I've put a lot of miles on my R1T in the last month, and so I've accumulated a large number of charging sessions recently. I decided to quickly plot the data to see what an "average" curve looks like. It turns out there's not really a typical curve (which I suppose isn't really a surprise.)...
18 foot 2022 Featherlite aluminum car hauler trailer. Includes a brand new Goodyear spare tire ($250 value), Proven brand hitch coupler lock ($225 value), and eight airline rail tie-down loops.
Less than 1000 miles on the trailer. Like new.
Dual Dexter torsion arm axles with self-adjusting...
I successfully connected my Rivian telemetry to ABRP for live charge tracking and prediction. I can't take a ton of credit for it really, as I'm just piggybacking on the Home Assistant plugin for the most part, but it works! I had this "working" about a week ago, but of course Rivian shut down...
I love my R1T, and I find driver plus to generally be pretty good, but the adaptive cruise alone is awful. Yes, there's still phantom braking. Yes, it overreacts when you're closing in on a car (why cant it slow more gradually?). Yes, it gives up when it's raining, and it doesn't let you fall...
I did another trip from between Seattle and Portland pulling a car hauler. I figured I’d share more data.
- R1T with 21s, with aero caps removed.
- 18’ Featherlite 3182 aluminum trailer (1450 lbs empty)
- 2001 Camaro with no side windows (so presumably extra drag). Full interior removed, but...
I've been disappointed that nobody has been sharing any experiences towing a car. Lots of boats, but no cars. @gideontherivian had kind of shared some towing teasers, but I assume he was an employee, and so no efficiency, charging, or general experiences notes were really shared. So I had to try...
My R1T has been making progressively worse noises from the front end. There’s suspension squeaking and clunking going over ”soft” 20mph residential street speed bumps, there’s creaking when starting from a standstill, and now there’s even a small thud when you transition from accel to decel...
About two weeks into ownership, I figured I should put the truck to the test on a good road trip. The trip is only half done (I'm still in Saskatchewan), but I figured I'd share some early info. So far, the truck has been great. I've developed a couple noises (mostly front suspension, but also...
I took delivery of my new Canyon Red R1T this morning at 8:30. Truck was in great shape. Recent VIN (7xxx), no cosmetic defects (except for a minor paint chip in the tailgate door jamb somehow). But I got 6 miles from the service center (less than a mile left to get home), and this message...
I think my number might be getting called soon for my Rivian (I got the Seamless Process email). Can anyone in the Seattle area share a bank/credit union that they worked with for a good rate on a Rivian? There are a bunch of recent-ish posts on the forums about 2ish % interest rates, but the...
