400 trip across KS/MO. Starting temp of 15F ended at 39F, with typical Kansas wind. Drove 68 mph on 20’s averaged… 1.64 mi/kwh Seems… not great. Even for the cold and wind. But maybe it’s just what to expect. On the positives, after two days of driving from DC I have yet to have a single...

I was backing into a parking garage spot, which has poles sticking out from the wall 2 feet into the space. They’re high enough where the rear bumper camera doesn’t show them when 5-6 feet away, but just low enough to hit the truck tailgate. This is a really silly parking space, and ultimately...

After trying kneel mode for a couple of days, I decided to disable it. I'm 6' so I can afford to. But personally I find the truck to feel awkward visually at low/lowest heights. Walking up to / away from the truck is the only time I really look at it from the outside.

I transported the booze to my friend's wedding reception last weekend: I thought the amount of booze was aggressive, but it sure was a fun wedding

I'm curious how the vehicle handles this. I've not yet tried this as the idea feels gnarly, as if I'd create a ton of friction with the motors pushing directly on the brakes. Is the software smart enough to not do that when both pedals are pushed simultaneously, or are the brakes actively...

My #1 ask is to continue improving on the existing features: - More accurate proximity lock/unlock - Navigation -- the route accuracy is pretty rough around the DC / Virginia area. It loves to avoid I-66 in favor of super roundabout ways, and I don't have any "avoid tolls" settings enabled -...

I’ve noticed that the Restore button remains disabled even if I move the seat away from the profile’s saved position. But then randomly (days later) it will show up as an active button and allow me to restore. It’s definitely been buggy

So true. I appreciate this post, as someone who paid $8k for FSD and woefully regrets that decision.

@kanundrum I'll try to make it to one of these to make it a Rivian takeover. I've heard you gotta get to Katie's by 5:30am ? to get a parking spot, so... we'll see on that one.

Normally I wouldn't feel compelled to reply to Internet forum snarkiness. But the guy was super nice and seemed like he genuinely understood the situation and was not trying to BS me. In case anyone is questioning his intentions or that he was trying to get me out the door with a quick excuse. I...

I asked the same question. To be honest, I don't really understand well enough how suspension dampers work, but the technician was very clear that it is a mechanism of the suspension dampers that's controlled by software. It sounded like it relates to the speed/frequency of how they engage, and...

Mobile service came to fix a panel alignment today. While he was here, I took the technician for a drive around the block to show him the "bird chirping" squeak noise that sounded like it was coming from the suspension when driving over bumps at low speeds. He told me: This is due to the...

It's been only 24 hours post-delivery and I've had multiple conversations like this... Q's are: What is this? (It’s a Rivian) Who makes it? (Rivian) It's electric? (Yes) How far can it go [on a single charge]? (About 300 miles) How long does it take to charge? (about 10 seconds, to plug it in...

Took delivery today! Overjoyed :D Also, I was out and happened to park right next to a Mach-E in blue, so got a great comparison shot in direct sunlight:

My timeline: 8/15 - Call from guide to lock my config and in fact that my truck had arrived in the DC area and was starting the pre-delivery inspection 8/24 - Email from Rivian + text from local rep, both saying to do step 8: schedule delivery 8/29 - Scheduled delivery date Total time: 2 weeks

I meant the cost of PPF vs. paying to fix paint chips as they happen. I’m not sure how much the latter cost, maybe a couple hundred dollars? Seems less costly I would guess though.

I'm a bit worried about inviting a controversial topic. So go easy on me ? Strictly from a financial cost calculation standpoint, is PPF worth the investment? Considerations: How much on average does a scratch or rock chip cost to repair the paint? What happens when PPF is damaged with a...

Just got my quote from Geico. The 6-month premium for the R1T is $478, which seems low generally, but especially in relation to my Model 3's current 6-month premium of $868. Identical coverage, and this is to replace the Tesla, not adding a 2nd vehicle on the policy. The Rivian quote is lower...

I have the exact same config and got VIN 10,9XX assigned yesterday. Very close to 11,000!
