Stories like these really make it a head scratcher why they didn't put a capacitive touch sensor on the handle so it would immediately wake up the truck when you touch it and unlock, and would remove the need for the settings and adjustments people have to do when it's parked at home.

This doesn't sound like something that could have been caught in a predelivery inspection. It probably worked just fine. It sucks, but it happens. At least OP kept it together and Rivian did their best to make it right. Yes it's a loss for the company, but based on my experience at other EV...

When I say pre-load I mean you're already at, let's say 10-20% throttle and gently accelerating or holding speed before you go WOT. So your foot has dipped into the pedal a little bit already. It seems if you go from 0-100% throttle, there's more of a delayed response. Whether that's to...

I've done a lot of R1S tri motor launches mostly cause I'm a lucky guy. For the strongest "hit" off the line you'll need to be in sport mode, launch control, lowest height, stability off, rear motor temps under 165 degrees (about) Motor temps and suspension height feel like the biggest factors...

Everyone's arguing about this or that, auto steering this, driverless that, and all I can think about is how much I wish for regular dumb cruise control being an option in the setting somewhere. I understand that since everyone is doing it, Rivian has to do it. But I think I'm one of the few...

This is a really nice clean install. Sad you have to do it, but cool nonetheless.

That car over his shoulder looks like an R1S to me. With dark out pack.

Sounds like it has straight cut gears lol

Your safest bet looks like what Mark posted above. That looks like something I'd chance getting under. Lol

Love the Savagegeese. I was expecting worse, but their points are fair. The electronic charge port, handles (and now on Gen2, e-latch), center arm rest, and vents are all unnecessary complications that don't really make the customers' life any better and hurt service centers. I think them...

At this point just hoping to get my money back. Been averaging down and I don't have much palm flesh left from catching these knives. Lol

If an old early 2000s Toyota can do this (speaking from experience with my GX) with ATRAC and no lockers, you'd think the dual motor should have no trouble with far easier torque control versus an ICE powerplant. Still a big head scratcher that they didn't integrate lockers. Seems like a no...

DM seems to uncouple the rear motor at over 20mph, and under the right conditions and throttle input will stay FWD unless slip is detected or you breach a certain threshold of throttle.

It seems easy enough, but I don't think they can/will do that. OP will have to sell separately or figure something else out. Not sure about WA, but in IL you do not get any tax savings if you trade in on a lease, therefore, while it may be more work, it's usually better to sell elsewhere for a...

Rivian leases through Chase, and Chase has an approximate 40% cap cost reduction limit for leases. If your positive equity in the trade in is higher than that, and/or you're also adding additional cap cost redux, you are probably over that limit and they won't be able to do the lease with the...

Just hoping that the losses per vehicle improve, but there probably won't be any significant movement until R2 is successfully putting money in the bank, or R1 platform achieves gross profit. I'm just gonna close my eyes until 2030.

Probably the only way to have a full sized spare that won't impact your interior storage nor range.

Cool and relatively unique style and nice way to use the Scout brand and vibe. Very interested in the live axle stuff, pics look like the motor is mounted to the axle and will move with it. That and lockers and sway bar disco should make it plenty capable. However, I have no doubt this will come...

FWIW, I believe the order agreement states that both the price and options are subject to change.

How fast are you looking to drive? And can the vehicle be plugged in at either end? Not sure any EV beyond a Lucid will make a ~200 mile round trip at 75+ MPH at 10F or lower ambient temps.
