"Reduced volume level of the pedestrian audio alert" Yeah!!! Now please make it zero in Off-Road mode...

I'm near you guys, too (Temescal Way). My R1T should be delivered week after next.

"Silent electric vehicle"??? Rivian has blown that with the stupid PWS. Yes, I know it's mandated on public roads but not "out in nature" ie Off-Road mode.

From the latest version of the Owner's Guide: This is encouraging: maybe a simple piece of tape will suffice. Or maybe one could (accidentally :-) inject a bunch of mud thru the grilles.

I was disappointed that he didn't point out the wires to the PWS speakers.

How long did it take you to to air back up all 4 tires? I'm used to airing up or down all 4 at once in about 3-4 minutes. Agreed that the Rivian system should also work for airing down. Too bad it doesn't have a 4-way hose to do all 4 tires at once but that can be hacked easily enough with some...

What was the name of the trail? Is there a name for the obstacle? Perhaps there are pictures of it elsewhere on the Net.

So am I correct in assuming that your first attempt up the hill you were going slowly and ran out of momentum at the tricky part? And that with a bit more speed you climbed it OK? That can happen to a Jeep, too. It takes more force to accelerate from a stop while climbing than to climb at a...

Two questions: where is the fuse box for the 12v system? How much power is available in the 12v outlets?

My preliminary plan is to get a small ATV winch and a 100Ah lithium battery. I'll get a connector fabricated to fit in the trailer hitch.

My guide replied to my inquiry about the winch today with the identical text. Makes me think the Guides just parrot the official company line without having any real understanding of what's going on. I didn't bother to reply.

Perhaps Rivian should publish a little note about power usage when not moving and how to reduce it.

Are you kidding? An R1T has no chance of completing KOH. It might be possible by accepting a lot of severe damage and winching up the entire way: but of course the R1T doesn't have a winch :-(

I agree. I would much prefer to get rid of all the modes completely and just let us control all the parameters directly. I suppose the idea of all the modes is that some people can't figure out what settings are appropriate in a given situation. Fine. But let me have. an "expert" mode that...

That's actually a lot less than I expected. Probably means it's a very easy job. Please let us know how it goes for you.

The standard requires a noise even at rest except if the vehicle is in Park. (Maybe Rivian can rename Off-Road mode "Park" as in "National Park" mode? :-) Yeah, I was being facetious. And I appreciate the difficulties blind people have with traffic. But this is the wrong solution.

Maybe the connector is right on the speaker? That would be convenient. But if not, it's easy enough to splice in a connector. The difficulty will be getting access to it. Anyone know how to do so?

Ah. My Jeep, which makes a huge racket normally, is 100% silent when at rest (since it has an engine shutoff hack to save a it of gas) but that's OK since the law applies only to EVs and HEVs. Makes me think this law was really more about slowing the adoption of EVs than pedestrian safety.

I'm not a lawyer and I haven't read all of the 372 page (!!!!) document but it's at least plausible that this rule applies only to vehicles on public roads. The testing procedure used to verify compliance, absurdly complicated though it is, probably doesn't require testing in all possible...

That's fine. But for now I'll just cut the speaker wire(s). Or maybe some duct tape over the speaker grille will be sufficient. Has anyone tried that?
