Ask us Rivian R1T owners ANYTHING [AMA]!

[NY_Rob]

How the hell did it pass inspection?

Well, we know Rivian hired employees away from Tesla.. maybe not just engineers...

Don't know if this has already been answered. Was there anything in agreement that prevents owners from selling vehicles immediately???

No. this is not ford.

Thanks Jared. Below is where I had asked that question in the past, but I didn't give enough information to Iwantatesla. I know Ford has it and I also saw it in a Tesla......I like the idea of coming into a city and the vehicle automatically adjusts the cruise control speed to the current speed limit, with your settings (above or below the speed limit). A good way to avoid speeding in speed traps.

Ah you mean the offset when on cruise or speed warning. It will not adjust TACC based on speed limit but it does tell you what the speed limit is via the dash display.

Sorry if this has been asked and answered already. I just couldn't go through pages and pages of this thread (lame, I know....)

If you haven done it already, would you please:

- Range difference on the highway driving at 70 or higher with regen braking set to low vs high over at least 10 miles or so.

The reason I ask is that on my Model 3, by changing the regen braking to low from standard (allowing the vehicle to coast more rather than braking when accelerator pedal is not depressed), it actually increases the range by 10% or so. In other words, no one pedal driving but not having to constantly be on or off the "go" pedal.

The increase in range is greater for not having the motor spike up and down constantly for small pedal inpust, than having higher regeneration adding charge back into the batteries. So for long range freeway driving, it pays off.

Thanks in advance.

Interesting behavior of ACC experienced yesterday. I set ACC for 55mph on a back road and as I went into a 90 degree curve (marked as 45 mph) the system seemed to be confused with speed dropping quickly, then speeding back up briefly, then slowing again before speeding back up to 55 as I existed the corner. Kinda spooky actually. In the future I will be disabling ACC prior to any sharper corners. It was fine for any other curves on that road.

Yes, so if it's not confident enough for severe curves it will disable that's one thing I noticed.

Still hoping you can answer my question about the plastic ‘pucks’ covering the bolts (?) in the bed walls. Are there nuts or bolts under these ? I want to mount some L track …

This is why I really liked the prototype R1T design with paddles. I could see myself dialing in the regen during drives to get max regen or coast, when appropriate. Sad to see that feature dropped.

Did anyone find their FINANCING through CHASE as a competitive option?

Sorry if this is a repeat question...

What comes standard for dealing with a flat tire with R1T if you do NOT opt for the full size spare?

I think it comes with a donut. I have the full size spare, but the owners manual mentioned a donut and you must inflate before using. In hindsight I should of probably skipped the full size spare, as I thought it didn't have a donut at all.

nope, penfed was much better.

So there are only two options for regen, Standard and High and honestly they are both VERY aggressive. Standard lets the stops draw out a little bit longer then high but that's it. There is no option for low or off but I can't imagine them NOT adding it in the future and i'm surprised it's not already there.

For city driving the High setting is amazing once you get used to it, you will be feathering the throttle a lot also. A low or off setting on the freeway would be nice.

Another reason for low or off setting is for new EV drivers *cough cough* my wife, she actually picked up on regen pretty quick but it would be nice to have her learn the car in phases and introduce regen later.

Unless the state being delivered to requires a spare provided there is not one. The inflatable spare referenced is the option for the R1S, it will not fit a standard full size tire. It does inflate to full size, it is not a donut. Both the R1S and R1T include the jack and tools when the optional spare is purchased.

@SANZC02 is correct, but there would be a tire repair kit as well.
