Consumer Reports should really categorize the issues when they report "reliability" data like this. Rivian scored poorly on their reliability metric, but scored very high on their customer satisfaction metric. We had about 5 "issues" we found after delivery that took a long time to address...

If the mirrors tilted down in reverse, would you have seen that bollard? I think they're working on that update eventually, but it's a feature I sorely miss from vehicles I've had.

I've taken off a door knob from an exterior door I don't use often, and run the extension cords thru the door that way.

I just used the Trenton service center - my R1 was there for a couple of weeks. At the nearby Enterprise rental that Rivian arranged for me, they offered me a Ram 1500 with the Hemi as one of my options. Enterprise said they try to put you into a mid-sized SUV or above. Don't know how heavy...

That's a good point. So I just checked again... Shows 183kw average top speed. But also shows "status unknown" for the 4 chargers. In PlugShare the last comment was a couple of days ago saying 3 of the 4 chargers are down! It's going to take Rivian a little while to get better data. So for...

This is great info to have, really happy Rivian added this. However, based on a sample of one EA station that I make it point to avoid based on poor experiences - the EA ratings may currently have some flaws. I see this station rated as "A". But this station has been hot garbage for over a...

I've been using the wristband since it works reliably and I always have it on me. PAAK implementation is wacky, it locks and unlocks the truck from too far away and sometimes doesn't work at all. Keyfob always defaults to my [short] wife's seat presets no matter what I do, so it tries to kill...

Haven't owned a Tesla so can't comment on that comparison. But I find the Rivian app does most of what I need and has significantly improved with regular releases. And I find the Rivian app is much more usable than the Ford app (that one is getting better but their progress has been very slow).

Looks like TuneIn added back the option to unsubscribe in Settings->Subscription. It wasn't there a few days ago. I had to cancel mine by emailing customer service.

Have you tried creating a schedule from the truck instead of from the app? When the feature first rolled out, mine wasn't working when I scheduled from the app but was ok from the truck. But now the app seems to work. Not sure why.

Ford's currently offering $12,500 retail bonus cash on the platinums, so those are likely the prices after applying the discount. Looks like a great deal especially if you qualify for the federal rebate too. Like the OP said, the R1T is the better truck if the size is right for you. But if you...

@Scoiatael , great write up! Agree with pretty much everything. Personally I find Bluecruise works better than than Driver+ on long highway drives, but Driver+ does a better job handling merging cars and also with stop and go traffic.

Looks like more than just Spotify issues in this update. I've been having problems with Tidal too... skip forward, back, and pause buttons disappear on the screen after a few seconds, and don't work from the steering wheel buttons either. Have to pick another song on screen for the controls to...

I'm on the .42 version of the Rivian software and Android 14, I've started seeing this problem on the app in the last couple of days. Guessing the latest version of the Rivian app has this issue. I'm not able to turn on the climate control or unlock the doors from the app. Doing a force stop of...

Could use a hair dryer or heat gun - you've got 120v in the cab. There are also battery powered heat guns if you don't want a cord. It was mentioned by someone with a similar issue on the Lightning forum.

Wow. What's with all the Rivian apologists on this forum? They're so quick to dismiss users with serious issues with their vehicle. I have an R1T and it's been reliable, but I want to hear if others are having problems with theirs. It's good to air this stuff out so that it gets fixed.

The guideline is that you should run a continuous load (like EV charging) at 80% max of the circuit's rated capacity to avoid damage to the circuit. So you should charge at a max of 40 amps to be safe (Rivian default is 48 amps). Luckily Rivian let's you dial down the charge rate settings on...

I've had the occasional "vehicle alarm triggered" alert sent to my phone from our R1T. Today it was parked in our garage when it happened again, so that seemed kinda strange. I didn't hear anything from the garage, just saw the alert on my phone. I went to the truck and reviewed the Gear Guard...

Hi @ATL_R1S, good speculations. It's also possible that the inverter didn't fail. It might be something as simple as a failed sensor for that inverter, or software failing to read the sensor correctly.

@ozziegt totally agree with you. We've had our Rivian for 9 months and still find the whole lock/unlock experience unsatisfactory. Frankly I'm pretty surprised at how poorly implemented it is. Hoping Rivian gets around to improving it. Ended up turning off PAAK because ours was locking and...
