So, headed into town today, roughly 6-7 miles. Driving at a modest pace, not exceeding about 45 mph. As I looked over to my center display, I was shocked to see all motors registering a temperature around 240 degrees. Whoa! That is pretty darn hot for just putting around. In fact, one motor rose...

Okay. I’ve had my R1T for a month and a half, charging only at home. Having never charged remotely, I have no idea about the procedures or routines for remote charging with the different vendors. I signed up for the ChargePoint connection via my Rivian home page, assuming that created some sort...

So, I’m getting my full size spare tire/wheel (20” AT) delivered to my house, tomorrow. That’s kinda cool. I had a question regarding reduced regen on longer grades. So, I posted it on my app. In short order I received a call from service to answer my question and put my mind at ease. At that...

Electric fridges need to breath and will create some heat in an already warm frunk. Not sure that is the best place for maximum efficiency. if one has room, the back seat area is a good option. It’s very easy to setup. I did it in short order, with a piece of plywood, as a proof of concept...

I think it’s pretty well established that the large pack has roughly 135 kWh. Has anyone determined how many useable kWh there are in the large battery pack? I’ve seen #’s ranging from 128 kWh to 132 kWh. Maybe I missed it somewhere. It would be a nice number to know when calculating max range..

The escape button in the rear bed is a security issue for my use case. Has anybody disabled/disconnected this button and how did you do it? And, yes, I fully understand that a determined thief will find a way. It’s the opportunistic thief I would like to discourage. Thanks.

Does anyone have any knowledge/incite into when the proposed Reno/Sparks service center will open. Rivian shows it as a future SC, but it sure would nice to get it rolling ASAP. Thanks.

Assuming a purchase price below $80K and with income limits met, does a new R1T, purchased after April 2023, qualify for the full $7500 tax credit or only $3750? Specifically, is there an issue with the batteries that could reduce the maximum credit to $3750? I thought Rivian was okay on...

We have all had the experience of driving behind somebody that is constantly on and off their brakes. You know - the persistent tailgater, erratic on and off the gas/brakes, two foot, etc drivers. It can be annoying watching those brake lights constantly cycling, often times for no good reason...

Is it, or will it ever be, possible to use a smart watch as a key, instead of a smart phone? I have an AppleWatch with cellular connectivity. Basically, the watch performs most of the same functions (calls, texts, emails, mobile payments, etc, etc.) as the iPhone. Therefore, I often go out...

I will be mounting a 79” long RTT, when I get my R1T. I will be using a tall bed rack, but would like to keep the rack as low as possible. Ideally, it will be below the shark fin height, but just clear the spoiler. The tent would then mount right up to the shark fin. I’m not looking to have the...

Just got this email update from Xtrusion Overland, yesterday. Looks like they finally have their bed racks ready to go. I’m diggin’ the roof height option. They look great! We‘ll see what shows up on their website, tomorrow. _____________________________________ Xtrusion Overland has...

As proximity to a service center seems to be somewhat of a consideration for order fulfillment, can anybody provide a list of current operational service centers as well as future locations, preferably with projected opening dates? Thanks. ————————- Okay. I found a list of the current service...

On the R1T’s the roof is the same color as the body. On the R1S’s the roof is black with chrome trim, regardless of the body color. Not sure why Rivian chose this path. So, here’s the question - which of these two iterations of the R1S looks better. Before I state my preference, let me make it...

Does anybody have any detailed information regarding the underbody shield option versus the standard shield? Is it worth $1700? I know that Rivian has gone to lengths to reinforce the underbody in stock trim. Obviously, this would be necessary to protect the battery pack in off-road excursions...

Help!! Has anybody found an after market, roof height bed rack for the R1T? Between the Rivian mounting portals and the tonneau cover limitations, I’m becoming more concerned that Rivian completely whiffed on this one. I now have an R1S preorder, but am considering switching to the R1T...

I currently have an R1S preordered, but am considering switching to an R1T. I will be mounting my hardshell, 78” long RTT. If I were to get an R1T, I would also have to get a tall, roof height, bed mounted rack on which to mount my tent. Hopefully, the aftermarket will have such racks available...

New battery technologies are promising significantly higher energy density, longer range, and way faster charging. Is Rivian able to easily adapt these new batteries to their platform, as they become available? Will they be somewhat plug and play OR require a whole system redesign? Could a...

It’s fine that there are crossbars available, but their functionality is limited. And, the spacing of the mounting ports can be a problem. I have a hardshell rooftop tent with a much longer footprint then the folding Yakima type. The 36” spacing between the two forward ports is not enough to...
