  1. Tesla trade-ins data

    Read this on a Hugf Post article. As Tesla CEO Elon Musk implores his employees not to sell their stock even though “it feels like Armageddon,” Tesla owners are trading in their vehicles at record levels. That’s according to data tracked by the U.S. car shopping website Edmunds, which found...
  2. 2025 Gen2 R1S Defects, Issues and Questions

    Yes, those are some very wide tires. And the wider tires are the more they follow little grooves and impressions in the road and will feel like they’re wandering, but will ultimately track straight. Of course, the issue that you are having which is the same as on my model S is that you have the...
  3. 2025 Gen2 R1S Defects, Issues and Questions

    What tires do those wheels come with and what’s the width? I note on my Model S that with the smaller wheels and tires on it sticks to its lane, But with the original larger wheel and those tires it tends to wander. In other words it’s not a toe-in issue or anything but a wheel size and shape...
  4. Just bought a R1S Dual Max Battery today - Former Tesla Owner - Which charger adapters recommended?

    Electron for home for my Tesla wall charger to the rivian. Lectron Tesla to J1772 EV... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09DCTJCTV?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share A2Z one for supercharger connection.
  5. Thuren Fabrication wheels with Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 winter tires.

    Looks good. I went with the Cross climates on my Model Y. Need to figure out what to do on the R1S. The CCs were great in the Truckee snow, not noisy on the road and don’t seem to affect range at all!
  6. It fits!

    Never been a fan of extended warranties. Overall, for most people, they are not worth it. I had ChatGPT analyze the contract for issues and here is what she said: Many Common Wear Items Are Excluded The contract explicitly excludes: Tires, wheels, brakes, brake pads/rotors, bulbs, 12V...
  7. DIY removing center console buttons and flaps?

    Just got my R1S Dual Max yesterday. On pickup last week the AC blew and while they were fixing that they were "meant" to also fix one of the two buttons that opens the center console. They didn't. Basically clicking it does nothing. I also noted yesterday that the passenger side flap does not...
  8. Average Rivian Insurance in California

    Not a specific number, but i removed my 2020 MY yesterday and added in my 2025 R1S Dual Max and my insurance dropped $1000 a year. Its now only $18k a year!! 6 cars, 4 kids, 2 cars in SD which is expensive.
  9. R1S Delivery/Pickup went sideways in a hurry

    Wrapping up...the car was ready Friday evening. I was told service would call me that evening or the next day. Neither happened. Kept messaging the service manager and he kept apologizing and telling me he would have service call me. Didn't happen. Finally yesterday they called and told me they...
  10. [Un-Resolved again!] Why am I doing this to myself - long time Rivian customer close to giving up.

    Where are you getting all this drive data? Is that from within the truck on the main screen or from the App? Sorry - noob here.
  11. Tesla nefarious behavior?

    Well.....this is an interesting thread. 1. While discourse on all things EV and on self driving systems is of course warranted, im not sure what poking holes in teslas system is going to achieve on a Rivian forum. Does it move any ball forward? 2. Its obvious there are a lot of people on this...
  12. R1S Delivery/Pickup went sideways in a hurry

    Agree - i have friends with a Ford Explorer. They had a recall 9 months ago or so for the trim strips at each side of the windshield. She took it in to get them replaced, and they of course removed the existing trim pieces. But woops - they didn't have replacements. And so she has been driving...
  13. Liftgate Height Memory

    As i do with almost everyting these days, i just asked ChatGPT. Now your job is to go and test it and report back...:-) Manually Adjusting the Liftgate Stop Height Open the Liftgate Press the liftgate button on the key fob, inside the vehicle, or on the liftgate itself. Manually Adjust to...
  14. Can we start waving???

    Indeed. One should celebrate being alive every morning when you wake up. No day is guaranteed. And hopefully driving EVs is doing a small part to make sure our kids have a better and longer life down the road. To be clear, I will be waving at every Rivian I see, just to celebrate being in an...
  15. Can we start waving???

    Note that as a previous owner of a Jeep, where this whole "waving" business started (and i guess with motorcycles - which i also ride), the reason for the waving is not why you would want to be waving in a Rivian. Really all those Jeep wavers are saying to each other "Yes, i never take my...
  16. Can we start waving???

    The most interesting about this thread is people reporting on the number of Rivian’s in different parts of the country. It’s probably a good predictor of which areas are rich and liberal. Interestingly I live in the bay area, just south of Los Gatos, and while there are 4-5 Rivian’s in just my...
  17. 2025 R1S TriMax Ascend -- best car I've ever owned, except for the range.

    Ok I’ll bite. What’s the 15 minute performance window? And for battery temp is that in service mode or are you talking about something else? I wonder if your battery heating system is malfunctioning. So your battery is never getting warm. I had this happen on my Model S when a main pump failed...
  18. LIDAR vs Camera self-driving tests

    I think most of you, on both sides of the argument, missed the point. And that is that a camera system can be tricked into thinking one thing, when a totally different thing is actually going on. And thats the weakness. The fact that he demonstrated this with a painted wall is neither here nor...
  19. R1S Delivery/Pickup went sideways in a hurry

    Well to be fair the AC worked great for about 10 minutes...and then it failed. So this was probably just a bad part or a bad install that wasn't going to get caught until enough refrigerant leaked out.
  20. R1S Delivery/Pickup went sideways in a hurry

    Went to the south san fran pickup location on Utah avenue, near the airport, to pick up our new R1S Dual Max. We live in San Jose but they wanted to charge $350 to move the vehicle from SF to SJ so we just uber-ed up to pick it up. Check out went well - only thing i could find wrong was the...
