I think foobar may be right. The first time I rotated my tires (5 tire rotation), I scratched my own rim on the threaded upright stem in the spare tire area. If I had read the instructions, I would have seen that you should remove the stem before wrestling the tire out. But I didn't. I also...

I've had a dead 12V in both an R1T and an R1S. In both cases, I was able to run jumper cables from my Toyota Tundra's 12V system to the R1's rear wires and partially power up the R1. The Tundra was running the entire time to keep the alternator going. By "partially power up", I mean that the...

If you can only produce 8kW, the plug-in mobile adapter is probably your best bet. But if you can produce more than the stated 8kW from your genset, the wall box may add value. I hard-wired my Rivian wall charger to a 60A breaker and can pull 48A all night long for 11kW charging. Munro and...

I experienced the same problem with a Samsung S6 tablet and a Pixel 7 Pro phone. The tablet has no interface that I can find to control the USB connection, but it seemed to be depleting it's battery (no charging icon, percentage decreased while watching it) while the camp speaker displayed it's...

When I first saw the Rivian Blue color a few years ago, I thought it was a bit too bright and loud for my laid back style. But it's grown on me quite a lot since then, and it looks amazing on an R1S. Combined with the AT wheels and tires, your R1S is gorgeous! Nice choices!

I hear you, and in hindsight, I'm sure I could have dragged them around. I'm not sure how well I could have placed them out of the way. And on a different day, the randomness in my head might have caused me to try that approach instead. If I had, assuming it all went well, I wouldn't have had...

You're 100% right about the chainsaw, and also about the benefit of cleaning up the logs being easier than redistributing moved rocks afterward. I always take a chainsaw on off-roading trips because you never know when you'll encounter a tree across the road. I didn't have one on this trip...

I was on my way to pick up my daughter, who had been hiking the Allegheny Trail, when I found myself most of the way down a wet sloppy mountainside with three large boulders in front of me, each about 2-3 feet tall, intended to prevent vehicle traffic on the trail. I never would have been there...

I noticed the same thing. My daughter (21) was telling me about trying out drive modes I haven't had a chance to play with yet. And she put it in conserve mode on the interstate without me ever saying a word or recommending it. She just figured stuff out.

My daughter took my R1T for a camping weekend about 200 miles from home. She took the key fob, and I had her install the electrify america app on her phone and log in as me before she left. There is only one fast charger between home and her camp site, so we knew she'd need EA. She had no...

I was just about to ask for an Audible option! I listen to more books than music, and would appreciate that. But I even more strongly agree with the Android Auto / Apple CarPlay angle. That horse has been beaten through ten deaths, but somehow still needs more beating.

Yes, they planned to deliver it. I had to call and ask and work out the road trip.

I believe it's supposed to be 11935 Tramway Dr, Sharonville, OH 45241. There's a window place in suite B. I don't remember which suite Rivian is supposed to occupy. I've driven by and seen nothing, though. Just got a lot of looks prowling around in an R1T. Somebody in service told me they...

I have an R1T with a 12V outlet in the frunk, and I would love to order both the refrigerator unit and the water tank. I would be more comfortable buying from a reputable company with history and warranty behind it, but you've designed exactly what I would have if I had the time and skill to...

I also talked to my guide today, and he said the Cincinnati service center does not exist yet, but will be coming to Sharonville. That (& increasing production, obviously) may accelerate deliveries to our area. Best of luck with your R1S, I'm excited to see some around.

Got my R1T last week in Symmes Twp (NE Cincinnati). Drove through Mariemont to work from a picnic table at Cincinnati Nature Center today. Loving the truck a lot. Just minor issues, nothing major. I haven't had the opportunity to off-road or push the 0-60 yet.

This is exactly how I define top notch service. You don't have to know everything, nobody does, but you'd better be honest about it. Nothing projects wisdom more than knowing when to say "I don't know" and listen.

Totally agree. Every entrepreneur I've ever worked with has wanted to do something good and understood that financing and profitability are the means to that end. RJ has very difficult decisions to make, and few of them obvious, especially not this one. I'm mostly pleased with the outcome, but I...

You make good points. So long as they're selling everything they can make, all's well in the short term. And you're right, some people cancelling their reservations today may forgive and come back next year. For myself, I've gone from enthusiastic (wearing my Rivian hat around town and telling...

My frustration as a stockholder is that rivian invested heavily in building a brand that was interested in a relationship with its customers (a good smart thing to invest in). Their prospectus talks about making more from monthly memberships and things that are dependent upon good will than they...
