  1. Vampire Drain - 4.57 kWh/day, 8 miles rated range per day

    This may be the #1 reason I choose to keep my F-150 Lightning. I can leave it sit for a week and it loses maybe a mile of range. I said it before, the features (Lariat) honestly suck compared to the Rivian. The Rivian has a MUCH nicer interior IMO. Much nicer tech too. I work from home, but am...

  2. I miss having a full size truck

    I had a R1T for a few months. Now I have the F-150 Lightning. The way my mind operates, now that I have the Lightning, I miss the R1T, and if I had the R1T, I would probably miss the Lightning. They are similar in many ways but different enough to target somewhat different buyers. The interior...

  3. Any tests done on Vampire battery drain?

    The vampire drain issue needs to be fixed. Not sure what kind of gaming PC hardware we got running on the Rivian 24/7 buts its too much. I guestimate about 300W just sitting there. Im one of the pricks who flipped a Rivian R1T for a fat profit and ended up with a F150 Lightning. I have another...

  4. I got my Lightning!

    I have a Lighting on preorder since 5/20/21, and a R1T that came and went due to an offer I could not pass up. The R1T was NEARLY perfect with one big gaping disadvantage. That vampire drain is a real problem. I have another R1T on preorder and if they solve that one issue, I would keep the R1T...

  5. Back Into the Reservation Waiting List I Go...

    All valid points for sure. My daily driver right now is a Ford Fusion Energi (PHEV). What I am missing out on is the truck capability that I use often. I have been renting (and borrowing) trucks when I cant manage to jam whatever it is im moving into my Fusion or my wife's eTron. I plan to get...

  6. Back Into the Reservation Waiting List I Go...

    I was actually very unmotivated to sell, so I just listed on craigslist, at a price I thought was a bit high. Was listed for about 3 weeks.

  7. Back Into the Reservation Waiting List I Go...

    In my case profit was just over 30k all said and done.

  8. Back Into the Reservation Waiting List I Go...

    Well other than the fact that this is a public forum I wanted to express that I liked the Rivian enough to order another one, but I will be sure to ask for your permission next time. :D Seriously, not sure what qualifies as a "compelling need" in your book but I would guess that 90% of the...

  9. Back Into the Reservation Waiting List I Go...

    I got an offer for my R1T I could not pass up and finalized the deal today... then quickly reserved another R1T. I do need a truck but putting profit back into another R1T takes a third off the price. I can wait. It felt weird, and even kinda dirty selling the R1T after only a few months when I...

  10. Wireless charging pad useless. Any changes imminent?

    Mine works fine but the phone gets hot because of where the charging pad is located. The sun coming in, the wireless charging, YouTube Music chugging along is a trifecta combo that heats the phone up pretty quick. OnePlus 8 Pro, in a case.

  11. [New Email] Rivian offering discounted XPEL PPF to existing owners

    Looks sweet but I dont see the Rivian badge on the passenger side...

  12. New Gear Guard Video Catches Expensive Crash Involving Mclaren!

    Wow, pretty obvious that turn was a bad idea... McLaren took one for the team there.

  13. Can now change Model?

    I reserved a R1S due to the R1T reservations being "sold out". I really wanted the R1T, so when I found out around (late April) that I could switch to the R1T I did so right away without even considering the potential consequences. R1S delivery window I got was Sept - November, about 3 weeks...

  14. [New Email] Rivian offering discounted XPEL PPF to existing owners

    4500 ppf stealth? Sign me up. Had this on my model 3 and it looked epic. Paid 6k at the time. 4500 is a great deal and since there is only one xpel certified installer in my area it will probably be the same guys doing this install.

  15. R1T / R1S Factory XPEL PPF Option to be offered at $4500 starting late 2022

    Yeah, saw that. Looks like Rivian's own customer service is last to find out yet again.

  16. R1T / R1S Factory XPEL PPF Option to be offered at $4500 starting late 2022

    I can understand the concern about paint correction but why would you not be able to get ceramic protection on top of "factory" installed PPF? Also, Xpel now has clear PPF (not on stealth yet AFAIK) with hydrophobic properties built in.

  17. R1T / R1S Factory XPEL PPF Option to be offered at $4500 starting late 2022

    OK, so looks like this has been debunked and Rivian is not offering it. On the subject of PPF, I have had it (Xpel Stealth) applied to my late Model 3 and I thought it was well worth the money just to go matte. Im not sure I would pay as much as I did if I wasnt changing the look of the car...

  18. Elon Musk says that Lucid and Rivian are tracking toward bankruptcy

    Elon, dude, you really gonna be the one to spread FUD like that? Considering where he came from this sort of commentary is rich af. Lots of us are former Tesla owners, and I imagine a lot of us feel like we upgraded... definitely in terms of (build) quality and definitely in term of capability...

  19. So far pretty disappointed in service

    I had a bad update that resulted in the two 12v batteries going bunk on me Friday. They had it fixed that following Monday. That was two Monday's ago. Service seems fine to me. Heck, every part of the buying and owning experience has been bliss so far. Knocks on wood.

  20. OutofSpec Kyle Gets His R1T - Rivian Factory Delivery Video

    Configure a pricier vehicle and you will move up to the front of the line. Like magic. If I were Rivian I would even make this more obvious. The trucks are selling for 120k on eBay.
