Needed service right after getting ours for part loose from factory. They called me next morning and came to me and fixed day after. Was pretty happy with that, but should not have needed. Now have some dash rattles I need to get fixed.
Glad to hear the Rivian service experience was top notch. The company is definitely going thru growing pains, but they seem to be really trying to establish a good business with loyal customers.
I was really surprised at the quality of their service, but their customer service was outstanding notwithstanding that the service center is brand new, and the company is new. If they can keep this up this will serve them well in the future. Thanks for commenting!
@@thedukeofmiddleville Great to hear. Yes, lots of good signs for Rivian's future. I'm a fan of RJ and his ideas on building a quality, ethical business in a quiet way. Nice contrast with Musk. Makes it easy to be supportive of the company. Keep up the great videos, I always enjoy your content.
My EV is an Ariya and my ICE vehicle is a Murano (both Platinum trims). I don't like driving the Murano but mine is NOWHERE close to being as bad as that rental you got! Finally got my first test ride of an R1S at the opening of the Rivian Experience Center in Chicago. It was amazing! Great video, brother!
The Nissan Murano is a very nice vehicle. I'm just spoiled from driving the Rivian😆 How do you like the Ariya? I would like to review one at some point. Yes, the R1S is really nice, but I haven't had a chance to test drive one yet. I was really hoping they give me one for a loaner. Well maybe next time. Are you buying an R1S? Thanks for commenting!
@@thedukeofmiddleville the Ariya's biggest problem is its price! 6 or 7K less it would be better than any other car in the segment. As for a review, you're in Southern Illinois & I'm in Northern Illinois. Let's make something happen!
I have watched a couple of your videos and think you are good for Rivian, but I am a bit of a clean freak and was horrified when you said you hadn’t cleaned your Rivian in 3 months😮😂 keep up the good work, maybe a video of you washing your Rivian could be next😂😂 I am now a subscriber 👍
Fantastic Video. You had Big Blue for a weekend with all terrain wheels. Cool. We are going to check all our outlets on our Big Red. Thanks for showing in your video how to turn on the outlets.
It's the 22s for me for style and efficiency. I am considering purchasing some all terrain tires for winter and offroading in the future. Thanks for commenting!
I had the oem 22” rims on delivery and was disappointed that I only got 6k mi on the Pirelli road tires. I also found out that tire manufacturers don’t produce tires for certain rim sizes and the Pirelli tires were the only option for the 22” for the Rivian and I didn’t want those tires again so I had to buy 20” aftermarket rims and had many choices at that point and went with the Nitto Grappler Recons and have been happy since.
Thanks for the heads up! I just checked the video on TH-cam on 3 different computers, and the sound is working fine throughout the entire video. So, I not sure where the issue may be. Thanks for the comment!
Not an excuse, but exterior door trim fell off my parents' Escalade as well within a year of ownership. Legacy auto vs Startup. Sometimes they aren't that different in quality.
These are very minor issues. Rivian makes excellent vehicles period! The fact that they are new to this is amazing! These other car manufacturers better take note. Thanks for commenting!
Would be nice to get a Rivian as a loner 😂 I have had to get a Enterprise rental both times with my service at the Richmond Va location F-250 since I needed to tow with it. 100$ to fill up after 2 days of driving 😕
I understand what you mean! I had no ideal how much I would dread having to fill up a big truck along with the huge loss in quality and performance😪 On the other hand, that Rivian loaner was nice to have! Thanks for commenting
That was not good service my brother ,I have never got an old gas vehicle got a Tesla.They knew that they didn’t have that part before you got there. By the way, how was that lousy Charging on your trip?
I would hope the most profitable car company and biggest EV manufacturer in the world would provide a Tesla. And I did have a Rivian R1T loaner for 5 days. The service was excellent. Rivian said something to Enterprise that was enough to have them begging for forgiveness, and they offered me a free rental of my choice, but nothing beats a Rivian IMO.

@@StubbyStan28 Yes, EVs are expensive. And that's an intriguing idea. I may have to take you up on that.

Thanks! It took me six months to check them, and we found out they didn't work when we really needed them. So, check them for sure.
@@thedukeofmiddleville will do, thanks
Sorry to hear, let's see how good they are
Rivian service was excellent. My next vehicle will be a Rivian. I am really impressed with their customer service.
Good news. I'm glad that Rivian didn't have the 'growing pains as Tesla.'@@thedukeofmiddleville
Having experienced the 20s and 22s. If you could do it over which one would you pick and why?
It's the 22s for me for style and efficiency. I am considering purchasing some all terrain tires for winter and offroading in the future.

Just fyi, the sound cuts out at 15:35 for the rest of the video. I appreciate you showing your service experience, though.

How do you like the black vs white interior?
I like all of the Rivian Interiors, but three of my last 4 cars had black interiors, so It I am enjoying the ocean coast (light grey) Interior.
@@thedukeofmiddleville I’m not sure which one I should go for so I wasn’t sure which one to go for
