Honestly, I'm surprised the Lightning made it this long. What Ford doesn't seem to understand is that people don't just by EV's because they are electric. People buy EV's because they are arguably better than ICE vehicles for their primary use case. If you build a truck that is essentially the...

Related question - anyone know the ETA on the service center over by the Fishers airport?

It's my understanding that 6 AWG NM-B is not allowed for a 60 amp (breaker) circuit direct wired to your charger - which would have a continuous 48 amp load. It's fine for a 50 amp breaker wired to an NEMA 14-50 outlet in which case the charger would draw a continuous 42 amp load. 6 AWG THNN...

I use the less expensive version of the same plow on the back of my R1T https://shop.agricover.com/product/snowsport180. Works like a champ.

Will do. I assume that holding it down does emergency braking or something? If so, maybe (as others suggested) something like pressing the scroll wheel would be more appropriate. As I said in other posts though - I don't care how they do it. My argument is that It's basic functionality on...

Using the end of stalk button for resume at speeds above about 5 miles an hour would not affect its function for park. When you are moving above about 5 mph and press the end of stalk button the UI simply tells you to slow down before engaging park. It's a relatively useless message. Regardless...

Yeah I honestly wouldn't care how "resume" was implemented. I was just throwing out the end of stalk button idea because beyond a couple miles an hour pressing it gives you a warning that you have to slow down to shift into park.. duh... Regardless of how it is implemented. "Resume" as part of...

I understand your perspective. Likewise, I acknowledge that maybe there aren't many people who use it as regularly as I do. Regardless, what I can't understand is: Why would it have been left off in the first place? It's a normal sub function of cruise and almost every vehicle with cruise has...

Implemented properly, "resume" wouldn't affect your ability to engage cruise exactly as you do today. For example (as I suggested) using the end of stalk button to resume wouldn't effect existing cruise functionality in any way. However, it would add a feature that is normal and expected on any...

I gotcha.... but "frills" vs "basics"... On any other car, cruise comes with "resume" just like it comes with a button for "accelerate" and "decelerate". "Resume" is a basic. It's expected. It's "normal". Prioritize basics.

OK - I understand your point, but that's why I'm asking others to chime in. I can't believe I'm the only person that thinks it is a useful and basic feature. Honestly, I cant understand why "resume" wouldn't be there in the first place. I can't remember any vehicle I've owned that has has...

On my other cars that support "resume" I use cruise everywhere. It's a great feature to make sure I'm not speeding. If I come up to a stop I just hit the brakes, stop, hit resume when I start going again. Regardless... rather than questioning "why I use it"... I'd ask, why can't Rivian add a...

Not sure I understand your post. Every car I've owned in the last 20+ years has had "cruise" and "resume" as part of the cruise feature. Never heard of any standard feature about bike rack brake lights.

OK, I hate to complain because I love my R1T but the one thing that it doesn't have that annoys me the most - "resume" for cruise. I use "resume" all the time on all of my other vehicles. This seems like such an easy thing to add and I can't believe no one at Rivian thinks it is important. How...

I'm with you that some things might be difficult to do on your own, particularly if you don't have access to a manual with the correct procedures. However, there are a lot of jobs you could do. For example I could easily do the CV axles (job they just did under warranty at less than 30k...

Yeah - as much as it pains me (cuz I love this truck!) I've wondered if I should trade it for something like the Silverado before the warranty runs out. I don't think it's near as good a vehicle, but at least with a conventional auto manufacturer you could get parts... Or at least I'd think you...

I posted this on a different thread and then got to thinking I should start a new one. The bottom line is that I've been thinking (and getting concerned) about what is this vehicle (R1T) going to cost me to keep on the road once the warranty is up - particularly with limited availability to get...

I've been thinking about the same thing - i.e. what is this vehicle (R1T) going to cost me once the warranty is up? It seems to me that there are a couple of chronic issues that are not getting resolved quickly and there is a risk they will be long-term expenses. For example: 1. Front CV axles...

Quick update - they ended up replacing both front half shafts (CV axles) to fix the knocking noise.

Just took my R1T into the Cincy SC for what sounds exactly like your problem. On the ride to show the tech, he quickly concluded it was hub bearings. That said - still in service. Will let you know what I hear back.
