Like everyone else I am hoping a 2023 software update will address this ongoing battery drain issue. For such a “green” company this energy waste goes against their core values.

I wish Rivian would ditch the dual batteries and go with a single lithium 12v battery like Tesla has done. The voltage of a 12v battery is a good way to determine the state of charge. Here's a handy table with the breakdown: State of Charge Voltage 100% 12.7 - 13.2 75% 12.4 50% 12.2 25%...

Once you own a pickup you are hooked on the utility and practicality of the vehicle. I recently hauled home a 4' x 10' sheet of Sheetrock with my R1T. The unique gooseneck hinge design lets the bed extend to 7'. It's a great feature that isn't talked about much.

Yes, the initial batch of 2020 Y's had pretty horrendous workmanship. It's why we waited over a year to order one. My local Tesla store had demo model Y's and we went for a test drive not long after they received them from the factory. The Y that we test drove had a huge 6" long paint run on...

I heard if you now reject a Tesla on delivery your order starts all over again and it will takes months to get a replacement vehicle. Just a rumor, not a fact.

Have you tried Carmax for an offer? They currently have zero R1T’s listed when doing a nationwide inventory search.

Pics or it didn’t happen!

Tesla dropped their 7-day return policy in October of 2020. Rivian won’t be far behind. I would love to see photos of the huge panel gap. “Owning a Tesla vehicle means you are driving one of the most advanced, best performing and safest vehicles available. We are confident that you will feel...

I expected our new R1T to be similar to our 2021 Tesla Model Y. It’s not even close.

Well written post with some excellent information. I am confident this thread will help someone out in the future.

Thanks for the replies. I must admit that I am a bit shocked by the large amount of battery drain when the vehicle is idle. Part of me wished I kept my F-150 that I flipped for the Rivian. The Lightning had close to zero vampire drain over a weeks time. It’s a night and day difference between...

Pics, pics, pics!!!

I have owned my R1T for a month. I decided to actually document the battery drain during a 24 hour period after charging to 85%. I was a bit shocked to discover that the truck lost 7 miles/2% of the battery charge in a tad over 24 hours. Truck was parked outside with overnight temps in the 50’s...

This is a great lesson for those who haven’t taken delivery yet. I suggest doing what I did. Temper your excitement to take delivery and arrive early. Tell your delivery rep that you need roughly 10 minutes to look over the vehicle before the delivery process begins. Because you arrived early...

If your VIN has a “PN“ it’s a 2023 model. 2022’s had a “NN”.

I’m with you. A 5-hour drive and waiting over 2-months is ridiculous. Ask for a refund. I asked this exact question on delivery day and the Rivian rep. assured me that it would be a 100% refund of the purchase price, destination, DMV fees and taxes. They didn’t mention how long it would take...

I considered an air bag jack but if the Rivian air board compressor doesn’t work your basically SOL.

After experiencing my old 1.5 floor jack struggle to pickup the corner of my R1T to change a tire I decided its time to upgrade. I have been cross shopping 3-ton floor jacks recently. I was considering the $400 3-ton CAT and the $600 Pro Eagle Kratos and then stumbled across the $300 Harbor...

Can you store on its side?
