Really really considering buying this version of the R1S beause I don’t really need the speed of the tri and quad motors. And I can’t justify spending so much on it.
Dual motor max pack sounds like the right fit for me and my family but I never really see posts about it. So just wanted to see if people on here have it and their thoughts on it
I’m a graphic designer and spend a lot of time working from the car during my kids’ sports practices. I searched everywhere for a Rivian-friendly workstation with enough room for my laptop AND mouse, but couldn’t find anything quite right and not flimsy plastic. (The mouse is critical when you're a designer + elder millennial. I'm not a trackpad fan.)
So, my engineer-husband custom fabricated one specifically for my R1S, complete with routed edges and a custom-fit design that honestly feels like Rivian could have made it.
I pop sunshades over my windows, put on Spotify, connect to the Rivian hotspot, and soccer practice flies by.

To all you driving a rivian r1s , be careful when you park it inside your garage , my 8 month old 2025 caught on fire when parking and not charging
We love the car, but the way rivian handle this make me disappointed , i called rivian many time and no one can answer my simple questions like when they will come to check it out and investigation
Someone from rivian just contact me after like 2week, i told them im done with rivian
Need help in setting up text messaging. I can’t seem to solve what Bluetooth connection setting is needed for text. I checked both Phone and Car settings. Can someone please help me unstuck? Thank you.
Basically, The Gen 2 hardware would not be the limiting factor; in many areas (resolution, redundancy, compute) it is actually more capable on paper.
The main “bottlenecks” would shift from hardware to data scale, model training, and certification/regulatory rather than sensors or TOPS.
Tesla still ahead today because Tesla’s HW4 is paired with a much more mature behavior‑cloning‑style stack and enormous real‑world data volume, so even though Rivian’s sensors and nVidia Orin‑based compute are strong, Tesla’s software is the current performance ceiling.
The bottom line: I’ve heard that the ambition for Gen2 went from “Point to Point” in early 2025 to “on ramp to off ramp” in the last several weeks. But there’s no reason Rivian R1 Gen2 and early R2 (No LiDAR) vehicle owners should be limited from local, turn by turn, point to point autonomy.
Is it crazy to be annoyed by this change of tune by Rivian leadership?
So I went to a level 3 charger and when I plugged my car in I got a message saying “Vehicle battery issue
Service needed.” I called as I was charging the car and they set up an appointment for me for a regular service. I got the car with about 15k miles and I’ve had it for a year and it’s got about 43k miles. So I drove almost 27k miles in a year. When I get to the service center for my appointment I told them my name and let them know why I was here. The tech told me that they got a error or a type of code while looking into the “Vehicle battery issue
Service needed.” That appeared on screen so they are going to change out the entire battery. I asked can you explain the error code and the tech told me it was pages and pages of error code and that it would be hard to explain. It ended it with just think of it as your getting a brand new car. Obviously since the b battery of an Ev is like the engine of an ICE vehicle.
It is all under warranty and I’m getting a brand new battery from factory without even making a complaint about my battery. I am happy about getting a new battery and also how preemptive Rivian was on solving the issue before I even was made aware of it. I just wish I had some more information. They told me my warranty is still intact and it was nothing I did personally more of an internal issue with the battery. If any one has had this issue in the past I would love some details on this. They also mentioned my warranty was still until 175k miles.
So please let me know your thoughts or if anyone has any more information about this and or if they have had this happen in the past and why?
Hello - we are taking our 2025 Rivian R1S to the service center for the first time: 7,500 mile service! Does it sound right for this to be $375? Tire rotation/rebalance and multi point inspection? For comparison... our Tesla tire rotation only is < $90 and they do it as a mobile appointment

Looking at used 2025 R1S dual max performance with about 10k miles, clean title. What would be a fair asking price?
We have a '26 R1S and a '23 Tesla model 3. The Tesla has a great dog mode and an internal camera that lets me see what the pups are up to in real time. The pet mode in the R1S is pretty good, but I cannot figure out a way to see inside the cabin. I'm pretty sure there is an internal camera? Any ideas or suggestions. It's a lot more relaxing to leave them in the car running an errand or the like when you can see what they are doing.
Correct me if I am wrong or if I am not remembering correctly. Teslas in car route planning allows us to enter multiple addresses randomly and then the computer will process and plan the most efficient route for you. Unless you move the destination based on your preference. Is that right?
Now is there an option for our Rivian in car route planner? If yes, please tell me how to select it? Thanks!
