  1. Efficiency / range at 80 mph?

    That's not quite true. Yes, going slower is more efficient, but you're looking at an instantaneous force chart, the car going 80mph will experience approximately double the drag force, but since your travel time has been reduced by 25% at 80 vs 60 you don't double the energy usage. It's actually...
  2. Camp Speaker... POS?

    Yeah but you know you can't generate reviewer hype with a glovebox. The speaker is a 'nice to have', but I'm sure the cost of developing it to ship/integrate with the vehicle is probably more than it was worth. And if it breaks is anyone looking to replace it with another OEM unit when...
  3. Stiffer ride on lower settings?

    Less air in the bags means softer springs (more pressure=higher ride), but the dampers are adjusted accordingly so the truck doesn't bottom out the tires against the fenders on bumps. The handling comes from the antiroll system and damper response, which is pretty unique here among trucks.
  4. 20” Rim with smaller tire?

    Some tire shops get antsy about it (I think Costco might balk) but a 115H load rating is supposed to be good for 10,700lbs. Our vehicles GVWR is 8530, over a ton less than that. On our cars the load is evenly distributed too unlike most trucks. The difference between 115 and 116 is meaningless...
  5. Education on Nema 14-50 (50 amp) plug vs 60 amp hardwire

    I went with a wall outlet because it's nice to have access to 220 power in the garage for other tools (welder, air compressors, etc) Hardwire doesn't give you that option, And for what, really? At 40A the car charges fully in 14 hours. 60A reduces that to nine and a half. Unless I'm driving the...
  6. Things you would like added/changed in software updates

    1 - Phone integration, android auto, carplay, etc. Everyone has it, and it can cover the gaps (of which there are many) in the existing system. 2 - All camera views - there are plenty of cameras and I want to be able to use ALL of them (and unlike reviewers/etc I really don't care that they're...
  7. So your alignment is bad? Maybe this is why.

    If commercial aviation had a 0.018% crash rate we would see 8 airplane crashes every single day in the US alone. Federal regulators grounded the 737 MAX for 18 months after 2 incidents. Once you start getting to scale, catastrophic failures like this just aren't acceptable, if the wheel comes...
  8. Does anyone's 4-way lumbar adjustments actually work?

    Mine works every direction, though haven't tested it with memory function since I've been the only driver.
  9. 7 days to return Rivian?

    I'd pay attention to serious issues/defects that are hard or impossible to fix. Misshapen panels or paint defects are hard to remediate, I've found several dust nibs in mine (in clear so it doesn't show as harsh as under base coat but it shows when wrapped over), I may have asked for another...
  10. 33" highway tires on 20s?

    If you can get it calibrated to a 275/55/R20 (32" tire) there are a lot of options there that exceed original load/speed ratings. Load hasn't seemed to be the issue in the tires I've seen at 33" size, but if you get a tire shop that balks about going to a lower speed rating (albeit one higher...
  11. Window doesn’t close completely

    I spoke to them on the phone originally but wasn't offered something like that (maybe it's a future improvement), The service advisor had me try the local resets/calibration and then filed a service ticket. I'll have to call the SC directly tomorrow or something as they still haven't gotten...
  12. PaaK issues

    I've seen the opposite. If I unlock the truck with my phone (at least manually, I don't know if proximity does this because I'm at my house) I can get in the truck and drive away, leaving my phone outside of it. @Anyone else here does it let you do this too? Almost seems like an invitation to...
  13. VIN Over 10K - Any Issues Like Early VINs?

    Mine doesn't really have too many unexpected issues but I have a couple (11xxx) - A couple dust nibs in clearcoat noticeable under garage light, at least they're not under the base coat it looks like. My truck was held for a paint correction on right rear quarter and it was mostly good but...
  14. Cell phone mount

    They admit it's bad but won't provide the industry-standard solution we all want while they make it better. If it comes out great, cool, but right now it's pretty limited and I'd like at least the same base functionality I can get in a Mitsubishi Mirage.
  15. Window doesn’t close completely

    Just had the issue today my front passenger window goes up about 95% and makes the worst wind noise :( Tried recalibrate by window switch - nothing (manual won't lift it the whole way anyway). Tried hard reset to truck - no fix.
  16. Glass roof UV reduction efficiency measured (@ First Mile Dallas)

    This is neat to see but it's worth noting that IR is not the only source of heat through a window. Any light that gets through the windows that isn't reflected off the surface it strikes will become heat, whether it's UV, visible light, or IR. The factory tint should block most of the UV and I...
  17. DIY tire rotation -- which direction? Front to back or across and back?

    Tires age out in addition to wear - you'll get more total mileage rotating the spare through your other tires as opposed to letting it sit fresh and unused, and after 10 years you'd want to replace the spare anyway as the rubber hardens and loses flex. It's worse on regular trucks where the...
  18. How to use non-adaptive cruise control?

    Can confirm tow/haul just enables normal cruise control. It doesn't really change any other behaviors (similar to all purpose except enables trailer brake control) so unless you needed to run in conserve it seems like an easy way to change cruise control modes. When using cruise it warns you on...
  19. Tonneau cover issues

    Took delivery the other day and the tonneau didn't sound that rough like some of the other trucks I've heard (mostly the stacking makes noise), I'm not sure if it's one of the redesigned ones, I've only used it a handful of times to demonstrate it but it hasn't stuck.
  20. Rear camera unusable with tailgate down

    I'd really like to see all the cameras added to the camera select option, certainly the rear cab one at least because that's just useful to see a trailer or load even if the tailgate is up.
