Most things in my life are function over form but not cars. The look and appeal of a vehicle is what drives me to purchase. Yes it needs the other functional things but if it is not appealing I won't touch it. considering what Ferrari just unveiled I am in the 'Not touch it' camp. It just...

Just sharing my experience. Yesterday my R1S needed service. The drivers door handle was not working properly, light and card reader malfunctioning. Additionally the last software update refused to install on my vehicle. I contact service, got an appointment within 3 days of inquiring...

Last night we get back into the Green Machine (our Gen2 R1S) at JFK airport after a week away. While charging we looked through some gear guard videos. Gary really does an amazing job showing the people pulling in next to us and ensuring I can always see if someone touches the vehicle. But to...

Just wanted to share that the Green Machine was in service for 2 days because of the headlight recall and a tire rotation. Rivian service took care of me and provided me with a Durango as a loaner. Having driven the Durango for the last two days I was really missing my R1S. I know its more...

Just finished moving our son into his Sophomore year at college, so was charging my Rivian at the hotel garage and bam, Triple R1S. Interesting discussion I just had with the wife though. The blue was there before me charging away, I pulled up in the Green Machine and plugged in. When I went...

People like to complain more than compliment but I tend to be the opposite. The new Iselin service center is perfect. This location was originally intended to open in Summer of 23 but due to township requirements lots of things had to change (like an deeper concrete pad in the shop area)...

I know a lot has been made about charge port location but wanted to share this photo. I am in Boston to pick my son up from college. In the campus garage they have chargers. They are located on the down slope near the exit. The cables are plenty long to reach any location on a vehicle in the...

I have had my Gen1 QM R1S since Feb-23, and have loved it. Last week Rivian made me an offer I just couldn't refuse, I jumped at it and replaced my Forrest Green Gen1 with this: Tri-Motor Gen2 R1S, picked it up Tuesday. Amazing trade in value for my R1S, great rebates just perfect. A few...

Yesterday I brought my R1S into the Trenton service center for the first time. It was due for its 2 year service, tire rotation and I was having issue with the card keys. I didn't take any pictures because this site is temporary and nothing special. I have to say once again I am thrilled with...

I was in Reston Virginia last week and came across this Mercedes charger. 12 400kw chargers with an amazing design. Tap your card and pick your port, charge away. Not only were the cables supported by a retractable cable but a moving metal arm above the charger. Genius design and it worked...

I picked up my R1S (Green Machine) 2 years ago today. This was our first EV but was 100% ready to go for it. Before I picked it up I had a JuiceBox installed hooked up to a NEMA 14-50 outlet. 2 weeks after taking delivery we drove to Boston from central NJ for college tours, even getting hit...

It's Monday January 6th at 10:53AM EST how come Rivian has announced and started shipping the new Quads? They said beginning of 2025, which it has already begun. This really pisses me off, hopefully the stock will take a hit from the major drop on their part...... I really wish there was a...

Just put 4 new tires on my R1S in October, today a screw ended the life of that tire mighty quickly. It was deemed too close to the sidewall for repair. Time to test out Tirerack.com's road hazard warranty.

I know Rivian states Discount tire and American tire are authorized but they are no where near me in Central NJ. Mavis Tire would be awesome but they are not working on EVs or only specific ones based on my inquires. I spoke with Rivian and they stated this is a mobile service appointment and...

It's been 18k miles so time to replace the wipers. Front were pretty straight forward but I can't get the back blade off. I don't want to break it and hear it from the wife. Is there a trick I am missing here? I pull the arm away from the glass and push the blade back towards to glass, nothing.

I have been told for more than 18 months now that the Edison and Trenton locations are a top priority and opening any day now. I love my Rivian, would buy one again. However going to Brooklyn for service is not manageable at all. It takes forever to get there and back and is ridiculous. At...

Just got the email to opt-in for the Rivian official NACS adapter.

My son just spotted this R1T on the Drexel campus in Philly.

Well it happened, after a ridiculously terrible week, ran over something this morning and punctured my first R1S tire. Only took 13 months but what can you do. This was a bad one, went from 'No big deal' to 'pull over now'. I have never used Tireject and getting it installed was a stressful...

I hit the 5k mark on my R1S and would like to get the tires rotated. No way am I going to Brooklyn for this. Anyone know of a local NJ tire shop that does this stuff on Rivian's. Thanks
