Other forum posters have complained about the incredible acceleration in reverse. I sense an interesting solution to your problem.... at least less foolish than doing donuts in a lake or playing tug of war using a trailer hitch.

My understanding from other forum posts is: No. I worry that may be true as well for the winch, which Rivian removed from the configuration choices long ago but claimed will add back later. And I'd prefer not to have an after market winch that runs on the 12V computer battery, when I could have...

I am. Plus I am hoping November/December will have trucks produced with: Properly tightened and secured bolts for the underbody, alignment, suspension, bed interior, ... am I missing any mentioned here in the forum? Other various sources of clicking, clacking and clunking noises (CV joint?)...

Has anyone had success with driving on bumpy roads with the sunroof HeatShield in place?

We're finally seeing batches of Adventure builds with addons like reinforced underbody. Will Rivian start with those configs (Adventure, 20" ATs, underbody) first when pivoting to Ocean Coast interiors (fewest changes to their batch setup), or will they reset to the simple configs first when...

As I loaded hundreds of pounds of paving stones into my Model S, some dude walked by and said, "nice truck." It is, thank you. I will use my toys as trucks if I want. At least the R1T has an open bed. If the Subaru Baja were a four motor EV then perhaps I'd be reading those forums while watching...

It's so funny how dudes will rush to help a guy struggling with a manly task. Years ago I broke down in rural Texas at a gas station, and a parade of dudes wanted to impress their arm-ladies by offering to help. I was under the car and looked like I knew what I was doing, so I guess they figured...

I've created a read-only copy of my checklist here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1e1oYf0mDcZLJ8ejdgZpEBLJna1naaHIOVyj_ZVnO3xE/edit?usp=drivesdk Message me if you want to help edit, or post replies here and I'll incorporate them.

Indeed! And no CarPlay either.

I miss my parent's beat up old Dodge (pictured here in '98). One headlight sagged like a stroke victim, and the driver's door would swing open on its own on hard right turns. The passenger door was a different color and had the logo of a construction crew, so we kept a few parking cones in back...

It's a shame Rivian doesn't offer coast mode (no regen breaking) at least when using Conserve. The front tires are certainly going to wear faster if the back don't get to participate in slowing the vehicle down. That said, I won't be using coast or Conserve much, lest I regret my choice of 20" ATs.

I've heard of EVs getting bricked when their tiny 12V battery were taxed too much and couldn't power the computer system. Can we rely on the Rivian 12V for extended use with portable coolers, etc? Rivian used to have a winch option but removed it, and I really hope they're designing one to use...

Preorder 5/2021 R1T Adventure large pack, RB/OC, 20 AT + spare, powered tonneau, reinforced underbody, (winch, if they add it back) Delivery Window: est. Nov - Dec 2022 ... also in my signature, but that may change.

I don't have a way to verify yet, but can't you set the behavior upon park to leave the vehicle locked?

Here's the list I've been working on, though I have many months before taking delivery. Test Steering alignment Suspension All drive modes Road noise at various speeds Driver assist features, lane drift warning, cruise control Compressor Tonneau cover Tail gate Frunk and subfloor BT speaker...
