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...
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...
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...
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...
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.
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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.
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...
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...
