  1. Insight from my SC visit re the Rivian SC business decisions

    I was just at the Orlando SC for a windshield install and because they weren’t busy, I got a chance to chat with the Service Manager. One of the things I brought up, tongue in cheek, that the Orlando SC being an hour away, that Rivian should consider putting one in Rockledge, FL (my home) where...
  2. Do you get dinged if you turn in a leased Rivian with an aftermarket windshield?

    Hello, looking for othersā€˜ experiences before I get my cracked R1T windshield replaced. My insurance obviously wants to go with non-Rivian install due to cost. But this limits the windshield to OEE vs OEM. Supposedly the OEE for Rivian is made by the same company as OEM but some posts have...
  3. Started getting random system faults when using cruise control/driver assistance

    All, Within the last couple of months my 23 R1T DM has started throwing a system fault error periodically when using cruise control, with and without driver assistance. A message pops up saying the system is turned off and a system fault was detected. But I can immediately re-engage it...
  4. The R1T tailgate trim is not robust enough IMO

    I’ve had my R1T for about a year now. I really like the truck but am disappointed that the plastic trim at the top of the tailgate is so susceptible to nicks and scratches. Because the R1T bed is short, I often end up carrying items like lumber perched on this trim and then pull them out over...
  5. Charge door opening when washing my R1T

    I’ve had my 23 R1T for about a year now. I’ve noticed that when washing the truck that the charge port cover opens when the thumb sensor gets hit with the hose. I have to always watch I don’t accidentally spray hose water directly in the L2 port. At first I assumed that was just the way the...
  6. Tried Rally mode today, weird behavior - maybe I don’t know what a Rally mode really is

    Last night my 23 PDM R1T upgraded and added Rally mode. Today I tried it, not offroad but on city streets. I noticed the settings are different. Ride height is either low or high. Reduced stability seems to be the norm. Also noticed new tilt/roll gauges on the right side of the screen. I...
  7. Anyone else have issues with Level 2 charging away from home?

    Hello, I haven’t see a thread on Level 2 charging compatibility yet, and was wondering if others are experiencing the same issues I do. I’ve tried public charging at a Level 2 charger three times now, with failed results. Whenever I’ve tried to use a public Level 2 charger, my R1T either gets...
  8. Experience with Pirelli tires?

    So traditionally I have bought Michelin tires and have not been disappointed. More recently I was impressed by my Audi eTron’s Goodyear tires. Never had a problem with either brand, other than my own stupidity not keeping a vehicle aligned. Come Pirelli, the first I’ve ever owned. When I...
  9. FYI - Orlando Service Center factoids

    Just dropped my R1T off at Orlando SC for PTC and other things. They warned service is taking 4-6 weeks, especially with the hurricane. Going to pick up Rivian-paid for Enterprise now. On the plus side they said Rivian is building a new Orlando SC in North Orlando that will have 12 lifts. The...
  10. Steering wheel and seat movement too long at startup

    Okay, I’ll admit this is a nit but I find it irritating how long it takes for the steering wheel and seat to adjust to the driving position when first started by stepping on the brake. Perhaps Rivian can’t speed up the mechanics but one obvious change that could probably be done via a software...
  11. Does Article in Jalopnik about Tesla Bode the Same for Rivian?

    Opening this topic as a thought provoker. I know I am opening a Pandora’s Box on this forum but I am convinced if Rivian is to be successful they need to ā€˜unthink’ being a revolutionary car company. An article on Tesla facing hard times and not being able to transition to a broader client base...
  12. Really prefer low regen, but would like option for brake-only regen and saving as default profile

    I have been exploring the latest software update and really like the lower regen as the standard regen seemed to slow down too suddenly when releasing cruise control. It also seems by my perception that the accelerator pedal ā€œresistanceā€ is lessened for a more comfortable driving experience...
