Hello all, I have owned my R1S since September of 2022, S/n 665. I want to share my experiences and thoughts on ownership from the moment I ordered it to the day I sold it, 6-6-24
As an early adapter, I grew through all of the stages with Rivian. I had. my order canceled when the price increase...
Since the last update, my maps is all messed up. Mainly my location arrow is not even close to be centered. The default view is miles apart as opposed to a more close up view. If I move it, the "recenter" button pops up on the bottom. The only way it seems to work "normally" is when I have a...
I have a Launch edition R1S and after almost a year with it, I am open to selling the vehicle.
It has all of the normal launch edition trim along with 22" wheels.
10K in miles. Ceramic coating and tinting. Selling because I'm not happy with the distance away I am from the El Segundo service...
Greetings all. Backstory, since day 1 my R1S alignment has been wrong. Pulls to the right. Finally 10K miles later, I got it aligned. Then I had to replace the two front tires 22'. $1200 bill of joy for those Pirelli Scorpions.
Ever since I got the SUV back, when I accelerate to between 75-85...
Got my R1S in Sept 22. Its been a wonderful ride for the most part. Delivery at the El Segundo center was ok, I got the first one in the LA area, so the delivery guys were figuring it out along with me.
1. Skip CONSERVE MODE: As I just spent $1200 on two new front tires. Worrying about range, I...
Live in Malibu, have a launch R1S. From day one, it has always pulled to the right. Coming up on 8500 miles (Sept 22 delivery) Need a place to take the truck for tire rotation and alignment. Went to a few of my local places and they don't have the equipment to do the work(alignment) due to how...
Have an R1S xxx665, (early model). Love it. One quirk I noticed is that many times when I get into the vehicle and "start" it the windsheild wiper does a cycle.
I have my windshield wipers set to "auto" and live in SoCal ( we are done with our epic rains now) so does anyone know why? and if so...
Just found out my area of SoCal will be allowing me to charge my Rivian at Tesla superchargers. Tried to deduce what adapter to buy on Amazon, but got a lot of inconclusive results. Anybody bought an adapter? IF so, what model and type did you get and where did you get it from please. Thanks much.
My R1S is on version .39. The new version has been out for a bit now. I cannot seem to get it. Is there a way to “push” the update to load? When I had my Tesla I had premium connectivity which moved me higher up in the que for updates. Not sure how Rivian sequences updates to their vehicles...
R1S in SoCal. Up until today never had a problem with anything. Today, I came back home with 65 miles on the remaining charge. When I went to plug in, the charge door would open only about 10mm. And then it would not open. Went into the car and used the display to open and close but yet again...
Time to take care of my R1S. Looking into window tinting, especially the roof. Tired of cooking eggs on my head.
Trying to find a reputable dealer here is SoCal is a royal pain.
This is what I have been told. Roof to be tinted with Formula 1 Comfort metallic film. (Owner of the shop was NOT a...
I know that I have a lot of hot air coming out of my mouth. I'm in SoCal and I keep the climate control on about 65-68 degrees with a fan speed of 2-3. Not a big "auto" fan. In the mornings when driving I'm seeing my front window fog up. It is a bit humid outside but this is unexpected. It...
Hi all,
Took delivery of my R1S at El Segundo facility. First off, very impressive facility and the employees are super nice and friendly. Scott was my deliver team member. I got there about 45 minutes early for my appt. It was the only S on the lot. Very cool in some stupid way. I walked...
Hi all,
Just got confirmation that my R1 is at the Venice service center. I am going out of the country for a month on the 29th. I am highly motivated to take delivery of my vehicle before I leave. My guide is reaching out to the service center to make them aware of my travel plans. Anyone have...
As deliveries ramp up, some are taking advantage of the law of supply and demand. So my post is all about, would you or wouldn't you sell? I've seen an R1S for $225K (smoking crack if you ask me) to $149K.
Would you see yours? If so, what's your price.
Rivian announced they are on track to meet 25K deliveries for MY2022. It’s also been “confirmed “ that 10K of that is Amazon vans. So of the remaining 15K what’s your best guess of T’s to S’ variants? I’ll start us off with my guess 10K T’s to 5K S version. Winner gets a free factory tour?
Funny when you have NO hope of ever getting your Rivian (drama king) to getting the email that your vehicle is ready. Then the 8 steps email, followed by guide contact and interaction, I've gone thru the gamut of emotions and plans B, C, D. My questions are: 1. Once the vehicle is out on the lot...
Just found out today via chat that I am in Rivian "time out' I am a LE reservation holder. Nov 2020 reservation. When RJ raised the price, I cancelled. when he rescinded the price hikes I came back. I have my order number and on the Rivian website it shows up. Reached out to Rivian via chat and...
Always have a Plan B. Placed an order for a LE R1S, November 2020. Still haven’t received any form of communication from Rivian. Chat’s with the guides online are as useless as a 3$ bill. So I placed a $250 deposit on a launch edition Fisker Ocean. Nov 2021. they are starting production in...
