Ask us Rivian R1T owners ANYTHING [AMA]!

[No.92]

Apologies if this is answered in the owner’s manual.

If you leave the key wrist band and/or key card in the truck, can you walk away and still lock the truck with the phone or key fob?

Yes. The wristband and key card are NFC devices and need to be within an inch of the reader

We have so far left the key fob at home. Our phones work ok as keys (we have the card keys in our wallets just in case). Vehicle locks automatically if it detects the key (phone) has gone far enough away. I have not been manually locking it. There is a chirp that confirms lock and a different sound effect that seems to convey "I won't lock because something is still open."

It is a little annoying that it seems like I have to turn my phone screen on to get it to first unlock the vehicle (don't have to unlock the phone, can just tap the wake button while it's still in my pocket).

We are on different software builds, but my phone as a key works flawlessly... I think it was one of the things that was improved.

How many seconds does it take to get it in drive and moving? Does it differ from unplugged vs plugged in? I'm a firefighter/EMS volunteer and time to leave the house is very important. Hoping there isn't a long bootup sequence.

Thanks guys for doing this. Appreciate you all taking the time. Enjoy your truck. Drive safe.

Regarding testing OutofSpec will have charging curves and a range test very soon. We probably don't need to have owners do it anymore.

I haven't been adventurous enough to go digging for the batteries or fuse panel. They are behind various plastic cladding. Doesn't seem like it would be super easy, and I'll probably wait for someone else to do a full tear down. There is a 12V receptacle under the main screen up front, so you can easily get access for something like a radio.



I wasn't sure it's enabled because it isn't working for us. But I haven't ruled out our driveway being a bit of a dead spot (and as I wrote this, I noticed @godfodder0901 reporting it's working for him). Hmm... more testing needed.



Sorry, no idea. That's probably one to press support (or even the service staff) on.



There is a rear camera view mode for the screen though.

Didn't bother discussing it with them, so I'm unsure.

So when you walk up to the truck using phone as a key, do you have to put your phone up to the door handle or does it detect it and unlock (once screen is on)?

Would be interesting to know what phones you guys are using.

 

[godfodder0901]

Can you keep the rear view camera on the center screen 100% of the time while driving?

Absolutely you can. Forward as well, if you choose.

1. What do you think of the sound system?

2. Is the road/wind noise low at 70mph or average?

3. How's your experience with the UI having no hard buttons or dials?

4. Are the interior door handles annoying to pull (weird angle)?

5. What kind of attention are you getting on the road and in lots?

6. Are you happy with the ext. color, int. color, and wheels you chose?

7. Where do you put the groceries? Frunk? Back seat? Gtunnel?

8. If you put something heavy in the bed, is it extra hard to slide it in and
slide it out, given the gooseneck liftgate creating extra distance?

9. What do you think of the power tonneau?

10. Do you feel any cold drifting down on your neck from the roof glass?

11. Do the power windows roll all the down on a one-touch, and all the way up on a one-touch, or do you have to hold the switch the whole time?

12. How fast does the vent heat warm up? In my ICE I have to wait for the engine to warm up.

13. What's your preferred ride height and ride stiffness?

14. When you park does the truck lower the suspension to make it easier to get in and out?

15. What surprises you as being extraordinarily thoughtful -- some element of the experience that just makes you happy and grateful?

16. What is profoundly annoying about the vehicle where you can't believe *this* made it all the way into the production vehicle?

17. What have you done to push the boundaries on the truck? Has it performed well?

18. What do you wish the truck had, but doesn't?

19. How's the acceleration at, say, 65 mph, when you need a burst of speed to get around a yahoo? Is there a delay?

20. How do you find one-pedal driving? What level of regen do you prefer?

THANKYOU!

Is it everything you hoped it would be? Worth the cost?

Does this screen activate automatically when put into reverse?

thanks For all of you taking the time to answer all the questions you are able to!
Edit: my phone messed the quote up. That should have been the reverse picture you shared

 

[godfodder0901]

So when you walk up to the truck using phone as a key, do you have to put your phone up to the door handle or does it detect it and unlock (once screen is on)?

Just unlocks. I never take my phone out of my pocket.

Yes, but can be manually selected at any time.

It's faster than you are. You won't be waiting for the truck.
