I also want a reverse creep - in tight spaces it's hard to back up precisely in my experience. Camera should automatically come up if the Radar is detecting things and/or should have a dedicated button location.

Probably cheaper than a hotel room for the night, and certainly cheaper than a tow truck.

Congratulations! Your story was wildly misconstrued and used as anti-ev propaganda by the Washington Examiner. The phantom drain thing is a real environmental and potentially usage problem though. Rivian needs to address this.

Lucky. Mine never figured it out... Towing range was all over the map from 230mi at 90% to 635mi at 70% to 135mi at 45% and everywhere in between. Realistic range is about 165mi at 100% for my trailer. I'm assuming 635mi is the maximum the software can understand/display/store.

I actually made my own because I was in a crunch and decided it was going to be cheaper/easier to just throw different ends on rather than buying a bin of "dogbones". It's a NEMA 14-50R standalone outlet with 18" of 6 gauge THHN that I've got currently conneced to an L6-30P... But if I forget...

I feel like Rivian needs to hurry up and release at least one more adapter for the portable charger. There's a lot of places with 30A 120v plugs that would let you safely pull double the power and get a meaningful amount of charge over a day or 2. 120v 12A at around 15% per day is painful and...

My Sony Android phone regularly struggles. Typically brining the Rivian app on screen resolves it, but sometimes I have to force a command from it. Holding my phone by the keycqrd location doesn't work immediately but seems to help? Probably wishful thinking. My wife's iphone 8 is far more...

I really wish Rivian or Ford or anyone would come up with purpose built range extenders. An integrated 6-7kw generator that fits neatly into the bed with a plug back there (ideally one that can feed pack voltage or at least bypass the [generator Inverter -> AD-DC conversion] steps) would...

Not that I've been able to find. I wish it was like my Macan where the 360 cam automatically activates any time the radar begins sensing objects. It would be nice to see 360 video w/ the radar feedback overlaid in the driver display.

I suspect they got more protective/conservative with the regen with a cold battery to prolong battery longevity (battery care was noted in the December update). I notice some very minor regen reduction when first driving after a ~40F night. And more significant regen reduction when it soaks...

I have a Sony Android 13 phone - about 30% of the time I enter the truck it won't recognize it to drive. I have had success with quickly force-closing the app / opening it fresh, and then holding my phone on the door where the key card would be tapped. That seems to force the phone and truck...

Totally agree. That was my assumption when I switched from Max to Large. 800V would help maximize how much we can get out of some charging stalls and likely reduce heating and charger errors. The 800V cars seem to have a much easier time charging at 200+kw.

I found this infuriating the other day driving on a quiet but slightly foggy interstate... had to drive for almost an hour w/o cruise control. MADDENING! A "flick" up should kill HA and a full press up (like reverse) should kill both. I don't mind it as the driver, but I feel bad for my...

Did our first towing with our week old R1T. Frustrating that the range estimate is completely broken in towing mode. Varies wildly from 140 to 630+mi. It almost seemed to add miles the lower we got in charge. We got about 1.35mi/kWh towing a large teardrop at 60-70mph.

Your graph is showing torque vs slippage. In an induction motor, you must have "slippage" in order to provide torque. Here is what a permanent magnet motor like in the Rivians looks like: The problem is that you eventually reach maximum current through the windings and therefore maximum...

I put the majority of my thoughts in a previous reply. It's a 2021 model we both 2nd hand. We've had it about 9 months and have done about 11 trips and probably 3500mi. My complaints are mostly the very predictable - when the bed is made, there's really only space for 1 person to stand. To...

So, we've had the truck for a week today, and got out for a little winter camping trip overnight. Other than a little slop in the hitch making some bouncing over big bumps, it's easy to forget there's anything back there. Lack of radar cruise while towing is VERY annoying to me. Range...

I disagree. Because of the way the battery and the motors function, from 0 to X mph, torque is all that matters (relatively constant, or increasing). Beyond X mph, HP is all that matters (power is constant, torque is dropping). For a Tesla P85D, X is around 35mph. I assume an R1x is probably...

The spare tire cover right side really needs to slammed to close, especially given the 0-15F weather. All the other doors require a lot of force to close, but the driver's door seems to be breaking in and getting easier. That was the only somewhat obvious problem on our truck - there's...

I had the pleasure of being there yesterday to pick up our R1T! I was absolutely flabbergasted at how many R1Ts, R1Ss, and EDVs are around. Both lines (tour guide said they are completely independent) were pumping out vehicles. Seemed like every 5 or so minutes a new one was coming off each...
