What are the best setting to save battery while camping? With 4 campers during a 4 day car camping trip, I’m imaging wasting lots of power every time someone opens a door to retrieve an item. Turn off proximity locking/unlocking?
Does anyone know why the R1 would make an alert sound, auto brake and then shift to park when backing a trailer?
I was moving an empty boat trailer around my property on level ground. Many times when I went into reverse, I got an audible alert. The brakes were auto applied and my 2025 R1S...
The box around Rivian’s hitch receiver is so thick, my very common (Reese) trailer hitch pin isn’t long enough to make it through the receiver. The catch clasp for the pin can’t be inserted. I’ve got to buy a longer hitch pin now.
Test your hitch pin before you’re in a hurry to use it.
First R1S tire rotation today and @Discount Tire did a good job.
They were patient about learning about the vehicle’s unique tire change process.They thanked me for the chance to learn about a Rivian. They thanked me for providing jack pucks. They assured me if they had any questions, they...
Can we change the speed threshold at which the R1S drops to low ride height?
My recollection is that the Rivian guide at delivery said he set mine to 55 mph. I can’t find a setting in the manual or the menus. I’d like to increase it to a higher speed.
The Rivian advertised range assumes 2.8-2.9 miles/kW of efficiency. It seems most owners don’t achieve that level of efficiency.
Rivian has all the data on the real world efficiency of the fleet to calculate this. Should that be the source of data for the advertised range?
July in southeast Texas
2025 R1S on 20” AS
497 miles
2.17 mi/kWh
Average speed 57 mph
Charged 3 times, all Electrify America
Couldn’t initiate charging at an EV Connect in the pouring rain
Not as convenient as an ICE road trip, but not bad.
Received my Jack Pucks today. Fit them to the truck and decided to test my bottle jack with it. I’m at least 3 inches too short to get the tire off the ground.
Did you solve this with an extra tall jack, jack pads under a bottle jack, stacking the jack pucks, not raising your R1S to highest...
