Sounds like an issue to be checked out in OP's truck. No issue with cooling my Gen 2 R1T. This summer drove I8 through AZ and CA. temps around 115. Battery stayed around 102 -105. Stopped to fast charge in Yuma ... went normal ... battery was in same temp range before and after charging.
Try adjusting the EQ. A few weeks ago riding with a friend we were listening to some of his band's tracks via Spotify. He plays bass in the band. His comment was that I had too much bass for how the band recorded the tracks and intended the balance. Maybe we have differing expectations. That...
My elevation is accurate (within about 30') when driving. It's using GPS, same as detecting truck location. So, when parked in a garage it can't see satellites and isn't reading satellites. But it also does not display the last known altitude. Instead displays some other number. But as...
You need a constant cell connection to stream. This is what you get with connect+. It pays for the cell connection and data. Not a scam. Same as Tesla and others. As others replied, alternatively you can use your cell phone as a hotspot and connect to it
It's a buffering issue. Whereas Spotify downloads all or most of a song at a time, Amazon music (at least on Rivian) is downloading a small portion of the song. So, loosing cell connection for 10 seconds on Spotify is not an issue on Amazon music / Alexa it is.
Distribution fee - I believe this is when the vehicle was delivered to a Rivian location to be sold locally, but is now being shipped again you Tempe, AZ for you. When buying from inventory you see this on some depending upon where the vehicle is located. Those with no fee are either locally...
In Arizona I was not able to transfer my Tesla plate to the R1T. The reason explained to me was we were leasing the vehicle (then immediately purchasing to get $7500 tax credit). However, in that interim period of a few weeks the leasing company owned the car. In AZ plates stay with the...
When in All-purpose mode my Gen2, per the graphic on the screen, all 4 wheels are always engaged when providing power and when regen. The only exception I have seen is when at very low speed (like in a parking lot) cornering, then only the front motor is regen. However, as I understand the...
In the summer with the standard pack Alpine to Dateland would be a stretch. May need to keep speed down to 65 to extend range and make up for the airconditioning. However, don't tell anyone, but my secret charging stop in Yuma is Circle K at 6544 E 32nd st. , just off I-8. Most people don't...
It shouldn't matter. There is only so much kinetic energy based upon the weight of the vehicle and the grade and length of downhill. As we go downhill, we feather the go peddle to maintain speed, so the amount of energy recaptured is pretty much constant regardless of regen setting. I live in...
Yes it is frustrating. But it is not a design flaw. Its evolution and It's intentional, sort of. Having spent a career in tech and software development there comes a time when new software has to break with older hardware and OS if it is to move forward. The more versions of hardware and OS...
My experience with Gen 2 R1T the problem has been resolved. Works exactly the same as my 2020 Tesla Y did. Key point is its pretty much line of sight, plus phone settings make a difference. If phone is in back pocket when approaching vehicle, it will not unlock. But if phone is in hand or...
It depends upon battery chemistry. The R1 standard battery is LFP. LFP batteries have a bit of a memory problem, so they do recommend charging to 100% regularly to clear the memory. The R1 large and max are NMC. NMC does not have memory issues, so no need for 100% charge. Tesla recently...
Although I was not towing, just drove back to Arizona from California along I-8. The ambient temperature at El Centro was 116. Battery temp was about 110. The cabin was comfortable with temp set to 75. We preconditioned to charge in Yuma. Yuma ambient temp was about 110 degrees. The battery...
If you order from stock, its 2025. If you custom build and order most likely 2025. I believe the special deals are always on current stock. So if custom build you will likely have the standard lease with no special deal. If you buy out the lease immediately the money factor will not matter
