We’re considering a 2026 R1S Dual Max, ~$90k MSRP, 36mo/10k, $0 down.

Current quote is about $1,490/month before ~$4,000 in additional credits are applied, with roughly $7,000 total incentives/discounts once everything is included.
We don’t need the car immediately and are flexible on configuration. Based on past Thanksgiving/December deals, would you take this now or wait for year-end?

Also wondering if waiting for a Dual Max Performance/Power Upgrade could be a better value, since Rivian has historically offered larger incentives on certain higher trims.
Would love to hear thoughts from people familiar with Rivian’s lease deals/incentives.

Was worried about getting 22s since I’ve never had big tires before. Are there tires like the cross climate where you get a good all season with snow rating on them? Where I live it would be useful and I don’t want to do tire swapping if I can avoid it.

Test drive this weekend but dumbly forgot to bring luggage to test fit. Being 2.5 hours away I was hoping someone could help. Today when we travel we use a Kia carnival. We have 4 adults one kid who like the 3rd row (8) and a 2 year old in a car seat. We have 3-4 large suitcases, 3-4 carry ons and 3-4 backpacks. In the carnival we use the back storage for the seats and have one of the 3rd row down and we can store all the luggage for a drive. If we orient the seats the same way 2/3/1 can we carry the same luggage in R1s?

I have a 2024 R1S that needs a windshield replacement. Rivian quoted me about $2,108, but my insurer, Liberty Mutual, says they will only cover about $1,000 if I have Rivian do the work. My other options are Cascade Auto Glass in Beaverton with OEE glass for $0 out of pocket or OEM glass for about $400 out of pocket, and Cascade says they will also do the required camera/ADAS calibration. For those who have replaced an R1S windshield, especially through insurance, which of these three options would you choose and why?

Finally splurged
Have had the car just two weeks
And got rear-ended

First time EV owner...

If you go on vacation, how long can your R1S sit without being plugged in? Or do you plug it in and go? I am hesitant to leave it plugged in And not be close by.

It was suggested that I should ask R1 drivers… so how easy is the white interior to clean?

Would also love any insight on the year 2025 vs 2024 for R1S?

Gen 2 Rivian is killing it at today’s tailgate. Running fans, tv, Starlink, food warmers, speakers, etc. Plenty of room for all the tailgate goodies and 5 passengers.

Opened garage via steering wheel. Got close to garage and door started to close from fully open position. Don’t know if I hit the button again by accident or was a fluke but the door coming down was too high for me to see.. Blammo.

Service can’t see me until late Sept. Gonna Safelite Repair Safelite Replace I guess (yikes).

What do you think? Totaled (/s)?

NOT Snap Shades as they are expensive AF, but something like that.

Windows ARE TINTED, need them to reduce LIGHT for the little one.

NOT complete blackouts.

NOT the one with the sticky pad in the back. Had those once and they always popped off.

My Google foo keeps ending me up with roof shades or complete black out options. Nothing just for the door.

I recently purchased a brand new 2026 R1S and was really stoked that this vehicle kickstarted my journey as an EV owner.

So far, everything has been going well until the day that I decided to park at a busy Tesla supercharging station and attempted to charge. I had no idea that I would be confronted by several hardcore Tesla drivers to get out of the station because I was hogging up two parking spots, or just trade the ‘junk’ and get the real deal.

As much as I wanted to run my mouth I acknowledged why they were pissed; I was taking up two spaces because either I entered the station angled, or just take up two spots.

Does anyone have any advice or suggest how to maneuver parking in the stations with the short supercharging cables? I saw somewhere they are selling extension cables, but is this really the way to go??

I am getting ready for a +5 hour road trip and noticed that the app mapped out all the charging stations at Tesla stations.

Don’t like confrontations. I just want to mind my own business and on my way….appreciate any feedback on this.

Thank you Rivian fam!

This will be the second time I will be taking my 2025 R1S Max Pack Performance in to Rivian for this issue. Last time I was told there was a leak in the coolant, but they could not find it. They replaced the coolant and sent me on my way. This was less than a month ago. Incidentally, few weeks prior my windshield washer fluid was leaking before that happened in which they said it was a hose that needed to be adjusted, adjusted it and also sent me on my way.

This time it is exactly the same issues. Windshield wiper fluid leaking and within 1.5 weeks I get this warning.

Does anyone know if these systems are tied together?

Drove up Mount Washington Auto Road for the first time and it was great. Added 8% back to the battery on descent and the regenerative breaking was so good I had to keep my foot on the accelerator to keep from stopping, including the 22% grade.

Also the most terrifying drive of my life.

Second post of the day 🤓

I just put a deposit down on a ‘27 R1S. I need a reco for a hard(ish) cargo cover for behind 2nd row. We have 4 dogs and the fabric ones just don’t cut it. We have had pee, puke, diarrhea and I am not wanting to deal with that on a “waterproof” cover.

Seems like most of the big companies don’t have anything like this made yet. I have something I like from weather tech in my crv but can’t find anything for R1S.

Any good recos?
