Independent ownership resource sharing real-world experiences, reviews, and useful tools for current and future Rivian owners.
After ordering my Rivian R1S, I spent months researching ownership experiences, charging, accessories, software updates, and delivery expectations. I found useful information scattered across YouTube, Reddit, forums, and Facebook groups — but there wasn't one place that combined practical ownership content with a clean, straightforward experience.
Rivian Resource started as a simple referral page, but quickly evolved into a broader ownership-focused resource where I can document long-term experiences and share things I personally found useful.
Las Vegas-based. The R1S is both my daily driver and family vehicle. Most driving is pavement-focused, but the vehicle will also be used for road trips throughout the Southwest — Zion, Big Bear, Eastern Sierra.
My previous vehicles were a Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe and a Land Rover Discovery, so I came into Rivian ownership with realistic expectations about modern vehicle reliability and technology.
The goal is a useful long-term ownership resource — not another generic automotive news site. Content is based entirely on personal experience with the vehicle.
