mild burning smell. Normal?

    I've used the front trunk a couple of times for groceries, but then I stopped because it always seems really hot in the Frunk. It's also impractical to load and unload when pulled all the way in to my garage, so I just don't use it often. On the rare occasion that I do open the frunk (just...
  17. Stealth Camping in San Francisco, Redwoods Camping in Bodega Bay

    I'm pretty sure that my Whole Foods has resident "stealth campers" who are parked in their lot every night, connected to the free EV chargers. Same cars night after night. I'll be the first to admit, that I've NEVER really enjoyed camping and I'm guessing that's not a particularly popular...
