  1. Rivian is a no show at this years Detroit Auto Show

    Looks like they decided to go straight to their most likely customers: https://stories.rivian.com/big-sky-resort-montana-rivian-collaboration-2026
  2. Burnouts!

    I am so grateful YouTube didn't exist in the mid-late 80s. I definitely would have done something stupid like that. I mean...if you're dumb enough to tie a rope to the back of your friend's bike and have him pull you on a skateboard down the street (with no helmet, pads, etc...), then strapping...
  3. Burnouts!

    My first few cars ('86 Plymouth Turismo, '89 & '92 Acura Integras) were FWD. If I popped the clutch, I could maybe get a little "chirp", but that was about it. Also, I could only do donuts in reverse. Kinda lame...
  4. Conversation with my neighbor... Are Rivian's really for rich people?

    Agree. I lucked into an excellent lease deal (no $ down, $620/mo lease for my $82K R1T). New ones are at least 50% more for the same features (which is why I haven't upgraded).
  5. R2 vs. R1? Why are you so excited about the R2 to reserve one?

    Some banks will allow you to "extend" your lease a few months. I've done this a few times through Chase. They just let you continue on for 3-4 months at the same payment (something I'm seriously considering doing when my Gen1 lease is up, given it's sooooo cheap).
  6. Phantom Braking - Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) fires spontaneously

    I've experienced this as well w/ my Gen 1. But to be fair, I've experienced it w/ pretty much any recent vehicle that has distance-pacing cruise. My wife's A5 does this, as did her previous two A5s, my previous two Audis, and a few rental cars. I will say that there's a stretch of road on my...
  7. Near Miss With a Deer

    It’s a shame you missed it. Venison road kill is quite tasty…
  8. No cell, wifi, hotspot or GPS

    Hard resets are common, although some have to do it more frequently than others. I've done maybe 6-8 in my 18 months of ownership (Gen 1 R1T), usually after a new software release. For the record, they are referred to as: Infotainment Reset (aka Restart the Software) Full Reset (aka Restart...
  9. Level 3 Charging 2025-2026 for Rivian R1S May Require a $300 "Accessory"

    If I'm not mistaken, the OEM NACS adapter (for pre-2026 Rivians) was provided by Tesla.
  10. Farewell

    To be clear, I'm not saying Tesla is terrible, nor am I saying Rivians don't have issues. I'm just responding to the BS comment that "Every EV except Tesla has frequent issues still these days".

    And then there's this article: https://www.usatoday.com/story/cars/recalls/2025/12/31/tesla-2025-recall-and-investigations/87962810007/ Which includes the ones mentioned above, along w/ a few more.
  12. Farewell

    Ahem... In 2025, Tesla issued several recalls, including a voluntary recall for certain Model 3 and Model Y vehicles due to battery pack contactor issues that could cause a sudden loss of propulsion. Owners can check if their vehicle is affected by using the Tesla VIN Recall Search tool...

    Just going to highlight this comment, then everyone else here can go back and read your last 8-10 posts…

  15. Rivian software is (still) an embarrassment and needs to get better fast before R2

    I think the whole problem w/ the OP (and others like him) is way the issues are presented. If he/she had come here and started up a thread saying "hey Rivian community, I've been having a few issues and was wondering if this is something I should be concerned about, or if there are easy...
  16. Only able to program 8 garage doors

    Bill Gates: 640K ought to be enough for anybody Rivian Engineer: 8 garage doors ought to be enough for anybody
  17. Rivian software is (still) an embarrassment and needs to get better fast before R2

    I did not complain. I told you a story, there’s a difference. Did I blame anyone? Did I call out Acura for a crappy design?
