  1. Forest Edge Ascend Interior

    Nope! I have the Forest Edge interior in my G1 and love it. But not the combo you chalked up. Too much contrast.
  2. Need to reattach DC charging pin cap - push back on or adhesive?

    I have read conflicting information on these forums and others that it may not be covered under warranty and that Rivian’s solution is to replace the whole charging port and cables. I am taking the truck in Monday for other work, and will ask but am not willing to pay thousands of dollars for a...
  3. Need to reattach DC charging pin cap - push back on or adhesive?

    I recently did a day trip where I tried to charge at an FPL Evolution site. FPL uses MASSIVE cablesand handles that are highly unwieldy, and I noticed it was not seating exactly flush with my R1T charging port due to the strain. I started charging but almost immediately it stopped with a...
  4. CNBC: Rivian laying off hundreds of workers amid R2 launch

    From an outsider looking in (I have NO special knowledge), I interpret this as Rivian shifting from a significant push to start production of the R2 to actually selling (and servicing) them. This would indicate the company had to hire people to accelerate to get the R2 out and now don’t need as...
  5. Not possible to turn off 1 pedal driving?

    Too many people on here take the attitude that there is only one solution for everybody. One pedal driving IS NOT always better And Rivian should allow all options, IMO. I have had an R1T for two years and an Audi eTron for four years. While I have gotten used to the R1T one pedal driving, my...
  6. RiT - lease return questions

    Was this on your trade-in or the value of the R1 at turn in? In my lease (Florida) it specifically states a residual value to be paid to buy out, otherwise if I turn it in I believe the only deductions are a $500 fee, any excess mileage, any damage, and excessive tire wear. I got my lease in...
  7. R2 Jack Point Design - Potential Issues / Challenges

    Not clear in the picture but it appears that you could lift it with a standard floor jack without the use of pucks. The required use of pucks for R!’s is always a LIMFAC on who can service these, both in training and equipment.
  8. Does anyone else absolutely hate the Rivian Assistant voice?

    The Rivian AI voice does not sound grating to me, per se. And I am in Florida, not California. That being said, I find it annoying for the default always being female when the most common form of hearing loss is high frequency (which I have as a documented VA disability). That is why at home...
  9. Story: Introducing Rivian Assistant & Rivian Unified Intelligence. Unlock hands-free utility with Connect+

    I expect RA to gain vehicle functionality over time. My guess this was rolled out early without all the envisioned bells and whistles in the interest of sweetening the pot for Connect+ and selling more R2’s.
  10. Story: Introducing Rivian Assistant & Rivian Unified Intelligence. Unlock hands-free utility with Connect+

    This finally got me to subscribe to Connect+. Being my R1T is more a daily, around town ride, the other features of Connect+ just did not seem worth it since I would not use them much. But I can see using Rivian Assistant frequently if it pans out as described. It Tipped the balance for me.
  11. Symphonic Carbon Fiber Roof for Rivian R1T -- by EV Smart Truck

    Cool! Because of the price I expect most people to wait until their glass breaks, but be patient. Of not, I went to your website and could not swipe the top panels right or left to view them. For instance, the video panel is half off-screen and I cannot adjust that. I am on an iPad with...
  12. Closing the tailgate - heavy & cumbersome

    Besides the weight of the tailgate, the design probably adds some just based on physics. Unlike many trucks the Rivian tailgate uses extended hinges when down to add length to the bed. This feature was pointed out in an early review video that contrasted it with the likes of Ford and Chevy...
  13. 22" Inch HL275/ 50R22 116H XL Pirelli Scorpion MS good enough for light off (dirt) road use?

    The sidewalls are very vulnerable for any off-roading where sidewall impact is an issue. Sand/dirt would be okay but rocky terrain might not.
  14. ALSO, an electric bike and transportation startup, has reached a $1 billion valuation in a new funding round

    Yea, try Googling “ALSO”. I can see a “Who’s on first?” Like routine in this name.
  15. Obligatory Sold My Rivian Post

    I totally agree on the ride quality. I have a Gen 1 R1T. But I will say Rivian kept tweaking the software since I took delivery and the ride much improved. My first EV was an Audi eTron (still have it) and the ride is much smoother and the wind noise much less. It can also raise and lower...
