The Rivian Adventure Network has crossed 1,000 chargers across 148 sites in North America, with new openings in Independence, Missouri and Rocklin, California, and a 98% reliability score that earns it an A rating.
VION just dropped a grey version of their R1 roof sunshade that matches the Ocean Coast interior on the R1T and R1S. They sent one over to test, so here is a quick look plus where to grab one with 10% off. Black is still around for the Black Mountain crowd too.
NHTSA reopened the Rivian rear toe link issue in late May, and the new investigation covers 114,922 R1T and R1S vehicles, far more than the roughly 20,000 caught up in January's recall. An investigation is not a recall and it may close with nothing, but the jump from a few thousand serviced cars to nearly the entire modern R1 fleet is the part worth watching, especially landing weeks before R2 deliveries start.
Rivian Care is no longer Texas-only. The optional Assurant-backed protection program is now live in six states, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, New York, Oregon, and Texas, with a national rollout still on the way. Here's what's covered and how to get it.
Everyone checks range, price, and power first. The stuff that actually decides an R2 order is what Rivian buries, the frunk space, the tire situation, the heat pump, V2L, color by trim, and what it's really getting cross-shopped against. One reference to keep open while you configure.
