The pick up line is the worst…
that said, if it’s going to be a while (and it sounds like it will…), tell the SC you want a Rivian loaner. Pinch of sugar and all… they have them, just not enough of them for all the work they’re doing (at least at my local SC). They hooked me up and it was...
That’s a short garage. My truck on 20’s is 74+ to the roof in Conserve / Auto and the antenna is a few above that. I can’t see me getting it that low. Maybe on 21’s in kneel mode, but wow, that will get annoying. Going up and down is not instantaneous. Hopefully some low garage folks can...
Commuted home in my R1T this evening. A few thoughts.
It’s not “fixed.” It is definitely quieter than the loaner though. It was actually really good to have a comparison R1T for the last 8 days.
They called it “normal”, but went through it… not really sure what that means. I took another...
It’s funny, I was all team 20AT until I’ve been driving around on 22’s for the last while with a loaner and the difference in efficiency has been staggering with much of my around town. I’m seriously seeing last 15 minute numbers I never, ever get within .5 of. It’s crazy. Has been much more...
Is the R1T engaging?
It is not as engaging as our 1980 911 SC. It is well over twice as fast to any measured speed and corners at a higher rate, even with the 20ATs. But even with the surprisingly good steering that does actually have some real feel, it's still an insanely heavy truck (but...
I also live in a state that requires it, but chose to not have Rivian install the plate mount for me and instead MacGyvered a mount for my tow hook. Ideal? Nope. $40 all in? Yup. Easy to take off now that I have my inspection sticker? Yup…. Does not interfere with any sensors or cameras...
As I have spent a bit more time in the loaner R1T, I am finding that 1. I think this truck is actually louder than my truck, and 2. it really depends on the roads I drive. On relatively smooth roads, this thing is great. I mean, really, really great. On Cracked, in need of repair, neglected...
So I took mine in to the Chelsea SC this am. I took a tech for a drive looking for conditions that would mimic what I experience twice a day on a pretty banged up road near my house. He directed me to some train tracks and sure enough, we heard it BUMP BUMP BUMP as we went over. His response...
“You could just drive slower…”
Where I am, the middle and fast lane are generally 10 and 15+ over. Do I *need* Waze or want to give Google all of that travel info on me? No. But the Staties are out there in force and just pick and choose. The benefit is real.
And there’s no chance they...
This is my first air ride vehicle and my first ev, so I am definitely out of my element here. That said, I can hear and feel it big time and it definitely takes away from the quality of the ownership experience big time. I truly can’t get my brain around how this could be the case with any...
Has anyone actually had success having this fixed?
I also had a Wrangler (392XR, not exactly quiet), but zero noise or clatter over the same rough roads. Conversely our 100k+ mile Chrysler Pacifica DOES need some top end suspension work and sounds and feels exactly like the R1T. The big...
Yes, this is kind of a personal question ... but I've now had a few calls setting up my service center visit and every time I describe the noise I'm left wonder if it's me... The front end of my R1T is noisy. If any of you have either had crap cars, or worked on your own race / modded cars, it...
The unapologetic pricing games they play would really tick me off had I been one of those recent purchasers. Painful to see folks over pay AND watch resale get washed away in one fell swoop.
We have some issues with our R1T that will hopefully be addressed soon by the SC. That said, we also put in a reservation for a post price hike R1S under two weeks after receiving our pre-price hike R1T.
This is a very impressive truck and right in line with the price / value.
So we've only had our R1T for a few weeks, but I just realized today while looking at the charging history in app that it is incomplete. I expected it to have all my charging sessions, of which there have only been five, but there are only three in app. Is this normal?
I've definitely read...
