Hi guys, I'm hoping you can help me out here. I just got my R1T last month!
I am in and out of my truck a lot of the day while at home and always keep my truck unlocked in my driveway, that is, until night time. I also don't lock my truck for quick run in/out stops like dropping off packages...
OK guys lets chill out. Donald Stanfield, have you driven a Raptor/F150? The F150 is much more comfortable and easy to drive than my R1T, rides smoother, 1800lbs lighter, and handling may be better or not because that is quite a subjective experience to most. In my R1T the seats for my frame...
I'm also excited about a retrofit or adapter. I'm going on a 3,000 mile road trip soon and we're taking the Tesla instead of the R1T because CCS charging looks to be much too complicated and the availability of DC Fast CCS chargings where we are going is very poor (Utah/Montana).
I will give it a little time, but I don't see the problem going away with my build because my shoulder blades dig into it. I tried stuffing a towel in the cavity and it is much better. The next step is to come up with some kind of a foam solution and then probably put a seat cover over it to...
I guess the aftermarket seats would be rather low. I also agree there is not much lateral support in these at all, which is important if you are going to have relatively stiff seats from the get-go. I am a big guy at 220lbs but I still tend to slide around in "spirited" driving.
Well I guess we...
Does anyone know if there are any aftermarket seats for the R1T yet? I just got my truck a couple weeks ago and this vehicle is amazing in every way except for the seats. I guess I didn't notice during my 10 minute test drive because I was so blown away by the other details of the vehicle...
It's been months since I've seen Rivian post about adding any new DC fast charging stations. Rivian promised 600 sites by the end of 2023, but to date they have deployed only about 18, or an average of one per month, so it doesn't feel like this is an area they are putting many resources into...
You guys realize that corporate can access literally any data they want right? Dash cams (JUST FOR DOG MODE, YEA RIGHT), the "private" photos on your iCloud storage, google drive, etc? I used to be a sysadmin and gee, if the data is on the company server, just about any 22 year old goofball with...
I've been wondering the same thing about paint and the cabin and battery.
I plan on tinting my front windshield because on new vehicles with really slanted windshields like our Model Y the windshield is so large it lets in a ton of sunlight.
I'd trade all the tech for mechanical front and rear lockers. I've done a lot of offroading in my life and haven't found a better solution. It's also easier on the trail and your tires. That video looks like it's just a matter of time before multiple tires get shredded and abused on those rocks...
Am I correct in assuming that the R1T uses RFID for the key fob and key cards? Is there a way to disable bluetooth on the R1T like on an iPhone? The idea being to only use RFID for access.
Just a thought experiment here, but if you were to say change your wifi password so that your truck could no longer connect, and lets say you threw your phone into the river (I want to do this sometimes), do you guys think that would help at all? I plan on not connecting my phone, EVER, nor...
Well that is disappointing. My '05 Tacoma had a rear locker and so does my current F150. Never been a fan of using computerized braking to get traction; that's not for real offroad use but more of an emergency situation, e.g. running into a small patch gravel or snow here and there.
Will the Dual Motor variant have mechanical lockers like the Ford Lightning (rear locker only)? I am a long time off-roader and I am so far unimpressed with the footage I've seen of the R1T quad motor in situations where one wheel has zero or near zero traction.
On a side note, I also wonder...
So re cap: in shipping mode we have unacceptable range loss; in cold weather, continually running heating elements are causing further unacceptable range loss; in instances where certain censors like the frunc-state sensors are out of spec/alignment, the vehicle won't go into sleep, and likewise...
That's good to know about the brightness. A neoprene fabric screen cover, like the one on the model Y below, would also work, plus be a win-win for camping. I'm always throwing stuff in/out of the seats when at camp--sometimes bulky items--so something like this would be good to have:
Fabric...
Did some quick math and assuming 30 cents per kWh (average cost in California as of 2023).
1% loss per day = 1/2MWh/yr = $150/yr in wasted electricty
2% loss per day = 1MWh/yr = $300/yr in wasted electricty
3% loss per day = 1.5MWh/yr = $450/yr in wasted electricty
Taking the higher end of...
Thanks for the post sacramentoelectric. This is my concern as well, and in fact is the reason why I've been waiting several months to confirm my configuration, nor will I confirm it until Rivian solves the issue of vampire drain. I often leave my vehicles parked for 1-6 weeks at a time and I do...
I have acute light sensitivity as well, especially at night. I wish that Tesla provided such an option as well, but since they integrated the stalk controls/drive modes and speedometer into the single screen, I understand why they don't permit turning the screen off as an option (probably per...
