I had issues with my bed cover from the beginning, but knowing that a fix was more than several months away, I began running a water hose over the bed cover monthly while opening and closing it with the water running and flushing out the dust, dirt, sand, etc that makes crunching sounds as it...
Alexa works about 20% of the time for me. I think that this is part of a much larger problem with connectivity in general. Where I live my 2014 tesla gets decent reception for spotify, tune-in, Alexa, etc. (oh yeah, it has XM radio too) My Rivian gets reception only parked under a cell tower...
In my R1T to drown out the air-conditioning fan noise, the cross bar noise, my bed cover creaking noise and the annoying slow moving electric vehicle noise, I just turn up my Sirius XM Radio... oh wait...
That is the other issue, that in the two months that I have had my R1T, I have encountered more non-operational CCS chargers than in the 8 years of owning my tesla and finding a broken tesla supercharger. There is nothing more frustrating and time consuming than planning a charging stop only to...
Although I welcome more fast chargers anywhere, my "Adventure Vehicle" isn't taking adventures to IKEA. I am waiting for the news that there will be chargers at trailheads, national parks, campgrounds, etc. So far, my adventures have been limited to 150 mile radius trips and one day camping or...
Speaking of traffic, they need serious upgrades to match Tesla’s real time traffic in maps. I’ve unknowingly headed into serious stopped traffic which the R1T showed as clear sailing.
YES! This is supposed to be a TRUCK. I am so sick of the government trying to protect me from myself. Trucks go places that need exceptions. An easy fix to this is to have Rivian allow the truck to move up to 3 MPH or something with the door open. I’ve had a Tesla for over 8 years and never...
When Alex actually does work, but you have the radio playing and you call Alexa the radio doesn’t turn the volume down enough to hear Alex speak back to you. Alexa often hears the radio voice instead of yours in this case and try’s to answer your song’s lyrics.
I know that Rivian can turn down...
Let me start by saying, Tune-In Sucks. In general Rivian made the same mistake that a lot of city dwellers make, in thinking that cell coverage is good in the United States everywhere. Not true. I drop phone calls almost daily in good coverage areas. This adventure vehicle I purchased allows...
I wonder if it is possible to switch out a powered cover to the manual tonneau cover after delivery I've had my R1T for about a month and the powered tonneau is already broken.
There is a buffer, but usually not more than 4-5 minutes. Also interesting when you get in the truck the next morning and hear the local radio station on Tune-In playing the buffer from the night before, then suddenly it goes live in the middle of a song or conversation.
Just took my "Adventure Vehicle" on an adventure, mostly no more than 10 miles from a major highway. Many places with limited or no cell phone service. Disappointing that my buddies 2014 Chevy with XM radio was my only source of music and talk radio during our trip. Ironic that an adventure...
No real-time traffic information in navigation is a huge problem Rivian needs to fix ASAP. This lack of information cost me an extra hour on my latest trip, when my friends in their Tesla got there by going around the traffic they were aware of via their navigation an hour earlier than me.

Better to go on a weekday anyway. Weekends were so busy you had to wait in line just to sit in the truck. I went Monday and there were almost as many Rivian Employees as there were customers, especially in the morning. We got a lot of one-on-one time in the trucks, asking questions, playing...
