Ask us Rivian R1T owners ANYTHING [AMA]!

Is there a heating element at the base of the windshield like in the Tesla? Nice in the snow/ice of the northeast.

Yes, the wiper rest point is heated.

For @Mark_AZR1T @805Badger @kylealden @ajbrutman @bael @RivChris @ssiminou @Lsthrz and anyone else who has signed PBA, what does 8-step program look like? Do you get an email, is there anything in the app, a special logo in your web account? Surely I can't be the only one franticly checking the app and account hourly looking for something new.

I'm simultaneously nervous about them trying to deliver while I'm out of town, but also antsy to move on to the next step. S00000n!

Got it -- I suspected I was misunderstanding. I'll try to snag that measurement in a bit if nobody else beats me to it. My software update is finally applying, so I can't change the ride height for the time being.

How are you liking the update? Did you guide say anything about the odd charging behavior?

Just signed the PBA today...haven't received the 8-steps yet. I think it'll just show up in our accounts, and we'll get an email to let us know it can be completed.

I too check the account every so often to see if something has changed. After all, I discovered I had a guide assigned in the first place by clicking on the question mark, and I reached out to him before he reached out to me.

@Riviot Somehow I think you are going to be ok Rivian will not let you float down the stream unwanted...

I have not heard a thing in the few hours since signing myself and am looking for the 8-step 'process' but confident it will come through.

We're all part of the 8-step program until we get the Rivian in our hands!

See this post.

I think those (see the "this post" link above) might be ambient light sensors to allow the side-mirror to auto-dim during night driving.

Maybe. But the sensors face forward, and the rear view mirrors should dim based on the amount of light coming from behind the vehicle. My bet is for the auto dimming high beams, which work wonderfully!

Ah right, makes more sense.

I think @Riviot is really just worried about his wife claiming possession is 9/10ths of the law, if it’s delivered when he’s not home. ?

There‘s a photosensor behind the rear view mirror. The thingies on the side mirrors are LEDs for sure

Haven't spent too much time with it since applying the update. But seems like good changes overall.

Bluetooth key seems better. Didn't discuss our charge session with anyone at Rivian yet.

I womder if one of you might grab this measurement for me…

I didn't see if somebody already answered this for you, but it is 54 and 3/4".
