Wow, I am living rent-free in the head of some of the most diehard Rivian cultists, hardcore fanboys plaguing this forum. Thank you. I am so flattered 😂🤣😂🤣😂

Regrettably (now), yes. I too swore by my Rivian until it started behaving like a true Rivian, i.e., breaking down. Once again, it is parked in my garage on crutches. Although mothballed at the same time, earliest SC appt. is end of February. It will get the 3rd 12 V battery in two...

Yep, I compare my Rivian to my sublime Teslas. Yep, Rivians are garbage. And very expensive EV garbage at that. It ain't even funny. Gen 1, Gen 2, Gen 125, total basura. Don't believe it? Read the threads in this forum.

Cultists, hardcore Rivian fanboys, god love 'em. So join this forum only if you are a cultist, hardcore Rivian fanboy. Pretty much one of the dumbest posts I've ever read. But again, a cult will do that to ya.

If that's what I have for being so pleased with the most amazing EVs ever made, i.e., TESLAS because they have been so ultra reliable, software implementation second to none, with the greatest, bestest EV charging infrastructure mankind ever created, and the cheapest; because of the outstanding...

Safety features, sensors stopped working. ICE cars worked fine for decades without them. Stick your head out the window to drive. Nothing wrong here. Getting wet carrying my baby to my Rivian. Auto-locking/unlocking did not work. Find a workaround. Bears learn different ways to get a biscuit...

Amazing how many Rivian cultists, hardcore fanboys on here bend over backwards and go out of their way to gloss over, altogether dismiss things as nothing, and whitewash the ton of shortcomings the Rivian brand has. And attack all those who dare tell it like it is. Grace, honeymoon period...

Firsthand experience, what I actually see in my world with my EVs, call it what you will, is what matters to me. Everything else, like your post is simply chaff.

Never a desirable option for me, even if available when I purchased mine. Absolutely a hard pass without any hesitation, mental reservation, or purpose of evasion.

Well, I'll be damned. Rivian software problem!? How shocking. No way. Say it ain't so, Joe! Amateur hour (no offense to amateurs) at Rivian's software department thrives on!!!

I provided receipts, concrete evidence to demonstrate why my Teslas are superior to my Rivian. They just are. Settled law. Just because your hopeless cultist hardcore Rivian fanboy heart of hearts tells you otherwise DOES NOT make it so.

As I see it, OP shared his experience with his Rivian. The cultist hardcore Rivian fanboys apparently had a cow. Some of us own Rivians as pavement queens with zero interest whatsoever going off road, climbing over boulders and the like. If that's where Rivians excel, great. Regardless, no...

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce to you @Donald Stanfeld, exhibit Q of precisely what I just said. Running out of letters here. Fast.

The main problem with this forum is that it is sadly infested with cultist hardcore Rivian fanboys, you know who you are. When someone presents his Rivian experience that contradicts and belies what these folks so blindly and stupidly believe, i.e., Rivians are the greatest in every way, they...

I am sure I can find another report that totally contradicts the findings in this one. Total German malarkey. Speaking in terms of firsthand, my real-world experience, my 2022 Tesla Model Y Performance is hands down THE most stunning, most beautiful, most fun to drive, most reliable, bestest...

I carry key cards in my wallet for both my Teslas and my Rivian not because I plan on using them (I don't). Nor do I worry about PAAK not ever working. It works great, exceedingly well always. Key cards I carry only as an emergency should I ever be stupid enough to drain my phone dead or lose...

Yes, only one battery as well. Not sure why the service order said "batteries." Like yours, mine was doing fine; drain was at most 2 miles per day. A 12 V battery tender cannot keep up. Forever blinking, which means battery at 50% or not 100% charged.

Rivian replaced the 12 V battery on my R1S Gen 1 at 6.5k miles in May 2025. Got an alert on the Rivian app today to "Replace the 12 V battery." Only 12k miles on the odometer. Last three days, VD on my Rivian went full blast losing 10 miles/3% SOC daily just sitting in my garage. Nothing has...

For me, I appreciate a great deal that PAAK works flawlessly. EV and PAAK are two peas in a pod. There is no way in freaking hell that I ever would use that detestable, heinous ICE-age key fob. It belongs in the heap of ICE legacy garbage. The key card, I carry it in my wallet for emergency...

A very objective and realistic post. Thank you. It is so unfortunate that you have to go through all that, and with two babies in tow. Unacceptable. I hope that you find a good resolution to your situation. While my R1S Gen 1 has not had all of these issues, I now have had my fair share to...
