Definitely don't lock this thread. Rivian should be heavily criticized and praised at the same time. If there wasn't criticism and push back from consumers, they should have gotten away with that BS price hike on preholders. We should absolutely hold them to higher standards otherwise they'll...

I think people are underestimating the capacity of the supercharging network. Right now I would say they average 70% capacity even outside of major cities such as central Washington and eastern Washington. Now imagine doubling the amount of EVs that will be going to these stations. Everyone...

Dual Motor went from 600 HP to 533 Performance went from 700 HP to 665 The value of the vehicle just keeps decreasing and the price just keeps going up

Oh that's definitely true. But its a matter if Rivian wants to do it. Because then people who didn't order it at the time of purchase can now say they want it afterwards. That'll decrease their overall cost and help get tax credits and such. It also opens the door to being able to get other...

Yeah, I'm not sure what to do either because there's no communication as to what the deal with the powered tonneau cover is. They said end of summer which no one believed but it might be too big of a hassle for them to retro add it to already delivered vehicles. They might fix the broken ones...

In the same boat. Keep your head up man! The upside from all this jerking around I'm seeing is that the power tonneau cover will be tested by people first. It was announced that it would come mid summer and its been crickets. Probably come at mid fall based on Rivian's reputation so it'll be...

Yeah and he definitely is taking advantage of it... but rivian doesn't have that branding power or comparable CEO likability. It can only last so long too, considering people are trying to sue Tesla for false advertisement. Now consumers are realizing they should have contested the force...

I can agree with that, in the sense that it would be a good decision in managing expectations and over-delivering when you can. Also from an engineering perceptive you mentioned before, that is absolutely understandable when there is not always a linear correlation when trying to add value and...

I don't trust it. Plan on parking it outside lol. My perspective is that a high percentage, say 90% as an example, of the Rivians are fine but if you fall into the small percentage that are not, then you are so screwed

Yes if that is how you feel. If anything you can order again once there are more reviews with the only thing you have to watch out for is an increase in price. Doubt that would happen since $1800 is already overpriced. Talk to customer support about cancelling the order

Initially advertised as 300+ miles for regular battery pack and 400+ miles for max pack. A 33% increase at a 10k difference in price was worth it. Now its 352 miles for regular battery pack and barely 400 miles for max pack. A 14% increase in range at an even greater difference of 16k is so...

Me too... but Rivian can't even get the tonneau cover right. Even though they can be worked on in parallel, my faith in the company is slowly decreasing with every failure.

What does the 800v architecture have to do with the bidirectional charging? Does this mean the R1's can't do V2X charging?

The video angle/lighting seems too convenient that they took the camera off before the power tonneau cover fully opened. Maybe I've seen too many social media videos but it doesn't show if there is a canister that rolls up the tonneau cover into. With how smooth the sound is, I think that there...

This video looks like it has pretty good quality to me. It may be fish eye lens to a degree but no where near the poor quality of the drive cam

Can everyone do testing on the DashCam? Can you check to see if they are using the same camera as the cameras used for the parking? From 360 cameras parking youtube videos, there is a front, rear, and both sides view with decent quality and I suspect they are using the same camera. It should be...

Glad everything turned out ok OP. A good lesson for all of us to document everything that happens in the first 12k miles

Yeah on your own, you're not going to be able to get the necessary info to fight this unfortunately. You would need to get the history of errors for the vehicle to see if this error happened before and if they just reset the errors to hide until the truck was delivered. Or if the harness problem...

Were you allowed to test drive it before you purchase the vehicle? Your insurance should cover it and it is the insurance's job to go after Rivian to prove damages before purchase or during the period of time they had it in their possession

Did you take that road trip yet?
