So my (Gen2 owner) feed today was 100% R2. New kid in the block getting all the attention, and time for Gen2 to be like what Gen1 felt just 2yrs ago. Feature delivery will slow down, sales volume will be down as well. Not complaining - I have been on that experience with the Model S too :)...
Something that institutional investors know and hence selling, but retail investors (like some of us) don’t?
I am not reading any bad news on early R2 quality or volume or cost issues.
We have both Teslas (M3, MY, had MS before - and love them) and a R1T Gen2 (love it). Our family friends have only Teslas (M3 and MX). Their kids are blown away with R1's looks, presence. They bought a R1S for one day but returned it next day and immediately purchased and picked up a MY. Their...
I have searched a bit and with many pages to look for, wasn't getting to the point. So pinging the community for latest advice on rotations? I am putting 5 new tires (for spare as well). Wondering if I should do the 5-tire rotation policy, or 4-tire (most common) and leave the spare in the...
$2000 for the full set. Local pickup please. San Francisco Bay Area.
22inch factory range wheels with 275/50/22 factory Pirelli All Season tires. Set of 4. No scratch or curb rash or any other blemishes. Never removed the aero covers. Sharp handling & responsive, very quiet tires, pretty good...
Seems to be significantly cheaper ($299) than other options out there ($1,500+), and very good reviews - for other trucks. Any R1T owners that have experience with this system? How much clearance do we loose etc.d

so my wife's Model Y (2022) got the Grok update, and when I drive occasionally, I am fully conversing with this assistant...including using it's Language Assistant feature to learn Spanish - and it feels like a real human on the other side engaging me - including pausing for me to drive the...
I want to post a positive experience with Rivian service.
The issue:
My Gen2 R1T Dual Max dropped Rivian Fast Charge speed to 9kW (with cooling fans running loud) after 60% SOC during my road trip from LA back to SFO (onward journey the previous day had no such issues). When I stopped the...
Here is one in Bay Area 101 / Bernal exit, 32 total I think v4 chargers with max 325kW support. They have the long cable (known) + their placement allows for both back-in and pull-in methods. Some pics.
I was happy with the charging speeds I got at all the fast charging locations in that one day when I went San Jose to LA and returned the same day.
R1T Gen2 Dual Max Nov built (delivery in Dec). System version: 2024.51.31.
Temp was nice 50-75deg throughout the day.
Rivian Buttonwillow at...
* outside temp 41F. Inside temp 72F when I reached work. So it's at steady state 72F.

* Turned off AC.
* Charge rate showed 16miles/hour.
* turned on AC. Waited for heating to settle (1min-2mins).
* charge rate showed 12miles/hour.

Through my own experience - and getting help in this community and google search to understand lease math, rent charges, early buyout cost etc - I combined my knowledge gained in the last month into this google sheet. It's read-only, so to plug in your numbers, pls download/save locally and play...
The wheels & tires have exactly 1K miles now (less than a month old as of Jan 8 2025) on my 2025 Gen2 R1T. They will likely get another 2K Miles by the time the Atomic 20in AWD wheels+Tires I am ordering will arrive (end of February, 2025 estimate). In my limited drive, I am getting about...
Ski trip within 3 days of delivery - after all, its an adventure vehicle - no point babying it in the garage...that said, it came with full front protection film from factory, and soon I will be Twrapping (thank you @twraps for all the help with email and fast shipping) some other parts of the...
So with Gen1 R1T with Max Pack, the penalty from 21 -> 22in wheel is 30miles. 410miles with 21in, and 380 miles with 22.
With Gen2 R1T Max Pack with 22in is 420 miles. I wonder if Rivian kept the 21in wheel as an option, could we see a range approaching 450miles on Max Pack? Couldn't that be...
Appreciate any pointers on a website/calculator for auto lease - where I can reverse-engineer to get to the rent (interest amount) from other data I have. Edmunds came close but didn’t get me the breakdown of the monthly (principal, and rent/interest). Rivian delivery guy didn’t have that split...
