  1. Anyone using the third-row (R1S) for dog transport

    Long time (2-year) R1T owner; just got an R1S yesterday. Dogs had completely taken over our back seat in the R1T -- we'd actually like to keep the second row of the R1S available to human passengers. I'm feeling guilty about using the far back cargo area of the R1S for dog transport, mostly due...
  2. Questions: Gen 1 R1T ---> Gen 2 R1S

    I just pulled the trigger. Had the truck for just over two years. Only 14K miles. No major issues. Obviously a loyal Rivian owner... Just decided that R1S would be better for the dog, especially if we ever needed to haul extra humans around. Didn't really use the bed in ways that couldn't be...
  3. 2024.19.04 bug: frozen video

    Gen 1 R1T Quad. Just downloaded the update and experiencing an annoying bug. If I start the truck and go into reverse, the back up cam starts up as expected. Then when I shift into drive, a frozen still image stays on the infotainment screen. I can’t access the nav, can’t change audio, can’t do...
  4. Trading in a Rivian for... a Rivian? (Gen 1 R1T --> Gen 2 R1S)

    August 2022 Gen 1 R1T owner here. Quad motor, 21s, working powered tonneau. About 12K miles. Pristine condition. Have been thinking about swapping my R1T for an R1S. (We also have TWO reservations for R2s in our household...) Would probably opt for a Gen 2, 400 mile range, maybe the Dual Max...
  5. Campaign for more temperature flexibility in Pet Comfort mode

    I have posted this on Reddit and also logged the "complaint" with Rivian's service department, but maybe the idea will get a little traction here too. Have owned an R1T for 18 months and still love it. My issue with Pet Comfort is that it's too hot for my dogs in wintertime. Rivian will not...
  6. Two drivers — which one gets priority?

    I recently added the Rivian app to my wife’s iPhone and now every time we get in the truck, the seat and steering wheel start adjusting to her profile. Doesn’t even matter if I am the one to unlock the truck — the truck detects her phone and assumes that she’s driving. I drive 99% of the time...
  7. Flated Air-Deck (or similar) in bed of R1T

    Kicking the tires on this thing: https://getflated.com/products/air-deck?variant=40058551140520 Anyone tried it? Or have used something similar? If so, what size did you use for the R1T? I pondered a Roofnest but we just don't do enough camping to justify it. That said, I love the idea of...
  8. New washers address the creaking half-shaft noise issue

    Did a few searches and couldn't find any reports about this yet, so here goes. Also x-posted on Reddit. I took my truck into the SC yesterday for the recall related to passenger seat belt sensors. I thought I would be there for ten minutes, and then I'd be on my way. They informed me that they...
  9. U-haul rental trailer advice for dummies?

    No, you're not the dummy. I'm the dummy. I need to rent a u-haul trailer (or something comparable) in a few weeks and the tow hitch rabbit hole on the internet is deep. No sure what I need to do. Purchase a hitch online prior to renting? Or does u-haul provide appropriate hitches for rent...
  10. VW recalls 21,000 ID4 EVs

    https://artifact.news/s/doREuPtMryU= “A potential reset of the battery software could cause a loss of propulsion while driving, which would increase the risk of a crash.” Yikes.
  11. Recommend an R1T dog ramp

    Anybody own one that works well for the rear door(s) and perhaps conveniently stows in the gear tunnel? My older dog hates jumping in/out, even in the lowest suspension mode…
  12. Ford raises F150 Lightning price for second time in just two months

  13. Charger availability at Sacramento SC?

    With ski season approaching, my only range anxiety is getting from San Francisco to Truckee, CA (200 miles, uphill, in the snow/cold, probably in traffic). RAN barely exists today but I can't help but notice that the Sacramento SC is not that far of a detour from my typical Tahoe route...
  14. $59 phone charging solution

    I promise this is not meant to be snarky... After seeing so many people posting various solutions to prevent their phones from sliding around on the charging mat, I had to report that the leather Apple case for the iphone ($59) works just fine. When I put it on the phone on the charging mat it...
  15. Rear camera unusable with tailgate down

    Was hauling a bunch of stuff this week and, when backing up, noticed for the first time that the rear camera is totally blocked with the tailgate down. Seems like a design oversight. The bed is short and clearly Rivian expects us to haul stuff with the tailgate down, so it seems odd that they...
  16. Does Rivian have a power button?

    Just noticed the diagram on my new keycard. Seems to indicate that touching it to the inside of the door panel does … something. Looks a lot like a power button icon. Hmm.
  17. Recommend a car cover

    Need to leave my R1T outside for a few weeks while traveling. Anybody bought a cover for their truck that they can recommend?
  18. Nomad: $900 alternative camp kitchen for the bed

    Stumbled on this today. Seems pretty cool. Could probably do induction rather than the (optional) gas stove: https://www.nomadkitchenco.com/product-page/nomad-compact-kitchen

    https://rivianservicetools.com/ Here's the only thing on this website that I definitively know how to use, but some of you may find this stuff interesting...
  20. Recommend a sun shade that fits

    I bought a Covercraft sun shade before I had my truck. They do custom shades but not yet for Rivian. So I guessed and picked on for a 4Runner. Haha. It looks like a postage stamp and covers about 2/3 of the Rivian windshield. So while I prepare to return this one, has anybody guessed more...
