If you're driving around in rural america, you spend time at the front end and the back end of many trips doing the following:
pull up to gate, stop
get out, open gate
get back in, drive through gate, stop
get out, shut gate
continue on
In my R1T, this is a royal PITA, due to having to put the...
Does anyone have any experience with repairing / understanding how the windows work?
My driver window is up (fortunately) but won't go down. Just took delivery and I swear it worked once at the SC. It's a long ways back so I'm wondering if there's any way to investigate / fix. Other three...
Does anyone have a solution to keep the compressor cover shut? Mine seems like it's just spring loaded and is always a bit open. Seems like something easily snagged to break off. Stick-on velcro seems likely to get fuzzed up and not work.
Taking delivery next week, then a long drive. It's my understanding a Tesla Tap can be used to adapt to CCS for a home charger. Can the same be done with a regular Tesla supercharger (not a magicdock?)
Sorry if this is an old and settled topic, but are there any numbers on battery drain related to keeping the battery warm? Ideally, something like KwH / deg below 0C/32F or something like that. Also any numbers related to AC power required under the same circumstances when plugged in?
It's...
I was listening to Hidden Brain on MTPR last night, a segment entitled "Making the Most of your Mistakes", and it mentions one of the ways Toyota factories are run. I found the whole podcast worthwhile but for the impatient, the Toyota factory part is at about 27:34. It's an interesting short...
We're hoping to take delivery in a few weeks in Bellevue, WA. It's been a long wait, but jazzed to get rolling. We're going to have a long drive home to MT and wondering how many different charging apps and memberships people generally have. Sure would be nice to be able to just swipe a...
I'm wondering about the advantages of the Rivian wall charger vs some other. The main reason I ask is that our electric provider is offering a discounted night charging rate via their installed charger. I haven't asked them yet if they will provide that rate with other chargers, but based on...
We've had an R1T on order since 2020-04-04. Our delivery window has been continually slipped, I believe because of the distance we are from a service center (we're in Montana, 500+ miles to service center). Our delivery window was Jan-Mar 2024, and now says Oct-Dec 2024.
Has anyone taken...
I have had an R1T on order since 2020-04-04.
Originally a Max Pack, it was changed to the Large when the Max got delayed.
The configuration hasn't really changed much, and is:
Adventure Package
Quad Motor AWD
Large Battery
Rivian Blue
Manual Tonneau
Wall Charger
My previous delivery...
Can someone explain to me exactly what the side rails on the R1T are?
Just got the note saying if I don't order the manual tonneau cover, I don't get the side rails.
Are they something added onto / cut into the top of the bed sidewalls?
I had assumed they were a permanent part of the bed, but...
Our local utility charges extra at peak hours. Can a Rivian be programmed to only charge during certain periods of time, and left plugged in to a charger?
I'm wondering what peoples' thoughts are on how the R1T will work out in real life towing situations. Just because it's can tow 11,000# doesn't mean that will work well in reality. I currently have three things I tow: a 3 horse/stock trailer, a small "Happier Camper" with a GVW of < 1500#, and...
The recent IPO filings revealed that Amazon have not only ordered 100,000 vans for delivery over the next 10 years, but that Amazon also controls ~20% of Rivian. Amazon is now flexing its muscle to prioritize their custom delivery van over the R1T.
The board needs to wake up and view the...
