It's just due to air flow, HVAC air intake position, and strong smelling washer fluid. Typical for all Rivians. Edit. It shouldn't persist for days, the trim below the windshield directs excess off to the left and right, the trim that snaps over it, which covers the 12v batteries (on gen 1)...

Rivian actually filed a patent that uses a portion of the HV battery for low voltage components to eliminate the 12v battery from its vehicles in the future. If this makes it into the R2, it would be huge for both Rivian and consumers. From...

That's actually a pretty solid theory. I am curious what the "user accessible" service menu will look like and what options and information it will allow owners to see. I hope it's more than just the RiDE menu 12v reset option.

A 12v battery replacement is just a fact of life. It sucks in an EV because they need the 12v to be a short term power supply for other systems until such time as it needs to charge itself back up and engage the HV contacts. If it doesn't have the power to do so, then it continues to deplete the...

Saw that too... Doubled down in the title and the post. Curious how my Blackberry Curve holds up as PAAK

There are Ascent motors, the question really is if it's just a pair of Enduro motors in a single housing and branded Ascent, or a completely different setup. Video starts at the drivetrain breakdown. Gen 1 Quad - 4 Bosch Motors Dual Motor - 2 Enduro motors Tri Motor - 1 Enduro in the front, 2...

@Divus I do have questions even after watching dozens of videos. I don't have a lot near by to help answer some of these. 1. Would you buy a Rivian again? YES 2. How is living with a R1T with a family of 4? Family of 3. 2 adults, one nearly 3 year old. its great. 3. How is hauling luggage with...

On your ICECO energy use comment. I have an ICECO i keep in the bed of my T with a ratchet strap to keep it from sliding. On long trips you can save some of the energy used/lost due to inverter inefficiencies by only running the cooler periodically and turning off the outlets. It's a minimal...

But.... What about Garmin 😢

plywood on the bottom and sides, and you're golden. Similar situation for me, I always made due with an SUV for moving stuff etc. R1T was my first truck and we also got it at a time when we were starting more yard work etc, so definitely came in handy.

The comments section on that Reddit post are all you need to know about how the sales are going to be.

On your point about the R2 and 4Runner, it's interesting because prior to preordering my R1T I was looking at a 4Runner/Tacoma. Tacoma interior was a bit too small for me, but the 4Runner hit the mark, but the engine at the time was almost 10 years old. When I happened across a Rivian article...

I think they were just a couple extra pieces I brought with me just in case and just put them against the back of the cab before loading. I ended up cutting a couple rips about 19" high x 52" for the sides of the bed any time I'm hauling gravel, makes it easier to keep the tonneau track clean...

Granted dumping a ton of rocks into the bed of a pickup sounds extreme, it can be done without damaging the truck. The perceived "precious" nature of an R1T hasn't stopped me from using the truck as I need to. Beyond the photos i've posted, i've also hauled road base, rounds of firewood, towed...

You know what kinda sucks... As an R1T owner, I'm a bit offended by it's poor sales. It's the best driving platform Rivian has, is extremely versatile and well thought out, Gear tunnel alone is epic. I understand the popularity of the R1S, but even as a family, having lived with and camped with...

I've wondered how exactly Scout was planning to generate enough power given the size of the EREV engine they had placed in the rear, under the bed of the truck. Harvester Scout variant to me always seemed like a small 50kW generator in the rear, which might be enough to give you some added...

Of the videos I've watched today, the Carwow video was the best and really gets to the feel of driving the R2, the rest were more focused on trim and interior exterior.

The real meat was this portion of the CarWow video. Rivian said they still have some BMS work to do on the charging side, but it will achieve a peak of 240kW. I've included screenshots of the preproduction charging curve 20-83%, which peaked at 190kW, before ramping down.

Having watched MKB, Doug, and Jerry Rig videos, now. I'm impressed, more so than I thought I would be. Two draw backs, and they're minor. First is the removal of the pop out rear windows, that was a nice throwback to some of the vehicles of my childhood. Second is no vents in the rear cargo...

I really hope this means they have learned and are able to maintain optimal charging and cabin cooling in 30c temps without something derating.
