  1. R1 Strut Damper Assembly - Teardown Video

    You didn't just disagree with my assessment of the truck, you attempted to educate me on why I was the wrong customer for your beloved brand. I'm not sure I know another word for someone that does that, other than fanboy. Maybe I'm bad at English too???
  2. R1 Strut Damper Assembly - Teardown Video

    "Work" is anything using the bed in this definition. Otherwise it's just an SUV/Van/Sedan/etc. Moving boxes between one house and another (I wrote a whole thread about this and was generally told I was an idiot and wrong and that it worked just fine. I was able to wedge the tailgate shut to a...
  3. R1 Strut Damper Assembly - Teardown Video

    This is an awful (arguably fan boy level) take. I know how it got here, and I know what's its purpose is. That doesn't forgive it of some pretty basic truck things that is fails quite miserably at.
  4. R1 Strut Damper Assembly - Teardown Video

    I'm surprised you guys get much "truck" usage out of them at all. The more I use mine as a tool, the more evident it is that it's a toy. Great adventure vehicle, awful work vehicle.
  5. 2026.07 Software Update notes - features & fixes coming

    Interstingly enough, one of the few things Interestingly enough, one of the few things Cybertruk got right. Squirters on the wiper. Lord knows they left enough wiper space for them!
  6. 2026.07 Software Update notes - features & fixes coming

    Underlined the important bit there. Imagine all the confusion if they wrote "State change algorithm for charging port door location found to have undocumented bit change loop that is only rectified with 7 repeated cycles of door open initiation, causing stack overflow and soft reset of...
  7. Leasing Miles Overage - Advice on next steps

    I can't find that in my contract. I'm in NY, what state are you in. Maybe it's state specific? Here's section 34 Here's section 13
  8. Leasing Miles Overage - Advice on next steps

    That is how I read it as well, and how leases typically work. If you buy it out, then you don't pay a mileage penalty. I'll have to reread the overage clause to check for @anrb97 comment. I didn't see that, but I didn't read it super deeply either. @Crazychemist I'm in a similar boat. Just...
  9. Motorcycle Hauling Trip with R1T -- Good news for the bike folks!

    Made the trip home with zero issues with the bike/straps/etc. Truck continues to prove it's more toy than tool though. Was pretty disappointed in how wallowy and floaty it felt with the additional weight in the bed. Lots more body lean, and a lot less control over suspension. Felt like overly...
  10. Motorcycle Hauling Trip with R1T -- Good news for the bike folks!

    Well, it's loaded. Louisville to Buffalo trip on Wednesday. More details as they arise!!!
  11. Single Pedal Driving - Why Not an ICE Feature?

    FYI, coasting in an EV is also more efficient than high regen. One pedal driving started as a party trick from Tesla (like no physical keys) and has become a standard that, well, isn't the best solution to the particular problem at hand.
  12. Worst truck ever. Bib fails and your done. No heat. No power just hours of beeping in a winter storm for 5 hrs.

    Mine is a gen 1 with a single battery. I feel like I read somewhere that 3/23 was the production date cutoff for getting dual batteries.
  13. Worst truck ever. Bib fails and your done. No heat. No power just hours of beeping in a winter storm for 5 hrs.

    Yea, they didn't program mine right either. Died the next morning. Mobile service was back out that day to replace 12V (AGAIN) and reprogram it.
  14. Worst truck ever. Bib fails and your done. No heat. No power just hours of beeping in a winter storm for 5 hrs.

    Finally, a legit answer. Thank you. Are the contactors for the DC-DC invertor in that? If so, mine has failed once as well. Less spectacularly, but bricked none-the-less.
  15. Worst truck ever. Bib fails and your done. No heat. No power just hours of beeping in a winter storm for 5 hrs.

    Mine has failed a few times. You don't want it. Rivian tells me "its normal" now since they can't/won't fix it.......Wait, that's my front suspension, sorry, got confused.
  16. Worst truck ever. Bib fails and your done. No heat. No power just hours of beeping in a winter storm for 5 hrs.

    Lots of people like to yell into the void as therapy........This particular void has great sarcastic comebacks. I can see why they do it :D
  17. Seeking advice for towing a car

    I've been towing cars all over the country for years. Don't waste your money on a UHaul trailer. It won't work with a WDH, I've tried. Just simply not worth the hassle. Uhaul car transporters are hot garbage for trailers, and you couldn't pay me to use one of those things. Surge brakes are...
  18. Paid my $2500 for Autonomy+

    So, two things here. First I get the "it takes time to build trust" side of things. I've had the Rivian for 18mo now and largely trust it's lane centering, although it has to regain that trust after every update, which steals some value from it IMO. I almost implicitly trust adaptive cruise...
  19. Towing AWD All the Time?

    Great feedback. Thank you. I'm in a dual motor truck, it's in FWD mode most of the time anyway. No different than any plethora of other 2WD vehicles I've towed with. Appreciate the warning though!
