Software is really hard but the harder part is meeting marketing deadlines while not only delivering features but quality. This is where companies, not just Rivian, are struggling today. Apple, Google, Cisco, Rivian, Tesla, everyone is struggling with this. The company says X product or...
In 4 years of owning 2 EVs (CCS/J1772) I have used my adapters twice as well. While I don't use Tesla chargers (personal) I have the adapter just in case. There are plenty of chargers that are not NACS so adapters are the way
I think buying the adapters is just going to be a way of life for a bit. Unless you guarantee you never charge away from your house there is going to be a chance you need an adapter until the world 100% is NACS.
If I needed a new vehicle I would jump right in, love my R1. But with the current interest rates and the fact I don't need a new vehicle I may cancel my pre-order.
Just cracks me up as Rivian has had this since day one. My R1 has FM only and everything else is streaming. If I am out of service range I can pull bluetooth from my phones downloaded playlists. Seems like a fine solution and I haven't missed FM or AM as I would listen to them less than 1% of...
Very helpful. I always thought it would be helpful for people to see luggage, golf bags etc and how they fit in the storage spaces in vehicles they are purchasing.
As of right now the R1 isn't going anywhere. not sure what that person experienced but I can configure all the colors on the website and I can find plenty in inventory. The factory may be limiting colors based on R2 paint priority but the R1 will be around for a bit, as far as we call can...
I am indifferent to it being powered. I get why some would want it but for how infrequently it is used I don't care either way.
A strap would be helpful though.
I build data centers for customers and I can tell you this is the industry period. Bugs, features coming s00n, problems etc etc. Software quality is just something industry has removed period. While I hate it that is our reality and it isn't going to change. I respect your perspective but...
I don't believe it is anymore of a gamble than most other brands. I had a VW that was less than 2 months old, sensor issues took 2 weeks to figure out and fix. I know others with Benz, BMW, Honda any brand that have had issues with their vehicles. I also know plenty of folks who have owned...
Based on your comment about where you live I would get it. for me personally I haven't had a spare tire in a car for many years now, BMW, Audi, Rivian and plenty others don't provide one. I have used the tire sealant kits they have provided more than once. It worked well enough not just to...
Couldn't disagree more. I know this is your personal experience but I have had 2 R1s in 3.5 years. Aside from an original problem 3.5 years ago my vehicles only have required service for tires. I didn't take it to Rivian I took it locally and twice had mobile service perform it on my...
