I certainly never shut up about mine to anyone who asks. Had a whole crowd gathered around me at one point a few weeks ago as I went to take the ferry over to Bainbridge Island. Was an entertaining hour of answering questions ?

20 lbs toolboxes don't impact with 20lbs of force when you suddenly stop and they slide forward. How is the Rivian going to handle all the adventure gear everyone is supposed to be able to use? Same way i said before - *securing the effing load*. it's not rocket science :D EDIT: Forgot to...

Automatic? Hell no. I don't want to drive in conserve. It may have a lot of juice, but it doesn't have all the juice. It also, i'm assuming, prevents 4 corner traction control since the rear motors are disengaged (this is 100% the reason that yes, you may still want 4 motors while cruising at...

I can't recall offhand but assuming you don't need to plug a hose in for the display to come on on the in-bed air compressor.. mine is bricked as well since the last update. Doesn't turn on. All other buttons seem to work (gear tunnel, tonneau, etc). EDIT: Submitted a service request so at...

At 70% AP puts me at 193-196. It's based on your driving history over the last so many miles or some such and dynamically adjusts. Less pedal to the metal and that number should raise for you (though I drive it like I stole it AND Rivian's cash so not sure how you're getting so low ?)

Ah, somehow I missed the part about having to drive around a bit first. Thanks, definitely user error then. I'm glad it doesn't go any lower. I think it's really good where they have it now, tho I do wish they'd just let each of us choose which pre-defined height we want to lower to (helpful to...

Not sure why you used the firewood example if you didn't want me to respond to that. Agreed on your other points, and none of those are mutually exclusive to securing unsecured loads, either.

Yea, my bad, couldn't tell. Maybe more emoticons? We need a sarcasm font that's not italics :D

I'm not sure you understand the meaning of redundancy. Those are not redundant systems, especially if the 'if possible' comes into play.

A net? A tarp? Any of the methods that tons of other people driving around use when their load overtops their bed?

Yes, every load of any size in any vehicle I carry it in gets secured by redundant mechanisms so I can ensure I'm not the asshole that killed someone because I think a situation is unlikely. I'm not going to change my opinion on this - always secure your loads. Your convenience is not worth...

Always secure your loads. Always. Come on people. Imagine if your tailgate failed and that heavy toolbox slid out the back on the freeway at 70mph. You'd have killed people. Always secure your load.

F150s and CTs are both enormous. Argue all you want about which is bigger, but driving a full size truck of any kind around in the city is a fucking pain in the ass. So, the argument over which is more enormous is kinda moot, they both are. (I used to drive an F250 with an 8-foot bed in the...

I didn't have to duck getting into my R1T in kneel mode and I wasn't close to hitting my head. Seat height was even with my ass. I'm 6'1".

Got my update last night. One thing they don't mention is there's some sort of minimum threshold before Kneel mode will engage from a stop. I was messing around in the parking garage right after update just going forward and back in and out of my spot and could not get kneel mode to engage. When...

I drive on every street. You're safe nowhere :)

Fellow Seattleite. The answer to 'good roads' is clearly 'D - all of the above' ? I do probably drive way too aggressively in town for how much power this thing has. If you're willing to risk a bit ticket (there are rarely police out this way just before and after rush hour when the road is...

Funny, I didn't give two shits about the Rivian dude in my passenger seat. As soon as I hit the freeway onramp I floored it and, if I remember my description from the time word for word, "squealed like a school girl". I do the same thing when test driving something on my own, so in my mind them...

I'm with everyone else. My T is insanely quick (not sure I'll call it fast with a limiter just over 110mph). I have yet to run into anyone on the streets that could take me off the line at a stop light (Yes, I know, I shouldn't do this on surface streets). Most everyone I've come up against I've...

As someone else said, you need to learn how to properly modulate the accelerator. The only time anyone in my truck experiences the like is when I'm not paying attention and have to go no regen to full regen to stop in time. Any time I'm carefully modulating the accelerator to engage regen, it's...
