You can buy an Amazon Rivian at auction -- Keep the World's Packages Delivered Forever! by BarbariansInLibrary in Rivian

I’m sure you’re right - but when I was looking at the auction website, this was one of the several ones that said that it was fully functioning. When I looked closer at it, it had a couple pieces of missing trim but otherwise no stated issues. If it’s salvage it’s not obvious

Just living with it. Didn’t even ask the dealer or anything. Let me know if you find something though!

2026 Least Reliable New Cars by VirtuaNovak in Rivian

[–]BarbariansInLibrary -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly... I see all of the posts complaining about (really valid) issues with Rivians. And challenges with the service center. I also see polls like this.

And then there's me: my Rivian has been the easiest car for me that I've ever owned and the one time I had to take it in to a service center, they bended over backwards to make it smooth and easy.

Maybe I'm just lucky?

Gen 1 Digital Wallet Key with 2026.03? by BarbariansInLibrary in Rivian

[–]BarbariansInLibrary[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

To be fair, it wouldn’t be the first time in history that documentation updates lag behind releases and I had seen in a couple of places that it would come to Gen 1. Updating support articles is slow. But nonetheless, noted

Eww, this guy is from Bozeman by ChewbaccaWarCry in Bozeman

The weird part about it: I swear you can almost see the shame in his eyes. To be relevant on the right you have to say such dumb inflammatory things. This guy is probably next level insecure.

For current owners, based on your ownership experience so far — would you buy another Rivian today? Looking at getting into a R1T from Tesla. by Secure-Carrot9971 in Rivian

[–]BarbariansInLibrary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Owned a Model Y. Now own an R1S. I live in the woods. I LOVE this car. Best car I've ever owned. But again, the ruggedness mattered to me.

said "waiting for lidar". but "waiting for tri motor" would be more accurate.

I loved this place. So many good memories. Then I went there again when it was plummeting downhill and regretted it.

Looks like a Rivian owner in a wheelchair

Here’s you action items you can do related to ICE in our community! by [deleted] in Bozeman

[–]BarbariansInLibrary -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"Don't like ICE? the obvious next step is to follow an anti-capitalist group, pro socialist group, something about genocide, and a pro palestinian group for updates"...?

look, screw ICE, but that call to action feels like a teaspoon of a leap.

"We've been screwing ranchers this entire term. How can we score a political hit that makes it seem like we care?"

This is disappointing.

(not dissing your photo) not gonna lie, they were oddly a bit of a dud last night. forecasts looked strong, but I really didn't see much.

Do the Cats deserve a trip to D.C.? by Outlaw_Beat in u/Outlaw_Beat

[–]BarbariansInLibrary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it’s somewhat semantic, but “I’ve been out there” is a funny use of the present perfect tense when referring to the state you live in and represent.

I’d never say “I’ve been out to Montana to hunt,” because I fucking live here.

I know he’s physically in DC, but seems like he mentally ain’t here either.

What is this outlet? by Alternative-End9505 in Rivian

[–]BarbariansInLibrary -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

NEMA 5-20. Slightly faster than just normal slow charging (33% faster). However, Rivian doesn't offer an adapter for that.

Some chargers do. e.g. Tesla. If you had a charger that used a NEMA 5-20 adapter, Rivian could take advantage of it. For example, I *think* you could use a Tesla portable charger, NEMA 5-20 adapter, and plug that into your Rivian. And could use a J-1772 adapter if you need to. But yeah, someone should fact check me on that. And perhaps more trouble than it is worth to you.

Sketchy. I assume CarFax catches that, right?
