  1. April 5th - UHF still working.

    I thought about not renewing as well, since the roads that really matter for longer hauls here in the northeast tend to be covered by highway assist. Buuut I renewed anyway and with a 3hr round trip drive today it was just such a pleasure to travel. I also secretly hope we are somehow at the...
  2. Love my R1S, but frustrated by a "Principle of the Matter" Service Issue (Stuck Charging Cable)

    I’m with you on the principle of the matter! My R1S charging cable was stuck from day 1 of ownership, but seemingly only level 2 chargers. At the time I also didn’t know there was a manual release (which worked well, but only Chat GPT told me about it, not Rivian). Reboots and lock/unlock...
  3. Knocking Suspension Noises

    Picking mine up Saturday - hood realignment and the noise in front right suspension. Over the phone the tech said it was a ā€œloose nutā€ that was causing one of the pressurized lines to be rubbing against something over bumps. I will let you know if it is indeed fixed…
  4. Knocking Suspension Noises

    I’ve got mine in for service and I’ll keep you posted on the diagnosis! Interestingly some of the noises I’m in for service for I can also hear in the loaner R1T. But not nearly as bad, and not focused on one wheel like mine currently is on gen2 R1S.
  5. Knocking Suspension Noises

    I have a gen2 R1s, never noticed issues, and in my mind the timing of cold weather plus hitting highway bumps and expansion joints at high speed in low suspension mode ā€œfeelsā€ like it was the door-opener to me hearing these issues. No idea if it was coincidence or cause. Combination of squeak...
  6. Upgraded the sub in R1S with aftermarket Alpine SWR-T10 Subwoofer

    Hello, no I did not connect blue remote wire. Admittedly I didn’t even think to because the pink wire is switched already with car on / off and I believe the sub wakes up / draws power only on audio signal. So- hot (pink), ground, and the double pair posi-tapped into the purple / white at the...
  7. Upgraded the sub in R1S with aftermarket Alpine SWR-T10 Subwoofer

    That’s correct, Gen2. Take it from me, do not experiment with tapping any other wires!!
  8. Upgraded the sub in R1S with aftermarket Alpine SWR-T10 Subwoofer

    Yes that’s exactly right. With the little corner panel off you can shimmy the big subwoofer panel open enough to fish wires under the cargo rail area up into the subwoofer cavity. I used wire taps to connect my new wires to the purple and white sub wires after disconnecting the molex from the...
  9. Upgraded the sub in R1S with aftermarket Alpine SWR-T10 Subwoofer

    Hello! Overall the kicker has been fantastic. Just the right amount of punch that the premium is still missing, with power and volume to spare. 12v pink has been perfect so far. The sub turns on only once it gets audio signal from the sub tap, And I’ve had 100% success with the amount of power...
  10. Displayed speed limit often wrong

    I’ve been on a 65mph road and the dashboard is showing 35. I agree it ā€œfeelsā€ like it has gotten worse. We have an XC90 and that does legit read the signs and within 3-5 seconds it registers on the dash, very consistent and feels to be seldom wrong. Now, I’ll take the improved UHD as a trade off...
  11. Thinking about a Gen2 upgrade and maybe trying more efficient wheels (and should I keep my 20ATs?)

    I have a gen2 R1s and despite reading the general displeasure at the new audio system, I sprang for the premium audio and. Overall dynamic range is great, but the bass / punch is simply bad. I added a sub and now it’s great. But if you love good audio on your drives, seriously consider this...
  12. 2 month old 2026 Gen 2 R1S - just got the dreaded 12v warning ! ( Resolved)

    I have a ā€˜25 R1S that I got in March, and just last month I got that message as well. Rivian assured me it was still safe to drive, just advised to NEVER let it get below 30% battery, since it over-compensates for the 12V by using the big battery. Rivian Mobile came out and did the swap, and I...
  13. RAN 150kW

    Agreed with above. My Gen2 R1S lists ā€œready to charge up toā€¦ā€ when pre-conditioning the battery for high-speed charging. At first it said it was warming the battery for charging (on a sunny 85 degree day…) which brought readiness from 100kw to 150kw. When it registered that I was going to an...
  14. Upgraded the sub in R1S with aftermarket Alpine SWR-T10 Subwoofer

    Nope sorry I should have been more specific. It does have premium audio (so an active subwoofer signal) but as the entire world has concluded that stock premium system is soooo disappointing. It was haunting my sleep. Now I can sleep.
  15. Upgraded the sub in R1S with aftermarket Alpine SWR-T10 Subwoofer

    Just installed a supplemental sub on gen2 R1s. Tapped the single pair speaker wires that feed the existing sub-purple and white with molex connector- easily accessible with no panel removal- And tapped the pink 12v trailer wire in spare tire well. Took a little poking around but all things...
