The smartest move Rivian made was to penetrate the market with two before untouched markets, the truck and the SUV. I own both and for the category they serve it hands down beats anything Tesla has to offer, I can see if a person needs a car but has made a deposit on a truck or SUV, they would...
This is the second time around for me with Rivian and it is frustrating as heck. Took delivery of a R1T back in May. On delivery day they said it failed inspection with a misalignment of the roof line with the windsheild causing a centerline bulge. After back and forth with their only solution...
Ironic I am reading this post today when yesterday my 8K driven R1T was sitting in the driveway with the wheels turned and the first thing I noticed was how worn the front tires were already. Surprised me. I drive 80% in Conserve mode to make my round trip distance. Seems that might be a mistake.
Back in april I filled out the Purchase Authorization for my R1S. Then they pulled the plug on it saying they would go to employees only. Few months later I got my estimate of July Sept delivery window. After that blew by they said the new delivery window is October to December. Here we are end...
No commercials...... That would be nice. I have listened to the same commercial to the same commercials hundreds if not thousands of times. Not sure I understand why unless I need to subscribe .
Have had the vehicle for five months now and roughly 6K miles. Was curious if anyone else has the problem with TuneIn where the commercial breaks are twice as loud as the broadcast. With some of the more obnoxious ads the shock factor of switching to a commercial ahs me riding the volume knob...
Adding insult to injury. Got a call on Friday my vehicle had the minor defect repaired, and a few minor issues like lube to a squeaky shaft. They left the message that the vehicle had been fully inspected and was ready to go. Tried to call and confirm the recall work but no answer on the phone...
The day of delivery on my R1T the flatbed driver called and said the vehicle had a manufacturing defect during inspection. They said I can A. Accept the vehicle and it will be repaired. B. Refuse the vehicle and get back in line. Having been a reservation holder since Nov 27th 2018 for three...
I actually think it is becoming a deterrent for newbies wanting to get into the EV market. I comment more to others that they need to be prepared for the charging experience if they want to go in this direction. On my ICE vehicle it was easy, ten minute gas pit and I get home in 2 hours. With...
I think the comparison of the R1T and the F-150 falls short in many areas. Suffice it to say, if you do rely on a work truck for work, the R1T is not your vehicle of choice no matter what the drive chain is. It is in my opinion overkill in the performance, style, and finish category and lacking...
I currently have a R1T Launch Edition with the 20" All Terrain tires. Estimated range is 293 miles conserve model fully charge.
My question to the group, during the summer months I don't need the AT tires and would like to go for maximum range tire basically having two sets of wheels and tires...
It is a difficult number to achieve. At this early stage of EV adoption collecting numbers with some form of relative data points will be helpful. I just leave Trip B untouched since purchase and use that figure to calculate trip usage on average with my area of driving. But in the end...
These numbers don't mean much to the average user. In order to get a valid estimate of range, a controlled round trip needs to be done. And, even with this data, the real world of driving the vehicle is considerable influenced by elevation climbs. I drive my R1T to work on Sunday night roughly...
I understand your point. But as a counter to it, the Iphone has an up to date operating system and we are talking about a simple handshake of "hello, its me.....you opened the door for me when you recognized my iphone, but to go into drive is too much to ask. " If it was a security issue, why...
Ever since the last software release I have had issues putting the vehicle in drive or reverse. I have owned the truck for two months now and except for slow response time, I use my Iphone as the key.
Now, when I jump in and toggle drive it says to place my key next to the door panel. I try my...
