  1. Newsweek Executive of the Year 2025: RJ Scaringe!

    Mostly recycled, but nothing puffy in my mind (great pics though), pretty straightforward look at what he went through so far with Rivian.
  2. [Debunked by ABRP] Rivian R2 / R3 / R3X Range Figures & Powertrains

    I have a Y and an R1T and both will do well when the R2 deliveries begin. While I think people might cross shop between Rivian, Tesla, VW, Hyunda, Kia, Etc.... each brand offers a slightly different focus and will do well in the EV space as R2/R3 come online along with Scout somewhat later. In...
  3. Rivians spotted in new Long Way Home series

    They gave Rivian a big chance on one of their other trips as support vehicles. Many years later they were finally available for purchase and the primary reason I grabbed an R1T. Charging it by pulling it behind a tractor trailer was epic and I've always wanted to try that with mine.
  4. They took my $500 now what?.... How will this blind date end?

    The olden days of dozens of same model same make on the lot to choose from and take home today are pretty much gone with vehicles in demand. With Rivian and some others, the deposit is for a car yet to be built or secured in your name. This part is akin to buying a Porsche 718/911, albeit you...
  5. "The Straight Pipes" guys hammer the R1S (Gen 2) for 30 minutes straight

    They pretty much sumsit up or at least AI did from their video. Nothing strikes me as completely off base but their conclusions are obviously opinion only. Just a rehash of the rehash of the rehash of every Rivian review stated differently. Glad I didn't watch as I've seen too many reviews...
  6. Rear Ended - Thankful for R1T Safety

    Buy the biggest heaviest vehicle you can afford has been my motto for 3 decades. Being injured or dying from stupidity like this is not an option for my family. Wife was rear ended at a stop sign in a Chrysler Pacifica (Mercedes R Class) by a rental Sebring Convertible. <$1000 damage to...
  7. 25% Tariffs on All Imports - Effect on Rivian prices?

    100% right, they will just bring in less as less will be sold at the higher prices.
  8. 25% Tariffs on All Imports - Effect on Rivian prices?

    As everyone already knows, there is no manufacturing in the US in any meaningful way. No-one is investing in either building it or reopening it. There aren't any workers for any type of skilled manufacturing save the auto industry anymore and no-one is going to school for things that don't...
  9. 25% Tariffs on All Imports - Effect on Rivian prices?

    Every manufacturer/wholesaler/retailer did some type of analysis today on the additional Tariff costs on parts/materials/finished goods. They estimated the value of the April 3-EOY expected imports and calculated the Tariff by item by country. The strategy on how companies will respond is...
  10. 9 days into ownership r1s trimax, not impressed

    Welcome aboard, you got a normal one.
  11. R1S Collision Repair Ordeal

    Completely understand, I'm out at the first sign of this type of inconvenience, it's just a vehicle after all.
  12. 115 XL vs 116 HL tires in 275/50/22

    Sorry but this place has really just become thread after thread posted just to get a reaction. Another stupid stupid idea on ignore.
  13. Are You a Pure Rivian Only Household?

    Rivian, Tesla, Ford Maverick and Lexus GX. No way the Wife or the kids would allow all the same vehicle in the house. Future Rivian R2 or Scout or Hyundai in 2027-2028.
  14. Switch to Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 from Pirelli Scorpion 275/55 R21

    I've driven almost 400K miles on Defender in multiple vehicles (lexus SUV's) and they are fantastic tires. I've always gotten 60-70K on each set, rotated every 5K and they still prorate any amount under 70K (discount tire). FWIW one of the vehicles was 1 15 LX570 @ 6K pounds so close to Rivian...
  15. First RAN Gen 1.5 charger conversions

    FROM AI Rivian's next-generation "RAN 1.5" charging dispensers are designed to be open to all EVs, featuring rapid battery replenishment using a 900-volt electrical architecture and native CCS connectors, with adapters available for vehicles with North American Charging Standard ports. Here's...
  16. Update 2025.06 on a Dual Motor w/ Performance Package purchased & unlocked.

    500hp isn't a lot HUH? 3.5 second 0-60 is supercar territory regardless in a 7000lb truck.
  17. Update 2025.06 on a Dual Motor w/ Performance Package purchased & unlocked.

    After having my Dual Motor Performance Large R1T for over a year and just shy of 20K miles, I can say I've never used full send in any mode more than once or twice. 500+HP at full throttle is dizzyingly fast, 600+, 800+, 1000+ is faster, but OMG where are you folks flooring your Rivian to use...
  18. Leases got worse today!!

    RJ's got to make money at some point and reducing giveaways/subsidies is a good place to start.
