So, I’m driving along minding my own business when, out of nowhere, my car audio says, loud and clear, “You’re welcome.” Whoa! WTH was that? At the time, I was not listening to anything on the car audio. At first, I thought maybe it was an Alexa thing, but I do not use nor do I have Alexa...

The latest cold weather advice email from Rivian states to keep the car plugged in. But, what good does plugged in do if no current is flowing and it is not charging? Is this like a security blanket for my R1T, where it somehow knows it is plugged in and gets a warm fuzzy feeling, even though...

My Apple Music is MIA. Just quit the other day. I‘ve tried software and system resets to no avail. The display says it‘s “loading content” then says ”No media available here.” And no, I’m not out in the sticks with no service, and my Connect+ and Apple subscriptions are paid up. Anybody found a...

I drove another R1T that other day. The accelerator pedal was noticeably more responsive, with less movement required, than on my 2023 R1T. I really liked It! It just felt crisper. I got back in my rig and it seemed like much more pedal travel was required to get an equivalent response. For the...

Has anyone replaced their front view camera to achieve better resolution? The stock camera on my Gen 1 R1T is pretty weak, IMHO. For any off roading, the lack of detail makes it almost worthless. For saving any interesting videos, especially when enlarging them, well, it’s just not very good...

One of my Rivian pet peaves is how vampire drain affects the trip meter efficiency readings. For instance, if I take a modest 15 mile drive, I may see 2.30+ miles/kWh average on the trip meter. So, I get home and put the car to bed for the night. The next day, when I first get in the car, the...

This thread is about a useful key fob/phone feature. If you don’t use the fob this may be of no interest to you. This is not a “Do You Use the Fob” poll. I discovered a key fob/phone feature that some may find useful. Or, maybe I’m just the last one to figure this out ? Anyway, I use my key...

For reasons I won’t go into here, I use my fob a lot! I hang it on my belt loop with the carabiner. Two months ago, during the course of an “adventure” activity, it disappeared off my belt loop - never to be found again. I ultimately purchased another fob for $260 - ouch. The moral of the story...

I wish that Rivian had located the antenna fin on the front of the roof, rather then the back. As it is, it is right in the way of mounting anything that might extend over the roof. This forces things, like an RTT or any rack, to be raised an additional 4+ inches above the roof, to clear the fin...

I have always wanted the ability to use my Apple Watch as a key, but I was getting along with the FOB, which I used a lot. Well, I did it. I lost my darn FOB ? Now I really, really want to be able to use the watch as a key, so I don’t always have to take my phone everywhere. At one point, early...

For those that may be on the road and/or off the grid for days, conserving the Rivian battery is certainly a concern. Running a DC fridge 24/7, for days, having the vehicle power always on could be a problem. I have a Dometic CFX40 fridge that I use for camping. It was never an issue with my...

So I was putzing around in my T, yesterday, and went into the Camping screen. In the Energy Use portion, I selected Stay Off. The options are Stay Off, Normal, and Stay On. The screens went blank and I left the car. Normally I see 1-2% drain every 24 hours. This time, 16 hours later, I had not...

While I can remotely lock and unlock my R1T doors (sometimes), other key features just quit working. Most importantly, I can no longer use my iPhone to set parameters for charging, alter the schedule, or even start/stop charging. Now, I have to do all this the in car, which sucks ? I have tried...

I have found that Rally mode, in my R1T, is my go to mode whenever I encounter rough dirt trails/roads or crappy paved road sections. The dampening and stiffness settings seems much better than All Purpose or even the All Terrain mode. I would love to see these settings available in the On Road...

So, headed into town today, roughly 6-7 miles. Driving at a modest pace, not exceeding about 45 mph. As I looked over to my center display, I was shocked to see all motors registering a temperature around 240 degrees. Whoa! That is pretty darn hot for just putting around. In fact, one motor rose...

Okay. I’ve had my R1T for a month and a half, charging only at home. Having never charged remotely, I have no idea about the procedures or routines for remote charging with the different vendors. I signed up for the ChargePoint connection via my Rivian home page, assuming that created some sort...

So, I’m getting my full size spare tire/wheel (20” AT) delivered to my house, tomorrow. That’s kinda cool. I had a question regarding reduced regen on longer grades. So, I posted it on my app. In short order I received a call from service to answer my question and put my mind at ease. At that...

Electric fridges need to breath and will create some heat in an already warm frunk. Not sure that is the best place for maximum efficiency. if one has room, the back seat area is a good option. It’s very easy to setup. I did it in short order, with a piece of plywood, as a proof of concept...

I think it’s pretty well established that the large pack has roughly 135 kWh. Has anyone determined how many useable kWh there are in the large battery pack? I’ve seen #’s ranging from 128 kWh to 132 kWh. Maybe I missed it somewhere. It would be a nice number to know when calculating max range..

The escape button in the rear bed is a security issue for my use case. Has anybody disabled/disconnected this button and how did you do it? And, yes, I fully understand that a determined thief will find a way. It’s the opportunistic thief I would like to discourage. Thanks.
