I picked up my R1T about a month ago and finally got to drive it in the Colorado mountains.
Last weekend, I had to drive in blizzard conditions at night and was very happy with the handling as well as traction on my 20" AT tires in very slippery conditions.
Unfortunately, the lighting situation were less than ideal. Visibility was very low with the headlights on. There was a lot of reflection off the snow even when using the fog lights. The problem seems to be that the headlights basically overpower the fog lights and cause so much reflection which renders the fog lights ineffective.
In previous vehicles with fog lights, I always had the option to only turn on the fog lights (and not the headlights). I haven't been able to find such a setting in my Rivian.
I am curious to hear from others and their experiences with the fog lights in whiteout conditions, and whether anybody has a solution short of covering the headlights
