I don't think I'd seen the "launch mode" he first describes (floor brake and gas, count 3-2-release on 1) as a Rivian recommendation. Have others or is that something new or a hack? Its not like I've pushed the limits already and looking for more. Just punching and then not even to the floor...

Feeling massively fortunate for having my R1T and giving Rivian all the slack in the world for where they've gotten with the magnitude of the challenge and their stage in life, there are still some hiccups I've experienced that seem like even they should not be experiencing - My windshield...

Was that someone on here? Third R1T I’ve seen in the wild (including mine and one in ATL) while having a bite and beverage across the road from my neighborhood. Previous day, showed mine at Earth Day EV show in Asheville and was only Rivian there so imagine my surprise seeing another...

My pretty long driving history with fortunate lack of need for spares and reasonable contingency options for most of the on and off road driving we usually do drove some of my thinking around not opting for one. With all the opinions here considered and some of the things we're likely to do with...

The cure can definitely be worse than the disease. My experience has been that all covers are not created equal and that there are situations, conditions and proper handling that could make a cover a good idea. Despite knowing the potential pitfalls, I'm still interested in evaluating a...

Agreed. An argument (or even a plea) to be made for all of us to live... smaller, less impact, etc. for homes, cars, businesses, etc. I feel like most electrification efforts are helping us move in that direction, even if still catering to some of our desires for not just enough but more than...

This article came up in my Apple News feed. I don’t have an opinion about Vice’s or the writer’s objectivity. https://www.vice.com/en/article/3abmwy/there-arent-enough-batteries-in-the-world-to-power-our-huge-cars Rivian is squarely in the author’s crosshairs. What’s curious is that M3 and MY...

Thanks for this! Confirms some suspicions. Bummer about the scratches. whodathunk you’d need PPF there? Moot point for me as I’m apparently never getting crossbars I ordered with old address issues and my guide ghosting me on the topic.

Sweet. I’m pretty sure my near-vintage 26” will fit. My wife’s new 27.5”(650b) is super slack and long (>70”) so probably roof-only for it.

That is exactly how I'd like to configure, if I ever get crossbars? I've actually got a Highroad on roof of our Q5 and its great. What bikes are you putting on? I assume anything longer than 70" has back wheel hit cab spoiler or back window and forces crossbars and Highroad to roof. I'm...

I did update through the the website. I don’t recall guide doing any validation of my address. I did get a call from CS re: owed bracelet where they might have asked about address but haven’t seen that delivery yet either. Since I figured address was only maintained in the places on the...

Without seeing a teardown I can only go by what I'm told but I asked this specific question of the Rivian person that delivered the vehicle and they said there are separate compressors for the bed utility and suspension. Seemed like single for both would be... elegant. I guess there could be a...

Geez. Hope they can get all this right. I forgot that Wall Charger came to the right address 3-4 weeks ago so complete DRE on old address here too for field kit and crossbars.

Ouch. So sorry to hear that. Directing good vibes your way for that. I looked a bunch at the main screen yesterday for update and then finally got notification on phone last night. I tried to start update from phone and got a failure message. More like wouldn't even start vs. what looks like...

I got UPS notification that 2 shipments were on their way... to my old address. Presumably, this was my crossbars and field kit. I called UPS to see if they could re-route. They couldn't but said would return shipment to sender. I reached out to guide to see why they still had my old address...

Even having been bit as an early air spring adopter in a 2003 Audi Allroad, I'm not worried about the Rivian's at all. We're ~20+ years into mainstream air springs and I have to imagine much has been learned and applied. Sure there will still be some failures, though. On the Audi, first air...

I guess they needed to distinguish their R1T from *all* the others seen in their area?

I've got a case open that I'm told for the last few days is being reviewed by engineering. I didn't plug the network board in while finishing the install but I watched the electrician do it. I hope a missed connection isn't the case for me. I'd think Bluetooth is on that board too and I...

This is exactly what I think of and tell others on the hard vs. soft button debate. As much as there’s times I promise I’m going to give Steve Jobs a piece of my mind on the other side for driving us to soft keyboards and touchscreens (as I make and correct dozens of typos on this post that I’d...

I’m hugely biased but, to me, all the launch modes are like John Wick using Barney Fife's ammunition strategy.
