  1. Gear tunnel door storage fail (door w/ compressor hose hinges failed)

    Mine did that all the time until I moved the compressor hose out of that pocket - just pop it back in. It does surprise me the dichotomy between all the brilliant engineering on this truck and then just super janky little things like this. Nbd though, it's not broken, just not well designed.
  2. Libby App (via Bluetooth) on iPhone is 💩

    That's some premium quality entertainment you have there, by the way.
  3. How big of a deal is “clunking” as R1S dual motors engage/disengage?

    Adaptive cruise on curvy mountain roads is absolutely maddening. I love just about everything else about this truck but this drives me nuts. I just tend to turn cruise off, drop it into Sport and drive like an old-school 20th century human, which is admittedly, still pretty darn fun, especially...
  4. Red Canyon Color Back for 2026 Rivian

    I love the Red Canyon color. And I keep it dirty on purpose - mostly to annoy my neighbor.
  5. How big of a deal is “clunking” as R1S dual motors engage/disengage?

    I'm pretty sure it's a tuning issue. I have a 2024 Gen1 R1T dual max performance that went into the shop last fall when the rear drive disconnect completely crapped out. After a retuning I don't hear it at all when it engages - even when hauling butt up I-17 N of PHX. Though also I don't know...
  6. Newbie Camper Setup Help Requested

    You can swap the propane stove out for an induction stove though - works great!
  7. Opinions on iKamper, please.

    I vote yes. iKamper DLX Mini with optional fly, along with 1st Gen R1T in Endangered Red Canyon. Also Dometic induction stove and cooler. Very comfortable and rain proof!
  8. Terrible First experience with Mobile Service

    Though I could charge things from the USB-C ports in the center console I could never get the camera recording to work - it really seemed like it might be a mechanical issue - and it was! There was a small plug behind the accessory trunk under the console that had a broken tab and was slightly...
  9. Towing and Solar System Charging

    I was doing a road trip to northern CA this spring and was really obsessing about getting the range estimates right with mountain driving, so I added an altitude fudge in my spreadsheet - turns out for a 7,000 lb truck that's about 2.7KWh/1000 feet change - and 4.9KWh/1000 ft when hauling my...
  10. Console USB ports

    I don't think so, in my vehicle the headrest ports always seemed to work fine.
  11. Console USB ports

    In my case power/data to the center console ports was super flaky, acting just like there was a connector loose somewhere. Sure enough when I pulled the panel around the camp speaker latch inside the console I found a loose connector with a broken latch tab. I reseated the connector and jammed a...
  12. Rivian reputation, what do non-Rivian drivers think about Rivians?

    So, I don't wash my truck that often, because it's a truck and I do truck things with it. One day I come back after a run and someone has written in the dust on the tailgate: So, there's a data point for you!
  13. Notification that fans are running due to excessive heat.

    Same, in Tucson. My R1T doesn't seem to be particularly happy sitting outside when it's 100 bazillion degrees out, but I wouldn't either. Generally when I get the fans on notification it means I forgot to put the sunscreen up. I'm just happy the truck knows how to take care of itself.
  14. If you work at a SC - remember that Gary is watching

    This is true. I had my truck parked at the ski hill last winter where Gary helpfully showed me someone taking a leak right by the front wheel. There was a whole lot there that I didn't need to see.
