  1. Is the trailer hitch on G1 R1S "grounded"?

    No, he said that was the case on his previous vehicle (Tacoma)
  2. 12 Volt Demons Caught Up With The Count

    Got the truck back from its second appointment. I suspect that the initial mobile technician only replaced one of the two batteries, because on the second visit they reported one of the batteries was actually degraded, so not just a software issue. They replaced it at no charge.
  3. Does the Rivian R2 have: SiriusXM and Walk-Away Lock

    I know the R2 software is a bit different, but on the R1 there is a master list of media apps that you can use to add and remove media apps from the media selector widget. If SiriusXM was not added to the media selector widget on that R2, it would not have appeared as a selectable source.
  4. Does the Rivian R2 have: SiriusXM and Walk-Away Lock

    1. Yes it does 2. It does, but it's via internet streaming not satellite
  5. Great Truck - Unrealistic to Maintain

    I think your second sentence there is the crux of the matter, and on which the OP would presumably disagree. There seems to be an increasing drumbeat of posts here that there are indeed major failure points which cause expensive repairs, which could be unmanageable when out of warranty.
  6. Aftermarket R2 accessories wishlist

    Would be nice to have rubber mats for the second row seat backs, too. Protects the seatbacks and becomes an extension of the rubber mat when the seats are folded down.
  7. 1 Month Update: R2 Three Day Ownership Review. Comparison to R1T. Efficiency and Range data!

    Check the screws holding on the underbody shield for a missing one. They were a problem item on the R1, and one of mine fell off and right in to my tire...
  8. R2 Cargo / Trunk Cover For Dog Fur

    You may want to consider restraining the dog in such a way that it cannot fly into the back seat area in a collision, which may mean a crate instead of a tether (which helps corral the shedding, too). Even a small dog can become a lethal projectile flying around your car in an accident.
  9. Does the Apple Music app have SharePlay?

    I doesn't mess up your library as long as you don't save or favorite anything, but it definitely does mess with your recommendations in terms of suggested playlists, songs, and artists on the home screen, as well as the songs that play in "radio" channels. My Apple Music account is now pretty...
  10. Finished R2 demo test drive? Share your review / impressions

    Counterpoint: it's more accessible/adaptive. You can perform nearly all the actions from behind using your fingers (as long as you remember the tilt is reversed). For people with thumb issues this allows them to operate the controls with their fingers, which is not possible when the controls...
  11. R2 Matrix Headlights in Action

    This is a pet peeve of mine. The US did not "loosen" regulations to allow these headlights, nor did we have our heads up our rears all those years that Europe had them and we did not. There is a lot more to it, but essentially European headlight regulations are basically subjective: if a...
  12. R2 Matrix Headlights in Action

    You're replying to a post that says the R1 was the first, not the R2...
  13. Do We Think The R2 Lottery is Over?

    I did nothing in my Rivian account, though I did do a demo drive last weekend and my timing has changed from 4-8 weeks to 2-4 weeks.
  14. Four years, four R1Ts. An adventure and a bitter-sweet cautionary tale.

    Thanks for this very thorough post and your thoughtful and detailed follow up replies. I'm sorry you've had so many issues, I feel very lucky after reading your post for the relatively pedestrian issues I've had with mine. It seems like your tech's brake theory has gone up the food chain: I...
  15. What’s the deal with the locks issues?

    I have a Gen 1 R1T and while my PaaK generally works as designed, my main issue is that it is defective by design: none of the proximity lock options provide a satisfactory experience when parked at home. If you turn proximity locking off at home, you may experience additional vampire drain...
  16. 12 Volt Demons Caught Up With The Count

    Two weeks after supposedly having both 12V batteries replaced (though only being charged for one) my "replace 12V" warning is back on again. :mad:
  17. Finished R2 demo test drive? Share your review / impressions

    Oh forgot to add: The turn signal sound in the R2 is ridiculous. I thought the R1 sound was bad, but the R2 sound is just so... gross. It sounds like someone filled a zip top bag with pudding and hit it with paint stirring stick. It's a "thwack" sound with a wet squelchy finish. Laughably...
  18. R2 accelerator vs. R1

    Another Gen 1 Quad R1T owner who just drove the R2 yesterday. I found the tuning of the R2 accelerator pedal easier to drive smoothly. It seemed to have more of dead-zone when transitioning between acceleration and regen and vice versa. While I have learned to drive the R1T smoothly, it...
  19. Finished R2 demo test drive? Share your review / impressions

    I’m a relatively early R1T owner with a relatively early R2 reservation, with a 4-8 week order window as of June 30 2026. The ride quality (on 20” AT) was better than I expected. We were allowed to take it ourselves and we made a point to find bad roads and hit every pothole we could find. The...
  20. rivian google maps vs native google maps

    - You can build trips in the Rivian app and send them to your vehicle, however it does not appear to have a true dead-reckoning offline mode and requires an internet connection for most navigation tasks while enroute. In this way it is more similar to AA/CP-based Google Maps than a native...
