Do you know if they replaced the panels with new ones? Or are those the original panels? Mine have been scratched from when some debris got caught while retracting.
Thank you for posting all of the details on your build and journey. The truck looks absolutely incredible! Love the way the trim came out. And the wheels and tires look awesome. That's a great combo. Enjoy it!
Agree with others that 120v is not the way to go if you will use the cabin in Maine winters. We have a place in the Adirondacks and barely maintained charge on 120v when it got really cold (<0 degree F). If you can afford it, have your electrician trench a line and install a 14-50 plug near your...
We've had a Model X for 4 years and now an R1T for 1 year. We regularly make about a 225 mile trip from Northern NJ to the Adirondacks. The Model X will do it, but barely, if you charge to 100% and stay at 70 or lower. The R1T makes it without a problem, even charging only to 90%. And it's much...
Not liking the update. Agree with others that I would like a “medium” setting that is basically the old programming. Low speed coming out of my driveway was grest - much improved. After that, not so much. I don’t feel like bumps at speed are dramatically better. I still feel them. And the side...
Absolutely love it! Still looks perfect after 10 months, 15k miles. Love the wood color that comes with it. My launch Green with Forest Edge is a great combo. Looks great with most of the other colors, too.
My wife has a Model X, and we share the Rivian Wall Charger. Neither of us typically drive far enough in 1 day to need to charge both vehicles daily. We just try to make a point of plugging in one of the vehicles each night, and that’s worked perfectly for us now for almost a year. We bought...
I am a pretty risk averse person and often feel a bit of “buyers remorse” right after agreeing to a big purchase (usually before completing the purchase - when buying a house, that month between contract and closing is terrible for me :p ). While I originally had that feeling when I selected my...
I have not gotten the update yet, but from the photos I’ve seen, I like the way Rivian implemented this. It looks like you can still select 70/85/100 easily, but then there’s also the slide for custom limits. It’s nice to have both. Tesla has just the slider and the OCD in me gets annoyed when I...
There must be something to this - Tesla doesn’t offer CarPlay/Android Auto. Rivian obviously doesn’t. And now GM is ditching it for their EVs. Is it because of the issue of letting someone’s phone handle navigation when it doesn’t have the vehicle’s data about battery range/efficiency/etc.?
Nothing scientific, but my wife’s Tesla (dual motor Model X) eats thru front tires faster than this. We get a year and ~12,000 miles maybe. Replaced the front OEM continental after 1 year, and then swapped all 4 for Michelins after year 2. Just now replaced the front Michelins after a year. She...
Old thread, but in my case, it wasn’t the truck. I restarted my phone and the app connection came right back. Haven’t seen the Connection Lost page since.
I haven’t driven an R1T on 22’s. I have the 20’s. But we have a Model X, too, and I find the ride in the Rivian vastly superior. I always used to joke in the X that I could feel a cigarette butt in the road in that thing. Our X is a 2019 Raven. Maybe the newer ones are better.
My wife’s Tesla X got ~10-12k on the OEM Conti’s. And they’re staggered. And crappy traction. We switched to Michelins this year and getting somewhat better wear. But the weight and torque of EVs will always eat tires. I’d love to get 25k on the Rivian AT’s. They’re also 3-peak snow rated, so a...
My wife does that, too!
I meant above the phone. There’s a gap there between the bottom of the armrest and the Rivian mat. I’m just curious how tight it is once you add the new pad you made and a phone on top. Thanks!
