This exactly. I really don't comprehend how people think. If electricity is all out, everyone's screwed, no matter where, unless you got a horse buggy.
It's been 4 months and 3500 miles on my R1S. Love the vehicle, the kids prefer it over Tesla (and this is without any streaming as well).
We took it for camping (did an overnight sleep in the car - drained 8 miles over an 8 hour period, climate set to 77). Used the outlets for cooking...
Thinking of getting the Stealth wrap on El Cap Granite as well - if done through Rivian, do I get a loan car? Assuming it will take 5-7 days? Can anyone advise who's done this?
I charge at home, once a week. That's all I need unless I have a long trip planned.
Will change settings to moderate/soft and Standard ride height to see if the ride comfort is better. Thank you for the suggestions.
Hello fellow Rivian owners.
As I continue breaking into my new R1S and look forward to taking it out for more adventure oriented trips, wanted to seek some advise.
1. What is the best setting for daily driving?
- I currently have the ride height to lowest (mostly city driving and weekend...
Its been 3 weeks with the R1S Performance Dual Motor 21in Road Tires and wanted to share my thoughts and some feedback with you all - please share any suggestions or tips/tricks based on what I share.
Driving has been excellent, it is my daily driver, mostly city/township roads. Been on the...
Thanks for that info. So I don't need to do it immediately? Can wait until the tire rotation?
Also, do you know if there are any Rivian Owners Club or something in our area.
Thanks for the suggestions!
Oh yea, my offroading would be very beginner type - some rocks, fireroads. Nothing extreme. I do plan to get the OEM 20 inch wheel and all-terrain tires for offroading,. but wanted to check how capable the Road tires are.
Got delivery of my R1S finally, after more than 2 years of the initial reservation. R1S Performance Dual Motor 21inch wheels.
So far loving it, panel gaps are negligible, (not too picky about it), but much better than the ones on my Model Y and no metal scraping. So not too bothered about it...
So thankful for all the insights provided. Been waiting for this since 2022, and I am all ready to start driving.
Will keep in the mind the tips and the checklist.
thank you, this is very helpful. to confirm, (spoiler - I am very bad with electrical specs _ i know i need to get better going forward owning 2 EVs lol).
My current charge on the Model Y tops at 32A. That should be fine for the Rivian as well - correct?
And the J1772 adapter, I can just plug...
After more than 2 years, my R1S is finally almost here. Taking delivery next week.
R1S owners, please provide me with a checklist on what to inspect, check, ask questions about during the process. Considering my nearest service center is 90 miles away, won't be a quick fix for me if anything...
Getting my R1S in a month, giving up the Model 3. Need a proper SUV and too damn impressed by R1S, initial reviews, owner reviews, and everything about it.
BUT - have stumbled across bad experiences, poor reviews, and the most recent battery dead issues. Not sure if I should consider my...
