The lesser half of Nikki McGovern. Rivian R1T owner.

@R1Stephanie @Hilbe Ha. I’m good. I give up because his Indiana SC has shirts and swag and or St. Augustine SC doesn’t. Rivian sense.

[Jimmy McGovern @Jimcgov]

@Hilbe I give the other half your number…don’t worry 🤣

[Jimmy McGovern @Jimcgov]

@SP_LimitReviews Yeah. The s00nish one. 🤣

[Jimmy McGovern @Jimcgov]

@KevinMelnuk @Hilbe Why did you expect anything different? Rivian doesn’t do hype. It would upset somebody…yeah, somebody. Let’s go with that.

[Jimmy McGovern @Jimcgov]

@Hilbe Head to @a2zev and get an adapter for half what Rivian is charging and it’s better quality.

[Jimmy McGovern @Jimcgov]

@Scopeninja59038 @RivianTrackr There are multiple certified collision centers in Orlando…unless you’re referring to a Rivian owned one…I doubt we’ll see one of those for another 5+ years…if ever.

[Jimmy McGovern @Jimcgov]

@stealer82 @RivianTrackr Service center. Nothing fancy like that.

[Jimmy McGovern @Jimcgov]

@Lrawsignal @TravisKetchum @Mikekantorski @Hilbe @skyler_w @RivianTrackr @RivianUpdates @Rivian I would love to see service continue to improve. I know of a few owners, myself included who have been back to Service for the same issue within a few months...rear dampers failing in less than 3 months, low coolant after HVB/drive unit replacements, and more.

[Jimmy McGovern @Jimcgov]

I can't believe we're four months into 2026 and Rivian still hasn't left the pilot stage of Rivian Care in Texas for extended warranties without us having to go to 3rd party providers like XCare. @Hilbe @Mikekantorski @skyler_w @TravisKetchum @RivianTrackr @RivianUpdates

[Jimmy McGovern @Jimcgov]

@TravisKetchum @RivianTrackr @Hilbe @Mikekantorski @skyler_w @RivianUpdates V2H has been a carrot on a stick just lulling us into some version of comfort "knowing it's coming s00n". V2H is the new s00n...just like deliveries of our R1s were going to be s00n...

[Jimmy McGovern @Jimcgov]

@TravisKetchum @RivianTrackr @Hilbe @Mikekantorski @skyler_w @RivianUpdates None of it. I don't think Rivian has a plan for either of it. Rivian Care has been in Pilot in Texas for over a year. V2H has been a talking point since July 2021 when RJ mentioned it when the "Lucky 10" were invited to Normal for First Drives.

[Jimmy McGovern @Jimcgov]

@Hilbe @Mikekantorski @skyler_w @TravisKetchum @RivianTrackr @RivianUpdates RAP, Connect+, and referral points are all great, but a $17k repair bill means all that other crap is pointless.

[Jimmy McGovern @Jimcgov]

@Hilbe @Mikekantorski @skyler_w @TravisKetchum @RivianTrackr @RivianUpdates I urge all of you who still have a platform, quit pitching all the other BS and start talking about extended warranties from XCare or wherever. There are too many owners who are approaching 60,000 miles and have zero idea truly how expensive this truck is.

[Jimmy McGovern @Jimcgov]

@TravisKetchum @Mikekantorski @Hilbe @skyler_w @RivianTrackr @RivianUpdates @Rivian I'm glad I got my 60k miles out of the way quick and didn't wait for Rivian to figure our "Rivian Care".

[Jimmy McGovern @Jimcgov]

@TravisKetchum @Mikekantorski @Hilbe @skyler_w @RivianTrackr @RivianUpdates @Rivian Which adds THOUSANDS more to these already high bills.

[Jimmy McGovern @Jimcgov]

@Mikekantorski @Hilbe @skyler_w @TravisKetchum @RivianTrackr @RivianUpdates @Rivian On just the XCare side, they've covered $16k in warranted repairs. Rivian's 24 month unlimited mileage parts warranty has covered $7.5k in parts that failed prematurely.

[Jimmy McGovern @Jimcgov]

@Mikekantorski @Hilbe @skyler_w @TravisKetchum @RivianTrackr @RivianUpdates @Rivian By it from XCare now while you mileage is low. Every 10k miles you add increases the premium by 10-15%. I paid $6.5k for an additional 100,000 miles or 4 years of coverage, whichever comes first, while I had 59,472 miles.
