  1. Ineos Grenadier drive event

    I don't need anything as hard core as the Grenadier, but the new Defender has me really tempted. I wouldn't trade my Rivian in on it, but my Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Moab Edition. I absolutely love my Jeep though and the ability to open the roof up. I'm also a bit nervous about long term...
  2. DC Fast Charging Warning

    Once I was accused of spreading FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) on this forum. But, Rivian excels at that themselves with these random error messages. In the previous firmware I was getting Driver+ unavailable randomly on startup. A few versions prior I was getting "service suspension soon"...
  3. Rivian Adventure Network: What's been your experience so far?

    Great so far. I am a bit nervous about Happy Valley Oregon as that's the charger I'll use the most, but Rivian seems to enabled any CCS vehicle to charge there for free so I'm anticipating that it will get busier as word gets out. Free is hard for people to resist.
  4. Diminished real range 14 months in

    I wish there was a way to completely blocklist a charging location in the Nav. Kelso is the one I'd block. It's perfectly situated but it's either half broken most of the time or full.
  5. Diminished real range 14 months in

    I'm a bit confused because of the diminished real world range. Did you do this 100% to 0% test when you got the vehicle? In my experience with my R1T I'm generally happy with the real world range during the late spring and summer and unhappy with it during the fall/winter. The cold, and the...
  6. Drive Cam caught my game of chicken

    Is this some new tik-tok challenge? I likely would have gotten out of the vehicle to go check on them after a 15-30 seconds of the standoff. The only explanation I have is they're from country who drives on the left side, and they were momentarily confused.
  7. Updated Powered Tonneau & Manual Tonneau Bed Covers Coming Mid-Summer! RJ Shows Off in First-Look Video

    I wonder if I can trade my non-broken one with someone with a broken one? :P Maybe someone who doesn't know about the replacement coming out.
  8. Updated Powered Tonneau & Manual Tonneau Bed Covers Coming Mid-Summer! RJ Shows Off in First-Look Video

    Actually my biggest reason for wanting the cover was to keep idiots from throwing garbage into my truck.
  9. Connectivity Issues

    I had this same issue and aside from not having any kind of GPS/Streaming/etc the vehicle was just fine. I had no issues charging at any fast charger. The only remaining related issue is the Nav does that weird slight rotation thing from time to time which I find annoying, but I haven't...
  10. R1T 17,000 mile review & accessory discussion

    Happy doesn't mean there isn't problems. It simply means that whatever problems one has with their vehicle doesn't impact how they talk about IRL to people who ask them about their vehicle. Heck I don't even tell my girlfriend all the glitches the vehicle has. I just gloss over them because...
  11. Launch mode not as good after update

    To me its a win-win if the only thing they did was change the acceleration ramp. If its just as quick to 60mph than what difference does it really make? Isn't it more important to have fewer mechanical issues than a "seat in the pants feeling"? The biggest issue I have with my R1T is the...
  12. Horn - Needs work!

    My 2018 Sprinter Van has absolutely the worst horn I've ever experienced on a vehicle. It's more of a "I hate to bother you" Eh sound then an actual horn. I imagine Germans are used to people being generally good drivers, but that's absolutely not the case in the US. It certainly isn't the...
  13. Is it just me or did the odometer page drop off after the newest software update?

    I'd like those as well as the ability to set the left efficiency in 5, 15, and 30 mile increments. Right now its just 15min.
  14. Destroyed my R1T front strut. Suspension airbag exploded. Common or rare? (PICS)

    This one is a hard one because often times aggressive driving of some type is what exposes manufacturing defects. On the flip side manufactures have protect themselves against extremely abuse driving behaviors that significantly reduce the lifetime of parts. They also have to protect themselves...
  15. Destroyed my R1T front strut. Suspension airbag exploded. Common or rare? (PICS)

    I think its going to be a little hard to prove the off-road durability of the R1T due the high repair cost, and high cost of the vehicle. Who in their right minds is actually going to abuse an R1T? Sure a few people, but not nearly the number of people willing to drive a Toyota through hell...
  16. Rivian was top non-Tesla EV sold in Colorado in April 2023

    Not much of a surprise as only a 4x4 Camper Van is more Colorado than a Rivian.
  17. R1T vs. Ram TRX

    This feels like one of those best of the old versus best of the new kind of questions. Back when I got my First Tesla I was doing a similar comparison, but now I refuse not to have an EV. I still have a Jeep for when that makes sense, but the R1T is a great EV for general purpose use. It's...
  18. Ford’s EV division is still losing about $60,000 on each vehicle it sells

    At one point Ford had a pretty good sized investment in Rivian so obviously Ford would be rooting for Rivian. As to Ford specifically I don't think I'll ever buy one, but its hard not to root for a company who is trying to give customers want they want. Electric Truck that does Truck stuff...
