I did find an old thread that dealt with this, but I wonder if perhaps something has changed: today, I really needed to move my R1T (2022) a few feet while the driver's door was open. There is a safety interlock that prevents the truck from moving while the door is open--which is usually a very...
I'm shopping for an electric scooter to carry in my R1T's gear tunnel. It seems like this would be a good complement to the vehicle. E.g., I often find that when I'm charging while on a road trip, getting to a restaurant or shop that I'd like is more of a schlep than I'm up for. Hopping onto a...
My tonneau recently developed a "bounce": it would close almost completely and then reverse and re-open or it would open partially and then reverse, etc. I've seen a few other posts mentioning similar issues. The truck went in for her 22,500 mile checkup yesterday and I mentioned the issue to...
There have been several threads in which people have mentioned difficulties with well-meaning strangers who are unaware of Pet Comfort Mode. My wife and I made signs to hang in the truck's windows to address this.
There are commercial ones available, but a few minutes with PhotoShop was all it...
I was visiting the Vasa museum, in Stockholm, Sweden last week and spotted someone in front of me with a Rivian backpack. I didn't shout "hey, Rivian dude!" and the wearer vanished into the crowd. I now regret not being a bit more proactive! Just wondering if it was someone else on this forum...
I'd read about these (https://mevco.com/ ) but was surprised to see a truckload of them yesterday near St. Louis. Note the complete absence of Rivian badging.
So I was generally surfing around and discovered this poster from the 1981 French Open tennis tournament. Clearly our guardian has had a rich life, filled with adventure!
I brought the R1T into the SC for an alignment on Thursday. After getting it back, I started noticing a "clunk" when making hard left turns. Contacted the SC and they were great about it--just bring it in on Monday whenever convenient, which is cool. But I'm curious if anyone here has useful...
Just a quickie: we're about to get hit with the first significant snow since getting the R1T. (Not super-serious: should be about a foot of snow with, maybe, a bit of freezing rain. Certainly nothing compared to what folks in Buffalo have posted!) I'm just curious if people have any meaningful...
Maybe I missed a thread somewhere: is Rivian taking over and rebranding Tesla charger locations? We were passing through Columbia, MO last night and charged at a Rivian RAN location that I'm almost certain wasn't there the last time we came that way (a couple of months ago) and that I'm...
I'm glad there's an "off-topic" board on this site as this is _way_ off topic--but I think there are some people on this forum who can provide a very valuable perspective.
I'm building a home flight simulator cockpit, powered by an XBox Series X running MS Flight Simulator 2024 (which gets...
I'm currently arranging a trip to Seattle for an event in August. Yeah, it's way early, but hotel rooms are going fast and finding a place to park my R1T may influence my choice of hotels. I'll be very close to the Seattle Convention Center-Summit. The lots I've looked at so far don't accept...
A few days ago, we raised the R1T all the way up ("rock crawl") to get under it. (Unrelated: damn! that's an impressive gain in ground clearance!) While it was in the air, we noticed signs of a mis-assembly in the front, driver's side wheel well. It's hard to communicate with pictures, but I've...
My R1T has been in a (Rivian certified) body shop for a bit. They're repairing a rear panel dent (don't ask--I was an idiot; will post the story one of these days) and a windshield crack (the usual: some random stone chipped it and the crack propagated before I even noticed it--it was almost a...
Apologies if this is a long-beaten topic--I couldn't find any previous discussions on it, but I may have missed something.
I've just acquired a Yakima RTT for my R1T (photos etc. forthcoming--once I get it installed). We'll be inaugurating it out at a friend's property when he heads out on his...
I have not read the bill itself, only a couple of news articles about this, so I'm not completely confident that I know the reality or scope of the new law. But here's one article to start the ball rolling...
Martha Stewart appeared on CNBC's "Squawk Box" this morning from Paris. Just one sentence out of her interview, but a good one, she stated that she's getting an R1T and that she "love the whole thing"--shape, color, etc. and that the Cybertruck is "just too crazy." It was a nice little plug for...
Just sharing an observation.
Took the dog out for a drive in the R1T today and stopped at a fruit stand to buy some peaches. Several people arrived shortly after us, riding electric bicycles. They immediately gravitated to the truck and we chatted. It was a repeat of a conversation I've had many...
Maybe one of you wise folks has a helpful suggestion: we took delivery of our R1T in Virginia and drove it home to Illinois almost a month ago. When we took delivery, the folks in Richmond did all the paperwork for the vehicle to be registered and titled in IL and attached a VA temporary tag to...
