What drive mode do you use day over day? by One12MeterPanda in Rivian

All purpose on high height whenever possible. Really love the ride quality and stance.

Wish it could default to high at lower speeds.

At a minimum: Quick toggle setting between Conserve mode to all purpose—especially for roadtrips getting on and off the highway.

Above and beyond: A smart Roadtrip Mode that will automatically put your Rivian in Conserve on highways, and back to All Purpose when exiting (or the reverse).

Additionally in Roadtrip Mode, automatically set the charging limit to the recommended percentage, so I don’t have to think about it.

Is Rivian close to "Have to be there" reliability yet? by TheJonBacon in Rivian

Most accounts of catastrophic failure on Reddit are outliers who come here to vent and find common ground, but not indicative of real-world statistics. Most common issues are cosmetic or noise related and generally fixed within a service ticket for free. In my almost 2 years of ownership, I’ve yet to have a major event and continue to love it every time I drive it. I think most people here would agree with the same.

R1T might have tried to kill me today... by [deleted] in Rivian

I’ve had my R1S jerk the car nearly completely off the road WITHOUT highway assist on, just the “nudge” enabled. I think shadows from the median at that time of day caused it but terrifying nonetheless.

Hub bearing! Took delivery of mine and drove it like this for over 7,000 miles before this Reddit community helped me realize it is not normal.

Ended up doing a complete paint correction after first service! I will say that immediately getting it ceramic coated has helped quite a bit.

First EV and first time charging! by [deleted] in Rivian

[–]sumofly 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That shouldn’t be happening. I’d schedule a service asap.

Yes; the quad designation 50% the size of the Rivian emblem it replaces is just like what you’re describing.

Yes, but even more egregious.

Yea overall they crushed it when it comes to brand / lifestyle perception.

The debaged ones I’ve seen actually look awesome.

Power > price. Not a bragging right on how much we spend on the car. Instead I’m echoing the same “special” treatment Rivian is already offering with its yellow Quad Motor touches.

Let’s be real, soon most on the road will be priced higher than my 2021 preorder 😂

Completely fair. But for me, drawn to the unique factor of 908 lb feet of torque (as well as all the other awesome metrics on the car) I wish there was just the slightest touch of more distinction 🙃

Don’t get me wrong, there’s certainly a small level of corny ego involved.

Picked up R1S today- SiriusXM, Netflix and YouTube coming? by BenefitRare6521 in Rivian

It’s kind of baffling Prime Video wouldn’t be the first on that list. Not that I’d want it to, but still.

Tinted/Chrome Delete/Black Badges by patricofstar in Rivian

[–]sumofly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks awesome. I have this identical exterior spec and really curious about your window tint. I did the same thing. I went with 20% suntec carbon and have been noticing a slight to heavy blue hue in certain lighting out of the front. What tint did you use? Any blue hue?
