This happens occasionally with Dual motors... usually at highway speeds when you hit the accelerator suddenly. It has happened to me twice since I have owned my car. Hard reset fixes it. The first time, I opened a ticket. They said it was only a problem if it happens often and/or not solved by...

One thing I did notice after the last update… I use electrafi and confirmed it there too: My standard + pack used to have a 121kwh capacity. It now has 119kwh capacity. The change happened the first charge I did after the 2024.47 update.

I am curious if anybody else has had this happen and what the resolution was... This week, I loaded a few boxes into my truck bed (tonneau cover open) and headed for a 30 mile drive to a property we own. On the way, I got the notification that the truck bed was open. I pulled over and checked...

Instead of doing a reset - press your profile name at the top of the infotainment screen and hold it for 3-4 seconds. That also captures all the diagnostic data (without doing the reset).

Not to go too far off on a tangent from the original post but I have been getting pretty familiar with the front end of my R1T after I had the steering knuckle bolt issue 2 months ago. The speed sensor wiring harness is a disaster waiting to happen in my opinion. Park your truck and put it in...

I always wondered if weight distribution could significantly affect the 0-60 runs. It’s already a 7200 lb truck… but would an extra 200lbs in the bed right over the axle improve traction a little? Or maybe in the Frunk instead?

If you are just trying to power running lights or a license plate light on a rack (and don’t want to lose features) try this: Get a 4 wire trailer connector, and wire the running light and ground to a cheap 12v power supply and plug it into the 120v outlet. One of the recent OTA updates makes...

I would not try to run any accessories off the 12v (charge) line on the 7 way plug. I spent most of the fall this year pulling a trailer for my daughter’s school that lacked a battery… the trailer cabin LED lights were wired to it so a few observations: 1) The charge line is only energized when...

You can suction cup this to the hood, run the wire inside and alligator clips it to the 12v battery terminals. https://a.co/d/dz63Gna $49 on Amazon

I don’t think that power station has a big enough inverter or capacity to sustain even a level 1 charge… On the other hand, if you went with that power station, you could put a battery tender on it running right to the 12v battery. Your biggest risk is the 12v battery going dead. If it will...

Will it have access to sunlight? I have always wondered if one of these would be helpful... Rivian R1T Lensun 110W 12V Hood Flexible Solar Panel – LensunSolar It could maybe keep the 12v system from going flat.

Front hitch receiver for a winch, plow, etc.

I hope Rivian reads these forums. This is the right way to go. There is no reason alignments or windshield replacements (with the calibration) can ONLY be done in a SC. Even non-critical things like panel gaps (that should never make it past a QC or predelivery inspection) should be addressable...

I’d like to see another SC added in east TN… maybe even far northeast TN like the Bristol area. it would take a lot of pressure off the surrounding SC’s that are always backed up, including the DC and Raleigh areas. Unfortunately, for a direct service model like Rivian, every dollar spent on...

If you schedule the climate control in the app, there is a setting to “Pull power from the charger to maintain range.” Presumably, if you hit your charge limit overnight, it would just pull the power to run the HVAC from shore power.

I’ve had 3 critical failures in the first 7 months of ownership of a brand new R1T. 2 were bad enough the car could not be driven to the SC. All 3 were attributed to defects that made it out of the factory. The latest was the knuckle bolt / bearing failure. A dab of loctite on the knuckle bolt...

Don’t forget a dab of loctite!

Everybody with an R1 should be checking this at least every time you rotate tires. It would be good if Rivian would release what the correct torque spec should be. It’s easy enough to check once you know what you are looking for. Imagine the number of emergency tows, service center back logs...

Mine works pretty much fine but a buddy of mine in a very similarly configured R1T has it hanging when you try to play *any* song. He’s tried hard resets, infotainment resets and let it sleep but no fix. The service ticket has been opened a few days. I think they are waiting on the OTA to...

Right before each software update there seems to be a lot of anxiety about when it will push or if your truck has gotten it yet… I may be jaded by two decades selling software. For those that want to get it quickly… all I say is be careful what you wish for. Rivian pushes a new OTA update...
