If it's broken enough... Heard a loud pop while driving down a dirt road, then it suddenly felt like I had a flat tire on that corner. Unfortunately not the tire.

I didn't know this was a thing, but apparently it is. Congrats RJ. Rivian Story: https://stories.rivian.com/rj-scaringe-top-gear-ev-influencer-2026 Read the feature in the Apple News+ edition of Top Gear magazine here.

On the chopping block... Goodbye Siri. https://www.macrumors.com/2026/01/12/google-gemini-next-generation-siri/

My R1T is going in for rear damper replacement next week, and they added this FSAM-1380 onto my work order, that I hadn't seen before. Looks like it's very new. RCA-30-25-001-1: Apply Sealant to HV Battery Connectors, R1T and R1S. 2.5 hours of labor. No cost to me since it's still under...

Last night I was having some fun on a dirt road in Rally mode when I suddenly had a turtle pop up in my R1T. It started behaving really strange after that until I realized that it was only powering the front wheels, even though the error said that AWD was permanently engaged. By the way, it's...

Quite strange. Drove on some really nasty washboarded roads on my way home from dinner today. Truck handled them great. Just happened to walk around back and had to WTF about this happening: I've never really had the rack on the truck before, just happened to have it on there because I picked...

Decided to do two swaps at the same time. Putting all season tires on my R1T, and taking the KO2's off my R1T to put on my R1S for this weekend. The Goat Fabrication rail sliders made it trivial to lift both vehicles. Lifted the entire side on both of them with just my Eagle jack. Stuck a jack...

Took my R1T in for service today. It hasn't gotten a lot of use in the last... probably year or so, honestly. Remote access was acting wonky, not working at all, but I just ignored it since I had the physical key (because of taking it into service). After service and after a few stops, I got a...

Saw as high as 305 but didn't get a picture. Most of the people charging at the station were not Rivians. It did error out at some point on my charge though, not sure what the deal was. Stopped with the truck at 56%. No issues after another session.

https://www.jalopnik.com/1860700/2026-gmc-hummer-ev-king-crab-mode-quicker-acceleration/ 0-60 will still be slower than the R1T, but 2.8s is still amazing for a vehicle of that size. Wonder if Rivian will respond with even more power on the Gen2 quad that they haven't officially started...

Been talk of 2026 model years but hadn't seen anyone post these yet. I find it quite curious that the Launch trim code made a return when it went away in 2025. "Entry" went away (not sure they ever used it?) and "Special" is new as well. What's up your sleeves, Rivian? Part of me is...

I think my resident owls might be getting upset at my Rivians.

Lol, oops.

There's been some interest in a more minimal slider for folks that don't need or want the step-up but still want some protection so their door panels don't look like mine do from off-roading before I put sliders on. Adam at GOAT Fabrication has been working on a new rail slider that'll be...

Just noticed this was posted. Looks like Rivian is finally supporting people replacing the cable instead of requiring an entirely new wall charging unit. https://rivian.com/support/article/wall-charger-J1772-cable-replacement-guide

Chase is offering to repurchase Fisker Oceans from people who used them to Finance the vehicles. And they can trade it in for a Rivian. A brief history on this subject for the uninitiated: Hagens Berman is leading arbitration cases against Chase that they might be liable to compensate...
