Wow, really funny you mention that, as my wife and I are looking at the A2124, the Polydrops and some kind of Electric Camper Van (like the GroundedRV) as options for our next rig and next adventures…

How do you like it? Was it the 600 or 400 model brightdrop?

Did you do the build out yourself on the Brightdrop? How much did it cost ?

My wife and I have been living in our R1S while traveling across the US for the past three months or so. It’s been a really fun and awesome adventure, but after all of the experience we’ve gained, the main thought that keeps coming up again and again is how we wish we had more room. I think...

I did use the eject button on the screen before unplugging the hard drive. Also, the files on the hard drive that playback properly are from well after the accident happened, me driving up to an hour or so after it occurred. So it was writing and making new videos on the drive just fine. Only...

The TL;DW - My R1S was rear-ended last night. Fortunately the crash was very minor. No one was hurt. My R1S does not even appear to be damaged. I had a bike rack on, with two ebikes, and the impact dented the handle on my bike rack. The rack is still useable. The other car the rear-ended me...

Hello everyone-- been a while since I've posted. Just wanted to share this blog my wife and I filmed about our ongoing adventure with our Rivian R1S, living in the road and exploring the country. Chapters for specific topics covered are in the video description. I hope you all find this...

Finally got the R1S back today, and a full breakdown of what was wrong with it. The connection point between the onboard charger and the HV battery pack had some kind of flaw. It was either installed improperly at the factory or the connection port fitting was miscast. Either way, it caused the...

sounds like that's coming just for iPhone, not for apple watch, too? I own neither right now, but am thinking about upgrading my 4.5 year old samsung galaxy into an iPhone 17...

While Car Camping in the R1S, I keep the bluetooth locking and unlocking ability disabled, as the car will tend to unlock itself while I'm sleeping in it with my phone. Unlocking and locking the car with the app works reasonably well, but there are times when I might forget, and it's also a...

I suppose, still kind of wigged out that my pack that had less than 10K miles on it, in a vehicle less than 4 months old, just died like that. but it sounds like it was a manufacturing defect on the pack itself. anyways, they should be finishing it up today, hopefully that is the case. it's the...

Stopped by the service center again today to pick up more camping gear. Sounds like they're doing a full HV battery replacement. Didn't get a full explanation as to the cause, only that some wiring between the modules of the pack was faulty. Sounds like a problem in the battery pack...

Looks like an awesome time! We haven't seen any bison on this trip yet, hope we still get a chance to...

we had our 12V battery replaced at the Denver service center, about a month ago. Dropped the R1S off, took our bikes off the back and rode around the city. In and out in about five hours, real easy.

So I went back to the Service Center yesterday to pick up a few items (tent, water jug, window bug screens etc) from the R1S. While there, I got to speak to one of the techs working on the car. If I am remembering this correct, the Tech said that the connection between the onboard charger and...

wow, that all sounds epic! A lot of beautiful nature in those areas, haven't had a chance to see the stuff in the Dakotas, or really appreciate WY or MT (outside of a trip to Yellowstone a few years ago) either. Hopefully we'll get back in the future. We left SoCal and went north first...

oh god, I had the same "critical battery issue" report after a "possible electrical hazard" warning while L2 charging. Put my R1S into the Service Center last thursday. It died on the lot. Made another thread about it with a video that included the warning I was getting, complete with the...

I have to say, the biggest surprise to me in my service experience thus far has been the fact that we were put up in an enterprise rental car rather than a Rivian loaner. The service center we went to in denver for the 12V battery replacement had a massive overflow lot full of R1's that I...

Yeah, we rotated our tires at discount Tire. Clocked 6K miles on the trip thus far. How far out did you go?

Still no word from Rivian service yet, but given the nature of the warning indicator (Rivian underwater) I find this the most compelling theory yet as to the problem with my R1S. If this is indeed the problem then I would agree that it is concerning that the Gen2 R1S did not fix a design flaw...
