First, most people here on the forum knows I am not a Rivian rah rah or fan boy. Don‘t take this the wrong way. Your post really speaks to how uneducated you are about Rivian. There is nothing you’d listed other than lack of Accessories, which is expected for any new model vehicle, are new...

Congrats and enjoy the ride s00n. Question? Roughly what is your VIN range. Is it in 2,000s yet? I've seen several R2's on the road with paper plates already so Rivian must be pumping them out.

Here's the thing. While we rely on the digital technologies, we still reside in an analogue existence. Everything we see, hear, feel as a living being is analogue. Appreciate the frustration, if the vehicle does not open/unlock, start the vehicle. We've gotten, those of us on EV only, so...

This completely does not make any sense, especially with the regen braking assist off. Regen braking does not use friction brakes. the motor becomes the generator and converts the kinetic energy back to the cells. In other words, electric motor is used to slow the vehicle and not...

Don't take this the wrong way. I just found this post to be how people see autos today versus how it used to be and just SMH. It used to be that "best driving vehicle I've ever driven" would be the top priority and made the car highly sought after. Today, it appears not very high on a vehicle...

Lucid is essentially a Saudi Arabian company. They own about 60% of the company and has a production site in Saudi. Most likely the company is shifting more work to there. https://www.reuters.com/business/world-at-work/ev-maker-lucid-lay-off-about-18-us-workforce-2026-06-22/ Cuts to affect...

If a product sells for $X normally, and on the Prime Days, it sells for less than $X, I don't see how it is a scam. Perhaps these comments from reddit is just hunting for deals and not necessarily a particular item one is interested in? Over the years, I have found things I wanted and if it's...

Why??

I was referring to the tire max pressure, not what Rivian says on the sticker. Every tire has max load and pressure on the sidewall of the tire, along with the serial number that indicates the make date. These numbers are what the tire is designed to (before the safety factor is applied).

Don't do it. Why put yourself through this when you don't have to? It would be completely self inflicted. The distance to the service centers alone are ridiculous and is a non-starter. 1) Whole new vehicle with new assemblies, parts design, suppliers and processes = infant mortality...

There is one small problem in this assumption. There has to be buyers at the higher prices for the R1 vehicles. Currently there are newer high end EVs and Rivian will not be able to sell at the prices you state. They will just sit as inventory and will require carrying costs for Rivian's...

I recall that the OE Pirelli had cold max inflation as 51 PSI. I would double check the tire max pressure and no exceed the PSI. I am now running Michelin Defender 275/50/22 115 on 2023 R1S, and os set at 48 PSI in fronts and 47 PSI on rears. While over inflated tires reduces rolling...

At 144 kWh, the iX5 will be as heavy as R1S. Rather go for the Cayenne EV.

As a last generation Outback owner, I find the new Outback a mistake. The sales have dropped and if I wanted a Subaru SUV, there already was the Forester (I know its bit smaller), or Ascent. What make Outback unique was the wagon aspect, just as Volvo V60 was and Audi A6 Alltrack (now coming...

Voted "Other" but really needs "None".

In life, mathematical models, other than physics, do not necessarily predict the actual outcome. This is particularly true when human emotions and behavior.are involved. With the average sale price of an auto near $52K (https://www.autonews.com/), what is an experience vehicle? I would argue...

Actually, I do keep my vehicles usually 80k miles or 5~6 yrs. The current Model 3 has been an exception - its been an excellent daily driver and while its 8 yrs old, it has less than 75k miles so its getting real close but I've missed getting rid of it in time before the battery warrantee ran...

Having been a part of workforce reduction decisions several times during my career, it is a fact that longer the company waits to cut, more deeper the eventual cut has to be. As for the $65/share, Rivian won't get there on cost cuts and being fiscally responsible alone. They need to increase...

Our R1S is White, Model 3 is Silver and I am currently looking for a CPO 2025 Taycan but all I can find is white, 3 different shades of silver in varying darkness, and black. Almost all interior is black. Its all depressing and boring. I have had 3 silver, 1 champaign gold, mint silver, and a...

In all exterior color choices, interior would be CC. Never been a fan of dark interior. Rivian really needs to offer Canyon Red, Compass Yellow in addition to the bland colors. 1) Canyon Red (not offered) 2) Boreallis (in few months) 3) Compass Yellow (not offered) All other colors are meh...
