  1. Initial Winter Driving on Snow -- Experience in R1T on 20" AT

    Yeah the people saying "just don't lift off the gas" are people who have never driven in heavy snow/ice. When you're already losing control of the vehicle you tend to lose fine motor control and precisely balancing throttle to avoid a lockup is beyond the capability of most drivers. There's a...
  2. Does cruise control on the R1T drive anyone else insane?

    It's generally worked for me but I want to have a setting to define acceptable distance variation or something. It doesn't drive as smoothly and naturally as I would (and I think this is pretty common in adaptive cruise systems.) If I get 5ft closer to the target car don't immediately slow down...
  3. Rear window squeak

    Curious what other peoples' findings are on this. My truck seems pretty quiet/well structured (apart from some very minor suspension noise that I'm not too bothered by) but I get this brain grinding squeak from the rear window sometimes that I intend to try to get Service to address but I wanted...
  4. Oddest use of your 120V outlets?

    If that's an ozone generator you risk doing a lot of damage to the interior, O3 will quickly age/degrade plastic, which is every surface in the car (including your seats).
  5. Wind Noise

    I get some wind noise from that area but as far as I can tell that's just the effect of having a big mirror out there. It doesn't feel like gaps in the window or anything (can't feel any air with my hand either) Curious what people are considering "major" wind noise. I had a window that...
  6. Jebinc’s tonneau cover winterizing mod

    One reason it's hard to take their "stay adventurous" marketing seriously. Sometimes when you're away from things, you can't just "bring it in", you need to fix it yourself.
  7. Rivian seats vs F-150 Lightning seats - Munro teardown review

    I'm concerned about the painted plastics they alluded to, where else are these used? Paint scratches off, especially in a truck so I wonder how it will look in a year. Just putting my water bottle in the side pocket leaves a scuff line that I wouldn't expect on a solid color part, now I have to...
  8. Max Pack delayed to 2024 according to configurator / email ?

    Considering the Cybertruck is still vaporware with an unknown price and spec maybe we should wait to see them actually around before we start getting pissed
  9. Why no glove compartment

    Why do I want something I wear on my face under the seat? I'd love to just have it up on the headliner where it's used. No way in hell I'm handing a cop my phone, that's why.
  10. Any tests done on Vampire battery drain?

    Where do you get this and the big long term SOC graph from?
  11. Cadillac Lyriq - debut edition orders accepted

    Frankly I'm amazed we don't have noise cancellation at the R1's price point. It's not like it's lacking the speakers for it.
  12. General NVH / Squeaks / Noises / Rattles Solutions

    I get a really annoying squeaking that appears to come from the rear window especially on twisting loads (backing at an angle over curbs or hitting some normal road bumps.) Has anyone found what something similar to this was? Doesn't seem to be temperature dependent it just happens and it annoys...
  13. PaaK causing issues with phone?

    Phones normally enter a suspend state (call it deep sleep, suspend idle, etc) and what I've noticed is the Rivian app prevents this. Your phone won't show it as that particular app using energy, but since it keeps it from sleeping properly it will drain about 2x as fast as normal in my...
  14. Thoughts on long-term rust?

    I'd assume their frames would probably be fine, modern cars don't have the issue quite as much, there's also a huge amount of aluminum used in exposed components that wouldn't be subject to rust so I expect this will do better than most normal cars. The underbody covering protects frame parts...
  15. Anyone using "Hummer / G-Wagon Tax Loophole" to write off their Rivian? [6000 Pound Vehicle Tax Deduction]

    I mean if you just lie about the usage you can claim it and they'll probably never know which is what I imagine a lot of the section 179 claimants are doing. Purchasing stuff for your 'business' and then using it for all your personal needs is not how this is supposed to work, and would...
  16. ⛔️ Powered Tonneau cover removed from R1T production until further notice on all future deliveries

    I think a lot of us didn't care - but I know in my case I optioned it because it felt like the only way to sneak a delivery in 2022 for the tax credit. The option effectively has a negative cost if it made the difference between me getting a truck or not. Although now that I have it, if it...
  17. What do you want addressed in the next OTA update?

    Put the truck into off-road medium or off-road high. There's definitely a softer damper setting available and you can feel a difference in the response from all-purpose to off-road even at the same ride height. I'd also like to be able to use it in all purpose - offroad mode disables your...
  18. Cv shafts keep popping out

    Yeah I think a theme so far is that they don't really understand the idea of "adventure" besides what they wrote for ad copy. Things don't go as planned, things break, you need a reasonable degree of self sufficiency. A real adventure is not a resort vacation, but that's the image they're...
  19. ⛔️ Powered Tonneau cover removed from R1T production until further notice on all future deliveries

    Exactly this, it sucks to see features stripped, and I really have no idea where this leaves the rest of us that have the covers if they break - but they'd be digging themselves a massive hole continuing to sell this option which not only burns cash but jams up the service department for...
  20. Anybody else delaying their purchase for a 2023?

    I don't know your situation but foregoing the tax credit in itself sounds like a big waste, unless you're in the boat of not being priced out by the new limits.
