Rivian has severely limited BT connectivity to the infotainment center. Options are for the most part cell phone or FM transmitter (ie SXM radio) but the camp speaker does not appear to be so limited. My guess is part of their desire to control future revenue streams.

The half shaft/drive unit problems started at around 3,000 miles. Multiple unsuccessful repairs. At 12,000 miles Rivian took it back. I had other quality control problems but non which I considered to be a deal breaker.

Rivian’s process for dealing with defective vehicles is a disaster. I was told there is a “Committee” who is responsible for processing these problems. My first vehicle was a cash sale with trade in. It took me three months to get Rivian to even acknowledge my request to return the vehicle let...

Received an e-mail quality control survey from Rivian yesterday. It was predominately aimed at the various hot button topics discussed in this and other forums. Interestingly, very few questions about the infotainment center. I have had two R1T’S, a Launch Edition QM and my present DM R1T. After...

A simple solution would be for Rivian to open its USB-C ports to third party devices (including SXM radio) but since there would be no revenue stream by doing so I doubt this will ever happen.

My first R1T was a launch edition QM. Same problems. Multiple futile attempts to repair including the “washers” fix, subframe replacement, front drive unit replacement. Apparently my driving back and forth to the store on paved roads to get groceries was too stressful for it. Finally just parked...

Sorry I have an R1T.

I bought a rubber mat at Home Depot, cut 18 inches off, fits perfect. Very reasonable.

I bought an Interrobang. The delivery was a little slow but that is because they are a small operation. It fits in the existing track and the tailgate when closed acts as the locking mechanism preventing its removal. I have been extremely pleased with it.

Just a factor to consider and hardly a scientific test. My first R1T was a QM with 20” AT’s. It was at the SC a lot and during that time I was provided loaner vehicles, some R1T’s and some R1S’s, some with 20”AT’s and some with 21” tires. Generally, there was more tire hum from the AT’s which...

My first R1T was a LE QM with 20” AT tires. It suffered from a number of problems but as time went by the noise factor ( thumping, whining, clanking) continued to increase. Bad drive unit, half shafts and subframe which Rivian replaced. By the time I dove it home from the SC started all over...

I would suggest jacking each front tire up separately and rotating the tires in a circular motion forward and back checking for gear lash. Also move the tires laterally in and out looking for a sound similar to marbles in a metal can. The SC had difficulty diagnosing the problem when merely...

I have been unable to find a BT adapter or SXM BT receiver which will pair with my R1T. I have had to settle for an FM adapter. Has anyone found a BT adapter which will actually be recognized by and pair with the Rivian infotainment unit?

The comments by others are certainly informative. My experience has been a little different and that drives my view. I was an early R1T QM Launch Edition purchaser. For the first 3,000 miles the vehicle was a dream. Then things started to go wrong mechanically. I won’t dwell on the lesser fit...

It would be nice if the Rivian app could be opened with facial or fingerprint recognition.

Hard to tell from the description but I chased a front “suspension” noise for a long time with the Service Center all to no avail. Finally out of frustration I jacked the front end up and rotated/shook the tires and it was clear gear lash was the problem. Had previously had the bandaid half...

RAN chargers in Flagstaff, Arizona at the Basha’s/Walmart shopping center.

Had an R1S as a loaner a few months back. Low mileage. Loud wind noise from top of driver’s door 65 and above. Rain also came in the top of the door. My guess bad door alignment and or seal.

I have an OEM 20 inch AT tire and rim with around 2,300 miles on it. I do not have a gauge to measure the tread depth. Finally convinced Rivian to Lemon my QM R1T which had the 20 inch AT’s and replace it with a DM R1T which has 21’s so I no longer need the tire and rim for a spare. I am located...

I first reached out to Rivian for a replacement vehicle November 1 upon returning home from the most recent unsuccessful repair attempt. Still waiting.
