I find tidal even on the "hifi" setting sounds clearer than spotify's highest quality setting.

related question: no support for audio over USB as far as you can tell so far, I take it?
Yeah, Spotify is kind of crap.

No USB audio support. Hopefully s00n!!

What is it like with the big glass roof? Is it ever distracting when something passes over the top? I know it's tinted but does the sun ever become an annoyance?

Never had those issues in either of my full-glass-roof vehicles. Definitely not distracting while driving, unless you're so easily distractible you shouldn't be driving to begin with.

Not distracting as a passenger, but wonderful when you just want to recline and stare at the trees passing overhead as you drift off to sleep.

Every glass roof I've had has been strongly tinted enough to prevent excessive light or heat. I live in the PNW so it's not ridiculously hot up here in the summer (usually), but yea, none of this has ever been a concern for me.

During my test drive in an LE R1T I felt the glass was sufficiently darkly tinted to be a good comparison to the vehicles I've previously had so I'm expecting absolutely no issues in it.

Everything @Inkedsphynx said. I wear a hat most of the time, and literally never even notice the roof.

Any pictures of how dim the screens can go at night? Most of my driving is after dark on rural back roads and I don't want bright screens ruining my night vision. How is the backlighting? When dim, are the screens closer to true black/off or do they have a lot of light bleed?

Along the same lines, how do the screen graphics change during daylight, and when you turn on the headlights? AKA night mode, etc.

Pictures are really hard for gauging screen brightness, but I find the dimmest option to be good for night time purposes in totally dark surroundings. I didn't feel like it compromised my night vision at all. My one related gripe is the music pop over with the album art -- if a light-colored album graphic displays, it is bright.

Perfectly bright for daytime visibility too. Though, when the screen displays a white background, the reflection off the driver side window in certain outdoor lighting conditions can be distracting.

Sorry if this has been asked already...

Can you see the location of the Rivian through the apps charging map? Or anything that says where the car is?

Any way to make it honk or flash lights in a parking lot through the app or fob? I know, blue Rivian is SO hard to find in a parking lot...

Rivian R1T R1S Ask us Rivian R1T owners ANYTHING [AMA]! C599C0D5-389D-479D-9AE7-699E8052018C


Tapping this in the app will drop a pin in your mapping app of choice.

I have not seen any way to request the vehicle play Marco Polo with you.

Does anyone have a front license plate and if so can you post a close up shot?

Also! Can you de-badge the Rivian? i.e. take off the words "Rivian" on the side and back?

Not that it matters much, as I'll be finding out next week, but still curious to know and maybe others are as well.

Does the Rivian have a setting where it will recognize highway speed limit signs and control the truck's speed within those set limits. Such as, if you want to set the speed to 5 mph above, or below, the road posted speed limit sign......"Speed Limit Sign Recognition" Is this located in the Owner's Manual?

This has been verified to exist, in another post, but I've not seen it explained in the Owner's Manual, or possibly I've overlooked it.....Thanks

Did this part of the app not work until after you signed in person?

I'm wondering if I can somehow find the current location of my in process Rivian, lol

Is it in any way obvious how you would change the Rivian account for the truck if someone decided to sell it in 15 years?

Has anyone with an R1T tried towing with it? Curious if it has all the standard hookups (incl brakes?). I was asked at an RV dealership if it had a trailer brake hookup. I had no clue. maybe that's not standard...
