Ask us Rivian R1T owners ANYTHING [AMA]!

And there's no RAN station anywhere to charge from.

There are a few [CORRECTION:] way point chargers in San Francisco and supposedly Yosemite. You can see them on the map in the app, but gotta zoom way in.

DC or Level 2?

Semantics, but those are Rivian Waypoint chargers, not RAN.

I’ve figured it out. It’s set at a comfortable temperature… for the gear guard samsquanch wearing a puffy vest

Puffy vest, no shirt, shorts... That's a tough combination to match temp to!

Indeed! Original post corrected. Thanks!

We have that one and it is very nice. Worth the extra cost over no-names on Amazon? Always hard to tell. It's made from a very durable material and has some nice details like the various ways that it really secures to the seat. We also have a cheaper one that just hung without any lower attachments, and we definitely didn't like it as much.

I looked as some of the vented ones, but the mesh looked like a potential weak spot that a claw could rip through. The Kurgo's zipper in the middle adds two functions for us: 1) We can unzip it just enough to allow the rear AC vents to get some cool air (we have a Q5, so the rear vents are located similarly to the R1, at about seat height on the center console) and 2) You can unzip it fully and actually use one of the seats for a passenger.

I always feel better buying the more expensive product than the cheaper version just because I feel like it is better quality though that is not always the case. The Kurgo hammocks seem pretty good and I appreciate your firsthand review. I am a bit worried about dog hair from the sides, so I plan on getting a hammock and getting an attachment for my air compressor to vacuum up dog hair.

Seems like the garage door interface is not there yet, has anyone asked their guide or the delivery person if there is an ETA for that?

I asked my guide about that today. She thinks there is software support for some types of openers and was going to forward the info to me. I will post what I get from her...

So, my Buyers agreement on step 6 shows mileage as 100. Whose already been joyriding my Rivian? ?. Or is this just a nice round number to include driving to my home etc if it’s not delivered on a flatbed?

Is it worth it?

For me - absolutely. The power is incredible. Ride quality on smooth roads is very very good. Handling is everything and more than I was expecting. It is not a C8 Z51, but it handles much like a heavy sport sedan that is very well composed without the rear end wanting to step out under power when exiting corners. I had the chance to hit some of my favorite curvy back roads this afternoon: 55 degrees and mostly dry. The only drawback being still a lot of leftover salt dust and sand on the roads from winter snow mitigation, so they are not really clean yet. That said, one road has several constant radius 90 degree corners (posted at 25 mph), both left and right handers. Went into them around 40 mph and came out between 50 and 60. It just sticks. No slippage, no drama, no body roll. Suspension set low in All-Purpose mode. It is very impressive. Can't wait for a bit of rain to clean off the roads so I can up the speed!

This thing is a hoot to drive!

Mine says the same thing too.

Mine said 100 - actual number was 30.

Ok, good to know. Thanks

Has it rained in your area? Sorry if it’s been answered but how waterproof is the truck bed with the tonneau cover?

Sorry for asking again but I could not find the answer. I’d be very surprised if it still hasn’t rained in Seattle.

 

[fastwheels]

Rain is forecast here for tomorrow and Saturday. I'll let you know how it goes.
