Ask us Rivian R1T owners ANYTHING [AMA]!

Once I put my R1T in Park, is there anyway to avoid having to pull the door handle twice to open the doors from the inside?

Yes. Check your vehicle settings for "Action on Park" or similar and set it to unlock all doors.

Got it, thanks!

If I may ask, who are you using for this service? Also, how much are they charging for clear bra on just the front? I am considering doing this as well. Thanks!

If anyone in the Bay Area is looking (especially the East Bay), check out http://www.paintprotectionconcepts.com The website sucks, so email/call. Dylan is great to work with.

600 lbs. Still waiting on the bike. Weight for the bike is 562 lbs, so it'll be interesting.

guess that's not an option for my BMW - it's 615.

Don’t know if it’s been asked yet but here’s my question:
What kind of paid subscriptions are offered and or needed from Rivian for the R1T/R1S?

In investor discussions Rivian talks a lot about improving margins through post sales revenue. So they have plans for your money. It's just not obvious yet how they will get it.

They will certainly eventually have a premium connectivity subscription. They may have a RAN subscription fee. They do plan lots of high margin vehicle add-ons if they can get them built.

I just signed the PBA on my R1T order this week and will be giving up my Model 3 to make it happen. Please don't flame me, but I'm curious if anyone has made the change to an R1T and had any regrets? I ask because my Model 3 does so many things well and I have some concerns that I might really miss some of them (excellent voice nav, voice commands in general, autopilot). My hope is the R1T can provide those things AND everything else I'm looking for from it, like a larger/taller vehicle with a more upright seating position, more space, more refined (and quiet) ride, craftsmanship, utility of truck, etc. I know I risk being immediately downvoted by even raising this question, but it's an honest concern/question that I'd really like to hear from current R1T owners about. Any insights, regrets or feedback you'd be willing to share would be appreciated.

I’ll disagree with some others here. I can only think of two things you will miss about your Model 3:

- energy consumption, you will only get 2 mi/kWh or so in the R1T
- parking in small spaces or parking garages, even getting into some charging locations in busy parking lots

I would argue the truck can otherwise do anything that the Tesla can. Not that I owned a Tesla but comparing to the EV6 I was driving before my R1T was delivered.

The subscription model will be a great revenue stream for Rivian. I'm a bit surprised that it's not up and running already.

Had that once with an iPhone - believe it was 2022.11 for me. Had left the family in the truck with my phone in it. Got out and made a purchase - was out for 5 mins tops. When I got back in, it wanted the keycard to activate.

Is there a purely mechanical way to open driver and passenger doors from outside and especially from inside? In case Russians got into a software update and decided to lock the doors and barbecue me by setting the battery pack on fire . Or if for a less dramatic reason electronics crap out.

Question, when using bluetooth audio, does the album art show? Does track listing show?

My android phone sort of shows the track listings but they say "unknown" until they are played. I get zero album art.

Curious what iphone users are getting.

Inside, pull the handle twice. Outside…get a bigger hammer?

I see album art, the current track info, and the currently playing playlist from ios over bluetooth.

I honestly find the album art annoying because so many are white/brightly colored, which appear blindingly bright at night.
