Medical professional and R1S owner here. Everyone’s lower back issues are different. I suggest you to adjust in all different settings and positions until you feel comfortable. The key is finding the most ergonomic seat settings for your back. The R1S seat is one of the most comfortable seats I...
Yup… I am doing my own quality control….. out of the first visit with close to 20 issues, SC resolved 15…. During the service, they created 3 problems (paint imperfections and damages) and 2 of the old issues (door misalignment) starting again. So waiting for second appointment. :) still the...
Make sure you do preconditioning and plugged in overnight before driving in the morning . Then you will see minimal range loss. Rivian does really good job on cold weather unless your are driving in -30 to 50.
Is Rivian using LFP batteries for standard pack? Then price will be lower….. but I will never buy an EV with LFP…. EVs with LFP batteries are disastrous because it cannot be recycled and it will have 40-50% range reductions during winter…
Think about what happed when you turn your ICE car’s engine off and stayed in your car…. What happened at the windows when the weather is cold or even hot? Your windows will be foggy with humid air you breathe out. And your car’s interior will be filled with musty odors even be moldy. The system...
No disastrous EV stories from Europe because they know they have EVs, which do get a 20-30% range reduction during cold winter. They maintain battery temp by preconditioning and are aware of weather forecasts and plan accordingly. The problem is people buy EVs in America and drive EVs like gas...
Mine had more than 20 minor problems and the Bodyshop my local SC uses also messed up some paint jobs while doing paint corrections. I understand how you feel. Also, my original floor mat got stretched and fell off. Buy the all-weather floor mat; it is much better. With all these issues, I still...
Sorry to hear that. As long as they have the money, they will give you the car. Mine took 1 month after finishing the whole steps. Of course, it got delayed. But are you sure you sent the money to Rivian? ? You will get it… no big worries.
Mine took 49 days for the service. Exactly the same issues with paint issues and door alignment issues. The bodyshop Gaithersburg SC uses does such a terrible job and the bodyshop messed up other parts of my S. I had to set up an another appointment. I really hope the SC finds another bodyshop...
I think that is a totally acceptable answer but I am also waiting for a spare tire to order. Guides are replying back in a way they were trained to do—no hard feelings for them. If I recall, I used my spare only once for the past 20 years of daily driving. When I had low air in my tires, I went...
I had a quick trip to Shennandoah National Park and stopped at several overlooks and Big Meadow visitor center. I wanted to try the EV charging station there. The Big Meadow area had a gas station but support for EV charging was not sufficient. Anyway, I tried this free charger; here are my...
Just picked up my R1S on last Sat. It is the best vehicle ever built. After experiencing my R1S, Tesla cars on the road became an eye sore for me. ;) Electric car industry perhaps be defined A.R. (After Rivian) and B.R. (Before Rivian). It is One Way after Rivian and no turning back.
