I’ll make sure to tell my partner ? I laughed pretty hard when she got it, but figured at least she wouldn’t have any issues finding it around the house and wouldn’t have to worry about anyone taking it if she ever left it lying around.

I killed three birds with one stone recently by purchasing this 3D print on etsy. A few of my chief irritations early on were where to store large water bottles in a way that doesn't flop around on every corner/bump, where to put coins, and how to make better use the massive front storage...

On a different "things I hate" note: I killed three birds with one stone recently by purchasing a 3D print on etsy. A few of my chief irritations early on were where to store large water bottles in a way that doesn't flop around on every corner/bump, where to put coins, and how to make better...

The irony is, coming from a 2022 Tacoma with CarPlay, I actually preferred the experience to my Rivian. I never used Toyota’s software, but at least they had the sense to let us use Apple’s.

I don’t think it’s only a Rivian problem per se (Bluetooth “stickiness”), but what is a Rivian problem is that it won’t remember my settings for never wanting my phone to play through Rivian audio. It gives the option (good thing), but never seems to remember my preference (bad thing). After the...

I find it annoying, but have found that when the truck doesn't unlock when I need it to, I can trigger the unlock by either holding my thumb to the indent in the handle or if that doesn't work, holding my phone to the handle. You can also turn off the wake light sequence so that you aren't...

Did you already sell this? I’ll buy it if you haven’t! It’s not letting me PM you… Maybe you can PM me?

Where in VT do you live? The roads in central/NE VT were wild this spring. I was dragging my Tacoma TRD-OR's belly on several occasions. Have you decided if you're going to get dedicated snow tires? I almost always have, but these tires seem like they might do well in the winter, and are...

This being the case, do RWD EVs (Tesla single motor cars come to mind) combine rear motor regen with front braking to achieve sufficient deceleration while one pedal driving? I would imagine it wouldn't be very safe to only regen with rear motor(s) and no front braking, especially on loose or...

These are all salient points. I actually have more experience drifting AWD cars than RWD—starting with 2001 Audi A4 2.8 Quattro in high school, then a Subaru Legacy 2.5GT, and now 2001 Audi S4—all with manual transmissions, which gives the ability to use clutch and e-brake in conjunction to...

Compared to an ICE FWD vehicle I would think there could be accelerated wear due to only two tires handling regen braking (unless rear friction brakes are blended in as well, which I haven’t confirmed), but I assume that would be the case with RWD EVs in reverse. Then again, I’m not aware of...

I agree that mentioning increased tire wear to the front isn’t necessary, however I do think that it should pop up a message that you are entering a FWD mode when you enter conserve mode. When my dad took delivery of the R1T I’m now driving, he put it in conserve to see what the estimated range...

So I suppose drift mode intentionally keeps sending torque to slipping rear wheels to allow oversteer angle manipulation with throttle input? I’m excited to try drift mode on snow and mud. In VT we have a 5th season we call “mud season,” and this year was as bad as it has gotten in decades. This...

Thats a good point. I have noticed the reduced regen in conserve, and it finally occurred to me weeks in why (kind of a “well duh!” moment). It just occurred to me that this is likely why they went with FWD! RWD regen alone probably wouldn’t provide ample stopping power without blended in front...

Has anyone seen if Rivian gives a reason for selecting FWD instead of RWD for that clutch disconnect? It just seems like an odd choice to me… RWD provides better traction under acceleration and going up hills than FWD (hence why they give more torque to the rear motors in all the AWD modes), so...

Dang, I’m in the same boat. I guess I need to check this thread daily!

That’s what I suspected, which seems like an unfortunate decision. Most people coming from trucks are used to RWD, and many EVs are as well. Why would they choose FWD only for the two-wheel drive mode? It seems like an odd decision. Would there be any added friction/drag on the system or...

I am wondering if it’s mechanically possible to have a rear-wheel drive mode. I would like to be able to choose a rear-wheel drive conserve mode, and possibly the choice of a rear wheel drift mode. Having the truck for only a month, I have only had it during dry conditions here in VT, where I...

Not sure if we’re just talking into the void here… Does anybody know if any Rivian Software team employees frequent this forum? Major annoyances I want addressed ASAP: My truck WILL NOT EVER seem to remember my bluetooth preferences, which are to only play media audio and not connect to calls...

This is a ridiculous argument. Not including CP all but certainly costs Rivian and/or its customers in opportunity cost—perhaps not monetarily for the latter, more so in terms of value and brand allegiance, but eventually it will cost Rivian some sales if they don’t have the feature. For many...
