It works fine for lumber.

Cough, cough... tonneau cover

The onboard inverter is one of the most disappointing aspects of the R1T. It can’t even deliver as much power as you’d expect from a standard household plug, much less high-wattage 240v output as seen in the Lightning. I really hope it is upgradeable in the future either via Rivian or a...

As a somewhat disillusioned owner, I’d rephrase that as “Rivian’s great EV expectations meet the harsh realities of software development”.

Just speculating, but it might be for an anti-poaching organization. They’ve been getting a fair bit of press for using electric motorcycles because they are quiet and they can sneak up on the poachers. Let’s hope they disabled the PWS! https://ridecake.com/en/anti-poaching/

Yes, actually, when it even worked at all. The phone-as-a-key feature has now completely failed on my truck though, and numerous efforts by Rivian service have not been able to revive it (for either my or my wife’s phones). There are many things I love about my truck, it is a marvel of...

The iPhone app is barely functional, let’s not get greedy! Apple Watch integration would be pretty sweet though. If it still takes 2-3 minutes to respond to an unlock button press like the iPhone app I’m not sure it would be worth it though.

There are a number of challenges, including 12v power, but to me the hardest part is antenna mounting. The all-glass roof is challenging and does not present a useful RF ground plane. You will likely need to mount to a roof crossbar and add a metal ground plane under the antenna for decent...

I'm honestly getting tired of doing Rivian's debugging and troubleshooting for them. Some of my existing 6 service issues have been open for over 2 weeks already with lots of time already spent going through steps with them, and it is another week still before they are able to get my truck...

I got it yesterday, and my wife is not pleased with the results. She ran into this on her morning commute today (which we’ve never seen before, the cameras worked properly immediately after installing the update): This will be open and unresolved service ticket #7 for me.

I took my family in our LG R1T on its first road trip from Seattle down to the Oregon coast this past weekend. I saw 2 different LG R1Ts down there- in Cannon Beach and in Manzanita! The kids get so instantly excited and scare the crap out of my while we’re driving and they see another Rivian...

Most of the WCEH sites top out around 50kw, whereas I’m getting real-world rates over 200kw from EA charging sites. It makes a huge difference! Also, a lot of the WCEH are only a single CCS charger and have weird random payment options. EA really is a much better experience with 4+ chargers per...

I just had to update my poll response from “perfect” to “periodically broken” after about a month of ownership. ? I have a service ticket in for it- they’re going to do an inspection of it to determine the problem, but have warned me that parts to fix/replace it are backordered so the best they...

A couple weeks ago, both NFC key cards stopped working. Then last weekend, both my wife’s and my Phone-as-key suddenly stopped working as well, so now we’re down to the key fob as the only working access method (and heading out on a road trip tomorrow, nervous AF about it). I’ve had service...

You nailed It with the concern over falling tree bits. I’ve tried to keep it brushed off, but the little bits of crud that are constantly falling from the trees (in the city, even) have already jammed mine up good and I have a service ticket open to repair it after less than 2 months of ownership.

That’s bizarre that swapping the pad made a difference. That replacement is not appreciably thinner.

The physical build is perfect, albeit some of the “truck bits” are not as durable as expectations and I already have service tickets for broken things that shouldn’t be broken yet. The software on the other hand should not be shipped yet. I’m having a lot of struggles with things as basic as...

I broke the plastic trim off the top of the tailgate when unloading some heavy cargo. It is super flimsy and not well-attached. Definitely in need of an aftermarket metal replacement with proper fastening.

FWIW, I’m contracted to get an Enphase IQ8 system installed in a few weeks. I requested the Sunlight Backup option and my installer refused to sell it to me as his experience was that it is not reliable enough to be worth it (even with me fully understanding all the caveats of it). I was hoping...

Do you think something like the Kuat Hi-Lo or Hi-Low Pro drop extenders would solve the clearance issues with both the pedal and tailgate? How many more inches does the tailgate need to clear it?
