Ask us Rivian R1T owners ANYTHING [AMA]!

[Gavinmcc]

Winter with 20 degrees f, and highway speeds of 75 to 80 mph: you will lose 30-40 percent, in my experience with my electric motorcycle and Chevy Bolt.

Both cold and highway speeds decrease range.

In the city my bolt will go 300 miles. About 220 on Highway.
My motorcycle (8 years old) will go 100 miles in the city, about 70 on highway.

So for the R1T I expect it will go about 330-340 in the city and 240 ish on the highway? Remember 314 is an average of city and highway.

So 20 degrees and 75 mph, about 200 miles? Give or take.

Again, just based on prior experience and not R1T experience.

But Rivian, I'm happy to do some mileage tests here in Albuquerque. City, Highway, off road, through mud and snow. I'm just helpful like that.

this is the road leading up to a few acres we have in the Jemez Mountains. Late winter and spring are our least favorite time to go up there. A big part of my ordering a Rivian is this road.

I wanted to know the Load Height at lowest suspension setting. The height of the tailgate when opened. Thank you!!



About 33", though my driveway is sloped, so assume +/- an inch.

Maybe we need a mode that raises the front suspension to max height and lowers the rear to min?

I figured since there are a few new owners in here, we may want a place where you can ask your questions about the R1T directly to owners. I'm sure @timesinks, @JDMD, and soon @bowhunter and I would be happy to answer what we can! Also, it may be easier to read this thread if we stick to questions about current features vice discussion or debate about future features.

Does Rivian get the mileage that they claim?

I feel like I'm beating a dead horse here but I've still never seen a good answer to this question... how far is this truck going to go in conserve mode cruising at highway speeds? Obviously there are tons of variables but if someone wants to go for a drive (especially in winter temps on 20's), what type of range are we expecting to see?

Does Rivian get the mileage that they claim?

OutofSpec is getting the truck to review this week. So we'll have a standardized 70 mph range test from them soon.

Do the side mirrors tilt down when shifting to reverse?

No.

I mean, yes? If you drive at the speeds and conditions implied by the EPA test, you'll get the rated range out of it. I shared a trip report with some range analysis from a longer drive with some elevation change, 70mph speeds, etc.

 

[timesinks]

No.

But the rear camera mode that pops up on the screen shows the side cameras as well.

 

[mifj]

Where are 11 cameras located?

Has anyone other than @timesinks tried a DCFC session yet? I'm curious if their charging curve shenanigans may be due to the software version.

I will try and stop by one that is near where I work either tomorrow/Wednesday and document it.

Not yet. Planning to do so soon though. Happy to help, but need assistance on documenting the charging curve.

I wanted to chime in on a few of the earlier questions. Had a busy weekend at baseball and soccer games for my kids. Happy to report the gear tunnel is a godsend!

Mileage has been great so far, better than my Bolt, and definitely as advertised.

The wireless charging pad is finicky, but I was told to place my phone toward the outside of the pad, which allows for a second device. When I do that I have no problem.

What is the diameter of the cup holders in the center console? I’m trying to figure out how large of a tumbler or water bottle will fit in the cup holders. In fact, if you have a Yeti water bottle or tumbler specifically that fits, what size is it?

So you want prerunner mode. I could be for that. Make it fit in with the race truck.
