Ask us Rivian R1T owners ANYTHING [AMA]!

[godfodder0901]

Thank you.

No show stopers just a little disappointing. Maybe someday in the future.

My wife will need to drive the R1T but is concerned it may drive like a F150, big. Your thoughts?

Smaller and easier to drive than an F-150.

Many of my questions have been asked and answered, so thanks again for your generosity in letting us live vicariously though you. One thing I'm curious about -- how well do the rain sensing wipers work? It's a pretty uneven experience in my GC.

Haven't had a chance to use them yet.

Tow mode has standard and low height available. In standard I measured ~21 and 1/8" to the top inside of the hitch receiver. In low it was ~19 and 3/16". Distance from the hitch pin hole to outside bumper edge is roughly 4.25-4.5 inches.

Awesome. Thanks!

Did Rivian say anything about the membership program? Specifically delaying the free first year until the benefits are up and running?

 

[Gsxr150]

Yes. Still there.

What are those LEDs for??

How about that in door flashlight? Great tool or cool party trick?

Are the back seats wide enough for 3 adults?

Can a car seat be placed in the middle and an adult on either side?

Enough space for three adults? I'm gonna say "not exactly" lol Did you see the video? Shatner was pretty annoyed he got the hump... wait no hump!

My question to ask you anything....where do babies come from?

@godfodder0901 @timesinks THANK YOU from the 20 Questions guy!!! Living vicariously through your answers *almost* feels like owning an R1T myself. Seriously, thanks again!

I mean, they DID fit. No one likes riding in the middle seat with 3 adults in the back of just about anything.

My feeling is - will it seat 3 from home to the store/restaurant/gym/whatever? Yeah, anything within 30 mins drive time is probably tolerable. Will it seat 3 adults for an 8 hour road trip? I mean... technically, probably not something you actually want to do.

Also Shattner isn't exactly slender. I think if you had a smaller/slimmer person in the middle that's just fine - again for reasonable, local trips. If you're putting linebackers, or the local buffet demolition crew back there, then any vehicle is only gonna seat 2 no matter what the sticker says.

Does a vehicle exist where three typically sized adults can sit comfortably in the rear seat - or an adult between two car seats? Maybe something like a Suburban?

 

[godfodder0901]

speaking of turning radius, @godfodder0901 can a u-turn be accomplished in one movement on a regular residential street, or is it a multi-point turn?

I haven't measured it, but it is quite a bit bigger than my 2015 Sienna, which had a better turning radius than it had any right to, and a little larger than my '04 Civic. Not bad, but not great.

 

[godfodder0901]

I agree they use cellular data. So does Rivian have something like OnStar? Or is a subscription to AT&T required?

They have SOS.
