  1. How long do you plan to keep your current Rivian?

    In the second year of a 3 year lease on my R1T Gen 2. If the R2 came in a truck I might switch. Will look at the R2S, but like the truck. Also need to review the towing specs. Might just purchase this R1T as I love driving it and it gives me no troubles.
  2. "Electrical system fault" message. Has anyone had any issues with the latest software upgrade? Also have issues with self drive since the upgrade.

    One issue on the self drive came up today. Major interstate with scanners to charge your account or send you a bill from the license reader. One of the original hands free roads I used many times. Well, went on that road for the first time since the upgrade and it now thinks these readers are...
  3. 2025.46 Do Not Attempt Digitsl Key Setup Unless You are Sure Your Phone is Compatable

    I had a bit of a problem getting the new digital phone system to connect to my phone. Worked it out with a phone call to Rivian on Sunday afternoon without much time and to my total satisfaction. What was EXTREMELY frustrating was that until it was fixed, the phone app was worthless as I had...
  4. Service Centers Improving, Right?

    When you get there, the Charlotte SC is great. It is all the gyrations with Rivian and the appointment that is frustrating. First its a home visit and the day before it becomes a SC visit in the future. Trying to coordinate with another future SC visit and whining about the wait they find an...
  5. Next Year's Halloween Display

    It has to be released earlier. Availability the weekend before Halloween allows no time to get "extra" dress up for the truck for the parties the weekend before Halloween. Oh the things I could have done with the truck but had no time. Just a plain truck with sounds and lights.
  6. What accessory did you buy… that wasn’t worth it?

    Ditto on this. I bought a roof shade too and rarely use it. Quite frankly. the nice roof window is rather useless for those up front unless you really want to crane your neck to look up. Might be good for the backseat passengers, but who looks up when you are driving?
  7. Proactive half-shaft replacement?

    Replacement of the front half shafts was added at the last moment to a scheduled recall on the front lights and turn signals. Monitoring this site, I knew there was some issues and when I questioned the tech when I dropped off the vehicle, they said it was a proactive replacment. When I went...
  8. FM Radio "Could Not Connect" error

    Sometimes the radio works, Sometimes it does not. When it does, frequently takes a minute or two to come on. Like I told the survey when I bought the truck - I have been driving for over fifty years and the radio always worked when the vehicle was turned on. Not in the most expensive...
  9. Request: Lighted charging socket

    For me, the problem is not the lack of light in the charging socket. I cannot see the charging socket because he front light bar is so bright. I just stab until it connects.
  10. PSA for those getting a new phone -- you could be boned if you do this....

    New phone last week. All Bluetooth connections lost as expected. Everything reconnected.
  11. How can Rivian say the sound quality is better after this update?

    I have more work on to confirm my premise, but the source may make a difference also. Apple music under mp3/4 does does not have a full sound. Surprised at the much better sound when we received Sirius/XM.
  12. Venting Windows

    You guys are so much more adept than myself. I can spend several minutes trying to get the windows just right without them going all the way sown then all the way up. And to do it for each window. Just like the application in the app and think it should be on the "open" (frunk, tailgate...
  13. Venting Windows

    Does any one else think it is odd that we can vent windows through the phone app, but nothing on the huge car screen that vents the windows?
  14. What is your "minor wish?"

    A real radio. I know, a lot to ask for in an EV where everything is connected. But for over 60 years I got into a car and the radio worked. Now it is sometimes on as I left it, sometimes it is rebooting, sometimes it says it cannot connect and sometimes I just ride in silence because I am tired...
  15. What regen mode do you use?

    Low when I picked up the vehicle in Atlanta and high ever since I arrived in Charlotte. Seems very intuitive and it gives me no issues. Rarely touch the brakes. under the new energy screen, I seem to get any where from 25% to over 33% regen as compared to total KwHr used in city driving.
  16. Parallel Parking Assist - When?

    Confession here. I did not answer all the survey questions on parking assist as I assume the R1T did not have it. Being old school, I assumed parking assist was the car would park itself. Now that I know what parking assist really means, I have been using it all the time since the beginning...
  17. Carbon Dioxide levels inside cabin while using HVAC in Auto mode

    Need to do the test on all vehicles, particularly ICE. If it is a recirculation problem, then it may be an issue will all vehicles. No discussion on the potential sources other than recirculation. Best advice? Crack a window.
  18. TOWING: Hitch Receiver? What are you using? RIVIAN has the hitch receiver sunk an extra 2" deep because of that stupid bumper....

    Lot of fancy hitches here. I don't know what I am doing correctly, but I am using a 6" hitch I have used for at least 25 years on a 4Runner and Tacoma and now my R1T. Probably bought at WalMart. No problems, it all fits, I have pulled trailers and boats no issues. What I have found is that...
  19. Rivian - Built like a Tank - Full Size Crew Cab Truck vs Rivian R1S Wreck

    Don't disagree. Just stating that the "accelerometer" takes quite a bit of deceleration to kick in the brake light. Beyond what using a brake on an ICE would do. MHO.
