Anyone out there install the Nokian HAKKAPELIITTA 10 SUV winter tires on their R1S? If so I'd be keen to hear from you on what you think. I have an appointment to get these installed on Wednesday.

Has anyone come across a detailed overview of what the different driving modes actually do? This question has a bit more to it than it may appear at first glance. I've heard in various reviews/posts from conversations with Rivian folks that in certain modes power is restricted to X% for...
Over the past several weeks I've had the opportunity to take our R1S on a number of 'adventures' on some pretty rough back roads here in Washington State so I figured I would share a short review of my experiences. I'd estimate about 100-150 miles or so of driving in what most people would...
Had the opportunity to go for a beautiful drive in the Pacific Northwest with the family and pooch today. Stopped for lunch at a place with a sloped parking lot. Wanted to make sure pooch was as comfy as possible while we went inside and ate so fired up camp mode auto leveling and turned on pet...
Today I had an opportunity to give the cargo capacity of the R1S a bit of a test. Did some yard cleanup and needed to make a trip to the local transfer station to get rid of some stuff. Perhaps not the most glorious duty for such a noble vehicle but certainly a practical one. Once again the...
This post is a follow up to a couple of other posts that I've made in my month or so of R1S ownership (see below if interested in previous takeaways etc.)...
Thoughts after Day 1 of R1S Ownership
R1S Shakedown and Road Trip
I'm now at about 2500 miles of use in my R1S, with a combination of...
All of this is a available in the user manual, but a bit hard to find. Here are a few pointers on defogging, defrosting and also the side mirrors.
Defog vs Defrost
The front windows actually have multiple settings. Tap the front window defrost icon once for defog only. The icon will...
After having my R1S for about a week I finally got a chance to take it on an honest to goodness road trip complete with dog, family members, luggage etc. This was a trip from Seattle, WA to Vancouver, BC and back (call it 150 miles each way give or take) so a pretty good 'shake down' trip for...
Hi there,
I have yet to charge our R1S on a public charger but am planning a road trip this weekend. I remember when I set up the app it asked me to 'link my account' to ChargePoint (I think). For those of you who have had your Rivian's for a while I'm wondering how this actually works in the...
Others have done a great job of providing detailed reviews of their vehicles so I won't attempt that here. Instead I'll just give a few thoughts for those who are still awaiting delivery.
Background
Took delivery of my R1S yesterday. LE, 22' Sport Brights w Underbody. First EV so my...
Dumb question alert. I've seen lots of threads discussing the different tire options. Is there anything preventing someone from taking one set of tires from the factory (say 22 inch sport brights) and then simply buying an alternative set of rims and tires as a backup? (Ie the ats for...
If you are like me then the prospect of getting dog hair all over your brand new cargo area and rear seat backs is not a welcome one. I've been looking for options and they are few and far between. Another forum member posted about a company called Canvasback https://www.canvasback.com/ that...
I'm an early R1S reservation holder (though not day 1) with an August/September delivery date. Like many in this forum I've been patiently waiting through the many unpredictable delays that are associated with a new car company bringing a disruptive product to market.
A few days ago I was...
For those of you who have already taken delivery of the R1T and who purchased the underbody shield. Does this look like a part that can be 'bolted on' after taking delivery of the vehicle or is it one of those where it pretty much needs to be done 'at the factory as the truck is being built. I...
I know that some of the early pre-order holders heard from guides several months ago, but I'm curious to know as we come close to the first 'new delivery dates' (August/September) if anyone has actually heard from guides about there R1S delivery?
Note this is for R1S, not for R1T.
Getting close to August. First deliveries should be contacted soon.
I have an Aug/Sep delivery date but no guide contact. Just for fun I'm going to predict the following...
First delivery date: August 16th
Location: SOCAL
From some of the other threads it sounds like they got their first...
