I did buy the straps as well. Waiting for Heavy snow to hit South Florida .....

HAahahhah same here. I even bought aggressive tires and "off road" underbody protection and to convince myself I was serious I purchased the off road towing package as well. I had no trouble off roading our 34k Jeep but could not get the brain to approve off roading a 100k vehicle.

I agree !! We should get a $5k paint premium

Manufacturers have lost their way. As a "very Old" car lover and hands on amateur mechanic, I recall being able to purchase a new headlight for 10 dollars. The Rivian light is listed for 3,000 plus dollars. Have not checked everything else, but I would not be surprised to see a 100x increase on...

I am with you on this ... noises without a known source should not be ignored especially if they are getting louder or present themselves under new and different circumstances. I have some front end noise, 2023 R1S, going over speed bumps on the road but not present on other road conditions. I...

I am in the same boat... any idea how many "best colored R1S's" were produced? I believe Rivian discontinued the color due to lack of interest so I am guessing less than 3% of the early 10-20k production number?

I wonder how high the ladder a decision to remove items people love has to go. I suspect this was an item that looked great at the cost cutting Monday morning all hands meeting, but missed the Big Picture.

Worked on Gas Turbines for many years and had to deal with stripped bolts often. Clean the damaged bolt well and Epoxy a one size smaller bit and let it cure overnight. I found it helps to score the entire surface of the bolt and cover it with the epoxy. It should look like a monkey's first day...

What separates us from other species is the ability to adapt. Adapters make life easier. Rivian sent me an adapter for free so I can now use 25,000 + stations to charge my Rivian, that were previously not avail\able to me. Long trips now a lot easier and stress free. The current NACS charger...

I have a deposit but have my doubts the company will deliver on any of their promises. They seem to have enough money now to enter limited production. I thought the 40 k is ok given what a fully loaded HD costs new. As a motorcycle rider who spent hundreds of hours under an overpass waiting for...

I have had the same experience with my R1S. It happened within the second month of ownership and has been the one and only issue during my 2 years of ownership. I parked the car in the garage the night before with everything working. The next morning the car was dead as a doornail. I managed...

We have been using the Lucid Charger to charge both the Lucid and our R1S for the last 2 years with no issues.

No idea why car companies do not provide easy access to the 12V battery when the 12V goes dead. It will save a lot of headaches for owners and car companies alike. I understand the concern such a device will attract thieves like flies but it can easily be made active only when the 12V drops...

Rivian did promise to improve its cars over time but I didn't think it was through the process of elimination.

A smart business should never deliver products with obvious flaws to a customer, regardless of price, especially on a new product. I have lost count on how many times people have approached me to ask "how do you like it". The sale does not end once a customer walks out the door. Word of mouth...

Michelin man says... So I can sell you one tire instead of three? No thanks .... I am good with three separate designs.

I suspect the decision was made for the same reason Ford decided to send free adapters. Remove the EA charging nightmare so they can sell more cars. It would be interesting to see how Rivian enters the cost on their books.

We have had nothing but great Service from the Miami Service center.

Given the the number of EVs and the size of the batteries, it is insane to not have access to all the power sitting and ready to serve in an emergency. This is the stuff Governments should be looking into worldwide.

YES it is "jumpable". There is 12V connection available for connecting a 12V charger or an external 12V source. If you are lucky and the battery was somehow discharged, but healthy enough to hold a charge, you can Jump start the 12V system. Unfortunately , in our case, and what seems to often...
