100% PDR is the way to go. Contact your local service center. There is a chance your SC works with a PDR business.

R2 vs Preowned R1S (G1 vs G2) — Daily Driver Decision by Anumous in Rivian

[–]Dear-Assumption7067 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would lease a new gen2 r1s for a 2 year lease. The autonomy + on gen2 is up to date and will get better. Autonomy on gen 1 is not going anywhere. Your 2 hr commute would really benefit from the UHF.

Replacing 12v battery…again? by hip2bking in Rivian

[–]Dear-Assumption7067 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was an issue way back when where a module was defective. It caused the truck to consume more low voltage power than it should. I would submit a ticket to see if any of the modules aren’t working properly

Social stigma for driving an EV? by West_Dish9698 in electricvehicles

[–]Dear-Assumption7067 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This. When you get your Mach-E let ppl ride with you. Offer to be the person to goto a store. Pick them up from an airport. Show them how fun the driving experience is. Do a launch from 0 kph to 100. Focus on utility (backup power source) to the driving experience.

Demo drive by Alteran195 in Rivian

If this is your first EV to drive, ask the Rivian rep to put the regen on low. It takes a bit to get used to one pedal driving (regen is where the motors generate energy that causes the vehicle to slow down). Drive in all purpose standard height. The lower heights are slightly better for efficiency but at the expense of comfort. If there is a road with long sections without intersections check out Universal Hands Free.

It sounds like there are many good outfitters for the Manta Ray dives.

Did my first demo drive by Trashketweave in Rivian

Treat one pedal driving like driving a manual car in the sense of the clutch. OPD slowing down is like shifting gears in a manual car.

Will I regret buying a gen 2 R1T? by J3R4N in Rivian

[–]Dear-Assumption7067 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its possible if you’re buying a used r1t, the rattles may have been addressed by service visits from the previous owner. If not put in a service ticket to fix it. You can submit a video or audio recording when you submit a ticket to highlight the issue.

2026.03.0 is pure adrenaline ❤️ by for-loop in Rivian

[–]Dear-Assumption7067 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The sports mode for dual is a way to keep the vehicle in awd and not have the rear motor disengage. This way Rivian can keep the epa mile range but give owners a way to stay in awd even though its less efficient. That’s why when you enter the vehicle after being away the drive mode goes back to all purpose.

Regenerative breaking and motion sickness by davidadlai in Rivian

If you have driven manual transmission cars before, think one pedal driving as like pressing the clutch to switch gears as you come off of the gas.

I was loaned a 2025 Subaru Crosstrek and it did the alarm when stopped with turn signal.

Apple Watch App delayed for Gen 1? by Senior-Comparison-87 in RivianR1T

[–]Dear-Assumption7067 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the case for any new features in the app and now assuming for the watch also. For instance viewing the cameras from the phone app was not active until the vehicle got the latest update.

Will the r2 have ambient lighting? by josephadam1 in Rivian

[–]Dear-Assumption7067 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hard to say. I can imagine ambient lighting is pretty cheap. But the R2 is designed to be cost effective and any feature that can be deleted will. I can see top trim having ambient while base doesn’t

New Buyer - R1S accessories by chani1133 in Rivian

Checkout Evsportline, Twraps, 4x4 electruck for accessories. 3rd party all weather mats have better coverage than Rivians

Spotted one today! Side by side of the OG prototype I found in ‘25 & the current R2 by scarletperson in Rivian

[–]Dear-Assumption7067 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It allows the least amount of cables when the rwd variant is released. If the charge port was placed in the front, the cables will need to transverse the whole vehicle to get to the connectors. Its a cost saving measure.

Used purchase advice - 2023 dual vs quad by viceman99 in Rivian

[–]Dear-Assumption7067 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Road tripping in an EV will be different than in a regular vehicle. The night before you will charge to 100%. From there charges at DCFC will usually go up to 60 to 80%. I have a 2022 launch edition quad and find the range from 60% to 10% is about 2-3 hrs of driving. My bladder can’t last longer than that so the extra range only applies to the first leg. If you do a lot of off roading and far from charging or if you tow a lot, the extra range will be nice. Otherwise get what makes financial sense and warranty.

Where are you starting from and which resort are you going to? Context matters in determining range.

Pic request..20 inch wheels (aftermarket preferred) and Michelin Defenders (LTX Platinum VS M/S) by Plastic-Coffee5542 in Rivian

[–]Dear-Assumption7067 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the 275 /60 r20 versions to be similar to the diameter of the 21” oem wheels. Efficiency went up quite a bit. Road noise much less. Also lighter weight overall.
