I never worry about efficiency and cabin comfort. The heating of the cabin is minimal battery drain, maybe 2 KWh during an hour's drive when your car itself is using 35 KWh just to drive the miles, and battery management during extreme cold is likely using significantly more energy than the...

I have been with USAA for over 35 years, and for the most part, they have been excellent whenever I have had claims. But there are a few things to watch out for. It likely varies by state, but in Colorado, you have the legal right to have your vehicle repaired at any shop you choose. USAA will...

I have had similar experience to the OP. I have a brand new Pixel 10 pro. I have had two occasions that the digital key "malfunctioned" and the car would not open. On one occasion, the phone key would not open the car when in proximity to the car, but would unlock the car when placed physically...

I have had this issue as far as I can remember owning the 2025 R1S, now over a year. I notice it is heavily dependent on how "awake" the vehicle is before I open a door. If I have been driving the vehicle, close the doors and then reopen shortly after, the dome lights always come on. If the...

Definitely does not work automatically. I drove 200 miles on 4 lane divided highway. Put blinker on, pull steering wheel to change lanes, continue holding steering wheel and blinker will automatically cancel and lane assist will reengage.

Does this mean windshield replacement will no longer need service recalibration, and the vehicle will do it while driving? That would be a huge plus.

I have a 2025 Gen 2 R1S that is 11 months old. I never had this issue until a couple of months ago. It is very intermittent, but very frustrating when it happens. Usually, a soft reset will fix it for me—definitely a software bug. I doubt a service appointment will do anything for you. It's an...

It's really no more than having one more device connected to a cell plan - think smartwatch. That's how I approach these subscriptions. In rural/mountainous areas of the country, I find Rivian's AT&T network to be a nice alternative to my Verizon phone. When one is absent, sometimes the other...

I had a Tesla Model S for 8 years and 100K miles. It never required brake pad replacement, and even at 100K, it had minimal brake pad wear. I greased the calipers once yearly when I swapped to snow tires. The brakes never seized and were always there when needed.

I charged in Durango yesterday at the new RAN charger on a trip from Western CO to Santa Fe. Very easy access off the highway. The REI is not yet open, but it will only cost me more money when it becomes available. RAN and most other high-speed charging need to be cheaper. At $0.50/kWh and...

Any update on this new charger in Durango? I don't see it listed as operational/available yet. I am wondering if any locals know what's up.

I have had excellent experiences with them over the past two years, ordering many items for an R1T and R1S. This winter, I preordered rock sliders for the Gen 2 R1S. When the first batch arrived, they did not fit the bolt pattern under the vehicle because Rivian had changed it even from early...

Watch during a drive to see if your suspension is changing ride height. If you are in "All Purpose" drive mode, even after manually selecting a drive height, the car will revert back to "Auto" on subsequent drives or even after several hours of being in a manual ride height on a long drive...

I just listened to my 2025 Tri-motor R1S (November delivery). What you describe and hear in your video is exactly what my system sounds like. The rear passenger door is mid-range to the base. The driver door is base only, and the midrange and tweeter come from the dash and A-pillar speakers...

My wife and I own two Rivians. When one is on a road trip, the other can check the app to get the location and ETA for the trip. It's a minor addition but could be useful/reassuring. It's not like I'm tracking my wife's movements or anything...?

Don't count on it yet. I noticed large glops of grease initially after delivery, only now to have noise 4 months later.

I, too, have a four-month-old Tri, and at least one, if not more, handle has begun to sound terrible. At times, I've thought something went wrong when shifting into drive, but then I've reminded myself that it was just the door handles retracting. Plan to address it at the next needed service.

I passed through last week and also had the same reaction as I drove up, "Oh no! It's not online yet." I am happy it was operational despite the plastic wrap and toped at 200kW+. I was so tempted to remove all the plastic. And just FYI, the Rivian map directions route you behind the charger...

I owned a 2016 Model S, and the 12V lasted 7 years, 90K miles before replacement. Just lucky, I guess.

We also just had a proactive 12V battery replaced in my wife's Gen 1 R1T. Mobile service came to repair an interior trim piece that kept coming loose and when he arrived, he said he would also replace the 12V battery and tighten wheel suspension nuts to higher torque spec. He said that Rivian...
