    Charging issues, R1S still in service

    On a recent trip to the Grand Canyon, my R1S was having difficulty charging at Electrify America (I know shocker). But the symptoms were interesting. It would start charging and then fail at 8-9kwh, the charger would report vehicle error, and the port would turn red. Throughout the trip this...

    Just downloaded best OTA update yet?!

    Can't wait to check it out. It installed on my vehicle yesterday at service. Rivian is busy replacing the wrong part on my truck sometime early next week I should get it back. Unfortunately my R1S will be right back in service after this repair of the charging system fails.

    Tesla Charging cannot be the standard NA adopts to.

    As a Tesla and Rivian owner, this thread is pretty insane to me. I will continue supporting both companies and am thrilled NACS is being adopted. The Plug, yes the actual plug is much more reliable with internal latching mechanism that does not break every time its dropped and a third the...

    Frunk Fridge Update. Dometic?

    Fits great, behind the third row but not a prayer it's going to fit in the frunk. Even if you take the false floor out to have full depth of the subfrunk, it's too wide to sit lower in the frunk and its way too tall with the false floor in place. trust me it's not even close to fitting

    Frunk Fridge Update. Dometic?

    Following along on this thread. We have a dometic 35 that fits awesome in the back behind the third row, but would love it to fit in the frunk instead.

    Dear Rivian Engineers who worked on the Air Conditioning

    lesson learned. I should have read the forum before my service appointment. I for sure thought something was defective with my R1S ac compressor. It's been very hot throughout Southern California the past few weeks. the air conditioning can't keep up but the truck sounds like it's cleared for...

    My new Rivian charger for my RIT max charges at 12 amps even though it's connected to 60 amps

    What is the upside of buying the Rivian charger? I never even considered it at the price Rivian lists it for.

    Lightning is a Better Road Tripper than our Rivian R1T

    I don't believe the charging curve was addressed.

    Lightning is a Better Road Tripper than our Rivian R1T

    The biggest issue I had with the Lightning and road trips was the awful charging curve. Don't even bother to charge above 80% because it basically slows to below Chevy Bolt charging at that point. While this isn't a huge issue if you have frequent charging stops planned, when towing its a...

    Tesla Model X Owner’s First Drive of an R1S: Disappointing Experience

    I have *MANY* thousands of miles in both Model X and R1S and many others (Ford Lightning, Model S for example) My Model X was a much better built vehicle than my R1S although newer than yours as you said you drove from 2016-2019 so I assume 2016 build? My R1S has more rattles, squeaks and noises...

    Tesla Model X Owner’s First Drive of an R1S: Disappointing Experience

    I agree with much of this, I love my R1S, but if I didn't want to offroad, I would have a Model X back for sure. My R1S build quality is terrible, literal paint missing in some parts, tailgate is so far out of alignment it looks like it was in an accident (and service just made it worse). Every...

    Got a Model 3 (Jun 2023 build) rental while my R1T in service…

    I have a 2023 Model 3, 2022 Model S and an R1S - To me the Rivian ride quality, driving dynamics are the worst of the bunch. Its more capable offroad and the interior is beautiful, but in terms of on road driving, its no where near as refined. Doesn't mean I don't love it, I didn't buy it for...

    I have completely changed the way I turn into my subdivision because of this issue, especially with passengers.

    Adjusting R1S liftgate / tailgate alignment -- how-to DIY instructions

    Maybe I’ll give this a shot. Rivian service actually made mine worse trying to adjust it.
