I posted my experience on my local Facebook Rivian Group and two other owners reported the same behaviour. And obviously, they’ve got the same weather I do. Looking to me like a Gen 2-wide issue, which would be noticed only in cold locales.

Do you have a Gen 1 or Gen 2? I’m starting to wonder, despite what the service centre told me, if it couldn’t be a heat pump hardware limitation. Saying that because when it’s really cold outside, even if I put the system on LO and turn off Auto, warm air still comes out of the vents. Maybe...

Good thought but defrost isn’t on, nor do I precondition the R1T. The car is in my heated garage and when I leave, it‘s got the floor vents and the window vents on. That’s it. Heat is initially ok but after a while you realize that it just kept heating past the set point as the R1T is turning...

Visited the SC for the overheating issue. Turns out one sensor was not properly calibrated which they fixed. They confirmed everything else hardware-wise was working normally. Drove off and unfortunately, didn’t really see an improvement. Returned to the SC and tried the system with the tech...

So called tech support last week who booked me into the SC today for my overheating issue. SC reached out last Friday asking for when the issue occurred so they could look at the logs. Got back to me yesterday saying they couldn’t find any anomalies but wanted me to come in to physically check...

I’m having this issue too. Heat just keeps going. Have tried turning off the system and then back on, toggling Auto off and on as well as several vent configurations including shutting down the rear or not. Still no luck. Open to suggestions (or a software update). I’ll note that I can’t...

Update. Today I had some time and tested the HVAC with the R1T in my garage which I keep at 15C/59F. The HVAC appeared to behave normally and reached the set point without overshooting. Earlier in the day as I was driving around, it again blew right past the set point and kept heating. The car...

Has anyone gone to service with this? If so, was there a hardware fix for this? New Gen 2 R1T owner here and I’m experiencing a lot of what I read here. Set HVAC at say 64 and the system blows past it and just keeps heating.

Hey all. So I’ve tried all the suggestions above. Setting the temp all the way up and then all the way down as well as turning off and on the HVAC. I’ve also done several reboots. The issue, however, seems to persist. The system heats past the set point when in auto mode. Today, I set it at 63...

Thanks for the link. I’ll read that with great interest as we plan our first outing later this Spring. To answer your question, I was towing a 16’ Airstream Bambi single axle trailer with the Model X. Outside of us wanting a larger trailer, this was the perfect towing combination. That...

Thanks. I’ll try that, setting temperature all the way up and then down.

That’s helpful. Good to know. I’ll go more by feel.

Hey all. New 2025 R1T. I've noticed that on 'Auto' mode, the HVAC system just keeps heating past the set point. For instance, I set it to 69F but the car gets really hot. When I check the app, it tells me the cabin is at 73F. The system is on auto, fan is on medium, recirculate is on, back seat...

TriMax? You mean I should trade in that Dual Motor less than 24 hrs after getting it? ;)

Ah! Yes! Don’t like to show off a dirty ride, though some would say it’s the natural state of an adventure vehicle. Here it is at delivery and then after, sporting winter wheels and tires, as well as a good dose of Montreal slush.

Thanks! Any specific brand of dry lube recommended by Rivian?

Hey all. After years of waiting and hesitating, I dove in and took delivery of an El Cap R1T Max Pack. The car is replacing my Model S daily driver and a RAM 2500 tow vehicle (for a 25' Airstream). What made me finally purchase is the growing desire to streamline my fleet size (insurance...

So, thanks all. Took delivery of my R1T yesterday. Went straight to a specialized EV shop here in Montreal. Had them put on 20” EV Sportline R1000 wheels in black with Nokian R5 SUVs mounted on them (the factory recoed tire). I’m super pleased with my choice and happy to not have gone with...

Thanks for this. I wasn‘t really thinking circumference/diameter since I’m running the recommended 20” Nokian R5s on 20” wheels. I suspect that matches Rivian specs, no? I was just wondering if, like in a Tesla, you need to tell it what you’re running, even if just going from All Season to...

Yep. I know. It does speak French, and Canadian French for that matter. However, the Rivian launch announcement for Quebec specifically stipulated Alexa was ‘available in English only’ and ‘not available in Quebec’. So I know it’s their official position, just wondering if there’s a workaround...
