Somewhat interesting anecdotal tale about charging to 100% daily. after-60000-miles-charging-100-every-night-ford-f-150-lightning-owner-says-his-battery-shows

The 20" wheel/tire combo on my R1T was available only as an All Terrain package that included the underbody shield. I'm under no illusions that it's watertight. I just hope that since the shield prevents me from rinsing the undercarriage, something that I would typically do frequently given the...

It looks like I'm in no danger of loosing my claim to being the last Rivian owner to get updates. ETA for OTA .46 is sometime s00n.

It does not seem to be a Rivian policy to proactively replace v1.5 PTC's with the latest version. I hoped this would be the case when I brought my R1T in for tonneau cover problems back in October, but the SC fixed the issue, at least temporarily, and I continue to limp along with v1.5. See my...

I had (have) the AT package, with 20" dark wheels and 275/65R20 Pirelli Scorpion+ AT tires. I kept the OEM wheels and tires to use for winter driving (the Scorpions are 3PMSF rated, though they don't get enthusiastic reviews in that role); winters here in southeast PA have been pretty mild, so I...

I just looked at the General website again and you are correct that the listed starting tread depth is 10/32. The invoice from the shop that I purchased the tires from however (a trusted local car shop that I've been using forever) stated that the starting depth was 12/32. I hope that the...

Very informative OTA roadmap - thanks @Rivian Roamer. This may not be the thread for my question about the key fob update that your OTA Roadmap spurred (snip below) , but I'll ask it anyway. I've often gotten a prompt about a fob update, coincident with a scheduled OTA update. Yet even with...

My R1T was configured with the PTC but due to parts shortages, was delivered without it. About six months later (Dec 2024) the SC installed what I believe is v1.5. I really have not had any serious issues with my R1T but the PTC has always seemed to be on the edge of catastrophic failure. A...

I have the same Thule box and am in the process of mounting it on my R1T. In my case, I'm using the Mars Expedition bed rack, which, since the crossbars can be moved pretty much anywhere on the rack, I thought would allow me to simply use the Thule clamps. Unfortunately, that's not the case...

Ford's decision makes sense for a US-based enterprise driven primarily by quarterly results and that relies heavily on the North American market for the sale of its most profitable vehicles. Ford is also likely reacting to the changes in Federal policies that favor ICE vehicles over EV's, and...

I've pretty much always had issues with the Rivian app on my phone, and the ones you mention have been occurring with increasing frequency since the last update. I've always chalked it up to my phone type (Android) and age (3 y/o Galaxy S23), but that may be my way of rationalizing being lazy in...

If there is any truth in these recent articles, to paraphrase what a much-reviled president once said as he headed into political exile, "you won't have Tesla to kick around anymore." https://fortune.com/2025/10/24/ex-stellantis-ceo-carlos-tavares-elon-musk-tesla-may-not-exist-tsla-stock-loss/...

"Oh sorry, this is abuse. Argument's just down the hall . . . ('stupid git')"

I had that problem last winter here in PA, my first with the R1T. It only happened once, but it was during a pretty severe Nor'easter, so it was a PITA. This thread just reminded me that I need to disable the mirror auto-fold for the next few months.

The lifetime efficiency display for my Gen 1 2024 PDM Large pack R1T over about 11,300 miles shows 2.55 mi/kWh, roughly in line with what other G1's DM owners are seeing. I don't tow or off-road, but a lot of the mileage is around town, which I would think pulls the average down a bit. I'm...

Very belated bump.

While I'm tempted to complain about consistently getting the OTA updates well after they initially roll out - it was 10/29 for the Holloween update last year for example - there is a benefit to being among the last: I rarely have the issues that those who get the updates earlier often report.

This just in from the meaningless statistics desk: Ford, Chevy And Mercedes Still Can't Touch Rivian's Electric Van electric-van-sales-us-q3-2025

That's great to know, and I really hope that's what happens. Not sure it's a lock however, and have a nagging fear that the SC may be able to get things "working" with a forced recalibration and a judicious application of dry lube.

My R1T (VIN 31xxx) was configured with the PTC but due to parts shortages, it was not included at delivery last June (2024). It was installed at the SC six months later, in early Dec 2024 (assume it was a V1.5) and though noisy, worked properly until a few months ago. The PTC spent most of its...
