Ask us Rivian R1T owners ANYTHING [AMA]!

[jjswan33]

Is the Spotify that comes with the R1T premium (no ads) or with ads? I haven't used Spotify in the past so need to setup an account.

It doesn't come with one or the other. It just links to your Spotify account, so if you have premium you will get that experience and if you have free that's what you get.

I created a free account, I have used it a couple times and haven't gotten any adds but I guess eventually with more use I would.

The radar detector discussion does raise a question…does anyone know if the R1T has a windshield coating that prohibits radar detector & toll device usage? Such devices only work in a Mach E if you can mount them in the “black dotted” area near the rear view mirror mount. After much frustration I finally gave up on mine.

On a road trip last weekend my Uniden R3 worked just fine through the windshield - plenty of warning from those pesky cops with their Ka band radars...

How much does the “flap” that covers the gooseneck hinges when the tailgate is down reduce bed length when the tailgate is up?

Only on inch or 2.

Seems you lose ~1" at front of cab and ~2" at tailgate because of the tonneau cover sticking out and that "flap".

Does Rivian’s 54” dimension include the space taken up by the flap?

i,e. Can something 54” long actually fit with the tailgate up?

Unfortunately, the 54" dimension is without the flap.

welp that’s a potential inconvenience. Thanks for measuring!

Not for static pressure. Once flow stops, measurements taken at any point in the system will be the same once it reaches equilibrium provided the system is small enough there's no external temperature and pressure changes across it.

Obviously? The problem is they are taking the measurement to determine when to shut off... when it's still flowing.

Are the body panels aluminum or steel? If the latter, can you see if a magnet will stick?

Body is aluminum.

That's kind of lame. It doesn't affect much for me, but they shouldn't report the length with the flap, since it's not like you can remove it to get back that ~2" of depth. If the panel could easily be detached, then I could excluding it.

I was using my compressor again today when the Rivian folks delivered my tire. Tire was at 46 psi and I did a set pressure of 50 psi. It would run and turn off right away but when I let it sit a second it started inflating again. The read pressure would spike to high 50s and then turn off come down and then it cycled through until it reached the teeter point between 49 and 50 psi.

Maybe I just wasn't patient enough, or using it to try to inflate my MTB tires first caused it to get confused. The included accessories completely suck for filling presta valves. I'll have to revisit it.

Yeah. Today was me revisiting it. I haven't tried a bike tire yet. I was sure my compressor was broken.
