  1. Requesting Rivian to Replace Tires

    Most manufacturers are using marketing of ā€œEV rated tiresā€ aside from load rating and speed index tires are going to be the same for cars. Theyā€™re maybe some small compound differences notated like foam to reduce noise. Tires are tires. As long as theyā€™re rated for the car the type of propulsion...
  2. Requesting Rivian to Replace Tires

    8k miles isnā€™t normal for a all season tire. Even from pirelli who is know for its softer compounds. Not a fan of the stock tires. I have 23k on the odo. Measured my tires today before the snow fall. Tires are at 5/32 one is at 4/32. Replacing them this upcoming week. Most tire manufacturers...
  3. What do you want addressed in the next OTA update?

    It would be great to have more use cases and info from the instrument cluster screen. It would be cool to see traction and torque from each wheel/motor and how much power is being delivered to each wheel. Rivian showed this in a video awhile ago. It would be great to be able go adjust the...

  5. Xpel PPF installer recommendations (Colorado)?

    Any body take their R1 to get PPF applied, if so any place you would recommend in Denver CO ? How was the experience ?
  6. Anyway to get a new guide or better communication?

    Yea I have my lender working with Rivian now. They are working to figure out a process that works for each other. One wonā€™t send funds until they get title. The other wonā€™t send title or release car with out a form of funds. Logistics that need to be solved. Nonetheless, Rivian SC asked if I...
  7. Anyway to get a new guide or better communication?

    Iā€™m still stuck in the 5th step since it ask for a check and tracking number from my lender. I also have a question on registration on the truck being calculated on the total. Every car Iā€™ve purchase was registered 60 days after the fact at the DMV. Call me the minority but would rather it that...
  8. Anyway to get a new guide or better communication?

    This is terrible communication. This sucks. Iā€™m excited for this truck but I detest this whole process. Itā€™s the worst.
  9. Anyway to get a new guide or better communication?

    Help !!! My truck is ready for delivery but I havenā€™t completed all of the steps. My 8 steps opened up last Wednesday 8/17. I spoke with my guide by reaching out on 8/18. Never got an introduction, I reached out. I talked to her on the phone covering the remainder of the process. She mentioned...
  10. Driving in Snow

    Surprised by this I had checked some out and they have a wiper de-icer but donā€™t see any mention of it nor how to turn it on Maybe itā€™s just turned on with the side mirror and rear de icer. This is essential in Colorado during winter time. The other concern I would have is the angle of the...
  11. Rail Transit - Timing

    I would say 2-6 wells for shipping via rail. Working in the industry a lot will depend on logistics on Rivians end and the rail company. Theyā€™ll coordinate pickuos and drop offs from other manufacturers for effectiveness in volume. This comes at the cost of getting a car shipped out in a few...
  12. XPEL Full Body Glossy PPF Installed -- Reality vs Expectation [Photos]

    Personally it pays to have more wrapped around body panels. Especially in CO. I had my Tesla front end wrapped. They wrapped the whole front end. Wrapped around the hood. The side bumpers werenā€™t wrapped and dirt and debris has made its way on the side. Itā€™s noticeable now especially on a white...
  13. Colorado Checking In

    Rivian qualifies for 3,500 since itā€™s coming over the 8500 GVWR. It comes in at 8535. The 3500 is only until the end of the year then decreases.
  14. R1T / R1S Factory XPEL PPF Option to be offered at $4500 starting late 2022

    Agreed would be nice for it to wrap around im but Iā€™m not surprised as they heavily wrapped their test miles in some pretty cool options. It would be worth considering as other places can charge over 8k for it. Itā€™d be compelling if was also covered under factory warranty. I wouldnā€™t chose it if...
  15. R1T / R1S Factory XPEL PPF Option to be offered at $4500 starting late 2022

    I came across this in this video from TFL where it was mentioned Rivian would be offering PPF from factory for $4500. $1500 for the front of the truck or SUV. I attached a link. The time stamp is 1:50. If thatā€™s the case I would add that I wonder if it would fall under standard warranty if it...
  16. Got PHEV'd today :-(

    a lot of good points charging should be available to those free but should impose time limits with high idle fees. Maybe 3 hours free or 80% charge with a $1 per min after. With in that frame people who are done will quickly move their car. Those who really need a charge will queue up. I also...
  17. Next R1S delivery timeline update email coming July 1 - says customer service

    Personally this makes sense I think Rivian will send out a few R1S models end of this year. Itā€™s makes sense to push out R1T this year. I think theyā€™ll hit 25-35k production this year. Batching will also make most sense for them. Same with line production switching from R1T to R1S. I have a...
