  1. Winter Range Effects in Midwest

    I'm in Madison with a Dual Perf Large pack, and it's plenty parked in an insulated but not climate-controlled garage. Like others said, short trips hit more, say 30-35%, longer trips less say 20-25% in the winter. Lifetime @ 24k through 24 months, I'm at 2.5 mi/kwh (trip meter B). It averaged...
  2. RIVIAN PLEASE READ: Defect with Climate Schedule

    Gen 1 R1S, my scheduled climate settings have not activated in mornings since (I think) 2 or 3 software updates ago. Have soft and hard reset multiple times, often right after a software update, deleted and set them up again, just got a new cell phone and PAK set up, nothing seems to get it to...
  3. New update?

    Mine came yesterday 1/22 while in a service center, or so the app notification said.
  4. Help Identifying the Suspension Clunk?

    Care to share the repair order details?
  5. Test Drive in Iowa

    Let me know if you're coming through Madison, and you can take mine for a drive. I'd just ask you use my promo code when you eventually buy one. I have a Gen1 R1S Dual Perf. Maybe you're more interested in the T though.
  6. R1S Rear top hatch not latching

    You were able to manually close the latch with the liftgate down? I'm awaiting a mobile service appointment for this same issue. I currently have the liftgage bungeed to one of the tethers with the liftgate trim popped off, so I could find a something to attach the bungee cord to. I also tried...
  7. Post 2024.31.01 Dynamic Sound Adjustment

    Gen1, this still isn't fixed. Wish I knew how to submit a request to the development team. My Grand Cherokee volume went up and down smoothly and appropriately with vehicle speed without sacrificing low end adjustability like my R1 does.
  8. Efficiency with new tires is lower…

    Was your "2.75 for the summer" 95% highway? That would be a record for a Rivian unless it's at 45mph the whole way. I think you'll see your efficiency increase with a couple more summer months of mixed driving over several thousand miles, but I agree with the post about new larger, heavier tires.
  9. Looking Stupid Waiting for the Unlock !!!!!

    Never had a problem with my Pixel 6a and my Gen1R1S. Until I got a new 9a and the lastest Rivian update I've rthe last couple weeks. Now I stand around using PAAK frustrated. I'm not sure if it was the Rivian update, the new phone, or an Android update that would have caused the same problem if...
  10. Help: Insane dashboard rattle on mild washboard roads

    It took them two tries to fix the dash rattle on my Gen1 R1S. The first time, their mobile service put a new baffle under the grille in which helped a little, but the tech said he was "out of tape". I had them back a 2nd time, and that service tech completely took the grille out, put a LOT of...
  11. Rear hatch won’t open

    This may be the same known issue mine had. If the info screen shows a red "obstruction detected" (popup disappears quickly), it's likely a defective bracket that takes mobile service a couple minutes to swap out. Try it from the front seat and watch the info screen. Mobile service has swapped a...
  12. Do motors actually heat the battery?

    This past weekend on a trip stopping at multiple Tesla DC chargers, I noticed a quick popup I hadn't seen before (software update?) that said "preconditioning battery" before the charging stops, but the temp remained well below 60 degrees and efficiency never increased. That was higher speeds...
  13. Do motors actually heat the battery?

    I've read in a couple threads preference to the motor cooling fluid being used to warm the battery. Has anyone spoken with a Tech to confirm if this true? My 2024 R1S Dual Perf+ Large has just terrible efficiency once the battery temp falls below 60° or so. I was averaging 2.7mi/kwh April - Oct...
