  1. Rivian Owner Age Demographics Poll

    I may be an outlier at 31, married, 2 kids and third coming. Given our any 3 row suv running 50k plus rn that’s how I justified it to the wife. Should I have gotten it. Probably not but would find other ways to spend that money. And wanted to treat myself because not gonna be a home owner...
  2. Prinsu Pro Roof Rack on R1S - install photos & review

    Anyone able to post a few pics of the view from inside the cab through the moonroof? Curious to know how much it obstructs. Thanks
  3. R1S: Rear Tail Light no longer works.

    Had a similar issue recently with a dead 12v. Some lights wouldn’t even illuminate at all. definitely a SC appointment more then likely. If you have a way to check your battery voltage probably wouldn’t hurt but if your dc/dc converter is working, a 240v charge or fast charge should correct if...
  4. What'd you name / nickname your Rivian?

    I couldn’t help but think “Rivian” sounded pretty celestial. So I feel like what we went with had a nice ring to it.
  5. Editing New Rivian Widget

    Didn’t even know there was a widget till now. Just put on my home screen
  6. Any Owners With Smoke Film Over Lights?

    Dig it very clean with your setup. Also considering leaving headlights alone once I can get more reference and may just blackout taillights to hide the red. Time will tell. Thanks!
  7. Rivian Connect+ pricing = $14.99 monthly / $149.99 annually

    What I am curious is are we otherwise going to lose features we currently get for free if we don’t have connect+ ? I noticed hotspot was on riviantrakr video but also am curious if since it said media streaming, we are locked out of future casting option as well or if there is more too it...
  8. Any Owners With Smoke Film Over Lights?

    Curious if any owners have applied the tint for their head/taillights and is willing to share pictures and their experience. I am exploring the option but can’t really trust a lot of the “photoshopped” images on store pages to be true to real world. Also none of them give examples with the...
  9. how are the 12 volt batteries charged

    I am getting a battery replacement rn at the SC they are also installing a new dc converter. I don’t know the exact science but yes when the 12v gets low or when you are plugged into a charger at home it will top them off. As far as if it’s every time car is started, plugged into a charger, or...
  10. San Jose Service Center - timeliness, service, wait times, etc?

    If you have yet to buy, I understand the concern. I myself bought used 2 months ago and would not have if I wasn’t at least within an hour of a SC. Rivian does seem to be good about getting you either a loaner or a rental if there will be a prolonged period without. Unfortunately I had mine...
  11. Service times will kill Rivian

    I would agree on the rear facing car seat front, but from my wife and I recently car shopping experience, just about every single vehicle except “Full size” SUVs and some minivans suffers from this delimma like you stated. I do believe Rivian doubled down on it being an off-road platform and it...
  12. Really prefer low regen, but would like option for brake-only regen and saving as default profile

    I’m curious to see how low regen is once I get my R1S back from the SC. I’ve grown fond of one pedal driving and 100% prefer it over having to switch pedals. That being said exiting cruise control from high regen can be jarring. I know some recently mentioned that low regen for longer high way...
  13. Loan rates?

    ya sucks just did a USAA loan in may. Want to hold off to refinance to see if we can get some sub 4 offers but at same time even though 7 is better then national avg. still a lot on a vehicle worth this much.
  14. Service times will kill Rivian

    I would agree at least in central California the earliest I could get an appointment scheduled was nearly 3 months out. I managed to get them to squeeze me in about a month out with intent to get comprehensive inspections done and tire rotation to see if there was any undisclosed issues since I...
  15. Camp Speaker Love-Hate Relationship

    My experience is that it doesn’t ever power “off” to conserve battery. I can fully charge it, then the following day it will be dead. Makes me wonder if this is part of the phantom drain when car is sitting if speaker is docked. I don’t know why this is, if it is off it shouldn’t lose its...
  16. Most efficient wheel size?

    From the research I have done. Stock 21s best. Then 22s then 20s. Put lighter highway tire on OEM 20” rim with smaller total diameter 33” vs 34” you can get comparable if not better efficiency then stock 21s. Not black and white though. Many factors including drive mode, drive habits, tire...
  17. Creating the Ultimate Wheel/Tire Combo (Help Needed)

    How would these hold up for light off roading? Bulk of driving is city/highway with passengers but for vacations and camping trips curious how they would handle heavier travel loads and non paved roads/trails that are on rougher side but can manueaver at low speeds. Am considering the awzz in...
  18. Vampire drain - what's the latest battery % loss people are getting?

    I would agree, especially for those of us who have or intend to have items that power on with rest of car sensing a key. On average at home if I can avoid ours sensing the key throughout the evening/night (walking too close to garage or into garage with phone) I’ll see a 0-1% drain if not...
  19. Gen 1 major ride quality & handling improvement after 2024.19.04 software update - how's your experience?

    Ya my current saved route goes 101 to 46 to 5 stopping at RAN in buttonwillow. It would be great to see how much efficiency diff there would be on full range at highway speeds by using low vs high regin. Unfortunately unless I had that 400-410 mile range we wouldnt make it to family without a...
  20. Gen 1 major ride quality & handling improvement after 2024.19.04 software update - how's your experience?

    If you have the ability to do a longer range highway trek coming/going and compare low vs high, that would be great. Getting ready to visit family soon in SoCal and hoping to maximize range given it about 390 miles from where we are now. If I could get close to that range with pretty much all...
