R1S cabin temperature just too hot for Florida

[Dark-Fx]

Lots of weather reports in this thread. I’m using it to plan my next vacation.

Have had a lot of thunderstorms here in Michigan lately. One going on right now.

Thank you. I bet it will be over by the time I get there.

This post is beyond stupid. I agree, dumbass post to justify selling for a profit. I live in South Florida, my truck sits in alley between white buildings, that reflect the sun from all sides onto it. With all that neither the S or the T has an issue overcoming it. AC whine? Lol it’s quieter than an ICE engine running. I hope you buy a lemon for your next car, May karma set you straight.

Who the heck posts to an auto forum that they've sold their car as their first post? Unless this guys posts again, treat it like a troll post and ignore it.

My dude, have you seen the movie Idocracy?

Nah I was too busy drinking my electrolytes

Not sure why all the hostility to the OP.
Stock my R1S got way too hot. Even with windsheild tint and front window tint it can hit 127 on an 80 degree day when parked. That’s not a thoroughly thought out design.

That wouldn't be as much of an issue if preconditioning or even driving it would bring that down quickly, but it doesn’t for me. Barely cool air comes out of my vents, high 60s when measured.

Taking my R1S in to have them look at the AC.

You are doing the rational, logical thing - having it looked at by service. OP sold the vehicle, apparently without even investigating the problem or possible fixes. It is petty well documented at this point that this problem can frequently be solved.

Why would the OP wait months for a service appointment, with no guarantee of a fix, when selling it at a profit immediately fixes everything and includes a bonus payout?

The OP treats his car as a tool, not a fetish. That might explain their chilly reception here on this forum…

Instead I just buy a ton of $RIVN stock at $15 and $24 while laughing all the way to the bank in my R1S with ice cold AC.

I think you may have mistakenly posted here instead of r/wallstreetbets?

In his words, this is why he would do so:
"I hate losing the car but I hope to buy another one once these improvements happen.."

I’m right where I belong with like minded enthusiast. Folks who like fast cars and nice things.

We regularly talk about Rivian stock on this forum.

A sad story for sure.

I took delivery of my R1S in April after an 18 month wait. I absolutely love the driving, ride and performance of the vehicle. However I just sold it (for more than I paid for it) due to the extreme heat in the cab and the poor AC. We do not have covered or shaded parking at my office and when I would go out to lunch the cabin temperature was routinely above 130. It would not cool down on my drive to lunch or the 15 min home from work. The compressor also continually whined which was annoying. No Apple Car Play or XM radio were also factors. This is just not a car for Florida until improvements are made to the AC and adding a sunshade to the sunroof. I hate losing the car but I hope to buy another one once these improvements happen..

I haven't read all of the responses, but I live in the DFW area, and for the past month my cab temp is 135+ when i leave work. I turn on the climate control 5-7 minutes before i leave and it makes a tremendous difference by the time i get in the truck to leave. Sorry your S didnt live up to expectations, but I love my R1T.

Let me end this thread and prove how much of a nothingburger this is.

100 degree temps outside. Sensor reads 106 and cabin temp is 59.

I have no tint. 100% stock.

temps in Orlando are 92 and Miami is 87.

Solid excuses bro for trying to fill up the piggy bank.

We have also not noticed any significant heat radiating from the glass roof unless you put your hand directly on the glass. Six inches away it's barely noticeable. All stock, no mods.

I have a roof shade, no tint, no windshield shade. I vent my windows and never set my ac below 72 and leave it on auto and it gets cold immediately here where its been 100 every day for the last week. I close the windows and turn on cabin cooling as I'm walking out of the building to an uncovered parking lot.
