I wish they'd push these out a bit earlier. It would be nice to have it available the whole month of October.

Any indication of how much functionality us gen 1 drivers miss out on?

interesting - I'm about 6 months out from needing new tires. Hopefully there's some reports on these by then.

I would definitely buy another one, and Rivian will be on the list when we need to car shop again. Only gripes are pretty minor - long service waits, many new feature updates are not applicable to the Gen 1. After 2 years it still charges up to the same range as new - can't say that about our...

My recent service experience is very, uh, middle of the road. I started getting a front parking sensor alarm when I slowed down below ~5 mph, but only when it was over about 90F (which in Texas in the summer is any time between noon and midnight). Called Dallas service in June and had a remote...

I'm on my second rental from the same enterprise location near the service center. The first time was a unmemorable Buick SUV. This time the guy asked me if I wanted a full size truck to replace my R1T. I knew I had some city driving and parking to do over the next few days so asked for...

My guess-o-meter is showing no degradation in almost 2 years and 24k miles. If I extrapolate out to 100% I would still have more than the 352 miles it was rated at as new. My 7 year old Model 3 on the other hand has already lost almost 20%.

My first EV road trip was over 6 years ago when chargers weren't nearly as prevalent here in the flyover states. At that time I planned my route on a spreadsheet, wrote down every charger, distance between them and amenities, especially restaurants. That worked so well my wife still wants me to...

Any thoughts on whether it will ever be available on the Rivian native app, or will they be too worried about data usage?

Welcome, it's always nice to have new vendors. Put me down for an R1T shade.

We almost went with an iX while waiting for the Riv. To me the biggest down sides were no frunk, and the comic book like beaver teeth. I don't understand why they have gone that way - you don't need nearly as big of a grill or front face period with EVs, so why make that your design direction...

Flying J is a last resort for me due to cost, which is sad because the chargers are pretty nice and the facilities around them are also not bad. When one gas station has high prices you can tell by the sign out front and can usually just go to the other station across the street. You vote with...

We're in a little corner of the DFW area where we are served by a co-op, so have no choice in our provider. That said, We've been paying about $0.11/kWhr all day and night for the whole 15 years we've lived in the house. They don't have any EV incentives or anything else like that, but the...

What motor config do you have? I have dual, which seems to be quite a bit more efficient than the Quad or Tri trucks. I also have the 21" road wheels which would be the best for range.

I pulled mine out once just to try it out. Between the hassle to get it back in the bag and also trying to get the pressure limit set correctly I carefully wound it back in the bag and bought a $25 compressor which stays under the back seat. That thing is definitely easier to deal with than the...

This is one area where I far prefer the Tesla option for remaining % of capacity instead of miles. Everyone knows that the miles are not a real accurate gauge, but with the Tesla anyway it nails the % remaining within 1-2% every time unless you run into a massive rain storm or something like...

I tried my flashlight when I first got the truck 20 months ago - worked fine. A few days ago I actually needed it and pulled it out of the door - and it's completely dead. Anyone else have this issue? Resolution? I was wondering if it maybe just wasn't charging in the door but not sure how to...

I got remote service in 10 days. When they said I needed to go into the SC to get the repair done (faulty parking sensor) my appointment was 2 months out (Dallas).

I don't really notice a difference in my Gen 1 R1T AC, but the seat cooler performance is much worse. Can hardly tell if it is on. Oh, plus the fact that it is now too stupid to know not to turn on the seat heater when it is 100F out - something that used to work automatically.

My PAAK worked flawlessly until a few updates ago. Now it is around 50%. I generally keep my phone in my front pocket and if I reach in my pocket and touch my screen to wake it up that works 9 out of 10 times, so for the last 5% total it still doesn't open. For that I need to pull the phone out...
