Jason Cammisa R1T Review

[cheffie]

They haven't mentioned specific releases for that, but the vehicle is absolutely capable of that. All drive modes currently installed have their own profiles for all of those. New updates and drive modes could conceivably add or modify those profiles.

Well here’s hoping there’s an “Individual” setting.

I usually prefer a sporty setup (throttle, steering, ride height in the R1Ts case) with comfort ride settings.

Does the sport driving mode change throttle response/steering feel in the R1T? I know it stiffens up and lowers ride height.

you can mix and match, although I don’t think there’s a way to save a custom setting. Before I had my test drive I asked Rivian’s head of vehicle dynamics what settings to use.

Ah-that’s good. That solves 90% of it.

Do the settings stick to driver profiles between trips? If so that’s 99%!

Not sure. i know it will stay in the same drive mode you leave it in until changed, thst was confirmed to me at first mile. but don’t know if it associates with driver profile.

good question for @godfodder0901 ’s “ask us anything” thread ?

Ok, I’ll ask there!

The R1T suspension is where the opinions are all over the place.

Cammisa calls it the weak point in an otherwise crazy positive review.

Meanwhile Carlos Lago at C&D says it rides like a luxury sedan.

I’m coming from a GTI and MINI Cooper so I’m sure the R1T will be plenty comfy for me.

Based on the fact that Cammisa is comparing the R1T to the Raptor, the two statements in bold are not necessarily inconsistent.
