    Get the exterior, license plate mounted transponder. No obstruction on the windows and it’s further forward on vehicle. Have them on 3 cars without issue
  2. R1T truck cover recommendations?

    Haven’t bought a truck cover, but purchased several covers from carcovers.com. All were great
  3. Does your power tonneau cover still work

    Mine failed at 8mo and 20k miles. Used at minimum 6 times a week. I did periodically blow out the channels with compressed air. Damn…I really miss that option
  4. Rivian cost cutting suggestion: Lose the camp speaker

    Make it an option ... demand would be a tell for whether or not they would keep it.
  5. 21” spare with 20” wheel

    To be absolutely safe, put the odd size tire on the rear and run in conserve mode till repaired.
  6. Speedo accuracy with 20s

    Have commented on this in past. All OEM R1T with 21’s. Speedo has been INcorrect since delivery. Speed is over-stated on display 2-3 mph at Hwy speed. I’ve always wondered if the odometer is wrong, also. I drive a lot, but never 21k in 10 months! Much less since I drive multiple cars.
  7. Rivian employee arrested for DUI

    Wow ... the was brutal to watch. The Normal PD were profession and spent WAY too much time dealing with the drunks. Excellent training for maintaining their composer and not taking the belligerent insults personally.
  8. Manual & Powered tonneau cover info update - from my Guide on 7/24/2023

    I've owned a pickup for over 30 years; one with a shell the rest open beds, never a tonneau cover. The PTC on The R1T was awesome for me, until June. I've had my truck since Oct '22 and took reasonable care to make sure the top was clean(ish) before retracting and periodically blow out the...
  9. Cooling and Heating a tent using Vehicle A/C?

    While not addressing cooling a tent, I did use the cab as a refrigerator from 2pm - 11a the next day on the 1st of July. It was awesome! The back story, had a lunch meeting and tons (filled the back seat and passenger seat) of left overs. Lots of lunch meat, potato salads, coleslaw, etc. No...
  10. “New” Quad Motor R1T pricing is crazy and not sustainable (even if Cybertruck priced higher than original reveal price estimate)

    The CT is a gimmick. It isn't designed for any real use other than a talking/show piece. Regardless of speed, efficiency, cool factor, or any emotional feeling about the CT - it's not a truck! What's the cargo volume - much less the cabin! Can it tow? All the other trucks have been shown to...
  11. Water leak through the windows on an R1T when pressure washed

    No wind noise... Lots of door drainage after long rain storms.
  12. How low have you run the battery?

    0% - after a day of towing vehicles around town on a trailer. I was 1 mile from home?
  13. Why does Rivian app require credit card info?

    Need a CC on file for the music subscriptions during the free period also, after a software update. Makes it easier to start auto pay. No more TuneIn radio in my R1T. Very disappointed in the entertainment system … now fee for Bluetooth, yet
  14. Not enough range warning

    Recommend having the EVgo and charge point apps on your phone. Make trip from Toledo, OH to Hilton Head, SC area. Plan your trips prior to departure and have alternatives. I75 is a main N - S travel artery and the R1T Nav was only fair.
  15. Decision Time Tidal or Spotify?

    Spotify and Bluetooth. I didn’t even bother with the TunedIn after the software update that required a CC. I don’t personally like when a mfg tries to lock out their systems to other services - I have pandora, sirusXM and Web broadcast on my phone
  16. Recommendations for home charger?

    Get any level 2 charger. I have a 4 yr old ChargePoint at hm. Works great for the R1T and Chevy Bolt.
  17. Trip Accuracy Issues

    I generally feel the indicated milage is over stated. My R1T is 7 months old and I'm over 14k miles already. I can confirm the the speedometer indicates 2-3 mph over speed when driving at 35mph and above, ie. 45 actual - 47 indicated, 75 actual -78 indicated. I have the stock 21" tires
  18. Finally took delivery but might turn it back in

    As for the steering shake, it maybe as simple as an unbalanced tire. After doing some off road driving, I lost a balance weight on my front right tire. Same issue, at high speeds I'd get a noticeable shake in the steering wheel - not as much as you describe, though.
