  1. Tips for using Rivian as power bank for storm

    That was pretty brave to power all of those devices. You're lucky you only lost power for 2 days. Here in Clearwater, it's not uncommon to lose power for 5-7 days during bad storms. The Rivian battery held up great during the last outage, but I used it mostly for the fridge and charging phones.
  2. Tips for using Rivian as power bank for storm

    We lost power for 8 days during hurricane Helene in 2024. Judicious use of my R1S battery with a good extension cord kept our refridgerator cool the entire time. I was amazed how well the battery held up. I even used it for cooking with an electric griddle.
  3. Turn off driver display onscreen ads?

    Wait, you're able to listen to your radio? Mine barely gets any reception.
  4. Has anyone gotten the 2025.46 Update yet? Please tell us your location and date you received.

    Updated last night. 2023 R1S in Florida. It's not clear to me how I customize my screen. Hopefully there will be some video tutorials soon.
  5. Rivian Autonomy & AI Day! Lidar, Hands-Free Driving, Rivian Assistant & more announced

    I'm waiting for them to mention how this will fix my R1s radio. It sucks!
  6. Software updates that should be here by now.

    For all that is holy, please give us resume cruise control.
  7. Door sloshing R1S?

    I've read the older threads of water being trapped in the passenger door on R1Ts. Has anyone had this happen to their R1S? I hear the sloshing noise after a recent car wash. Seems to be located at the passenger door. I tried the fix posted on Reddit, but I could not access the drain plugs...
  8. R1S efficiency significantly improved after routine service

    Brought my 2023 R1S in for tire rotation and inspection after 19,000 miles. I had been having a squeal from the left front wheel at low speeds which I thought was a bearing hub issue. Thorough inspection was normal all around. 21 inch Tires rotated and still have plenty of tread. The squeal...
  9. iOS 18.1 PAAK issues?

    Mine has been intermittent since this last update. Doesn't consistently lock when I walk away. Takes longer to unlock as I approach. Same iphone. Never had issues with PAAK before. Software resets have not made a difference.
  10. Honest Opinion From Current Owners? - Re: R1S

    Love my R1S over the past 16 months, but I would never buy a Rivian if I lived 5 hours from a SC.
  11. Electric Lawnmower

    Another vote for the EGO system. Mower, trimmer, edger and blower. Nice that I can swap batteries easily. Anyone else have an electric robotic mower? I've got a Husqvarna robot that has been mowing my front yard nicely for the past 5 years.
  12. Tesla Model X vs. Rivian R1S comparison review - from a real owner of both.

    You may not tow, but the Model X only has 5000lb towing capacity and my R1S has 7500lb towing capacity. I need that extra capacity to tow my boat. Tesla was not in the discussion.
  13. Windshield Repair Quote- OKC

    Should be $1800 installed. Just had mine done at Tampa SC.
  14. 2800 mile road trip / towing 5k lbs boat / R1S vs Porsche

    Great write up. My boat towing experience with a 4500lb load resulted in only a 40% reduction in range with my R1S. My ski boat must be a bit more aerodynamic than your vessel.
  15. Will Gen 1 R1 Owners be upgrading?

    No. I waited 2.5 years for my R1S. After 1 year of ownership I've been quite happy with the vehicle.
  16. Rivian and VW exploring deeper collaboration: hardware and production

    Personally, I'm not a fan of this VW collaboration. I vowed to never own one of their products after dieselgate. The intentially deceptive programming used to circumvent our environmental regulations should have been met with a stiffer penalty. They got a slap on the wrist.
  17. Home Level 2 chargers—seeking basic guidance

    Do your electricity rates vary through the day? If so, a programmable unit might be worth your while. If not, just get a simple reliable charger. I have a Clipper Creek (now enphase) which has been excellent over the past 4 years. I recently installed the highly rated Grizzl-E in my other...
  18. 2024.19.04 software update now installing! Share your impressions & reviews

    Surprisingly good update! Ride in soft mode is much improved in my R1S. I like the font and dash layout. The arrival of turn signal blind spot camera was shocking after being teased just 11 short months ago.
