We are about to have our home charging system installed. We have some questions on how to proceed.
We have had our R1T for about two weeks and are new at this whole EV thing. We took delivery of our Rivian at the Factory in Normal, Illinois. We had traveled to Normal with our Airstream travel...
We took delivery of our R1T two weeks ago. Ours came without any tonneau cover. It appears that there are slots in the bed gunnels. Will these accommodate the manual tonneau panels if and when they become available?

I have had my R1T for just a few days. Today I had the occasion to try out the horn. It's pretty wimpy. Has anyone replaced theirs with something a little more robust?

We finally have the R1T in our possession. The Factory Delivery was a great experience. We also took the factory tour. We were very impressed. The delivery process was very well done. SuEllyn took a test drive with one of the Rivian technicians.
We love driving...
After an almost 4 1/2 year wait, we are taking delivery of our R1T at the Factory next Wednesday (04/26). We have been looking at photos of these vehicles for a long time. The Rivian Blue vehicles sometimes look very different in these pictures. We are writing it off to lighting situations. We...
We will be taking delivery of our R1T at the Factory in Normal in a couple of weeks. We will be driving back to Florida from there. We are new to EV's. As we will need to charge out in the wild, we are now wondering what EV charging networks we need to be members of. We also need to know what...
Our Rivian wall charger has already been shipped and we are due to get it this week. We plan to have it professionally installed.
We have a four-car garage. We intend to keep the R1T in bay #1. We intend to back her in to make getting in and out of the truck easier. Our main electric boxes and...
I will soon be taking delivery of my long awaited R1T at the Factory in Normal, Illinois. My truck has the 21" road wheels.
I am seeking guidance from the group as to whether I should immediately remove the plastic inserts from my wheels. I will be driving the truck back to Florida.

We have finally gotten a confirmed R1T. It was actually a factory orphan in the R1 Shop. It was exactly our configuration. We now have it locked in for Factory delivery. She is a 2023 that was very recently produced. Her VIV ends: PN022xxx. We plan to take delivery at the Factory in Normal...
As I am well into my fifth year of this Rivian journey, I am wondering how many others are in this same boat. Rivian is telling me that I cannot have a truck because I do not live near a Service Center. I understand that Rivian is now adding two more Service Centers in Florida, one in Tampa and...
We are very early adopters with an order date of Nov. 28, 2018. Rivian is telling us that we can not get a truck because we are too far from a Service Center. We are in the Florida Panhandle. We are 300 miles from Atlanta and 400 miles from Orlando. For this same reason, we will not be permitted...
We are camped in Cumberland Mountain State Park in Crossville, Tennessee. Last night we saw a Rivian Blue R1T camped in a site near us. He had an over-bed popup tent.

We have just received a letter from the Rivian Customer Engagement Center. We had inquired as to why we had not received an invitation into the R1 Shop. We had also asked why we did not have a guide assigned as we were one of the very earliest adopters on November 28, 2018.
We were told that...
Is there anything special that you have to do when taking a Rivian through an automatic car wash? Do the electric motors just freewheel in neutral while the truck is pulled through the wash?
Brian
Is there anyone out there that has ordered the Explore Package and has stuck with it and refused to upgrade to the Adventure Package? By doing this, we now have a first half of 2023 delivery window even though We have a very early (November 28,2018) order date.
As Rivian production continues...
