  1. wait for year 2 of R2S?

    OP-depends on your risk tolerance. I was comfortable in getting my R1S two years ago. No major issues to speak of. SC has been great. Agree that R2 is a new model but it's safe to assume that a lot of the R1 DNA will be in the R2. I have a reservation for a R2 and no reservations in getting one...
  2. R1S Gen 2 Dual Max: Buy back program advice?

    Sounds like you had a lot of issues. Posting here without exhaustive details (which is virtually impossible) on what exactly went wrong and how you felt will frustrate you more because most people here will not get the full picture but still try to help. Only you know every issue and how you...
  3. Looking Stupid Waiting for the Unlock !!!!!

    There seems to be an issue with the BT on some of the cars while others work just fine. My R1S will blink the rear break light when I'm about 20-30 feet away and open the doors when I'm 3-5 feet away. I usually keep my phone (iPhone 15) in either my front trouser pocket or suit breast pocket...
  4. EV Incentives ending on Sept 30? Any workaround?

    Not easy, but definitely needs the focus to be more on QC. I was hoping the R1 lessons would trickle down to the R2 and the quality improve. Cheers.
  5. EV Incentives ending on Sept 30? Any workaround?

    So, the Lexus of EVs. I like your idea. It solves the SC wait time etc by focusing more on quality at the source. Brilliant!
  6. Delivery to Disaster: My Rivian Broke Down in Less Than 24 Hours

    OP-that is absolutely horrible. I know it's very frustrating but I would politely escalate and document as much as possible. This may not make you feel better but whenever I have had issues, Rivian has stepped up. All the best.
  7. Firmware Update Issue, Rivian Stuck on 2023.06.02 in Kazakhstan

    I admire your attitude. I wish everyone had that. Sad to see you part ways with your Rivian but love the Tycan. I actually cross shopped that when I got my R1. All the best to you.
  8. R1 Quad Launches July 8th with TANK TURN / KICK TURN!

    I'll second that because I cant figure out what I'd use the TT for.
  9. Discount Tire failed to use jack pucks

    This is interesting. This is similar to removing the plastic panels when you have running boards.
  10. 2400 Miles Road Trip

    Great CX would be Rivian doing a quick online search for you and text you the nearest locations.
  11. 2400 Miles Road Trip

    Dean-glad you made it. I always plan a back up to the intended charging destination. Rivian should give better advice but that's the state of customer service in the US. Every time I go to Japan, it just makes me wish we had something half as good. They are the best as CX.
  12. Positive surprise... 12V battery replaced

    Mobile replaced my original 12v within a day because I had a business trip out of town. That was about 4 months into my ownership. A year later, Rivian called & said they would like to replace the 12v. I explained that it had already been replaced. They explained that it was part of a campaign...
  13. R1S spotted at the US Capitol

    I agree but nothing compared to some of the places I've had the unfortunate luck to drive in overseas.
  14. Tesla "Brain Drain" continues - Top Tesla executive, an Elon Musk confidant, leaves the company

    Agree but not sure he will. He's a brilliantly flawed man. Im not a fan but cant deny what he has achieved. I'm not sure if I had that level of success that I would be able to let go.
  15. Tesla "Brain Drain" continues - Top Tesla executive, an Elon Musk confidant, leaves the company

    Always good to have a VP handy for occasions like these. Seriously though I want Tesla to do well just like I want all American companies to do well. I actually invested in Tesla in the early days. I agree that Elon has his fair share of blame for the decline but it's also a lot to do with BYD...
  16. R1S spotted at the US Capitol

    Nice to see a Rivian anywhere. While I dont live in DC, I've driven (rentals) there a bit and dont find it any worse than most major cities.
  17. Official content: R2 | Inside the First Builds and Proving Grounds

    I knew it was only a matter of time before they arrived here.
