  1. Help! Uncomfortable In Seat!

    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...
  2. R1S Impressions @ 500mi

    Nice write-up and you can turn off auto-lock and unlock by changing the settings on your Rivian. I set mine to auto-lock at home but no unlock.
  3. Cabin Wind Noise - 2024 Rivian R1S

    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...
  4. What insurance companies are you all using?

    USAA, Virginia, $585 /6 months bundled with home and 2 other cars.
  5. All 4 Rivian battery packs usable kWh capacity posted (Standard vs Standard+ vs Large vs Max)

    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.
  6. All 4 Rivian battery packs usable kWh capacity posted (Standard vs Standard+ vs Large vs Max)

    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…
  7. R1S Unreasonably Fragile Roof Glass

    Sorry to hear that....... but you know it is not covered under warranty because the roof glass is not meant for weight-bearing with an elbow.
  8. Why doesn't auto climate control recirculate

    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...
  9. The great Chicago Tesla debacle has defeated my father in-law's Rivian ideas... [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    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...
  10. Problems keep piling up. I'm starting to smell a lemon

    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...
  11. Delivery nightmare - please help!

    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.
  12. Really long Service Issue

    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...
  13. Rivian deposit refund refusal

    Yeah... sorry for your loss but we cannot just walk away from legal obligations whenever we want.
  14. "Compact spare tires will be available to order in summer of 2023" NOT!

    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...
  15. Charging at Big Meadow at Shennandoah National Park

    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...
  16. What'd you name / nickname your Rivian?

    Mine is Rivi for my R1S and Rivi Mom for the charger.. ;)
  17. The best computer on wheels ever…

    Ocean Coast and dark wood…. No off roading plan yet. It is too pretty to go for off roading yet :)
  18. ? GLACIER WHITE R1S Photos

    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.
