  1. Torsion bar under tailgate flap

    Funny- I just assumed that the tail gate dropped without assistance and that was normal. Until I sent my R1S in for service, then they told me it was missing LOL.
  2. Rivian certified repair shops vs non certified

    I live in Canada and got a minor dent on the front passenger side panel. Rivian said I lose my warranty if I do not go with a Rivian certified shop. The shop quoted me $5,899.61 CAD. The dent adds character, I'll keep it until warrantee runs out!
  3. Immediately Disengaging Cruise Control when Driver+ is Unavailable is Unacceptable

    I agree with OP, it is not typical behaviour IMO. Having said that, I'm glad it does tell me it cannot keep it on, because from my experience so far - the R1S Driver+ is not to be trusted.
  4. Ford "PRICE WAR" drives RIVN under $10

    The truth is that the price reflects their production and distribution constraints. There is a general slow-down in EV sales that is compounded by the fact that Rivian is going to need time to scale up. How they do that is going to make or break them.
  5. Cleaning the interior trim?

    Hi, Anyone have any recommendations as to what to clean the silver interior trim in an R1S with? I tried sone mcguire spray thing but it just makes smudges on there. Thanks
  6. Self park feature?

    Allow me to provide my perspective on the R1S parking camera configuration. I find the current setup to be somewhat inconvenient. It requires frequent shifting of my attention between the central display and the screen behind the steering wheel, which displays distance warnings. This process...
  7. My Rivian Driver+ almost killed me

    R1S owner since Jan here …. I have experienced some odd behaviour such as, some twitching of steering unnecessarily and also coming way too close to other lane. I dont fully trust the R1S HDA and so have to keep an eye when it is on. I was kore comfortable with the HDA in my Palisade tbh...
  8. On the fence

    6’4” here… I have no issues with space in front seats - the 2nd row is also comfortable for me as I will never be behind anyone taller than myself. 3rd row, I agree is tight. I had a Palisade which as you may or may not know is excellent for space in all 3 rows. My kids are also tall but the 3...
  9. Power variance between usb-c ports

    i use the one on the right to plug in an external drive. It saves recorded footage just fine. Regards
  10. Power variance between usb-c ports

    Good point - will update once I speak with Rivian to confirm. thanks.
  11. Power variance between usb-c ports

    Hi, Just putting this out there in case my issue is a one off. I have found that the 2 usb-c ports in the centre console do not provide the same level of power output as say, for example, the 2 on the rear underneath the screen. I bought a magsafe charging matt and when I stick my iphone on it...
  12. Experience shopping for an EV9 vs R1S - Update

    Traded my Palisade with purchase of Rivian - the autotrader value I was seeing came up at $39-$42k. Rivian credit was $37 I would say that is excellent, given that (here in Ontario, Canada) I dont have to go through the whole second-hand car selling process (which involved paying tax...
  13. Am I missing something... are people uneducated about EVs and won over by free charging?

    You get all sorts of people - some folks just dont mind waiting for a free charge. Just like at the gas stations here in Canada - when there is a price drop, there are massive lines. Me... I just drive on home and wait for a day when there are no lines (for me, my time is more precious then a...
  14. New Owner Feedback (after 20 days)

    Hi all, I picked up my R1S on Jan 20th here in Ontario, Canada (my first EV). Here are a few thoughts after 20 days of use..... Here are some positives: Very fast :D Love the look and feel Build quality is excellent (interior and exterior) Performance is amazing and I love that the ride...
  15. Ontario Order Holders - Test Drives/First Mile Events

    my existing insurer Aviva aka RBC were able to provide quotes and cover insurance (albeit more expensive!).
  16. Unacceptable Heater Performance

    In -17 here in Toronto, I find that the temp control is off in that, set at 19 deg C, it still feels too hot. Also, anyone know why the fan is always on at high speed in auto?
  17. Ontario Order Holders - Test Drives/First Mile Events

    I just went straight in on the 10th and picked up my R1S - didn’t need a test drive because the confirmed that you can return if not happy within 1000 miles or 7 days (whichever comes first).
