  1. Hot take: Google Maps is not really much of an upgrade

    I agree, I actually preferred the Rivian maps. Google maps have weird coloring everything is always green around me. I don't find it an upgrade at all. It's not a downgrade but I haven't noticed anything great about the new mapping.
  2. The Drive: Why Gen 1 quad devour tires

    Absolutely agree, just did a 1500 mile trip and I run conserve mode but keep the ride height at low or even standard. For one, "lowest" is just too damn rough for any sort of comfortable ride nothing like bottoming out crossing an overpass. Conserve disables the rear motors and saves a lot of...
  3. Can we start waving???

    I waved at one this morning, but he was picking his nose :) I just laughed.. I always try to wave though. :)
  4. When Steering Wheels Attack : R1S : Wheel fully extends towards driver on entry

    Well we have a variation because I'm pretty confident mine has only happened in the garage. lol
  5. Factory Winshield Solvent

    aahh, that makes more sense. then 4 gallons will last me forever. haha
  6. When Steering Wheels Attack : R1S : Wheel fully extends towards driver on entry

    I have not yet found the pattern to associate with this, but on occasion when I enter my R1S the steering wheel attempts to attack me. It will fully extend towards me. I have to use the "restore" option in my profile and it goes back to where I like it.. I've only ever had this happen when it...
  7. Factory Winshield Solvent

    at $25/gal I will have to pass, though I do like the smell too.
  8. Snow Mode fail - costly result

    I also found this to be true on a hill in snow/ice. I couldn't get the vehicle to just "roll" it was constantly braking which locked the wheels up and just caused me to slide off the hilly driveway I was on. I was disappointed. Also from the Midwest growing up in snow and having done the same...
  9. Atlanta Service Center, What’s Going On?

    This is literally my only concern about owning my Rivian. Service. How is it this bad? I went to the ATL service center for a tire rotation and general checkup. The appointment took 30+ days to get in and when I arrived they wanted to put me in a rental. I declined and told them I wasn't leaving...
  10. Any lawyers here? Company is banishing EVs to the far edges of my work campus

    Real Data: (Feb 2024) Per 100,000 vehicles Fires: EV: 25 ICE: 1530 Hybrid: 3475
  11. Dumb PSI question, Nitto Recon Grapplers

    In my non-Rivian experience it comes down to your intended use or look. I had the Wranglers and the Grabbers on my Jeep Wrangler because I liked how they looked. My 4Runner came new with the NITTOs I had good luck with them as an in between where they look a little more aggressive but did nicely...
  12. Dumb PSI question, Nitto Recon Grapplers

    I would expect that the Nitto would have a tire that is similar in pressure ratings, maybe the one you got isn't quite the right one? Looks like the one you got has a lower load index.. Source:
  13. Plug for Tow Hitch Receiver?

    Found it! @bfilippo https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/hitch-receiver-protection.16562/post-359175
  14. Plug for Tow Hitch Receiver?

    This is the one I was looking at. Someone had it on an R1S and it looked good to me.. https://www.supremesuspensions.com/products/universal-multi-function-hitch-bumper and I can't for the life of me find the post where I saw it on an R1S...
  15. Off road unlocked: my first off-roading in R1S

    Solid work.. I'm fixin' to take mine up where I used to take my wrangler. I love seeing the R1S in off road pics.
  16. 12v Lead Acid Battery Replacement

    I do not understand why Rivian and other EV 12v batteries are not user replaceable. ICE vehicles also experience these 12v battery failures the difference is that you can go down the street to the parts store and get a new one to slap in. It seems like a major marketing failure for these...
  17. Honest Opinion From Current Owners? - Re: R1S

    Early 2023 R1S Quad owner here. I bought it in May and have put over 8000 miles on it since then. I've been to the service center 1 time because my front trunk didn't always close with power. While it was there I had the tires rotated $60 and they replaced a broken floor mat clip. I've had zero...
  18. Bait and switch - frustrated with inability to use music apps without Connect+

    The challenge that companies have with giving services away is that people think they're always going to be free. Let's be clear $150/year is still a steal. You're driving a high end vehicle, you probably spend more than $12.50/mth on fancy coffee.. You can't get an unlimited internet plan for...
  19. Rubicon Trail: 1, Rexbo R1T: 0

    Great stuff. I'm eager to get my R1S on the trail, I love seeing these posts. Having had my Wrangler and then my 4Runner I think the R1S is capable at a cost. Your experience seems to give worthiness to my hypothesis.
