I plug in every day to allow the R1T to top itself up. One thing that no one has mentioned yet is that you can set up a charging schedule. So, for example, you can plug the truck in when you pull into your garage but tell it not to start charging till after 10pm, when your power might be...
Agree with other posters here: The shuddering is not normal at any speed. I've driven mine at 100mph with no shudder or pulling. Rivian needs to fix yours.
You pose a valid and interesting point that I've considered myself quite few times. My ultimate conclusion is that I lost autonomy a long time ago (if I ever had any significant amount to begin with). If I owned a modern ICE truck - let's say a 2020 Ram 1500 - could I reasonably expect to be...
I wouldn't count on a retrofit upgrade to your R1T/S. More than likely your upgrade path will be to trade in your current (or future?) R1 for a new model with the shiny new battery/charging tech.
For what it's worth, Rivian has already announced the new Standard Pack with LFP battery...
This is a good point. If they're still taking new orders at the new price point at a rate greater than they can fulfill (+10K in the last quarter), what is the real long-term downside of early order holders canceling? The first 70K pre-orders (at the original pricing) won't determine the future...
JIT manufacturing is all about being as efficient as possible. Don't spend cash on stuff till you need it. Don't store it. Have the part show up when it's time to bolt it onto the truck. This is very cost-effective. However, the more efficient a supply chain is, the more fragile it is. We...
I sympathize with the OP. It's disappointing to face a delay. You had planned to take delivery last Tuesday, and you're still cooling your heels. That sucks. That last mile is always the longest one. However, the idea that Rivian falls far short in this area, as compared to legacy automakers...
Opinions will vary, of course, and emotions on this subject continue to run high; so no doubt there will be some hot and bothered responses to this post, but...
I think Rivian has explained this, at least on a macro level. They are batch building trucks in order to optimize their output. Once a...
Yep, you have to set it in Sport/Lowest manually right now. My wife is 5'4", so I do this every time I park. It's a bit of a pain. I'm glad to hear that crawl mode is in-bound. Looking forward to that.
The gear tunnel and frunk should be great for tools. The bed is a composite material, so it doesn't need a liner. How well will it hold up to heavy abuse, like dumping a bunch of rock in it, then shoveling it out? No idea. Seems pretty tough so far, but the most abuse I've handed it is hauling...
You're on this forum, so you probably know a lot about the features of the vehicle; but you should spend some time with the guide in understanding and setting up some things that haven't been covered in reviews and whatnot: setting up your phone as a key; setting up your garage door openers (if...
I'm not defending this particular cooktop; it's just the first one that came up on an Amazon search, but:
The cooktop wattage is configurable from 200W-1800W depending on your needs. It seems that most of these induction hot plates work the same way.
