Thank you for this post and all the details! I went to the service center yesterday with this "play" issue between acceleration and deceleration and was told it was normal! 🤷🏻‍♂️

You can use the quick access menu to turn on the lights in the cabin. Not the ideal solution, but just a couple of taps away.

Just got the fob back from service - it seems the battery ran out again. Brand new battery took just 3 months to drain with minimal use of the fob - quite worrying. Will ask for replacement if it happens again that quickly.

Fwiw I ended up having to go to the service center for a replacement. Mobile service didn't have one on hand.

Love that profile pic - excellent choice of colors :D Do you have any more pics of the tent?

It is sad that they're still shipping with such reckelss abandon. I may have changed my decision to purchase if I'd known I'd get a damaged product. Agreed, the build quality seems pretty good, although I'm not sure how the damaged area will hold up over time w.r.t. rust.

Let me try rebooting like @LivingInKaos suggested, and if that doesn't work I'll file a ticket. I have a mobile appointment coming up anyway, hopefully they can add this task if the reboot doesn't work. Will keep you guys posted.

No - since the battery was low at delivery, the Rivian delivery rep gave me a new battery to replace when needed. Good to know for the next replacement though. Which one do you use?

It does have a green bar on it. When I got the car ~45 days ago, it showed low battery so the delivery guy gave me an extra battery which I had to put in a couple of days later. Was working fine at the time.

Completely agree with OP. While I love the R1S, the Rivian one-pedal experience is sub-par to any other EV I've driven, and this is my 5th brand of EV ownership. The whole dead zone bit is ridiculous - what they should really have is a super-linear increase in acceleration starting _very_ small...

I have a key fob that I just replaced the battery on. It worked after having the battery replaced, and then I didn't use it for several days. Now it won't work no matter what I click. I checked both the R1S screen and the app and it still shows the key fob under my name. The app also shows that...

This is what the box looked like:

Wanted to briefly comment on my purchase and installation experience. The purchase process was pretty smooth (used the discount code on the website at the time) and I got a call from Adam (the owner of GOAT Fabrication) as soon as I made the order since I had asked a question on email that he...

We have a Chargepoint home flex that we've used with the Bolt, Model 3 and Rivian. Works as advertised. Occasionally there will be a "Failed to reach the charger" message from the app (and there are no physical buttons so it can be super frustrating) but retrying works. There's a couple of...

At what speed do you guys notice wind noice? I've found my R1S fairly silent till ~50-55 and then the wind noise picks up.
