  1. Good News

    Our guide was ok....nice but to be honest, wasn't as well versed with the purchasing process as we would have liked. Since then, the service center has been beyond amazing. When we have had issues (only 1 major one and a couple of minor ones and the 12v battery was going bad), the service was...
  2. 2024.11.00 update?

    I would love to have the ability to increase the blinker sound. It is hard to hear sometimes.
  3. Resolved (my) excessive wind noise 2023 R1T (cause: corner window plastic trim)

    We have a ticket to get it looked at. The mobile guy that came to our house to replace the 12v battery a couple of weeks ago said that the SC can fix it. I guess it is a known issue. I put in a ticket and they called and said they can do a mobile service. We have the manual tonneau cover and...
  4. would you buy R1T again as of 3/25/2024?

    We ordered our spare tire (from the Rivian website) in August of 2023 and they came to the house and delivered it and put it in the truck for us.
  5. Home Charger recommendation?

    We bought a Rav4 Prime alost 3 years ago. It is a plug-in hybrid. We ended up buy a Lectron 32a 14-50 NEMA and had an outlet installed. It doesn't have the ability to connect to the wiFi or set a time (the model we got, there might be other ones that do). You can set the times on the Rivian app...
  6. would you buy R1T again as of 3/25/2024?

    Are you talking about the "S" or the "T". The "S" doesn't have a spare tire spot, but the "T" does have a spot for it...lift the compartment in the truck bed. The truck bed is covered in a plastic top....it is standard. We had to purchase it after we took ownership. It came with a full-size tire...
  7. would you buy R1T again as of 3/25/2024?

    Absolutely. Like a lot of people are saying, I would get the Dual motor because the QUAD is overkill for our needs. We don't do offroading....so that would be ideal. But at the time, the Dual wasn't available. I will admit, I love launching in ALL-PURPOSE.
  8. Will Rivian NACS adapter allow charging with just V3 and V4 Tesla superchargers?

    There won't be a native NACS port (instead of the CCS1) until 2026 from what I read.....but who knows with the upcoming refresh.
  9. R1T ranked above Cybertruck and Lightning in real-world comparison test (Motortrend 3/18/24 review)

    Are you at 100%?. I drive the R1T, QUAD, Large Battery and I charge to 90% and I get 290ish. I try to keep it at 70, but I vary between 70 & 75 and if I stay at the ~75 speed, I get about 240 miles....which is perfect for my commute. I also get to charge for free at work all day, so I can charge...
  10. R1T ranked above Cybertruck and Lightning in real-world comparison test (Motortrend 3/18/24 review)

    The people that drive the CT's remind me of the 1980's "Miami Vice" wannabe' that pop their polo shirt collars, 5 o'clock shadow and listen to the theme song non-stop. I was watching"Auto Space" (Marques Brownlee) and he was talking about his CT that he was testing and he mentioned that if you...
  11. Article: How do I get free Rivian-approved NACS DC adapter? Shipping in April!

    As my beautiful wife says to me "we will get them when we get them". I am one of those "I need it now" and then it sits on my shelf for 6 months. Since we have had the R1T (May 2023) I have only used RAN chargers, EA, and EVGo and that was 6 months ago. I don't see us doing a road trip for a...
  12. This is why I no longer use the Rivian for Long Distance trips.

    TLDR I tell people that before they go on a long trip to study the PLUG-SHARE map with all the possible stops you might need to make to charge. When we went to Disneyland from NorCal, 2 months prior I was keying in scenarios and reading reviews. The one I was planning on charging at at one of...
  13. Truck Icon Image - what does it mean?

    kneel mode.....sometimes referred to as "short people assistant access"
  14. Range in Mojave preserve?

    My in-laws have a cabin they live in 6 months of the year. It is off a bumpy fire road.....have yet to take it to their cabin, we use our RAV4 Prime and it makes it perfectly fine......so I know the R1T would be just fine, but there are narrow areas with tree branches sticking out and rocks...
  15. EA broke my truck*

    EA is what happens when they lie about their emissions data back about 15 years ago. Their punishment was to create EA. That is like sending a teenager to their room to clean it up and they only pick up half the stuff and complain the whole time. Of the 4 times we used EA, 3 were amazing (2...
  16. Turn Signal Sound

    The signal sound isn't as bad as when we had the Volvo XC40 Recharge. My wife said, "it sounds like my Grandma's 1970's Granada". I do wish they gave the choice of raising the volume just a bit....especially it is on for more than 15 seconds.
  17. Out of Spec Kyle's 4,500 mile Cybertruck review. Gives verdict vs his Rivian R1T

    "Out of Spec. Dave" is part of the Out of Spec. review team and Dave is Kyle's Dad. He is as knowledgeable as Kyle.
  18. Range in Mojave preserve?

    Looks fun and beautiful. I am not adventurous enough (or skilled) to drive off-road (other than a first road). Did you worry about bashing up the Rivian?. I know some people are like "Its meant to go offroad and if you aren't then why have it?". To that I say "I have over 100,000...
  19. Official from Rivian: Powered Tonneau Cover now available on select R1T configurations and priced at $500

    We might look into getting it installed....eventually. We have the manual one now and of all the things Rivian did great, this ISN'T one of them. While the installation of the manual cover is easy enough, if you want to remove it, you have to take it apart and store it in the gear tunnel (or...
