Bearded Tesla Guy has confirmed that the R2 will indeed have manual releases on all interior doors (front and rear). He demonstrated how they work. All of the releases are tucked away and not in the most obvious spot (see pics) and unfortunately the rear door releases are a pull cord that...

Hey all, I got my R1T serviced a few weeks ago for recalls and a couple minor issues (driver side mirror and proximity locking issues). No one had ridden in the front passenger seat since I got it back, but yesterday my wife got in and noticed the seat was super wobbly. I took a look and saw the...

The title is Navigation Zoom Preferences… as in there are none. There continues to be no way a user can prevent the navigation system from automatically zooming in, which always seems to occur at precisely the wrong time. This is usually at an interchange when I need to see the next turn that...

Please help. Two observations when cleaning out the middle row of my wife’s R1S tonight after a family trip. 1st is that on the middle row driver side seatbelt the black wire which goes into the plastic box you click the seat belt into has ripped out. 2nd is that the belt which connects this box...

My brand-new 2025 Rivian R1S completely died in the middle of a busy road—no hazard lights, no ability to move—after just two months of ownership. I’m shocked this could happen with a high-end EV, and I’m already thinking about the lemon law. Here are the details: I’m absolutely shocked and...

Got into a major crash yesterday when someone ran a red light and smashed me. It saved my life I am pretty sure.

Yikes. Sounds like Rivian is taking the right steps to address these issues, but this is pretty worrisome. Article claims that Rivian, with just 1 factory, has more "serious" workplace safety violations than any automaker since the start of 2023. At least there aren't any documented repeat...

I wanted to post this as a warning to others considering this vehicle as well as for advice. Picked up my new 2024 RS1 Quad Motor Max Adventure on Saturday 06/08. The guide pointed out our air conditioner was abnormally loud but since the car is brand new & was in park it would kick in and...

My grandmother was getting into the passenger side 2nd row. She used the ceiling mounted grab handle and just before she was settled in the seat, one side of the handle broke off! Luckily she was settled enough and it didn’t result in a fall. Upon inspection the design seems quite poor. It...

I adore my R1S, but decided to post this in case it helps one person avoid an accident. While traveling northbound on MoPac in Austin, TX, at approximately 70 mph, I activated Driver+. I was in the left-most non-express lane. The express lane was to my immediate left. As the road curved right...

Hello, I have a question about the non analog system of such vehicles as these. Specifically Driver+. Tesla cars can be hacked which can possibly compromise the car making such a vehicle useless and absolutely worthless. Are these vehicles by RIVIAN completely hack proof as you could say to any...
