Not clear in the picture but it appears that you could lift it with a standard floor jack without the use of pucks. The required use of pucks for R!’s is always a LIMFAC on who can service these, both in training and equipment.

The Rivian AI voice does not sound grating to me, per se. And I am in Florida, not California. That being said, I find it annoying for the default always being female when the most common form of hearing loss is high frequency (which I have as a documented VA disability). That is why at home...

I expect RA to gain vehicle functionality over time. My guess this was rolled out early without all the envisioned bells and whistles in the interest of sweetening the pot for Connect+ and selling more R2’s.

This finally got me to subscribe to Connect+. Being my R1T is more a daily, around town ride, the other features of Connect+ just did not seem worth it since I would not use them much. But I can see using Rivian Assistant frequently if it pans out as described. It Tipped the balance for me.

Cool! Because of the price I expect most people to wait until their glass breaks, but be patient. Of not, I went to your website and could not swipe the top panels right or left to view them. For instance, the video panel is half off-screen and I cannot adjust that. I am on an iPad with...

Besides the weight of the tailgate, the design probably adds some just based on physics. Unlike many trucks the Rivian tailgate uses extended hinges when down to add length to the bed. This feature was pointed out in an early review video that contrasted it with the likes of Ford and Chevy...

The sidewalls are very vulnerable for any off-roading where sidewall impact is an issue. Sand/dirt would be okay but rocky terrain might not.

Yea, try Googling “ALSO”. I can see a “Who’s on first?” Like routine in this name.

I totally agree on the ride quality. I have a Gen 1 R1T. But I will say Rivian kept tweaking the software since I took delivery and the ride much improved. My first EV was an Audi eTron (still have it) and the ride is much smoother and the wind noise much less. It can also raise and lower...

Luckily it doesn’t look like you dented a crease from your picture. This would be a tougher PDR cas if so.

Since tire rotation is now 9000 miles I wonder if this affects timing for the inspections that were at every 7500 miles. My guess is yes. Although given the Rivians more aggressive tire wear I wonder if extending tire rotation is wise. Maybe this is an effort to reduce workload on SCs? Just my...

Depending on how the Gen 2 connected the cameras, you might have a loose connection at one of them. In my own case I had an issue with a loose connection in a side mirror camera that took out all the cameras because they were wired more in series. Taking these out would add etc other smart...

I’d say less than 300 miles is legacy. A 400 mile range across the board will come but smaller car chassis will be hard pressed to do so with current battery technology. There is a sweet spot between convenience/range and I believe it is actually between 350-400 miles for most people. The...

I suspect mine is flaky. I only use it to top off bicycle tires but noticed recently that it stopped before the target pressure. Sometimes it will continue pumping on/off until the target pressure, sometimes I have to keep pushing the Start button repeatedly, and sometimes it just won’t...

I noticed that the latest update will add “Sport” mode to non-performance dual motors. This is where the “performance” really kicks in the most. I wonder if the update will also unlock more power in that mode? Personally, I already have a Gen1 dual performance that was software updated at...

Please keep us informed on what Rivian says happened. I wouldn’t rule out Launch mode since this obviously puts the greatest stress on parts of the motor and related components. I could see something like partial failure happening immediately (like a crack) proceeding to full failure. Like a...

As others said, this is apples and oranges. Both to the types of vehicles and the very specific location of high cost California. Here in Florida, my base electric rate is $0.14, out the door with taxes and fees $0.15. Such comparisons can be misleading and get picked up as “evidence” by...

In impossible-to-open packaging. 😜
