  1. Dent and scratches in tailgate

    Happy Spring Solstice! Unfortunately, I backed into a concrete overhang (I am so mad with myself) this morning and got an 24 or so inch wide, 2 inch tall dent with some deep scratches along the top of my tailgate (see hopefully attached image). Anyone have an idea how much a repair would be...
  2. Driver side seat wear, 2022 R1T

    I’ve got an appointment for this as well as a few other things later this week. My ā€œwearā€ is not the piping but the vegan leather. I’ve had my R1T just under 3 years. I’ve never had a vehicle’s seat wear like this. It’s not covered by warranty and would cost a little over $1,000 to replace which...
  3. Poll: Has your Rivian ever turtled?

    My R1T turtled back in 2023 and after their first attempt to fix it, it turtled as soon as I pulled into my driveway. I turned around and drove it right back. It turned out to be a module which they replaced and it hasn’t been an issue since. Though I suspect my front tires took a hit being in...
  4. Looking Stupid Waiting for the Unlock !!!!!

    I do this for my home and when we spend a week or more out of town and even with the key fob, I have to press it multiple times to unlock. That said, I understand Rivian is still working to resolve these issues while also trying to develop new features. Just this month or so, I’m finding more...
  5. Looking Stupid Waiting for the Unlock !!!!!

    I always have my key fob, always in my right front pocket, and my Gen 1 R1T always makes me wait. I hesitate to take it out of my pocket for a second or two, pull the fob out and just before I hit unlock, it will sometimes unlock. This is usually 10 seconds, every time. It’s pretty frustrating.
  6. Scout Motors on trucks and SUVs: "you can't get into this segment as a poser"

    Is there any concern about fuel breaking down if not used within 6-9 months? I can imagine first time EV buyers that get the fuel backup option and then don’t use it because most people don’t drive that much? This isn’t to suggest it’s a bad option to offer. It’s great for those that tow or...
  7. Tonneau cover options

    If water is your concern, I recommend the LOMAX or WeatherTech one (though I have zero experience with the Rivian one). I had a LOMAX on my previous truck, an F-150, the joints are sealed with pretty solid weather stripping. Drawbacks are unless you remove the whole cover, you can only uncover...
  8. Please stop asking for CarPlay - it’s terrible

    My R1T has been in the service center for two weeks now so I’ve had a Jeep Wagoneer for a rental and it comes with CarPlay. After finally getting to play with and learn CarPlay, I have to say that CarPlay is a huge NO for me. I significantly prefer the maps that Rivian provides and just use Waze...
  9. 2024 Halloween Theme (Knight Rider KITT Scanner Lights)? I guess it will be forked this year for Gen2 :(

    They do seem to be individually addressable - when you first approach the R1, the light bar lights up starting in the middle and goes outward.
  10. Frunk temp hotter than expected, is this normal?

    I noticed it gets hot in there as well. We go out on day trips with our little ones frequently and we pack lunches, drinks and juice boxes in a Yeti backpack and I put it in the frunk sitting on top of extra insulation to reduce the thermal transfer. It works. Also do the same when we drive 2.5...
  11. USS False Alerts Low Speeds Turning Left

    This started happening to me around the last update. I’m compiling a list of things for my next service visit and have included this.
  12. Airbags and light passengers

    I’ve had the same issue, my wife is about 115-120 lbs though. I complained about a year ago and they asked about weight. I don’t think they made any adjustments. I have to pay more attention to this again, I don’t know if it’s happened lately.
  13. Adapter shipping

    I got the email that it’s ready to be shipped at 2:30 p.m. EDT today. My R1T VIN is 14xxx, took delivery in the first week of November 2022.
  14. Rivian Seizure

    Hey Riviot! I had an intermittent ā€œsuspensionā€ issue last year and after my first visit to the service center (and the worst rental car ever), it came back as soon as I got home. I called and dropped my R1T off again and they found that the problem was the ā€œVehicle Dynamicsā€ module. They...
  15. Air Compressor

    I’ve had my R1T since Nov ā€˜22 and recently found that the air compressor shuts off after after its initial charge. If I’m using it to fill my tires, I have to wake it up after every tire to recharge it. I’ve also used it for framing a wall and I have to constantly walk out to wake it to recharge...
  16. Rivian scores BIG in Consumer Reports! #1 on List of "Owner Satisfaction by Brand"

    Also notable is the huge lead that Rivian has over 2nd place. 9% more are happy. 2nd place only has a 9% lead over 13th place.
  17. Excessive parking brake disengagement noise

    This has recently started for me as well (within the past week or two) while reversing from park after sitting for a several hours. Today it is rainy, I’ll try to track weather but I’m pretty sure it was dry when it happened earlier this week. I’ll also submit a ticket so Rivian knows because I...
  18. R2 Design Leak via Patent?

    Given the hump seen in the rear of the covered sneak peak and the hump in the rear on the patent image, I suspect this is a likely representation of the R2S (ā€œrepresentationā€ because look at the R1T in the patent image, it’s somewhat rounded in areas that are definitely straight). Also, I...
  19. Unacceptable Heater Performance

    There was a thread on this a couple weeks ago and I pulled out my thermal camera and it showed that the air coming out of the vent was mid 80s at the hottest and posted that on here. Most other cars push out air over 100 degrees (F). This was on High. It does feel warmer when my R1T is stopped...
