A physical on/off switch would be nice, or at the very minimum a software update for the speaker. I "turned" mine off a few days ago, then two days later it's beeping at me again. A quick look and the non-intuitive control panel was lit up again and it was back to it's old random beeping game...
This is hilarious. Our R1T seems to beep at us all the time when we're in the garage. I read the manual, looked online and for the life of me could not figure out what the issue was and why it was randomly beeping. I emailed the guide who suggested I take it in for service.... Really...?? So...
Yesterday I had to run an errand and one of the dogs insisted on coming for a ride in the R1T. No worries. Since she is a princess, she wants to sit in the front seat. And to stop the chime from chiming because the princess won't wear the seat belt, I buckle the belt up.
After charging the...
The battery capacity/range for Jeff's trucks was specified by Amazon. Amazon has a lot of data/analytics on how far they drive, how many stops they make, blah blah blah. Rivian and Amazon worked together to come up with the specs on the vans. As it turns out, they do a lot of stop and go driving...
I have all that turned off, and I see about 1% per night also. But... 1% out of 125Kw sounds like 1,350 watts over an 8 hour period. So this truck draws 168 watts per hour doing nothing? Geeze, the least it could do is fold my laundry or make coffee for that much power.
And.... One more...
And... while they are at it... Please have an option where it "always" goes into the camp mode when parked. Sitting in my shop the think draws hundreds of watts doing nothing.... The camp mode improves that, it just needs to happen automatically.
We picked up our R1T early June, and wow is it awesome. But, I have a couple of suggestions for RJ... And I wonder if I am the only one thinking this....
1) Cruise control works great. BUT... when I turn off cruise control the regen brakes slow the vehicle down aggressively, even when regen is...
We've had the R1T now for about a month. It's really my wife's truck, but she lets me use it periodically to tow a trailer. The first pic (I hope...) is some sticks to cut up at the sawmill. The total weight of the wood and trailer is maybe 7k pounds. The second was at the EvGo refill station on...
We went to Easton MD Thursday and came back today. Pulled the trailer to see how things went. At first the 'puter said we'd get half the mileage, but it quickly ramped up to maybe 75% of the non-towing range. Still, before crossing the Bay Bridge in summer traffic we fueled up at the EvGo fill...
Wayno here. Had the R1T for a month now. We live in Davidsonville Maryland and are seeing more and more Rivians on the road. Hilariously, when I called my insurance company the local Erie agent I worked with also has a Rivian. We use this as a truck.... It says it will tow 11,000 pounds, so this...
