My son and I just take the wheels off of our bikes. It only takes a few minutes. They fit nicely in the bed, and the bikes are hidden under the bed cover. Also, there is no aerodynamic hit from the bikes, which definitely helped with range when traveling between Colorado and California.

The whine that begins 2 seconds into the video is definitely not normal. I would demonstrate it to the service personnel when you bring the truck to the SC.

Try this out to see if it works for you. Grab the charging nozzle with one hand. Open the other hand and make it as flat as possible, placing it near the light ring. Position your flattened palm so that it reflects light to the charging port and allows for insertion of the charger. Position...

I have the same issue when using non-adaptive cruise control when towing.

Low frequencies are handled by the door speakers and the subwoofer. Mid range and higher frequencies are handled by the dash mid-range and tweeter speakers. Higher frequencies are directional and need to be placed in the line of sight of the listener.

If you tune to a station that does not transmit description data, and you have previously listened to a station on the same frequency that transmits the data, the Rivian radio will display the previous stations information. This is a design error that I assume could be fixed in software.

The following applies to the R1T only: I believe that the Tesla is properly designed and uses only the sub-woofer for the lowest frequencies, with other speakers only playing the higher frequencies. For the poorly designed R1T sound system, the small "sub-woofer" is merely used to augment the...

The Android app I used is Audio Tool.

The sound from the drive unit is nearly silent. I would estimate the reduction in whine level is greater than 20db. Other noises, such as HVAC fan, ac compressor, suspension air compressor, suspension rattles, tire noise and wind noise above 45 mph are louder. I believe that you will be...

The noise is definitely not normal nor is it acceptable unless one is hard of hearing (with your hearing aids turned off!) or enjoy whining sounds. Please see the following thread for how I had my R1T repaired and am enjoying nearly silent motors! (40) Dual Motor Noise | Rivian Forum - R1T R1S...

Perhaps add a section for test drive. 1. Turn off HVAC and radio. Find a smooth section of roadway and make several runs from a stop to at least 60 MPH. Listen for any whining noise from motor and/or inverter. Noise may vary at different speeds and when accelerating or decelerating...

Check on this thread on how I got my dual motor R1T with the same noise repaired. (67) Dual Motor Noise | Rivian Forum - R1T R1S R2 R3 News, Specs, Models, RIVN Stock -- Rivianforums.com The video showing the noise being displayed on my phones real time audio analyzer software convinced the...

My dual motor R1t was also extremely loud. I submitted my video showing a spectrum analyzer display and immediately got a reaction from Rivian. They determined that a motor replacement was required. One week in the shop, and my truck was returned in perfect shape with virtually no motor...

Just got the R1T back from service and the whine is gone!! Here is what they did: Duplicated the customer concern with the customer. Compared the noise to another known good dual motor performance R1T with 21" wheels and found that the comparison vehicle does not make the same level of drive...
