  1. New Pics -- R1 Refresh Light Bar / Headlights / Frunk / Interior Lighting Themes!

    True, and actually sounds like (according to Wassym) maybe the OG LEDs do not in fact have the same capabilities as the refresh :(
  2. New Pics -- R1 Refresh Light Bar / Headlights / Frunk / Interior Lighting Themes!

    They sure do! I’ve always wondered why this was only utilized once, with no control within the UI (although obviously not a super high priority item early on).
  3. Vehicle is Raising - Stop to Prevent Damage

    I have this behavior as well and had the service center check it previously. Told me everything was acting normally. Mine now drops all the way down within a couple of days. Think I might bring it up again if replacement is a possibility. As a result, I see this message about the truck raising...
  4. R1S vs etron GT: the comparison you never asked for

    I had an S5 Sportback as a daily driver a few years ago after they finally brought it to the US, and it was a fantastic car for that usage. Always had my eye on the E-Tron GT as a sort of electric version of that car, just have had a tough time justifying the price considering it’s a little more...
  5. New Rivian customer satisfaction campaign -- halfshaft issue (on 2022 R1S and R1T)

    FWIW, just picked up my truck from the service center, and they performed the fix from FSAM-1091. On my drive home I had none of the usual (for me) ticking/tocking/grinding sounds on initial acceleration. Really hoping this fix lasts!
  6. The rain is finally here, PNW! And so are the sensor issues...

    Perhaps not a sensor issue and not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but for those with more time driving in the rain than me so far: Have you experienced the windshield wipers getting stuck in the middle of a sweep? Driving in our last good rain here in Dallas was almost a bit...
  7. Front suspension drops overnight

    Good point, and I should mention I have kneel mode set to off. I did toggle it on & off the other day to try to make sure the setting wasn’t accidentally turned on behind the scenes with the latest update.
  8. Front suspension drops overnight

    I left my R1T at the airport last week for a few days (Thurs-Sun) in All-Purpose/Standard height, and when I returned the front end was SLAMMED. Like I couldn’t fit a finger in between the top of the tire and the fender. The back end seemed normal. Got in and changed the ride height and it...
  9. Rattles & Squeaks

    Oops, now I see that you had just posted about this! Surprised the service center didn’t fix mine, but they only got to about half of the things I had listed anyways.
  10. Rattles & Squeaks

    Anyone experiencing a plastic-y grinding sound from the front active shutters when the vehicle wakes up from a deep sleep? I tried searching for ā€œactive shutterā€, ā€œshutterā€ etc, and didn’t see anything returned about this, and may have missed mention of it in this thread. Had mine in for service...
  11. Texas Roll Call

    Came across a new white R1T here in Dallas today. Always exciting to see more around!
  12. Steering Wheel Shake at Highway Speeds

    Wow, I sure hope not. Mine is pretty pronounced at ~70-75 mph and above.
  13. Loud cabin noise

    I’ve had the same noise since I took delivery as well. Sounds like it’s getting ready for takeoff! The fans on my truck (and potentially/presumably others) are incredibly loud, and that’s one of the first things that other people have noticed and brought up in conversation about it. Definitely...
  14. (Alex on Autos) 2022 R1T Road Trip Range Test! 338 Miles on 21" Wheels

    With the 21’s, I’ve been seeing very similar efficiency to my ā€˜20 Model Y Perf (usually around 2.6-2.8 miles/kWh in that car). So I’ve been very impressed overall, and look forward to seeing if I can eek out similar range to this on trips!
  15. 2022.23.3 OTA Update: Pet Mode, Parking Front Camera View, Cabin Light Adjustment, Updated Energy App & More

    My VIN is in the mid 7000’s, delivered yesterday, and got the update pushed to me earlier this morning. Been about an hour and a half so far and sitting at 69%.
