We use our Model Y charging cord to charge both of our BEV’s. I simply use a charging adapter when plugging in our R1T. I leave the Rivian charging cable in the frunk. The Tesla Supercharging network is awesome. In almost 2.5 years we have only encountered one Supercharger that was non operational.

Tesla Superchargers are going to get very crowded.

I’ve had my R1T in for service 2x at the CM SC. Both appointments were 8-weeks out. They have outgrown the building and that’s with adding an additional shift for technicians. They do seem to have gotten deliveries down to a science however.

Me? I would ask for a full refund or replace it with a 3rd truck.

In January R1T‘s we’re selling for around $80k. Right now R1T’s are selling in the mid $70’s. They are on a downward trend. I watch every R1T sale on Cars & Bids and BAT.

I feel your frustration. Are you past the 7-day return window?

I feel that finding the root cause of the annoying noise would be rather simple. The fix may involve something more complex however. I wouldn’t want a SC tech tearing apart my brand new dash or battery pack to fix the issue.

Holy shiit!!! That would make the owner of any $80k vehicle doubt their purchase decision.

$1800 is crazy pricing for 4 slats and a storage bag. Rivian missed an huge opportunity. They could have designed the slats to do double duty as a camp table. I can guarantee that the aftermarket/entrepreneur will soon offer folding legs that will turn the slat(s) into an awesome camping table.

Simply looking at the caliper and badges will differentiate a Dual from a Quad Motor. I can see a lot of Dual Motor owners swapping emblems and painting their calipers yellow.

Sorry to hear. Me? I would have returned the vehicle within the 7-day purchase window for a full refund. That annoying sound is simply unacceptable.

It’s interesting that it’s a known issue on the R1S but not the R1T. From my understanding the drivetrains are identical.

$450 per panel seems a bit steep. What are the panels made of? Composite or aluminum?

I hope Canoo survives treading water. I really like their pickup truck. It's a 21st century version of the iconic air-cooled Single Cab VW.

I absolutely one pedal driving. It's one of the joys of owning a Rivian.

Rivian is a new company and struggling in certain areas. I feel exterior fit and finish is one area that needs improvement, especially at the new price point.

Go with your gut. It’s rarely wrong. My opinion? At the “old” pricing I felt the Quad motor R1T with the no charge Ocean Coast interior was a decent value. I never would have purchased my R1T under the new Rivian pricing structure. It’s simply too expensive for what you get.

I fully agree. Only so many consumers can afford to purchase a $75k + vehicle with current interest rates. Once all of the pre-March 2022 reservation holders get their vehicles we will see a real slump in demand.

The government is butting in on Tesla charging adoption. More to follow. https://electrek.co/2023/06/09/white-house-throws-cold-water-tesla-nacs-victory/

Interesting. I have had 3 service visits at the CM SC. All of them were 8-weeks out.
