  1. Another great Mobile Service

    I live on an island and we have pretty regular service every 4 to 6 weeks (more during the tourist season when we are inundated with Rivians.), so an average of 2 or 3 weeks to schedule a visit. The average appointment for the resident Ford dealer is 35 days wait, so our Rivian service is...
  2. Gear Tunnel Confessionals

    We love our gear tunnel - or "the chunnel" as we call it. I was pulling a shopping bag out and a passing motorist stopped and marveled at what a great idea it was. When we are on a mainland shopping trip it nicely holds 4 wine or liquor boxes.
  3. Mirror Tilt Functionality Seems Backwards?

    I parallel park often and turned the mirror tilt off. The overhead view is so good it makes the R1T the easiest vehicle ever to park.
  4. Pet Mode SoC Limited

    As with the reply from they owner in rural Illinois, we have no choice. Our round trip from home is 12 hours IF the ferry runs, 28 if it doesn't. So our dogs always travel with us. Besides, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one constantly checking the truck temp via the app while relying on Pet Mode.
  5. Lack of updates lead me to use drone to see status of truck in body shop lot

    Drone issues and spying on private property aside, why didn't you just pick up the phone or, better yet, take the 2 hour drive when the repair shop was open. Did you ever consider handling this in person instead of via an internet forum?
  6. Lack of updates lead me to use drone to see status of truck in body shop lot

    My experience says they took off the fender so they could get the complete list of parts (probably 20-30 in that area) to order for replacement. Cool idea to use the drone, but I doubt the body shop would be happy you flew it over their private property with the intent to spy. Illegal where iive.
  7. Pet Mode SoC Limited

    I love pet mode but people don't know about it and think the dogs are suffering. My Rivian description and plate # was paged in a store and another time I came out to a well meaning guy talking on his phone to the police. Next trip I'm making a sign for the dashboard because I'm afraid someone...
  8. Home outdoor charging solutions

    I mounted the charger inside my barn and built an enclosure that matches the barn siding just big enough to hold the plug. The plug is out of the weather and the cable feeds easily through a hole in the barn wall. It is out of the way in a corner when not in use and fed inside.
  9. Volvo EX90 - first hand experience?

    My wife looked at the EX90 but bought the XC90 Recharge and loves it. I had to put fuel stabilizer in the tank because she only used a half tank in 9 months.
  10. Phone and keycard locked in R1S last Sunday

    On my Android phone the app always runs as a background task regardless of what is happening with the graphical interface portion of the app.
  11. Charge port height from ground?

    It is nice to get the cable out of the way when not in use. I mounted the charger in my barn and built a matching box on the outside to hold the plug. The main charger unit sits inside out of the weather and cord feeds through the wall back into the barn when not charging.
  12. Snow Mode instead of All Purpose for more even tire wear

    Wasn't R1S Gen 1 dual motors? My R1T DM switches to front wheel drive over 15mph unless needed. Seems like Snow Mode would be less efficient and more wear and tear on the drivetrain.
  13. Rear Ended in Denver

    If a fender is involved $42k is probably accurate as the glass roof needs to come off. Based on my experience it's 2-3 months, but mine was a year ago when parts were a bit more available.
  14. Traded in my '22 quad for a '25 dual performance...

    FWIW, in the phone app my 2023 R1T is listed as Drive System Performance Dual-Motor AWD.
  15. Concierge service offering for service

    It would make sense if they expanded the VW relationship to include service at VW dealerships.
  16. Bluetooth connection

    Thanks, but I spent 40 years writing inter-computer communication software and I thoroughly beat this possibility to death. PAAK used to work great on my Razr+ then stopped.on my Gen 1. Maybe someday an update to one of the players will bring it back.
  17. Bluetooth connection

    Assuming you are discussing PAAK and not music, this seems to be a common problem with Android phones. I searched all over Settings but can't find any setting for Ultrawode. My Razr+ worked great as a PAAK months ago, but now not so good.
  18. Phone as a key issue

    For some reason my Android (Razr+) phone started misbehaving as a key a few months ago. I finally just started carrying the FOB. When I forget the FOB and don't feel like going and getting it I learned I can turn my Bluetooth off and on and then it works fine.
  19. Apple Music and Android devices

    In case you want to try plan B, I put all my CDs and a bunch of albums and singles I bought from iTunes on my Android. I downloaded the offline ad-free music player Pulse from the Play Store, put it on shuffle, and when I hop in my R1T I randomly hear tunes from my selection of over 1K songs.
  20. Apple Music and Android devices

    You should be able to log into your Apple account and your Apple Music account from a Win 10 or 11 PC and "update your account".(Whatever that is). You will need to download Apple Music to the Win PC first, your Apple login is at https://account.apple.com/signin . I don't think you really need...
